 HE DIRECTORS
In Connection With Annual c. & A. Report, Col. Powell Outlines Work Done On the New Town Enterprise.


 Tn connection with the report o, the Calumsr & Arizona Mining .Ul- pany, recently published, report was made by Col. Powell on the pro gress of the towl of Warren. The document was prepared weeks ago, and most of the work referred to as incomplete is now done. Following is the report:
 MT. Charles Briggs,
 President. Calumet & Arizona Min
 Ing company, and Superior &
 Pittsburg Copper company,
 Calumet, Michigan.
 Dear Sir:--Carrying cut the policy of the Calumet & Arizona Mining company and the Superior & Pitts burg Copper company of providing a desirable location where the employ ees of the two companies could se- cure sites for homes at reasonable prices. and where they would be pro vided with sanitary conditions, good water supply and transportation Ia cilities for getting to and from their work and to the business eenters of the camp, the Warren company, 1906, with both the above companIee a. large stockholders, and all of the
 
 ren Realty & Development company including the proposed towasite of Warren, were taken over by cue Warren company.
 The congested conditions prevail ing in the sections available for building in the immediate vicinity of the mines seemed to make it almost imperative that this tow1site should I.a irs tn pflnN the increasing growth of the camp.
 Tine townsite of Warren is situated in a beautiful valley surrounded by mountains by nature as the natural location for residences of the employ ees of the Warren district mines.
 During the year seven miles or streets have been graded. and Sew, age system nine miles in length and a water system seven miles in length have been constructed; both abso- lutely modern in every respect.
 4 franchise was secured from the city of Bisbee giving authority to construct and operate an electric street railway system through its streets, and the electric railway has now been constructed from the town site O. Warren to a point west of Sacramento hill within few Feet of the large machine shop of the Cop per Queen company. This line is known as the upper line, and will carry passengers veiy close to the Briggs, Junction, Hoatson, Lowell, Oliver, Gardiner. Spray, Mag and Hol- brook shafts. From point north or the Briggs shaft, the line branches of, and is now completed to the town of Lowell, and will be com pleted by the first of March, and op- erating into the city of Bisbee. This line has been built of the very best material throughout and equipped in the same manner. The power for our electric cars and for lights for the city of Warren will be furnished from the Oliver power house where there has been installed during the year a 800 kw. Westinghouse-Par- sons turbo generator.
 A large number of lots have O.. ready been sold in the townsite Of Warren and some sixty odd buildings constructed, including one residence, which, when completed. will be the handsomest in the territory.
 Our outlay in connection with this enterprise has been rather heavy, but there is every reason to believe that the enterpris as whole will eyentu, ally be a successful one, and that we will not only be reimbursed for our outlay, but that we will be greatly benefited by being able to secure the best class of employees by offering them such an attractive and beautiful place as Warren, where homes can be secured at very reasonable prices and where the most sanitary condl- tions exist
 The nearing of the completion of the street car line has increased the building activities in the tovnsite and when normal financial conditions are restored, We feel confident of a very rapid growth for the new city.
 Very truly,
 l.. W. POWELL,
