 Several. who learned yesterday that the deal had been closed, expressed surprise at the figure paid by Ander, son & Gull, it being generally thought that from s2e70O0 to S25,000. would have been a fair price for their pur- chase -.
 In addition to the Johnson block. which has five large store rooms be- low and a large rooming-house up stairs Anderson & Gull get an undivid- ed half interest in the ground or which the building stands. It was patented several years ago by Pete Johnson. They also acquire half ln- terest in four buildings and ground that stand just across the street.
 Peter Johnson, after whom the property is named, retains the other
 
 the structure several years ago, Nor ten owning one-half. This was nos generally known until recently, it be- ing supposed that Johnson was the sole owner of the property.
 Andersen & Gull have been in the building for the past four years. A few months ago they branched into the hardware business, taking the large store room, which adjoins the grocery department.
 Asked yesterday if they contemplat. ed any changes, the new owners stat ed that they do not. We have con. fidence in. Bisbee. and believe in it's future If 1t can be bought at a req. sonable figure no one will make ms. take by investing in Bisbee property. vas the way MT. Anderson put it. Hr Gull expressed himself in the same manner.
 Norton's object in disDosing of his interest is part of his plan to sell all his property interests here, it being his intention to leave shortly for Maine, which State he will make his future home It is said that just be fore he closed with Anderson & Gull and while they had an option.

Mrs. John Sullivan Paints After Telling Story of 'FriSCo's
 Horror.
FEARED SHE MIGHT
 NOT PULL THROUGH
Home Came Tumbling Down Upon Her While She Was Asleep With Husband and Child - Got First Decent Meal Yesterday.

Nervous from the terrible scenes through which she passed, and over taxing her strength by recounting ttem 10 a friend, Mrs. John Sullivan who arrived here in the morning from San Francisco. fainted yesterday af ternoon and for half an hour it was feared that she would not recover consciousness.
 Mrs. Sullivan, with her husband and little son, reached the city as refugees She secured rooms at the Victor house, and about ? o'clock she mar rated some of the things she had wit messed. Leaving the front room ir which she had been sitting to go Io her own apartments, Mrs. Sullivan tainted.
 For twenty minutes there was not even a sign of life, and those whC were rendering the stricken woman recover. In half an hour she came to, but was unable to leave hel ped for the remainder of the day.
 So vivid was Mrs. Sullivan's recol lection of what she had seen tnat while she related some Of the more striking incidents to her friend, she grew pale and a pained expression gave way to the peace that came to il .yhen she reached Bisbee earlier ir the day and found a place of rest.
 Speaking before she tainted, Mrs Sullivan said that with her husband and little child she was asleep in San Francisco on the morning of the earth quake The house in which they lived came tumbling down over their heads.
 That all three of th em were not in stantly killed is considered nothing short of miraculous. Before the de vastating fire reacheI their shattered home the SulIivans were able to re cover some of their clothes and few of their effects.
 There was no time to search through the fallen house for articles of value. only such things being taken as could be readily reached and taken out in a short time. With these res cued goods in their hands they tramp ed across the city to the Oakland ferry. s.-.........
 Mrs. Sullivan states that while everything possible was done by the relief committees, the first decent meal she has had since the earth quake was yesterday morning when she reached Bisbee.
 Though born and raised in San Francisco, Mrs. Sullivan says that she never wants to return to that city so great was her distress following the recent disaster. Mir. Sullivan nas obtained employment in the mines here. and the couple win make theil future home in Bisbee.
 Mrs. Sullivan's story of distress and despair in the stricken city is a ran sample of what thousands Of otne' families have gone through since tnS holocaust of April IS.

MEET AT DAWSON
General Manager Douglas Goes
 Through to Consult With Father. "
WILL LOOK OVER
 COAL FIELDS THERE

Leaving Mrs. Douglas in Santa Bar Eara. Cal. where she will remain foi part Of the summer. General Mana ger Walter Douglas passed througl BiSbea yesterday on his way to Daw son \. NJ. where he will meet Prof James Douglas today, and after :: short conference with him return tc Bis5ce.
 Professo: Douglas passed through Osborne Monday night on his way from Cananea to Dawson. In the former place he spent a short time looking after Phelps-DOdge interests in that section. It is stated that he will continue on east from Dawson. Large and important coal beds are owned by the Phelps-Dodge company near Dawson. and it is possible that the meeting there at this time of Pro lessor Douglas and General Manager Douglas hsj some significance in that line. ID
 These coal beds were acquired by the company several months ago for the purpose of exploitation. Dawson is reached by branch of the Fl Paso and Southwestern Railroad that leaves the main line at TucunIcari Between the latter point and Santa Rosa there is a gap in the Fl Paso & Southwestern that Is now leased by that road. -..
 That the visit of these two officials of the Phelps-Dodge company may have something to do with this short piece of road, which is in reality a part of the Rock Island system, was yesterday intimated as being among the possibilities.
 Asked if this trip was one which might result in important develop ments of any character. General Man ager Douglas stated that it is notnipg more than one of the many trips that are taken by officials of the road fYi the purpose of inspection and to keep in touch with what is going on.
 Dr. Shine accompanied MT. Douglas as far as Alamogordo. where he goes To look after matters in the Fl Paso 6 Southwestern hospital at that place. He will return with him in few days. It is stated that no changes are con tenlplared in the 'Aiamogordo hospital.
