The City Council met in special ters of great interest to the city, it's progress and welfare were discussed.
 The first subject up for considera- ton was the application of M. New man to know the views of the council regarding arching over the subway. the arch extending from the rear of the present Fair store to new build ing to be erected by MT. Newman on the north side of the subway. Mr. Sutter, on behalf of NIT. Newman, stated that his client was desirious of commencing the erection of a large three-story building In the near flu. ture. He said he believed that the city and property in the city would be greatly benefited by the city taking over the subway and opening it up ss a street and had. as city attorney three years ago, so counseled the City Council as a measure of progress However, he believed that the ground belonged to the property owners abut ting on the subway and that they could legally arch over the subway and that MT. Newman intended to dc so unless the City Council sfgnified its intention to take over the subway and open it-np as a highway. MT. Sutsel further stated that so far: as the ex pense of maintaining the subway is concerned. that lhe taxpayers would have only an insignificant amount t. pay and this would be offs.S Jy money paid over by the value Of the improve ment to every citizen Of Bisbee.

INIERNAIlONAL COMPANY GETS
 FRANCHISE
Proposition Carries By Vote of 210 to 39-franchise Is Not Exclusive ve-Entails Benefits to the City.

Although the vote in the franchise election was comparatively small yes teraAy, the majority with which the proposition was carried was most GC cisive. The final vote resulted in 2l0 Tor the proposition and 3s against it.
 About two months ago the attorneys for the International Gas 6 Light Co. appeared before the city council and offered . franchise which they re- Quested the council to recommend to the taxpayers, and to ell for special election to determine the sentiment os the property holders of the city in re- gerd to the granting of the same.
 The council took the natter up a: once. and after going over the fran chise. referred 1t to the city attorney. who after making several caanses which were agreeable to the company attorneys, returned it to the council with his approval. The franchis., was recommended. but the company did not fulfill the law in regard to pub- the matter came up again, and the election was set for yesterday.
 Besides the element or competition. which the granting Of the franchise would necessarily introduce, the con- pany offered to furnish the city with 225 kilowatts per month for the public buildings free of charge. They offer ed to reduce the cost of lighting the streets and to furnish to all users of their light renewal of electric lamps free of charge. Besides these matters set forth, the International people did not ask for an exclusive franchise, be- cause under the one granted yesterday any other company can come into the city. and if the people see fit to grant 1t franchise, the new company can start doing business at once.
 Little interest was taken in the cleo tion yesterday, the whole vote being 250, as follows: First ward, S6 yes, 14 no; Second ward, 76 yes. Il no; Third ward, AS yes, 14 no. Total, PIC yes, 39 DO. .a Ex

IS CAUSED BY
 FIND
Oenn-Arizona Is the Topic of Conversation on the Streets, Cross-Cut Is Still in Ore, of Good Grade.

As consequence of the finding of
 ore in the Denn-Arizona, this property
 was the main topic of conversation
 on the streets yesterday. and specula- tion was rife as to the extent of tne
 ore body which had been encountered. The stock took on a jump of seven points on the strength of the news. and late last night orders for moIe
 stock were telegraphed to the eastern
 markets.
 When seen last evening and asked
 concerning the matter, Experiment.
 ent Pattison of the Denn-Arizona and Shattuck-Arizona, said: Up to tEe
 present time we have passed through i a little over twelve feet of ore, which
 varies in quality, seeming to become
 richer the deeper we go. The richest ; of the ore ran very high in its Der. centage of copper, but I think that it is safe to say that little less tnal g per cent is a good average. The
 full face of the drift is still in ore.
 and think that 1t is probable We have
 struck a body of considerable dinIen.
 sions. but of course this Is oniy su opinion, as we have not had time c. ycl tU AO any SApiOidtioh Woih sc bC | termine just what the size of the oody is.'
 The striking of ore in the Dem yIL dicates the confidence which has oGC1 placed in the properties on that side of the canyon, and has demonstrated
 that the ore bodies have not all been opened ID as yet.
 On the strength of the find in Denn | the stock of the American-Sagiraw took an upward jump of several poin,s and late in the evening was very hard to get.
 The general opinion expressed on
 the streets seems to be that all of ths properties in that vicinity contain ore
 bodies, and that the day Is not far of
 wheu Denn, American and Warren will | enter the class of producers.

would be decidedly detrimental to the progress of the city and step back ward for the City Council to permit the subway to be arched. He also said that, with all respect to Mir. Sut- ter, tha. other attorneys had expressed the opinion that the subway now was a public highway and could not be closed, and that he believed the city would be held responsible for damages arising from any accidents that might occur on tho subway. and he would be in favor of the city enjoining any attempt to arch over tie subway. and in favor of the city's taking 1t over if necessary; that If MT. Newman was permitted to arch it over. that all the other property owners had the same right to do so, and the result would be dark. filthy hole. unsightiy and a menace to the health of the city.
 Alderman Allen stated that he un- derstood 1t was MT. Newman's inten- tion, in the event that the subway was taken over by the city and thorough fare created, to erect handsome three-story building. with Hass store fronts, with additional space left for good six or eight foot cement walk in front for pedestrians; that if the council decides not to take over the subway Mir. Newman intends to arch over. Mr. Allen agreed with Mir. Nor ris on the desirability of keeping the subway open for the use of the public. and stated that he had been informed on good legal authority that the sub way Is public highway and subject to city liability.
 The matter was disposed of by Mir. Morris moving that the City Council meet next Wednesday evening, al
 which time a definite answer be given Mr. Newman, and that the abutting property owners and all others inter ested be invited to meet with the City Council next Monday evening to dis cuss the matter with a view to arriv ing at solution of the problem. City Engineer McNeisi: reported sur yeys for a concrete wall on Opera Drive adjoining the Brady property and was instructed to draw up specif

