An improved and increased fire de pertinent for Bisbee is an assured fact as result of the work which in being done by Aldermen L. R. Al len and M Neuman and others.
 About $3500 has already been pledged to Messrs. Allen and Neu- man with $500 more in sight and a considerable sum has been promised to other working committees, so that the total amount which will be rais- ed for the equipment of the depart ment will probably be something like s6000, AS soon as the money is all subscribed, steps will be immediately taken to purchase equipment and to otherwise improve the service.
 Amosg the additions which 1t is expected will be made to the fire de paf. aleat are hose wagon, 8 hook and ladder wagon and three horses. It is the intention, also, to put at least three paid men on duty and to arrange to have several of the volun- teermen sleep at the station 80 there may always be sufficient force there to take the apparatus out prop erly in case of emergencies. Small sums will be paid to such volunteer men as can thus devote a portion of their time to the department.
 Aside from the direct protection oi property which will result from the improvement of the department, it is expected that a reduction in the insur ance rates will also follow. This mat ter will be taken up with the under. writers as soon as ehe equipments are completed and 1t is believed that

CAVE-|N OCCURS WITH SERIOUS
 RESULTS
Two Men Are Hurt by Cave-in at Stope Seventy-fiye of the Copper Queen Mine Last Night,

A big cave-in occurred in the Cop per Queen mine last night about 10 o'clock in stope 75, between the third and fourth levels.
 The ground had been giving away ali of the afternoon, and realizing the great danger to the miners in trying to keep them at work in the treach- erous ground. Night Foreman Ernest Hughes had all the miners removed from the shifting sets that threatened to crush together at any time.
 The five miners who vacated the stope had just reached the drift when the stope came crashing in with a terrific roar and knocked all of the men in the drift to the floor by the concussion.
 Tons of earth were dislodged by the cave-in and it is very much donoted by the men in charge whether or not the stope can be saved.
 Ernest Hughes was thrown against the side of the drift by the rush of air and severely bruised, and John Sand erson. a miner, had his right leg broken and the kneecap torn off
 The injured men were taken to the surface and sent to the hospital, where their injuries were dressed and they were made as comfortable as possible.

GREAT COUNCIL OF RED MEN
 IN B|SBEE
Fourth Annual Session of the Council in Arizona Resepa- tion Being Held Today with a Good Attendance.

The Great Council of the Red Men of the Territory is in full swing in Bisbee today, and for the next two days they will hold their pow-wows discussing many matters.
 With many grunts of satisfaction the members of the various tribes have shaken hands, smoked the pipe of peace together and now they have settled down to consider the business which concerns their mutual inter- ests. The Great Council convened yesterday morning at 10 o'clock in Pythian Castle.
 Nothing of importance was done during the forenoon except to effect an organization, and in the afternoon the discussion of the proposed con- stitution and bylaws was the princi pal feature. This was one of the most important events, perhaps which will come before the council as there has heretofore been no con. stitution for Arizona the order work. ing under the constitution of the state of Indiana. The matter of adopting a constitution was discussed at length and the proposition was finally adopted, so the Red Men of Arizona will henceforth work under a constitution of their own.
 A large number of delegates and visitors from all over the territory are here and others are expected to arrive today.
 A meeting of the local tribe was held last night at which about two hundred, including visitors and mem bers, were present. After the meet ing everybody went into the iris the ater, whre they had the performance for the evening chartered, and all had a good time.
 Among the visitors in the city from other places attending the Great Council are Hon. Wiley E. Jones, oi Clifton. Grand Junior Sagamore of the United States; Griggs, of Hous ton; J. B. Turner, of McCabe, Nat Hawkins, of Prescott, James O'Brien of McCabe; Felix Levy. Fred Wilding F. A. Richmond and J. D. Dufton oi Tucson: Charles Chesterfield and A H.

DEATH ANGEL HAS CALLED DAN
 HAWKINS
Well Known Citizen of Bisbee Passes Away After Years of Patient Suffering-He Had Many Friends.

Daniel Hankins. one of the oldest residents of the Warren district, died yesterday afternoon at the family home on Opera Drive, after finger ing illness that confined him to his room for over five months.
 Mir. Hankins was born fifty-three years ago in Jersey City, N. J., and was the youngest of family of elev- en boys. He attended the public schools of his native city and after attaining his majority went to Mich igan, where he worked in the mines for several years.
 He was married in Michigan and immediately after removed to New Mexico, where he lived for three years before coming to Bisbee ill Feb ruary, 1884.
 He worked in the mines here as timberman for several years until injured by falling into an ore chute and crippling himself so seriously that he never fully recovered the use of his limbs and was compelled to use an invalid's chair for nearly fifteen years.
 After partially recovering from his injuries he conducted store on Main street which was the headquarters for all the miners and cattlemen of this part of the territory.
 He retired from business about three years ago and until his death lived quietly with his family occa-' sionally making trips into the conn., try to his mining claims. which he was developing at the time of his death.
 During his residence in the War ren district he amassed a large for tune which enabled him to educate his children who are employed in the city.
 He leaves a wife and several chill dren to mourn his loss. The funeral will take place this afternoon at 3 o'clock from the Catholic church, and the fnterment will be in Evergreen cemetery.
 All the members of the A. O. U. w. are requested to attend the funeral services at the church and accom- pany the cortege to the cemetery.

MAYOR GETS LETTER
 ABOUT MISSING MAN
Another Man Comes West and Friends Grow Anxious
 About Him.

4 lstter was received as the may cr's office yesterday from John J. Me Andrew, of Scranton. Pa, asking whether a man by the name of James McAndrew lives in BisDee.
 Acting Mayor Hughes began an ii;. vestigation in order to satisfy the writer of the letter, and a diligent search failed to find any such man in Bisbee, or anyone who knows any thing of him. No statement was made by the writer further than the mere inquiry, but such inquiries in the southwest are frequent because of the fact that a great many men in the east come to this section and drift ing about from place to place for while, cease writing home through carelessness or for some other req son and friends becoming uneasy about them. write letters to the prin- cipal cities asking about them. Usu- ally such men finally turn up in course of time safe and sound though sometimes they meet death among strangers and if penniless they fill unmarked graves.
