is wholly devoted to one object, with
talent and perseverance, excellence will
be attained. DR.. Brewer has devoted

Greene in Better Health.

Parties in Cochise county who have
been with Colonel Greene at the lat
ter's COW camp where the Greene
Cattle company is receiving thous-
ands of head of Sonora cattle, state
that Colonel Greene is now in much
Better health than he was a few
weeks ago and is attending to busi-
ness with his usual vigOr.
AS to the future of the Chihuahua
enterprises of Greene they could not
give any information at this time as
Colonel Greene did not state his
plans. The properties of the Greene
gold and silver were just getting
opened up to the extent that they
showed that the ore bodies were of
great dimensions and that the values
were such that the mines would
eventually yield substantial profits
when it became necessary to shut
lown because of the lack of funds to
carry on the development work and
the installation of machinery. Col.
Greene put in S3.OO0,OOO of his per-
sonal money while several of the big
stockholders who were richer men
would not put up any money to help
the company along.

Promising LeadVilie Property Sold For
100000.

Another important mining deal is
reported from Leadville district
which would Indicate that the c. q A.
Company regard that promising
section as a veritable storehouse of
copper deposits.
1t is stated on reliable authority
that the G. Il \. through its manager,
Col. L. w. Powell, last week closed a
deal with the Leadville Mining Co. and
it's president Wm. Holmes. for two
mines of the Lead Vile group for the
sum of 5000, 900.
1t is said 10 per cent of the option
price was paid down, $40, 900 being
paid upon signing of the papers, the
remainder to be forthcoming at the
expiration of one year. The mines
are located between the Germania
and the Great Western group and
considered exceptionally valuable
ground.
The c & A. have explored much of
the ground in the Leadville district
and the fact that they are acquiring
more mineral territory is certainly a
good sign and means much for tn at
section.
The company will prosecute work on
their newly acquired group with char
acteristic energy.

Edwards Writes on Disease.

The following communication has
been received from w. Wyatt Ed
wards, dealing with tuberculosis and
ways and means of avoiding the
dread disease:
When the general public is well
acquainted with the causes of con-
sumption, the dread disease will
dlminish; yet it is essential the
causes be well published so all will
take warning.
ITO state the cause it may he well
to state reasons, 50 as to carry con-
victiou to readers, that they may
profit thereby.
"Close rooms, where coal oil is used
for lighting or fuel, is a primary
cause, because the light quickly
burns the life giving air, so much
needed by the occupant, and he or
she breathes over and over again the
foul air he has eXhaled. and the blood
becomes impure, the kidneys and
lungs weakened 10 such an extent de-
cay sets in in the lungs, and tubercle
is formed: then ption-death's
beginning-has set in for good. This
can be avoided by opening the
doors and windows that fresh air may
enter day and night. no matter how
cold it may be. Consumption is
seldom known among those who live
in open houses.
''Scrofulous taints in the blood is
another source of this dread disease.
~ cold Causes congestion-an eX-
cess of blood iii the lungs-if not
quickly removed, the result will be
fever, decay and decomposition.
Another source, as set forth by
DR.. Campbell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, is
that the union of certain teTpera-
ments produce compartments that
are more subject to consumption than
others, for instance, the tall, light
and the short, dark people are the
ones We sec the most, and as there
dre 50 many Of these two types, they
must he produced by the union of the
same temperaments all the time.
PLENTY OF fresh, dry air day and
night will benefit any case not too
far gone, and Will cure many.
Living as much as possible in the
open in a dry climate has cured many
severe colds, purified the blood, and
given health and strength to many"

One of the circus employees who
had just finished giving dispositions
before Justice Hinson Thomas in
their suit against the Norris & Rowe

joke on one of the Silver Belt repre-
sentatives. The paper needed

ing business, the present force being
at ines inadequate. One of the firm
conceived the idea that it might be
possible that a fairly good pressman
might be among the crew of wOrkless
men. 81 want a press feeder" he

Now l don't know where I'm at.
Everything is badly mixed:
Nothing certain, nothing fixed.
Bryan now has much to say:
Makes twenty speeches in a day.
No reason yet that l can learn
Why we should vote for Mr.. Kern.

Another chance he wants, of course.
Marks not made good, he never can;

The democrats want another term;
They are badly scared, just see them

He was not endorsed this time, you see
All the ticket getting knocks;
Half the voters throwing rocks.
Humbled is my party pride,
And what to do [ can't decide.

