WARREN WILL BE THROWN OPEN
 AT ONCE
Final Arrangements Have Been Completed Street Railway System Will Be Constructed by c. & A. Company.

The first official information in re- gard to the opening of the Warren townsite was received in the city yes terday afternoon in telegram from Col L. w. Powell, general manager of all the Cole interests in the west. The telegram follows:
 ''T'o The Bisbee Daily Reyiew-Ar- engagements have been completed which insure the construction of the street car line, sewer and water sys- tens for Warren at once. The town site will be thrown open immediately.
 tSigned) 'sL. W. POWELL"
 It has been known for some time pas that the final arrangements for the -- ming of the new townsite were beir ompieted in Duluth, and it was sta yesterday that the townsite will D- thrown open by October Is. . IT. s;reet ear line referred to in the tele. a-a of Col. Powell will connect Bisb with the Warren townsite, and when completed will be one of the Inee -eet railway systems in the .5.alIta States. Ali of the surveys for the road have been made with the ex- ception of the approach to Warren, and the engineering corps is working on that matter at the present time. The engineering corps has also been put to work to cross-section the plans, and as soon as this is finished the first rock will be blasted.
 The system will be modelled 2 the superb street railway facilities be- tween Los Angeles and suburbs, and will be equipped with large interurban cars. It will be standard gauge road, with the finest type of roadbed. The plans call for the completion of the system by the 1st of March. The railway is being built by corporation which is subsidiary to the C. x A. Mining company, but entirely separate from the Warren Realty and Develop ment company.
 The work Of laying out the Warren townsite, and solving every problem in connection with the undertaking was placed entirely in the hands of Col. Cleve W. Van Dyke, former lieutenant governor of the state of Minnesota, and one of the founders of the Nation al Municipal League. He is a man thoroughly versed in every detail nee essary to the construction of town on scientific principles, and Warren, when completed, will be a monument which will commemorate this fact.
 On account of the large number of employees in the mines who are living in rented houses it was decided some time ago to open a townsite where these men could have homes con structed at a reasonable price, and in- stead of paying rent for them, could pay so much a month toward buying the house in which they live, and thus finally own it. With this idea in view the townsite was started.
 It has been laid out very much in the same manner as the city of Wash ington, D. C., that is, on the radial plan. There is a hub 900 feet in diameter which forms the center of the city. and radiating from this hub in al. directions are thoroughfares no feet in width Cross streets intersect the main thoroughfares at regular 1n- tervais. and every street has a certain amount of space for the planting of grass. which will line the street with series of small plots, very much on the order of the backwards of sv2 sa- irgton- The maximum grade of any road in the city vii be five pc. Ger The purpose of making the streets as wide as they are is. that the chances for general conflagration are reduced to minimum, sd consequently low in surance rates are assured.
 Ore feature of the new town will be the septic disposal sewerage system. now endorsed by all authorities as the best in existence.
 Adeouate water and lighting sys- tens have also been planned and will be installed.
 On the whole the town of Warren when completed will be q model of excellence in town building. every de tail having been worked out according to scientific principles, and no ex- pense being spared so make the site of the most healthful in the United States
 The miners of the camp will have an opportunity to own their own homes and their children will have parks in
