After being delayed in the east by
different matters for several months
after they had intended coming to the
Warren District to hold a directors
meeting, the prominent men connect

DeEn-Arizona mining companies ar
rived here yesterday. Thomas Bar

were Joined last evening by A. Guthrie,
who came directly from Spokane.
When seen last evening and asked

| to the meeting, Mr.. Bardon said:
II think it would be much better

no opportunity to get together yet, Nand
have not arrived at any conclusions
as to what win be done. You can say

dend payers we think the course to
pursue is to build q smelterN Whether
we will decide to build at once l can

S5pends on the financial situation"

II was under Mr.. Williams direction
that the Copper Queen mines were
developed from mere prospects to al
most their present magnitude.
When asked concerning conditions
in Los Angeles, where he is director
in the Broadway Bank & Trust Com
pany, and how that section had been
affected by the slump, he said:
Although OF course, policy of re

At a meeting OF the members OF
Company No. Of the Bisbee Fire De
partment Monday night, nominations
were made for officers, with the Iol-
lowing result: Jimmy Nichols. cap
tain; Fred Mace, lieutenant; George
Mari, secretary. There was no oppo-
sitson to arr of the nominations. so 1t

The members of Company No.
viii hold a similar meeting on the 26th
instant, at which time fire chief Will
be selected for the new year.No names
have been mentioned for the office,
so far as can be learned.
The fire department has planned an
other ball, the date of which is set for
Christmas eve. Owing to number OF
interfering circumstances, the ball
which was to have been given on
Thanksgiving was abandoned. This
will be the second of a series Of balls
which the fire boys have planned in
order to raise money for the building

Odd in title, and fully as unique ~

is "Raffles, the Amateur Cracksman,
No play in New York last season at
tracted as much attention as this one.
Il was given at the Princess and Se-
voy theatres 200 times and was the
only drama of the year to pass the
double century mark in the metropolis.
"Raffles," as is generally known, is
a fascinating study in criminology,
based on z. W. Hornung's exciting
series of sketches published in two
volumes under the titles of "Raffles'
and The Amateur Craftsman" 1t Is
play that strongly brings out the

CHRISTMAS GIFTS
WEIGH DOWN MAILS
Clerical Force of Local Post
Office Obliged TO Work
Evenings To Keep Up.

During the past couple of weeks
the city has taken on an air of Christ
mas time, as is evidenced in the var.
iouS business houses where gifts of
every description have been placed
on display. The children have already
begun to talk OF Santa Claus and to
write notes to the Grand Old Man in.
forming him of just what they want.
The postoffice has also begun to leel
the approach of this most popular day
and the daily outgoing mails are much
heavier than usual.
Throughout the city the various
business houses have placed the holt
day wares on sale, and the stores are
crowded with people eager to pur-
chase and ship gifts to relatives liv-
ing in other portions OF the country
An idea of the cosmopolitan char
acter of Bisbee's population can be
secured from the numerous postal
packages which are being sent through
the mails daily. Not only are pres
ents being sent to every state in the
union, to Mexico, and to Canada, but
TO several European countries.
The department regulation requiring
the weighing of all mail matter which
has been in force for several months
past, is still operative. so that it VIII
be possible this year to gain an accur-
rate idea of the amount of Christmas
gifts sent out from the district
Owing to the big rush of the mat
ter to all parts of the country the
clerical force of the postiffice is
working every evening in order 20
keep the mails moving on schedule
time. The work would be greatly
hghtened IL there were not such a
rush to mail matter during the com
ing few days, which precede Christ
mas.
