week, on what ought to be good au- thority,, that the South Bisbee addi- tion that was talked about so much last fall as the G. & A. townsite pur- chase will be put on the market, It comprises 2400 acres of well located ground and for the people whose em ployment is located in that direction it will undoubtedly hold much in the way of attractiveness.

 There has been some expression of opinion in this regard as to the ef- feet such an addition will have upon Bisbee proper. This talk is mostly relative to the business center of the town. which some are inclined to be- lieve will be switchd into Lowell. Very flew, however. entertain any such radi- cal notions. The most conservative business people of the town are in clined to the belief that the center of the business portion of the town will remain right where it is and that it will be built up with big substantial buildings.
 Those who talk Lowell figure on big c. & A. store down there at some future time and the building up around it of c. & A. town that will pull much of present Bisbee down that way. This is hardly a reasonable lview to take for there is reason to ex- pect that the increas in mine work CTS and output is going to increase enormously year by year for many years to come in the Bisbee camp. 1 In this light there will be plenty of opportunities for a continuous town stretching from the head of Tomb stone canyon way down below Low | eli. with the business center extend ed down Naco road probably but the heart of the town remaining in it's old place At any rate there is no room for immediate worry about this matter

nishings of the room. On either side of the dining room is hall, the one on the south extending the full length of the building. Across the southern hall are three rooms on the ground floor used as office rooms. The other hall leads to the stairs and will be fitted up with conyeniences for table boarders who room elsewnere.
 The most charming feature of the second floor is the wide veranda ex- tending the whole width of the build 1 ing and promising most happy sum- mer vista. On this floor there are also two halls, separating the different rooms of which there are eighteen Tor regular roomers and several others will we used for transient trade. The rooms which average about 12x12 in size, are light and are tastily furn- iised. The whole building is especial lily well ventilated and is lighted by electricity.
 In connection with the rooms on the second floor is bathroom, with hot and cold water at all times for the use of the guests, free of charge
 While the majority of her trade will be regular in character, Mrs. Smith lstates that she will cater to transient trade also.
 Realizing the difficulty in being able to keep such help as she needs, Mrs. Smith has been especially careful in attempting to secure competent en- Dloyes, some of whom were secured at distant points at great expense. She states that she will at no time spare either time or expense in securing or keeping desirable help, and she prom ises the public the best service pos sible. The entire service of the house will at all times come under the personal supervision of Mrs. Smith. It is thus reasonably certain that Hotel Royal, though new, has begun business quite auspiciously and will soon command it's share of trade I of this city.

 MT. Givens has returned to Las Ve- gas but expects to come back to Bis bee about April. Before leaving town he said, in response to inquiries as to what he thought of the city and as to whether he had other invest ments in view, that his opinion cor body else "Bisbee is unquestionably at the beginning of an era of very great prosperity and growth. I do not believe that, great as are your mines, you have made more than a beginning.

 Ben Anderson last week sold through J. E. Thompson his cottage in upper Lowell. Mrs. Mae Walker was the purchaser.
 H. E. Harbinson on Thursday pur- chased the MoHtcliffe dwelling at Lowell. He will remodel the house and add four rooms for lodging pur- poses.
 Harry Sanderson nas commenced erection of neat four room cottage in Upper Tombstone canyon.
 MT. Patton has well underway a new four-rom cottage on Mason hill, facing Tombstone canyon. It will be very neat structure when completed.
 Survey was made during the week for the frontage of the Muheim prop erty facing Brewery. This is prepara- tory to betterments it is said Mir. Mu- helm will make to his properties there, the survey being made to es- . tablish lines so that encroachment may not be made upon the street.
 e e
 J. J. Muheim will commence cree ton of new building on Brewery be fore the close of the month. He has not yet fully decided as to the plans flor the latter but it is said that they are likely to call for a modern two or three story brick block In that fevent it will take in the present sa' loon building site and cross over to the row of frame buildings on the other side of the passage way.

 1 O. q
 Two rev additions have been put on the market in the last two weeks under warranty deed conditions and there will doubtless be more to come. The additions that have come on are the J. E. T. and the Mason addition in Tombstone canyon, both affording some very desirable building lots, and both receiving much attention.
 e <. C
 Opening of these additions means the erection of a number of new houses. On the E. T. addition Mir. Thompson has already commenced the construction of twelve new cot tages. Lumber was delivered on the ground for these during the week and carpenters and foundation makers have since been at work. The cot tages will be of three and four rooms, modernly arranged and put up in good shape and style. Nearly all ot them have already been spoken for and will either be occupied by rent CTS or sold to buyers before they are finished.
 Further up Tombstone canyon there are likely to be couple more addi- tions soon. Indeed the trend is up Tombstone canyon. way up. where the air is good and elbow room available. Improvements making up that way tend to convince that it is going to be the very highly desirable residence portion of the city in the course of the next few years.
 About Upper Tombstone canyon it is said in it's favor it will never be the sewer dumping hole of the center of the city. It has the further ad- vantage of being above serious flood water and is still further endowed in the summer months with cool breezes which temper the heat at ali times and make existence up that way in July and August far from disagree able.

