9iSbee Destined
 TO BE CENTER
 of Operations
NOT. ONLY FOR WARREN DIS
 TRIcT, BUT ALSO SONORA.
Prominent Traveller Says He Expects to See This City Occupying Even Higher Standing, as Base of Sup plies for Big Territory, as Is Now Being Enjoyed by Fl Paso.

'The investment of American cap ftal in the mines of Sonora and in other industries in this Mexican state Is assuming such large proportions as fo attract more than passing notice" said a prominent traveller who spent yesterday in this city, and in this movement see a great future in etore for Bisbee, aside from what the grand scale in which mining will be carried out in the Warren district, will mean for the place.
 Let me tell you, Bisbee is destined to become a big center. just as surely es some of the mines in this vicinity gre going to astonish the world in the way of production of copper. The time is not far hence when the mines now being developed in Sonora will be wanting vast amounts of machinery and supplies, and here is the most likely point from which distribution Till be made American machinery is bound to be used at these mines, and Americans are going to supply this machinery from an American city winch is advantageously located.
 "Bisbee offers the advantages that are looked for in a city to be made the central basis of supplies for any (erritory. The city is bound to soon have additional railroad facilities, and fhis will aod to its advantage as a place from which to send out ship gnents Of all sorts Of supplies to min ing camps. And besides, here is where capitalists and mining investors have been in the habit of congregating for the purpose of -consummating biz deals in this line, whether they have pertained to the development of min Or northern Scnora- The city will, therefore, always be the natural meet tng place of all mining men, and all that is necessary to make it a big cen Ger is the establishment by influential Iaen of irms whose exclusive business IL will be to furnish mining camps with what is necessary in the opera tjca of mines.
 sonora is bound to come forward as mining state, anG there will be some of the biggest mines opened up in the northern part of that territory before hong. The past several years has seen a great invasion of northern Sonora by American capital, miners, methods and machinery. The result Is that old, time-honored ideas and customs are giving place to modern methods and enterprise. Mexico, Enough nearly AGO years old, is still fertile in resources of many kinds, and One opportunities for those with cap ttal, energy and enterprise are consid- erable. This fact is being more fully appreciated by our miners and Moneyed men.
 They will soon be invading the country, especially the state of Sonora, ss never before, and the development cf the state will mean much to south crn Arizona cities, more particularly fhe city of Bisbee than any other, as she is located at a favorable point and al eady has prestige that will be xery difficult for any of her competi- tors to overcome. I confidently be Geve that the next six or seven years gill see Bisbee the size of Fl Paso and cne oI the most lively centers to be found in the southwest The skep fical will say that the. city has nc chance to expand, on account of its peculiar location, but you will see that loom for expansion will be made some bow, and while the place will probably not be the most beautifully arranged as to streets, etc, it will transact the Gig bulk of business in the southwest ern mining district, and command at fention from all parts of the mining world"