DOUGLAS BANK NOT ROBBED.
All Reports to That E ect Were un

DOUGLAS, Ariz. Dec. 12.-tSpecialD The wild and woozy report that the Bank of Douglas had been robbed dur ing the night was famed about by the earliest breeze of the morning In the restaurants, where a run on ham and" was in progress the robbery os the Bank of Douglas vas under cor siderstion and the same talk could be heard all over town. No one seemed to credit the report. yet Is was so per sistent and universal about town tha, it would not down.
 investigation proved that there was absolutely no foundation for the talk Vaults of the Bank of Douglas were still intact, and the losses of Douglas faro bank had not been exceptionally acute. If any at all And there was nc one who could furnish any clue to the starting point of the story. It was probably another case of the bayins of lone dog being magnified into the bowling of a pack of thousands ol wolves, but no one seems to know its origin.

 It is understood that certain of the citizens of Mohave county had ex. pressed themselves as not desiring a special election, believing that repre- sentation in the upper house of the legislature would not return benefits to the county commensurate with the extra expense of the special election. This mild protest could not be recognized, for the reason that the law is mandatory and states that an election shall be called in such a contingency. no, leaving the question optional with the people The governor therefore called the election for January 2, the call being 1 in part as follows:

conviction and fine of $500 and sixty
days at hard labor on the county
roads, as a penalty for advancing
money to parties to pay their poll tax.
The party convicted is alleged to have
offered to pay quite a number, and In
the case on trial It was proven that he
had advanced money to one man for
this purpose. There has been consid-
cradle bowling over the state, espec
tally where local option elections are
imminent, that the whiskey interests
have been paying large number of
poll taxes. This being the case, ana
with the example of Fort Worth be-
fore them, why not prove these viola
tons of the law and land a few of
them in Jail, which would soon break
up such practices. The law is very
plain on the subject and its rigid en-
forcement right now will stop such
practices for all time to come.-Cald-

ly plated wreaths of tulle and ostrich

beautifully embroidered and some of
them have the brims faced in silk of a
delicate pink, which throws a becom-
ing glow over the face where the pure
white would be too trying.
speak of these dainty head cover
ings thus early because. although they
win not be worn for some time yet,
no summer wardrobe will be complete
without one or more, and they must
be counted in the list of things to be
bought or made.
Among other white frocks may be
mentioned the white dimities, always
so lovely for house gowns and in
formal visiting. The white and col
ored ones are all made of a similar
pattern-frills edged with narrow lace.
and web lace for guimpe and sleeves.
Open threats and short sleeves. that
is elbow sleeves, are seen on the new
shirt waist suits. Very wide ribbons
are used as girdles. Some of these
are in oriental colors, some are Ores
den patterns. others have enormous
roses in red or pink, but all are sure
ly twelve inches wide.
To make these girdles properly they
should be shirred on a fitted lining
and laced up the back with narrow
ribbons drawn through little silk COW
cred rings.
Though chemisettes and under
sleeves were so much worn last year
they are to be very much in evidence
again, and not only in laces and en-
broideries, but soft sheer materials
to match the costume. For instance,
a brown cloth princesse dress has a
guimpe of brown silk muslin with I'M
of the same An olive |
green cloth home dress has neck and |
arms covered with olive green silk |
muslin.
For sleeves this season we are like I
ly to have without change the full top I
pun with band finish. This can be
worn quite short for dimiues and
lawns. but for cloth gown a nous
quetaire effect is given by adding a
lower part fitting the arm prettily and
ending at the wrist or in a point over
the hand

1T is SAFE TO WAGER.

It is safe to wager that no man
ever made a success in life who made
and kept up the business of fearing
that he would not succeed. The man
who committed suicide the other day
and gave love as a cause, called his
passion by the wrong name. Love
makes people want to live-not die
The rose that blooms the fairest and
lasts the longest is the one that gath
ers to its heart the sunshine and dew
rather than the frost and the storms
You have not lived in vain if to one
soul on earth you stand out as a rep
resentative OF the beautiful and true.
But you have done worse than live
in vain If through you the vision of
the beautiful and true becomes dim to
that soul. Most men imagine that
their one great need for highest sue
cess is money and "pull"-but higher
ideals and strict loyalty TO them is
their greatest need, and will do a
thousand times more for them. The
revelations of the present methods
of graft will result in reform-of
methods-not of grating. Thieves
are not reformed merely by being
caught.-Sherman Register