passage way Mr. Muheim reserved the right to bridge with an arch when he deeded the ground to the city some time ago. A building at this point IS thus possible of considerable front age.
 The Hagens seem to have plenty of appreciation for the possibilities for the investment of money profitably in good building structures in the city. They have just completed two ex- pensive mondern lodging house structures and are now arranging for ] the erection of another. Though the new building will not be actually from the ground up it will practically be so. 1t will be on the site of the present Blair lodging house and when finished will be entitled to the name of the Blair Hotel. The property as It stands is a one-story structure on Brewery. When remodeled it will be three story structure of attractive architectural design. The exterior will be of cement on steel lath and the interior will be finished in the strictly modern manner that prevails with the other Hagen buildings.
 | R. E. Wells has two new three room cottages under construction and ex- poets to put up two more as soon as those underway are finished.
 A Barnaby, of Kingston, NM, has been in this city and Douglas during the last week MT. Barnaby has a deal on for Bisbee property of importance and expects before returning to New Mexico to have some deeds in his pockets.
 The T. r. Hopkins place was sold this week through B. J. O'Reilly to II. P. Smith.
 The building at the cornor of Brew cry and Naco road occupied by the Bisbee Trading Co. is reported to have been sold during the week. As yet no details have been given out. Pat Whalen is arranging to put up a two-story adobe at Lowell. It will have frontage of 40 feet or more and will be an imposing structure. The architectural design will probably be after the Moorish style. The build ing will be for lodging house purposes Store rooms will probably be provid' ed on part of the first floor.

The above picture represents the building heretofore known as the "Ha- gan Block" now called the Royal" 1t is centrally located being situated on School Hill, facing the west and between the gymnasium and the Pres byterian church. The building is of the Mission style of architecture, fin- lshed in a superior class of plaster furnished by the Douglas Cast Stone Co. It is two stories in height, cost ing the owner, Daniel Hagan, of Los Angeles, in the neighborhood of s16,. 900.
 The hotel was built expressly for Mrs M. c. Smith, who formerly man. aged dining parlors. for two and one half years, with flattering success. on the present hotel site. which she va cated only during the process of erec- ton of the new building. Before coming to Bisbee, Mrs. Smith for sev- eral years had the management of one of the leading hotels of Los Angeles which had much prominence under her supervision.
 The hotel began business last Sun day morning with every room in the house taken, the majority of them having been promised two weeks in advance. In fact the demand for rooms was so great that regret was expressed that the original plans for the building did not call for four stor ies instead of two.
 The prominence and successful ven ture of the dining rooms, which are run in connection with the rooms may be surmised from the fact that after the dining parlors had been in commission only one week, Mrs Smith states that she is already ac commodating 120 daily.
 The dining room, which is 46x2S feet, has a glass front and faces on the street to the west. It has high ceilings and is unusually light and airy Tropical plants adorn the room and farther Improvements are promis ed with the completion of the fur

The view above expressed is that of B. J. O'Reilly. It finds echo from ey- cry real estate man in the city and endorsement from all who are in touch with the business life and in dustry of the town.
 Bisbee is unquestionably due to see activity in real estate and property values in the city during the next several months that will for time possibly put mining stock speculation in second place. In this connection it may be stated that Bisbee's min ing stocks represent as good invest ments of their kind as may be found in the country. Her real estate open ings are just as substantial
 During the week there has been Sev- eral important transfers made of Bis bee and Lowell properties to parties from Los Angeles and New Mexico. From the same quarters and from El Paso there will be much more money brought into Bisbee during the year. Fl Paso, particularly, is said to be keenly alive to the fact that bIsbee offers splendid opportunities for le gitimate investments.

 Los Angeles people are also com ing to understand that there is a

A good deal of money is going to be slipping away from Los Angeles during the year. too, if signs pointed by the papers of that city and by real estate writers of the west prove correct. Too many new addi- tions have been hitching onto the city lately and it looks like collapse.
 q C C
 In the matter of building additions Bisbee is open to much activity along that line without danger offering of the thing being at all overdone. Ex' tensions of that kind in the past. or any marked activity in that line at least. has been hampered greatly by the lack of a general understanding as to title and more or less confusion IS to the legal standing of the city government and it's powers of taxa ton. etc. The townsite patent and the new charter do away with the least ol the features that have beclouded the local situation in so far as investments n property have been affected.
