THANKSGIVING DAY

is a day appointed by the president or the United States to offer thanksgiving for all favors received and also to offer thanks for any deliyerance from any calamities or i'll luck which might have fallen on us Say, right here in our city the people have a whole lot ~ to De thankful for. For instance, our city fathers have allowed anyone and ev- .erYone to tear up our streets and as many of them at one time as they felt so disposed Of course they left them in a horrible condition, but what we should be thankful for is that they have condescended to allow us to coIi- tinue to use the t1foroughfares at all. We also feel grateful to know the Baldwin street car tracks can be torn up if the company does not lay the tracks as far as they promised When the street was given to them. But as for our own Thanksgiving, we feel more than thankful that we've had. the pleasure of knowing that all our pa irons feel grateful to us for the hign- grade, e-tasting. Tea at low price which we have been selling. They also know we sell nice, fresh-roasted Coffee, and that it's not only healthful. but ls fine bracer in the morning. Remem- Der, when you purchase at our store you receive your moneys worth and more, too, because we keep in stock full line of useful as well as orna- mental household goods which are yours by returning our tea checks which you receive every time you pul- chase our warranted good quality Tea and Coffee. We positively will not give any catch-penny trading stamps. What we give is over and above board for you to see, at A

RemembranCeS
 Of John Roach
LAST OF THE OLD sHlPYARDs TO
 BE DISPOSED OF
Originally Covered Two Blocks and Valued at s1,oo0. 0.ooo-Remarkab.e Career of Remarkable Man--cane Up Frcm Nothing.


 New York, Feb. 6.-The last rem nant of the old Morgan iron works. all that remains of the great John Roach shipbuitding plant. 3ill be disposed of in a few days, the heirs having de- cided 10 dispose of the property at auction. It was at the Morgan iron works that all of the engines for the ships built at the shipyards at Chester were made.
 These Yoks originally covered. two blocks. valued at about sl,000,000. ex- elusive of the machinery in the old buildings. The property has been subdiviGed into building lcss. and all but seventy of them have beeh sold.
 Everything. down to the old office furniture. ill be sold by the executors of the estate.
 To those who knew <he founder, the fact Of the forthcoming sale brings up many memories of his eventful life.
 He came to America at the age of 1e, absolutely friendless and practic- ally without funds Unable to find work in New York city. he went to southern New Jersey and was hired by James P. Allaire, who ran an iron furnace. His pay was S7 a month and board. The first year he saved $50. and with this he bought the right to learn a certain kind of work which was done in the Allaire works
 Tn three years he had saved s1,500, which he left in Allaire's hands, and went west to buy ircn land. Allaire failed, and young Roach was ruined. He worked his way back 10 New York on railroads and canals, and again went 70 work for Allaire at S1 a day He married and. saved s100. which he

 Government favors fell fast at his door until William C.. Whitney be- came secretary of the navy. Just as the first Cleveland administra ton came in, Roach was finishing the Dol phin as dispatch boat He tried to complete her before Mir Whitney took office. but could not After she broke her shaft on trial trip Roach's trou- bles began. He always maintained that he had advised against a steel shaft for her, but the United States attorney general held that he must pay back all the money he had re- ceived. s;
 Roach immediately assigned to George E. Wood. who had worked from boyhocd in the Morgan iron works, and to George w. Quintard, who married MT. Morgan's daughter. They were Roach's bondsmen. They ran the works until after Roach's fieat1i when they reverted, to the Roach heirs.
 It Is these heirs who want to sell the remains of the plant.

before finding the lead, which a little more energy would have uncovered. So far. all the claims of known value are owned by Clifton people. though Steve Corley of Silver City has a group of nine claims just a mile east of where the original discovery was made. Ashton and Roach located a number of claims in the district sev- eral years ago, but allowed them to lapse. and they have since been To- cated.
 The Mayficwer and Carlisle mineral districts include the same mineral belt. and it can reasonably be ex- pected that development and working of property on the former will have a favorable reaction and draw attention to the wonderful deposits in and around Carlisle.