Douglas Gypsum Plant is Burned With
Total Loss.

The plant of the Arizona Gypsum
company near the Copper City
brewery at Douglas. was completely
destroyed by fire last week. The loss
is over $780, 200 with $4,000 insurance.
There was no chance of saving the
plant after the fire burst out. The
cause, it was reported, was from an
explosion of some sort from the oil
under the boilers. The workmen had
10 chance to fight the fire and had to
flee for their own safety.
A rather high wind was blowing
when the fire started, but the plant
is located at some distance from any
adjoining buildings, and the main
plant and a warehouse adjoining were
all that were burned. The office did
not catch, and though precautions
were taken at the brewery it was not
in danger at any time.
The Arizona Gypsum plant was the
largest, in fact the only one in the
southwest, and had a big trade.
Practically all of the building ma
terial in the cement line used i'll this
section of the country was produced
by this firm and its destruction COM
ing at this time will cause consider
able inconvenience in the rebuilding
of the burned district at Bisbee.-

Chairman Cotton on Salisbury Question.

In regard to the telegram sent on
broadcast over the territory from
So-omonville. Arizona, signed by
three prominent democrats stating
that one E. a. Salisbury was working
for Ralph H. Cameron's election as a
delegate to congress, and that the
said Salisbury was in the employ OF
the republican party, we wish to
mphatically deny the accusation
Mr.. Salisbury has never had any
communication with any of onr COM
mittees either territorial or county,
and furthermore comes out with a
denial of the charge as made, and
his telegram if published would not
be a credit to the gentlemen who
accuse him.
1t is the desire and has been so
carried into effect by chairman,
Hoval y. Smith of the territorial re-
publican committee that a clean
campaign be waged and such methods
as the democrats are attempting to
use, look as if they are trying to lay
the blame of this Salisbury matter
at the door of the republicans OF this
territory and county.
We desire you to publish this so
that the voters of this county may
know that if any one is to blame. it
is certainly not the republicans of
this county and territory.

Bisbee Declares for S25O,OOO Bond.

The property owners of Bisbee last
week decided by an Overwhel ming
majority TO instruct the city council
to sell S25O.OOO worth of bonds, half
of the sum to be used for the i'm
provement of the streets, and half of
it for the betterment of the fire
service.
If there was any doubt as to the
popularity of the move to place the
city in the front rank as progressive
camp, it was dispelled wnen a count
of the votes for and against the
measures submitted to the tax pay
ers showed that they had carried by
a vote of nearly nine to one. There
was much rejoicing among the mem
bers of the citv's administration and
among the business men and property
holders generally when it was learned
that there had been practically no
opposition to the measures proposed
by the city council and the mayor.
The next step of the city council
will be to canvass the results of the
election and make arrangements for
the sale of the bonds. Fhe eXpendi-
ture of S25O.OOO by the city will not
only afford every convenience to the
citizens of the district, protect them
from fire and lay the foundation for
city owned plant, but it will mean
the distribution of a large part of
the district, who will in turn eXpend
it for groceries. dry goods and other
uecessdries OF life-Review.

MORE PASTURE NECESSARY.
Forest Reserve Service EndeaVOrine to
Help Out CatIIemen.

The increasing demand for grazing
pasturage on the National forests,
combined with the necessity for
guarding the range against over
stocking, are forcing the forest
service to seize and improve every
possible opportunity to Increase the
grazing capacity of the national tor.
est range.
A large number of national forests
contain pasturage that cannot now
be grazed for lack of water for the
stock within convenient reach. The
total range area hampered by dearth
of water is immense, so that the
problem presented is of urgent i'm
portance. -
The ranges of. the southwest are
particularly short of water, and dur
ing the past summer several reser-
vors and stock tanks were construct
ed on the Garcia national forest re-
serve, Arizona, in part by the forest
service, independently and in part
with the cooperation of the stock
men. In this way a great deal of
very valuable range was made avail
able for permanent use in the fnture.
In the same region drift fences
were built and others are contem-
plated or are in process of construc-
tion. When finished these fences
will effect complete control of the
stock grazing along the international
boundary line, where this forest is
situated.
Similar mprovements on a large
scale are being carried out on the
Kalbal national forest in northern
Arizona, where it is expected that
the capacity of the range will be in
Creasing so ds to accommodate sew
eral thousand head of stock more
than at present.
