known as 1.-The father of the code of

1t was in 1897 that Willis V. Elliott
was appointed deputy district attor-
ney, under B. NJ. Malone. He prose-
cuted at the West Side Criminal Court
for three years, making one of the best
records before that tribunal. In 1900
he formed a partnership with Rodney
J. Bardwell, who was two years ago
elected to the state senate from this
county. Mr.. Elliott was nominated
to the state senate by the Republicans
in 1902 but declares he was counted
out by the Democrats. In the Bonynge-
Shafroth contest case before Congress
for seat in that body, the truth of the
testimony which Shafroth acknowl-
edged, would have guaranteed Elliott's
election to the state senate, the latter
contends.
Mr.. Elliott has more or less handled
the political litigation, growing out of
elections in Denver and the state, for
many years. His record and popular
ity makes him a strong candidate for
district attorney.

There is no more important office
in the county or state government
than that of district attorney, and the
Republicans have nominated for this
office Willis v. Elliott, popular, fear
less able, and with an experience that
few practitioners at the bar in Denver
have gained at his age.
Mr.. Elliott, while he was born in
Mansfield, Pennsylvania, in 1871,
claims Colorado his native state, be-
cause his father removed to this state

There were large pay rolls here and this money of course put into circu- lation. Business men felt the ad- vantage, and it is certain that they fared better here than anywhere throughout the east"
 Our mining interests are advanc- ing here as rapidly as it Is possible to have them, and we feel that the prog ress which has been made during the past year has been very gratifying to the citizens of this section of the southwest. It certainly has been to us. Colonel Powell has made great advancement in every way and Is ac- cumulating more property which will rebound greatly to the benefit of the stockholders"
 Mir. Campbell spoke of the delight full weather he found down here ln Bisbee and states that he had enjoy cd a sleigh ride at his home in Calu- met before leaving for the south. We had about ten days of showing up in Michigan, and about eighteen inches of snow. This gave good sleighing and afforded the children plenty ot material for snow baIliIg. It seems strange here in the southwest to near of snow and particularly at this early date, but I feel better in the country of changing seasons, and believe all do whose health the northern climate does not initiate against"

'Thore is everywhere evidences of the resumption of prosperity and busi- ness men are laying their plans for an enlargement of their business in terests and are prepared to launch upon a new era of activity.
 "The city of San Francisco is rapid ly building up and has resumed it's former activity and it's old-time great ness and splendid activity"
 Mir. Geisenhofer Is greatly improved in health and shows that his short va cation has been of great benefit to him. He is always glad to return to Bisbee where his interests are, and where, through his long residence, he has built up a wide friendship.

WIND DEMOLISHES THE AIRDOME ROOF
Hoodoo Still PurSueS the Open Air Theater at Warren.
 Built Last Spring.

The hoodoo that has hung to the Warren Airdome ever since it was finished last spring culminated yes terday in the demolition of the roof by the high winds. This place of amusement has an unfortunate his tory, and chiefly because, as many be- lieve, 1t was erected a year too soon. The public and the times were not ready for that class of amusement in that locality. There were not enough peofnle in Warren, and expected pa tronage from Bisbee did not material ize. This was no doubt largely due to the hard times, as people have not been lavish with money for amuse- ments of any kind.
 Now that the tide is turning, and there is every appearance that next spring would see considerable inter- est In an open-air theat"r, the expen- sfve roof is smashed and another sec tion of the wall tumbled over. It can not be predicted whether the struc- ture will ever be restored, or whether the site will be used for a business block and the theater idea abandoned.

TAX BATTLE IN
 THE PRELIMINARY
Legal Talent Clearing Away the Underbrush For the
 Real Fight,
Special to the Review.)

TOMBSTONE, Nov. 24.-The first round of the preliminary in the battle between the territory and the Copper Queen company over the question of the delinquent or back taxes amount ing to over $200.000 for the year 1901, was won by the territory, when 1t succeeded in having eliminated the plea in abatement offered by the at torneys for the defense. This decision was not rendered until there had been a number of legal thrusts by the attorneys on both sides, scores of au- thorities and some oral testimony in- troduced. The plea was finally strick- en out on account of lack of facts to sustain it.
 The session late yesterday afternoon and the entire time of the court up to the noon hour was taken in the argu- ment of the eighteen special demur- rers as well as the general demurrer to the complaint. The copies of the decisions rendered by Judge Nave, cut from the Bisbee Review columns, were introduced in support of some of the demurrers as one of them was the only printed opinion, as well as NTlJLen, that was gwen Dy JuuSe Ndfc at the time he decided the case in favor of the Copper Queen company. This opinion was written by Judge Nave at that time for the Review cor respondent.
 It is expected that the question of the demurrers will be settled this af- ternoon at a late hour by Judge Doan, who was busy from the noon hour un- til nearly 3 o'clock in looking over the list of cases cited as authority. The argument presented yesterday by At torney Judson was a masterly one and was listened to with great care by all who were present in the court room. The reply by Attorney General Clark. as also an able one and showed that the attorney general had not been idle since the last trial of the case. but had spent considerable time and study on the questions involved. From present appearances. the court may be able to get into the merits of the oass l this evening or in the morning.

MANY ASK QUESTIONS
 ABOUT THIS DISTRICT
Secretary of Board of Trade Receives Large Number
 of Letters.

That the Bisbee board of trade has been doing excellent work Is testified by the numerous letters which are being daily received by c. K. Ray holds, secretary of the organization Letters are coming in from all oyel the country and from every avenue oI business life, containing inquiries oI the possibilities of Bisbee. it's climal- ic conditions, the opportunities of pro fess.onal men and business men, and men who are in search of situations. The bulk of the inquiries are the re suit of the liberal distribution of literature which was made at the meeting of the National Irrigation Congress at Albuquerque.
 Letters are bling up daily, and in- stead of having the proper literature to mail out, containing the full data which Is asked for in these cases, let ters have to be written and great amount of unnecessary work is re- quired of the secretary.
 Among some of the letters which have been received during the past few days Is one from a physician wnU desires to locate here, another was from the director of a business col lege in Montana with the same object. and great many laboring men from every state in the union. Frank Cox, of the Southern Pacific, has written for statistics covering the mining in terests of this section.
 The advertising committee, of which Cleve Van Dyke was chairman, has neglected to issue the proper amount of advertising literature and 1t is in tended by the board of trade to reor- ganiZe this body and issue literature which will cover this district properly and exhaustively. This will give the board of trade the material to seno out to all these inquiries, and answer all letters in a proper manner
 The resumption of prosperity in the Bisbee camp, as well as throughout the country, Is suggestive of the great work which Is ahead of the Bisbee board of trade. and how much this city will be benefited by the activity of the organization.