Claims Danger on
 The High Road
CORRESPONDENT ON HIS OWN, AND ON BEHALF OF OTHERS, TELLS OF ACCIDENTS WHICH CALLS FOR
 ATTENTION AT
 ONCE.
Bisbee. Ariz.. Feb, 6, 1904

Bisbee. Ariz.. Feb, s, 1904. Editor Review:
 desire to call your attention to the dangerous condi ion of what is called the High Read. running behind Alderman Hunts house. and 70 the fact Of several accidents that have oc- cured there in the last few days. The butcher cart of Tcvrea & Co. was wrecked and rolled into one of the residents yard below the road. and James Tenby's horse and buggy went over in like manner. Last Sunday my horse and buggy went of the road and rolled into our neighbor's yard. completely demolishfng the buggy and slightly iniuring the Horse. But this damage to horse and rigs Is net all to be considered. The narrow escapes that families have had from horses and buggies rolling down against these peoples houses. knocking oa- bies out of their high chairs. and krocking everything of. the shelves. smashing dishes and doing consider able damage to their houses and per sonal property.
 Now. if you will kindly take this matter into consideration and publish the facts of the danger of this road. it might be the means of the City Council taking some action on their part to protect the peoples property. and perhaps cave the loss Of innocent children's lives that can not get out of the way when these accidents oc- cur, which will undoubtedly continue II something is not done to that road at once. As here has been a contin- ual complaint all around the neigh borhood of the said road. but no one has taken any action or steps toward getting anything done to prevent these continual weeks, it is by request of them that | take these steps. hoping that it will be the means of accom- plishing the desired effect, through the columns of your paper.
 Heleye me. yours sincerely.
 ALBERT L. GRIFFITHS
 MT. Griffiths is one of the pronrie. tors of the Bisbee Mercantile Store and If his complaint is well founded the Council should take immediate steps to remedy the matter. otherwise injury will result and consequent car. age suits.

Odd Fellows Big Night.

The Fncampment of Odd Fellows of Bisbee had a heavy night of it last night They were putting through twenty-four candidates for the en- campment degrees. A large number of members and novices were up from Douglas. Among these were Alfred Ferguson. M. Jewell. Stevor Rob n: son, Mat Armstrong, Gus Brown, B. Neff, H. H. Johnson. P. J. Demsrist, Ernest Hill, W. H. Finley, J. P. Fin ley, J. P. Kelley, Avery Curry, Allie Craven, Fa-l Davis, A. J. s. Shrop- shire, Albert E. Ihrig, Frank Shahan, W. c. Mcdonald and Henry Baum faulk. An intermission was taken during the work, when the l'dge and visitors repaired to the Alhambra, where forty-fve plates awaited them, and a fine lunche was served, after which they returned to the lodge room and ro6e the goat till the poor whisk- cred animal was done up. J. H. Jack, the head of the order in this city, was the presiding officer.

 The building was designed by F. E. Johnson, as previously stated. The contracting work was carried out by Sparks Brothers, and ali is finished in the highest class of workmanship. Much credit is due to Messrs Orc, Berrato and Muheim for their civic pride in giving to the city, as well as to the societies of this city, the hand some structure which twill be occu- pied as soon as the furniture arrives now. The piano is already bought, and will also be installed with the furniture. o. K. street. on which the Castle is built, is to be improved by grading, and will be one of the best thoroughfares in the city when done. It is likely that the opening of the Pythian Castle will be one of the grandest fraternal events that ever took place in Arizona.
 Instead of the cumbersome and heavy balustrades usual in buildings of this character, there is a neat scroll-shaped rail. adding much to the appearance of the place.
 At the head of the stairs turn is made to the left, and there is first To cated the ladies' lavatory, and it is a i model of the kind. The toilet basin cost $125 in Chicago, and all of the wood work is in quartered oak. 4 French plate mirror will reflect the beauty therein. Turning to the right from the stairs, you enter the recep ton room in which will be a reading table and six upholstered chairs. Next
 to this is the banquet room, which is 24x24, and will seat comfortably fifty

KANSAS PARTY HERE.
Prominent Gentlemen Now Inspecting
 interests in Mexico.


