BOARD OF TRADE
 PROPOSED FOR CITY
WOULD BE FOR ADVANCEMENT ALONG CHAMBER OF CON-
 MERGE LINES.
Need for Comprehensive Exhibit From eisbee District at National Mining conoress Starts Agitation for Organ ization in the City.

A Board of Trade for the City of Bisbee, conducted along the lines lam iliar in Chamber of Commerce organl- cations. organized for the purpose ot advancing the best interests of the city. it's business and social life, and giving it .n the outside world the standing that it deserves as progress siye city, certain of becoming a greai one, is the subs stance of talk that has recently been indulged amoGg local business men, and which needs hut the taking of step to result in bring ing about the central organization Tor advancement that the city has so tar lacked.
 Inquiries which have been coming from the executive headquarters of the National Mining Congress and from Fl Paso, where the Congress meets this year, regarding the part Bisbee, with the greatest mine in the world, as is demonstrated by figures of pro duction printed in the mining section of this issue of the Review, will take in the exhibition of mineral produc- tion of the Southwest that is to be an important feature of the Congress, have given rise to the talk that is be- ing indulged regarding a board of trade.
 The likelihood is that unless some such organization of the business men and property owners of the city IS formed, and that at once. the opportun- ity to bring the great camp of Bisbee and it's wonderful mineral resources and production of bullion to the atten. tion of the mining men who Will be gathered from all parts of the world at the Congress will be, to a large ex- tent at least. neglected. In view of the proximity of the city in which the Congress is to be held, the opportuni- ty of presenting the worth of Bisbee IS made doubly valuable one. Undoubt- edly a representation of the merits of the district at the Congress would at tract a great deal of new interest and bring many of the mining men who at tend the Congress here for a visit be- fore their return to their homes. With q board of trade organization to re ceive these visitors, and others of note who throughout the year are coming 10 Bisbee, there would be double advant- age secured.
 Not only of material aid in advance ment of the district from the stand. point of mining interests out in ini. provement of its physical condition in way to invite the residence here Ci many of the wealthy people interested in local mines and who would prefer tc spend the winters here in homes of their own, away from the rigors of the northwest and the east if local condi uons would allow, would a Bisbee Board of Trade be able to do splendid service. With the well known vigoI of local people, who have rightly earn ed the reputation of doing things vel whenever they put thelr hands to 2 task, a Board of Trade organization would undoubtedly in short time ac complish a great deal.
 No steps have yet been taken in thu matter of bringing about an organiza tion, further than talk on the streets but there will doubtless be early ef fort to the end of securing member ship and arranging for the organiza tioE that the town is now without, oc cupying a position in that respect tha few other cities of the same size in thi country now hold, t being hard to fin, a vigorous, growing town that is no without it's chamberof commerce O board of trade. Without exception these towns all have records of pro gress to show that are confessedll largely due to organized efforts pu forth by their people, after getting to gether in chamber of commerce O board of trade organization.
