CITIZENS OF TOMBSTONE BECOME ACTIVE.

The municipal contest in
 Tombstone has brought about an awakening that will result in good to the present and fu- ture of our greatness. There are two tickets in the field - a friendly contest, asit were which augurs that the future of the city is being kept in view and that as conditions warrant, modern methods and and up-to- date improvements will mark the rehabilitation of the camp. Tombstone promises to again be great mining camp, repeating its early record as a producer, if not eclipsing its former his tory. Realizing this fact, our citizens are desirous of keep. ing pace with the prosperity wagon, and with that end in view will choose a Mayor and set of Councilmen who will be alert to the public welfare The successful aspirants vii
 have cause to congratulate themselves upon the honol conferred. Those who fail O election will of course tak' their defeat good naturedly

 Huachuca Water

Mir. A. E. Davis, president of the Huachuca Water company, left yes. terday for New York City. where he goes on matters pertaining to the Pontiac, Oxford & Northern Railroad of which company Mir. Davis is the owner of the controlling interest. As soon as MT. Davis closes his business transactions in New York he will re. turn to Arizona and build for himself bungalow in the Huachuca noun tains and in the future expects to spend at least three months of each year there.
 Since Mir. Davis has acquired the ownership of the Huachuca Water company there has been a noted activity about the property-an i'm merse reservoir is being constructed in the mountains, the town reservoir is being put into shape to hold one million gallons of water, and the com pany has other improvements under way that. when formulated, will be of great benefit to Tombstone.
 Owing to the prevalence of typhoid fever in BisDee there have been sever- al calls on the company to furnish table water for Bisbee, and it is the intention of the Huachuca Water company to send their water by the carload into that city until such time az they extend their mains into the big copper camp.
 The company has for the last few months been having tests made to their water and experts pass on it as better carbonated water than the noted and much ad- vertised table waters. A bottling plant will either be established in Tombstone or Lewis Springs-a,I de- pending on the freight rates made by the E. P. & s. W. Railroad.

W. B. Kelly, editor of the Bisbee Review, was in Tombstone today as witness before the grand jury. Mir. Kelly's name had been forged to 8 check for the small sum of $3O, the culpiit evidently being a novice, for, had he been wise. he could have just as easily garnered $50,OOO.

I wish you to make diligent inquiry for such pe'son or persons, and should it happen that there is no voter in your precinct who is for joint statehood, please advise me of that fact, in o-der that I may take l 'uch other action as may be neces- ary to assure to the advocates of the !, 'ending statehood proposition an op- 'ortunity to watch the count in every recinct."

A prominent feature of the

A prominent feature of the mining season is the reopen ing activity and sale of silver lead producing mines. Cap ital left the West in 1893, when silver was deprived of coinage at the hints, but Col orado people showed they were made of the true stuff when they immediately began to de- velop gold mines, and capital began flirting with us again like a coy maiden seeking our good favors. Now it is com ing boldly out in the open and demanding recognition. Gold, silver, lead. zinc-all the minerals are moving up
 ward. and farming lands are sought after everywhere, while modern methods of irrigation are being exploited. And so we can all pull together with a will, with opportunities for all and special favors for none.- Denver Mining Reporter.

 will be required to complete the wor k Of turning the troublesome river back into its old channel, nevertheless the work has now progressed nearly far enough to insure its successful com- pletIon.
 The Tucson Citizen says that Colonel Randolph and his assistants have absolute confidence in ultimate snccess is shown by the fact that the Southern Pacific is exhibiting no worry although at points along the alton Sea the water is within a few feet of the track.
 Results of the work of the enpi- neers are already apparent for part of the Colorado's waters are now flowing through to the Gulf of Cali fornia, which is the natural outlet. Thousands of tons of rock have been dumped in the dam that is being built.
 With the outlet into Salton Sea cut of, it will be but a short time until the waters in the desert sea | and then Salton Sea will | be but a memory.

There Are Figures
 And More Figures

The Nogaies Oasis, in it's efforts to
 boom New Mexico at the expense of Arizona, states that in number of farms New Mexico exceeds Arizona ll2 per cent; in live stock, 1O6 per cent; in farm lands and buildings. 54 per cent; and in all values, 80 per cent. A statement like this is un- reasonable and ridiculous when the fact is generally known that ta. values in Arizona are $63,OOO,OOo and only s4s. 100000 in New Mexico. if New Mexico had 80 per cent more prop 'rty than Arizona, it certainly would ax it.

Atmospheric Poisoning.

From the Plttsburg Dispatch.
 The protests against the automobile om- nibuses of London have received a power- ful reinforcement by q declaration of Sir James Dewar on the chemical basis. He is undoubtedly among the high chemical authorities of the world, and his eondem- nation of the motor buses and freight vans seems conclusive unless invention provides innocuous motive power. q
 Sir James Dewar states that the com bustlon of petrol or gasoline in these mo- tors throws off vast quantities of noxious gases Some of these are absolutely poll sonous, and all injurious. He holds that the air of London Is bad enough already without the addition of carbonic acid gas, the sulphurous gases and, worst of all' the asphyxiating carbonic oxide More over, while he admits that science can improve motors, he declares that 1t is in- possible for it to burn petrol and render the resulting gases innocuous.

DYNAMO CAT.
Took Ride in Fly Wheel and Had Wild
 Adventure.

From the New York Times.
 MT. Harvey, the Times commuter, ab- sorbing the cable dispatches in his news paper, heard MT. Bolting. freight conduc- tor, tell Mr. Gryce, their newest travel ing companion, about two kittens that re- gently rode of their own volition more than 100 miles on the cowcatcher of a fast express train and had since been mascots of the division.
 Mir Gryce, clean cut and elderly, had previously related some spirited personal recollections of Little Round Top, the peach orchard and a stone fence on khe Emmettsburg road; also of the engine room work on the liner Louisiana when she made the New l ork-New Orleans rec ord.
 But" he sighed, "between having two families and eight of the IS children from both still at home and never being able to pass Sandy Hook without getting sea- sick, I quit the sea. Now I'm chief engi- neer of a downtown office buildQg."
 i've got cat that's wonder, too" he observed, after hearing about the cow catcher twins Mildred, his name is, af- ter a woman cousin of my second wife's. because he was a fighter since he was a kitten.
 That's why I took him down to the en- zine room to live. He sleeps under the dynamos Last Tuesday night he was in hurry to get across the engine room, and tried short cut through the fly wheel of one of the engines. He couldn' [ see the spoSes any more than you could.
 "I heard just one yowl and saw Mildred vanish in a gray mist. l had to start up the reserve engine at the other end of the line and throw the switches before l could shut down. I jumped, but 1t took me all of three minutes before I got back to Mildred's engine. By that time all I could see of Mildred was an annular white band just inside the rim of the wheel. He didn't look more'n three inches wide, and was getting narrower every second. As she slowed down. he just dropped out of that wheel by himself before I could lend him hand and walked across to the water cooler drip pan He took long drink of ice water and sat down to straghten out his fur
 And now" said Mr. Bolting. with some pique. 'I suppose he takes a whirl in the fiywheel every mornin to give i'm an appetite for breakfast
 "No' sir said Mir. Gryce. Ion the con- trary. whenever he goes between the door and the dynamos, he keeps the engine room wall q his shoulder"
 The scenery claimed the attention of MT. Gryce and MT. Bolting for the next twenty miles.
