The growth of Bisbee continues steady. The citizens of this city are stronger in the faith that Bisbee will become the largest city in Arizona than ever before. Every condition iustifies this confidence. The ap- pearance here during the last eighteen months of no less than a dozen deyel- lopment companies, who are now al work. having increased the number Of miners employed in the district by several hundred men, Is a guarantee of the future rapid growth of our city. Strangers come here and become ac- quainted win the mining industry and many Of them predict that Bisbee will soon rival Butte Montana, in size and importance.
 Many substantial improvements are now under way. Work is being pushed on the new hospital of the Copper Queen, which will accommo- date sixty to seventy-five patients and | will be the best furnished and equipped hospital in the southwest. Next in importance is the Pythian castle, to be erected on o. K. street. The foundation for this building is now ready, and Architect F. F. John son will let the contract on July sth. It will be 50 by 8 feet, and two so ries high. The lower story win be divided into two store rooms, with a ceiling If feet high. The second story will be IS feet high. It will consist of lodge hall, anterooms, lockers, etc. The entire upper story will be finished in whi e cedar. The front will be of pressed brick and white lava stone trimming. The building will be surmounted by a tower 40 feet high from the square of the building. In this tower will be a Howard clock and bell, which will weigh 500 pounds. The face of the clock will be lighted with electricity at night. This will be one of the lhaudsomest structures in Bisbee. and will bring O. K street into promi- hence.
 The block west of the gymnasium owned by William Hughes and George Dorflipger, is to be covered by two buildings. Both, these gentlemen will erect handsome structures, connected by a division wall.
