mind was injured upon eastern con-

imagination aglow with weird tales of
tho frontier, and her bright eyes per-
.ceived the vivid coloring of romance
In each prosaic object west of the
'tawny Missouri. All appeared SO diff
ferent from that established life to
which she had grown accustomed, -
the people. the country, the pictur-
.esque language.-while her brain so
teemed with lurid pictures of border
experiences and heroes as to reveal
romantic possibilities everywhere. AS
her eager eyes traced the serrated
peaks OF snow-clad mountain range,
her heart throbbed with anticipation
of wonders yet to come. Homesick-
ness was thing undreamed Of; her
active brain responded to each new
aggression.

GRAND WILL LEAVE

Well Known Engineer Com pIeteS Big Undertaking
 in the District.


 After having spent about year in the Warren district, during which time he completed one of the mosi difficult grading undertakings ever at tempted in the southwest, J. B. Cir and, Of the Haggott, Grand Company will leave the city this afternoon foI the northern portion of tht territory where he will take up the direction of work on the construction of large stamp mill.
 .Asr. Girand's firm was awarded the contract for the building oF the War ren- -Eisbes electric car line. and af ter surmounting numerous obstacles the task is practically finished now, as the remaining work, will be com pleted by the railway company. All oi the work has been done under Mir Girand's supervision, and, judging from the satisfaction expressed by the management of the Warren Com pany. it has been well done. When asked about his departure last evening. Mir. Grand said:
 rDuring my stay in the Warren dis trict have been 80 well treated, that can honestly say that hate to leavs here. Besides being well treated by the residents of this portion of-the territory. am convinced that no sec ton of the country has a brighter flu ture. The mines are wonderful and will undoubtedly be working ffts years hence. at which time, if the same progressive spirit prevails among ths people. as at present. this will un deuhtedly be grsat home city"

GAR IS OPERATED ON
 ELECTRIG LINE
Connection Are Made and For First Time In History of Dis trict Street Car Is Run At Warren.

If somebody had told George War ren, the discoverer" of Bisbee. twenty six years ago, that by this time there would be more than 10000 people liv- ing in these canyons, supported by mining enterprises which rival any in the world, and that real. live electric street cars would be in operation, as we'll as automobiles, and every other kind of conveyance, the old prospector would probably have hit the speaker over the head with a pick handle and told him to quit "joshing." But yes terday afternoon handsome new electric street car was run out of the car barn at Warren, with c. G. Adsit, consulting engineer for the Cole in terests, at the levers, and made a trip from one end of Arizona street to another.
 [ Yesterday morning Adsit with his assistants, completed the task of car rying the current from the Oliver cleo tric plant to Warren, and late in the afternoon the cars were placed in a condition for a trial run. There were some minor difficulties experienced when the first attempt vas made, to ! start the ears, but later everything worked properly and car No. 101 pull ed out of the barn with c. c. Adsit, Col. c. w. Van Dyke, manager or the Warren Company, J. B. Girand, Ralph Caldwell, superintendent and Review representative on board. The car was run out along ArizIna street and back again, everything working per fectly.
 The company's engineers took up the task yesterday of surveying a line to the prospective site of the Warren District Country Club, and as soon as the location is decided upon work ] will be commenced.
 The town now has more than $780, 600 worth of buildings, sewer system, water system, a street care line and ! in fact, everything that goes to make city modern and inhabitable.

 Four hundred and fifty-seven thous- and shares out of possible 500,000, were represented at the meeting and the stockholders unanimously endors- ed the action ot the officers and di- rectors. The Arizona & Michigan Company owns 140 acres of mineral bearing ground in the Johnson dis trict in this county. The deepest working on the property is $50 feet in double compartment shaft and several hundred tons of ore is already stacked up on the dump awaiting the connection of the railroad, ten miles in length, with the Southern Pacific main line The contract for Ntie ties and steel has already been let and material is expected to begin toNarrive within the next sixty days. It is the expectation of the management that before May l, both the railroad and the mines will be in operation.
 The new officers elected at the an naul meeting were A. J. Pidgeon, president; Steve Roemer, vice presi- dent; J. N. Lindley, treasurer; Steve Rcemers secretary and assistant treas urer.
 Upon the completion of the rail road to Johnson several small prop critics will be able to make ship ments Among those who may be counted upon as steady shippers are the Republic. Mammoth, Peabody, Black Prince, Mayfiower, Yankee Doc de, St George Empire and othss small propositions.

 For Primaries,

To the Editor Bisbee Daily Review. Dear Sir-The article in your paper this morning under the caption, Kirk Makes a Bad Move in Politics" is an absolute injustice to the gentle, man in question, and I would request that you please make this correction. It was my impression until this morn. ing, that tho coming city election was to be held on the same date as in Former years, the first Monday in April. According to this belief, and after due consultation with the city attorney, on day before yesterday, formulated a call for the primaries we agreeing that the first publication of the notice for the primaries would have to be some time next week.
 In order to get the apportionment of the delegates. which must come from the central committees of the political parties, under the law. wrote letters to MT. Bowen, of the Democratic committee, and to MT Kirk Of the Republican committee, re. questing that they furnish me the in formation. Mir. Kirk personally in formed me that he would not furnish the apportionment without the con sent of the committee and issued the call for a committee meeting, and at my invitation the office of Tester & Hicks (of-which firm I ain a mem ber) was selected as the reeti7g place, and each me,nn r of the t(m. mittee was notified 5g- m. iry r.ai at the request of MT.
