SCARCITY OF CITY WATER

At this season of the year the pres ent abundant supply of city water can only be maintained providing, the ut most care is taken to prevent unneces- sary waste, caused by defective pipes or leaky faucets. All customers of the Bisbee Water and Fuel company, are warned not to use water ether than for the purposes paid for. Under no con- dition will irrigating be tolerated. Where violation of the above provis-- ion is found to exist the company will shut of the water without notice and will not turn it on again during the season, except upon payment of an ad- vanced rate.

 The people that are settling and i'm proving this valley have proven ny re- suits that they are frugal and indus trious and a desirable class of citizens that any community can well feel proud of.

FIELD BY YAQUIS
 FOR BIG RANSOM
COLONEL MARTIN ERICSSON HELD
 CAPTIVE IN wILps OF SONORA
Reported that Indians Refuse to re- lease him Unless Paid Half Mil. lion Dollars-Rescue is Ordered

lion DoIlars-Rescue is Ordered
 Colonel Martin Ericson. well known Tn Bisbee, and one of the wealthiest men in the state of Sonora, has been captured by the Yaquis and is being held for ransom. General Mena. Mexican minister of war, acting on ad- vice of an official nature just received at the City of Mexico from Sonora. has ordered both Colonel Kosterlitsky and General Lorenzo Torres to set in motion all the military forces at their disposal toward rescuing Colonel Er- icson. As Ericson is an intimate ac- quaintance of his. General Mena is very much agitated over the affair.
 It is just two weeks since Colonel Ericson left the City of Mexico for So- nora. He had secured a concession to 10000 pertenencias of mining land on the Saqui river, fifty miles north on the Suaqui river, fifty miles north commencing work on his mining prop erty the Colonel lost no time in going to the Suaqui
 For years Colonel Ericson has given Yaquis preference to Mexicans at his mines. He has employed as many as he had room for. It is presumed that these same Yaquis have been most interested in having him captured and held for ransom. The ransom de manded by the Yaquis for Colonel Ericson is s5O0,O00. Until this sum is paid the colonel will be held as hos tage to deter Mexicans from executing Yaqui prisoners.
 Colonel Ericson is an American, well-known in Minnesota, Arizona and California, as well as throughout Mex ico His wealth is variously esti- mated at from S, 900 900 to SIG, 900, 900 gold, all accumulated during the past three years.
 1 General Mena expresses fear that the American colonel will be mur dered by the rebels unless the ran som is paid in ten days, the limit sci by the Yaquis.
 Colonel Kosterlitsky is expected tc cooperate with General Torres in res cuing Colonel Ericsson. General Me na has authorized Colonel Kosterlit sky to enlist any Americans of the border who wish to assist him. Gen eral Torres will pursue the Yaquis from the south while Colonel Roster litsky will head them of from the north.
 Ericson will not pay the ransom.

Prosperous Conditions Exist in That
 Part of Arizona.
 That portion of the Gila valley in which Duncan is located, while not very wide, is destined within few years to become one of the richest valleys in the territory, says the Guardian. A few years ago no one had any idea that this valley would ever be anything but a stock range. with a poorly cultivated patch of ground here and there. But within the past three or four years canals have been constructed and the waters of the Gila turned onto the fertile soil. which has so transformed the face of the country as to thoroughly disgust and dismay the "old mossback."
 For about twenty miles along the river fertile farms are encountered. To be sure the country is in its infan- cy, but it is safe prediction that with in five years every acre of tillable soil will be producing crops anf furnishing pleasant homes for hundreds of fam flies, with Duncan as headquarters. No doubt within few years this val ley will become a county by itself.
 At Duncan there are at present three stores. B. F. Billingsley, Stewart & Dunagan and VI A tark, all doing good business. MT. Stark is TOW erecting fine new store building. About two miles further up the river l. F. Campbell conducts another store. and also operates a sawmill, where he Manufactures lumber from cottonwooo logs. There is a drug store. black smith shop. barber shop and a good hotel, the latter being conducted by Mrs. J. T. Tong. which is an assurance that the traveller gets the very best the land affords. and is at once made i to feel that he is at home. There are also two saloons.
 Crops do not mature as early there

Elks THINKING ABOUT LocAT. ING PARK AT LEWIS SPRINGS
Plan is Now to Move Either to Old sriekyard Below the City or to springs from Don Louis Grounds

erickyard Below the City or to
 Springs from Don Louis Grounds
 The Elks are now discussing a proposition that may give Bisbee a recreation grounds at Lewis Springs. They have not as yet taken any steps toward carrying out this plan, any more than to talk the matter over and estimate the probable cost.
 we are considering two proposi- tions," said Sam Frakenberg yester- day; he was recently made a mem- Der of the committee of Elks which has charge of the proposed fencing of the ball park at Don Luis. which owned by the Elks.
 One of the plans" he continued. 5 is to move the grand stand to the old brickyard at the mouth of the canyon, and build a ball park there. The other is to move it to Lewis Springs. and build a large park
 At the springs there is plenty of water, and We could plant trees and grass. possibly going so far as to { have an artificial lake There would be a ball ground for baseball and football, and short race course. Lewis Springs is about the only place where a park of this kind could be built within short distance of the city It would be but little further to the springs than it is to Don Luis The trip has to be made on the rail road anyway.
 If the park is built at the brick yard. it can not be ornamented in any way for their is neither ground nor water If we want a recreation park it would have to be located al Lewis Springs or at some point still further away from the city"
 The new grounds will not be ready for several months, in case the Elks decided to make the change from Don Luis to either the old brickyard or Lewis Springs. The lodge vii first have to secure lease on ground