 Messrs. Wood and George, accom- panied by other prominent gentle men from Kansas, left Bisbee yester- day morning for Cananea, from whence they go today to the noun tains some twenty-five miles distant from that city, for the purpose of in- vestigaiing conditions concerning a large amount of valuable mining property located there. The party have been spending the past few days in Bisbee. They are quite enthusias- tic regarding the future of their pros pects, which are being developed un- der the name of the Alsacia Mining ard Development company.
 R. H. Wren and Ed Moore, both of Bisbee, are president and general manager, respectively, of the compa- ny. Concerning the property and the company the following statement was made by one of the Kansas party while in this city:
 This property has been reported upon by the best practical mining en- gineers of the West, among others, and the least, Mir. Casey of Cananea. and MT. John Herman, of Bisbee. We are not selling cur stock on the market at the present time. Just how soon a reduction plant will be in order will depend largely on the pro gress of mining operations"

 The first floor is for two. store Fo0mE. each 24x50 feet. These are sell lighted with large plate glass yindows, and have double floors, and ceilings 16 feet in height. One of these store rooms has already been rented, on a lease of two years, and chile the figures are not publicly an- uounced, the rental is one that sug- sests the value of Bisbee property. A number of applications are in for the ether.

The system of ventilation is perfect. Four cold air ventilators in sde floor regulated by registers adr init the cold and fresh air. while eight sn the walls near the ceiling and two in the ceiling itself carry off the foul sdr, thereby making it in summer cool and pleasant, and in winter the heat is regulated in the same way. The nuIlding is heated by steam. The furniture and fixtures of the lodge and adjoining rooms will be as handsome as were ever brought into the Terri tory. Mir. Ord has just returned from a trip to Chicago and Gand Rapids, where he selected all of the furniture, carpets and necessary finishing touch ss tn this beautiful hall. Two hundred and twenty yards of carpet are requir- d to cover the hall, and this will be covered with a canvas when used for dancing or other social occasions.

 eight eide brackets will furnish the dght for the lodge room. The former .uill have twelve lights in each. and U1n brilliantly iilumine the hall. The room is finished in white cedar, high.

Advices from the Calumet & Cochise are to the effect that the shaft is pen etrating an encouraging formation. which is heavily charged with iron. Sinking is progressing rapidly. and it is now down to a depth of nearly 1000 feet. 1t is expected that the diamond drill will arrive at the property shortly and it will be place5 in commission immediately.

FOREIGN COPPER STATISTICS.

James LeWlS G sons, of Liverpool In their annual review of the copper market for 1903, say:
 "Our statistics of consumption for the year show an increase in the United States of 2.700 tons. and in Germany of about 7,500 tons, but decrease in England of r TAO tons. and in France of .107 tons. The exports of manufactured copper tchiefiy to In6ia) and of sulphate have increased 6,139 tons. There is. however, little doubt that the actual consumption in England has not fallen of, but on the contrary has increased. the above ap- parent decrease being due to the great ly reduced stocks held by smelters and manufacturers. Much more cop per has been used for electrical pur- poses; an increased quantity of suL phate has been used in Ireland. r-,e
 We may look for an increase of from 15.000 to 25,0G0 tons in the United States, and for scme increase from Canada. Australia and Spain. Some shipments will probably be made from Rhodesia, but it will be some time before the large discoveries ofa copper in Central Africa can be ex- ported to any great extent Should war break out between Japan and Russia. the exports from the former country-about 20,0O0 tons per annum will probably be much curtailed. Consumption during 1904 Is expected to fall of in the United States, but in England, France and Germany a con- siderable increase is probable in con- nection with the. development of cleo tric traffic, especially on existing rail roads and motive power. India is so prosperous that she will probably take more copper in 1904 than in 1903. and the quantity of sulphate of copper re- nuired fer export and home consump- ton is likely to be larger than last year.
 The future Kalues mainly de- pends upon the quantity of copper available for shipment from the United States to Europe. An increase of fully 25,000 tons over the quantity sent in the past year will probably be required to maintain stocks even at their present low level, assuming that there is no increase in the European consumption and that there is no de crease in the supplies to Europe from Japan and other countries. The very small quantity of standard copper in the public stocks available for specula- uve purposes-not much more than 1000 tons-lays the market open to easy manipulation, and makes bear sales very dangerous"
