ANNUAL INDUSTRIAL EDITION
Of the Douglas Dispatch Now Being
 Prepared


 The Annual Industrial Edition of the Douglas Daily Dispatch will in the near future be given into the hands of the readers. This edition will be of interest, inas much as it covers espe- cially the mining interests of Sonora, Mexico, and Cochise County.
 The mining fields of Sonora have recently become known to the world for it's great riches, and is attracting wide attention.
 Espec.al effort has been made to secure the dtata from these mines for two hundred miles below the Interna- tiona! line. and information has been obtained which will be of great good 10 the mining interests of the great Southwest.
 In this edition are write-ups from many of the leading men of Arizona and Sonora, Mexico upon particular subjects, such as Twenty Years Ago in Arizona" by Governor Alexander o. Brodie; The Mines of Sonora" by Governor Torres; "Railread Building in the Southwest" by former Governor James B. Orman. of Colorado, and oth- CTS.
 This edition will be well iliustrat, ed. and should be of great benefit in presenting this section 10 the notice Of capital and investors.

worlds consumption, and the numer- ous things which combine in the run ming and successful operation of the plant, all combine to make a story tru- ly entertaining and instructive.
 The great improvement of the grea. reduction plant at Douglas, with its increased capacity for output will re quire the greater output of the mines and thereby require larger force in the mines. With this increased force in the mines Bisbee will lose little if any of her pay roll on account of the removal of the smelters. The ab sence of sulphur smoke will give veg citation of all kinds an opportunity to grow, and from now on the lawns of Bisbee may be made green with trees and flowers. which has not been possible in the past.

 In company with Master Mechanic A. K. Adamson, a Review man tool; the last visit to the smelters last night The great furnaces, which for years have been like boiling caIdrons, were slowly cooling off, the machinery was being torn down, and many of the great wheels were being loaded on cars to be shipped to the Shelter City. Men who had finished their work with the Bisbee smelters were lettering here and there with an ex- pression of disappointment, and every where there was hurry and hustle. even the dummy engines seemed to he in a greater hurry than usual to get the required amount of work done in the short time remaining.
 The busiest man was Mir. Adamscn. who has had charge of the smelters for the past three years. and who goes to Douglas with the removal of the reduction works. Mf Adamson has made a wonderful record for him self in the wonderful output cf the smelters up to the very day of i.s closing down.
 The history of the Bisbee smelter since it's inception would be of sur passing interest to every reader; the gradual development by additional ma chinery from year to year; the vast output of copper which has marked the progress of the Copper Queen mine. the personnel of the vast armies Of employees who have come and gone during the past generation. and the vast riches of copper which has con , tinually added to the supply of the

At 12 o'clock last night the fires went out in the smelters, and they are silenced forever in Bisbee. The sul- phur smoke which for the past twenty seven years has curled above the great Copper Queen camp as an iE- dex of the great reduction plant, VIII no longer be seen by the residents of BIsbee. As smelting point this camp passes into history. and Viii be remembered as one of the greatest cn the American continent The redGc- ton of the copper ore henceforth pro- duced from this mine will be treated at Douglas.

chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberiain's
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures
colds and grip effectually and per-
manently, but prevents these diseases
from resulting in pneumonia. 1t is
also q certain cure for Group. Whoop-
ing cough is not dangerous when this
remedy is given. 1t contains no
opium or other harmful substance
and may be given as confidently to a
baby as to an adult. 1t is also pleas
ant to take. When all of these facts
are taken into consideration 1t is not
surprising that people in foreign
lands, as well as at home, esteem
this remedy very highly and very
few are willing to take any other
after having once used it. For sale
by all druggists.

Meeker.

Under the above caption recent
visitor gives his impressions of our
town in the A. o. U. w. Record of
Denver:
"Situate In the northwestern part
of Colorado, and on the banks of one
of the prettiest streams in Colorado,
n prosperous town OF 1000 souls, is
Meeker.
1.-THE town follows the contour of
sparkling White river, a stream fam
Gus for trout. D
"Meeker IL the nucleus of the best
game country in the West. In the
adjacant hills deer, elk, bear and
mountain goat are plentiful, and 1t is
in brief, a hunters paradise.
Cattle raising is the principal in
dustry and tho fertile valley which
follows the river and tributary
streams for miles up and below
Meekcr is dotted with the homes of
prosperous farmers.
"Meeker is situate about fifty miles
from railroad and to this fact a
great deal Of the charm Of the place
is due. 1t Is a well-to-do place with
a refreshing absence of cutting conf
petition. A railroad may be a bless
ing, but II SO, 1t frequently is dis
guised. 1t may be progress, but it is
of the sooty brand. There is more or
less talk that the Moffat Short line
will pass through Meeker. But
whether 1t does or not the future Of
Meeker will not be materially af-
fected. The varied natural resources
of the place are SO plentiful that her
prosperity Is assured. without the
stimulus of railway capital.
what struck me as most favor
able Characteristic was the sense of
absolute contentment Of the people.
The knocker was conspicuous by his
absence-all have n good word for
their town-and regard the place, as
one old timer facetiously remarked,
it's Gods country"

Same Here.

The salesman for Bon /. Look, the
Denver retail grocer, has been work
ing Routt county and claims to have
sold thousands of dollars worth OF
goods among people who expect to
sell their grain and farm produce to
the home merchant this fall. In our
opinion this is a very poor policy, but
at the same time the merchants are
somewhat to blame in not using the
advertising columns of the local pa-
pers In making familiar their prices.
In most cases the local merchant can
do better than any Denver house but
the people must be made to see this.
and the best way is for the local mer-
chant to Notwithstanding Pilot.
