THIRTY YEARS AGO
George Warren Discovered the Famous
 District Which Bears His Name.

According to Judge Duncan of this city, who Is authority on pioneer h's- tory of Cochise county, thirty years ago this month, George Warren dis covered the Wade Hampton and other claims at Bisbee, constituting the be- ginning oi the great Copper Queen system. The year before, v, Jack Dunn and Major Rucker had made some locations in the same district.
 Warren was backed by Tucson par ties, Wsrrgu's memory has crystal ized into species of pioneer worship among those who love tradition.
 West Howell is given credit for the discovery of the Greater Copper Queen after the management thought they had the proposition about worked out Tue PBoSrECToR unhesitatingly AS. serts that, the Queen has been by far ;he heaviest producer in the terri tory, with perhaps 2j0 miles of under ground level work. IL has at the same time been compelled to meet trenen. dous expenses, over II million feet oi timber having been buried in th, uine during the year 1901 alone.
 If the mighty forest of timber ir the Queen could be suddenly laid bar, ss it is now arranged, it strains tn, , imagination to understand what i would appear Ike.
 The development, expansion anC operation of the Queen represents { mighty work during the last twenty five years. and 1t seems only to te i; its infancy. Considered along witt the Calumet & Ar!zons, the WarreI district Is undoubtedly the greates copper, AS Tombstone is destined [, he the greates, gold and silver distric on tne planet.

THE WAY IT IS DONE.

So sure are many of the gentlemen aspiring for nomi- nation at the hands of the Democratic convention, that they have begun to make love to the babies and pets already. They will put on their imacu- late shirt fronts, and they seem to take a delight in hay ing the: little croupy ones smear lasscs over them, re- gard.es, of the flies. just so the fond mamma CT devoted papa are in sight. That is right, announce yourself in HE PEo>PEcToR, and keep up this system and all the powers of iniquity can not prevail against you this fall in Cochisc county.

itt t-t We seldom make a special spiel on politics. Our heredi- tary attitude on this point is so well established, that it re- quires no constant flow of printers ink to locate us, but occasionally il is not incon- sistant to touch off a gun and remind the people where the battery lies ready for action any time our principles aIe assailed.
 We have observed that some people are very undemocratic in their advocacy of dem ocracy.
 Democracy in the abstract, is the cieanest, purest, most just and righteous govern mental principal in exist ence.
 It is devoted to justice, to equality, to representation, to an equitable equilibrium be- tween labor and capital, to protection and security for all legitimate occupations, to home, to flag and to Ameri- can soil. It means the CO., operative rather than the competitive systems. It be- lieves in helping each other along instead of tearing each other down.
 The true Democrat, is liber- ality personifed. He never discriminates against h $ cOuntTyman on account of politics, except at the polls. and then he does it in man. ner that wins converts to his convictions, instead of driv- ing others away from his point of view. His method of making converts is to be a model man and an exemplery citizen, The rising genera tion looking about it wi l naturally reflect, There is as fine man as l ever knew, and as good an American, he is Democrat, there must be something good about Dem Ocracy."
 The sound Democrat never scOlds, he is not narrow, he is no yellow dog politician, he would vote for an honest Re-

To Many Why William Pinkney Is Such

We wonder why w. Pinkney White comes to Tombstone so much oI late? Does he recognize that the head of Republicanism Is located in the "hats' of the five Republican members Of the central committee, who reside in Tombstone.

We have every species of respect for the Bisbee Daily Review. but that ex- , cellent paper has permitted itself to
 be ''loaded' in regard to the Junior
 ball game brought off last Sunday at
 Tom bstOne between the Tombstone Juniors and the Bisbee White Socks.
 This impecunious, and succulent source of information, tells the Review people that the Juniors were com posed of men.
 The fact Is there was not a boy among the Juniors over l6. No doubt they looked like giants to the war spondent who accompanied the White Socks. by the time they got through with them, and the cry arose, "where Is your Kelley pow?" but by actual measurement and the ] ie page in the holy bible demon- strates that in the aggregate, the Bis bee team was fifty years older than the Juniors.
 The White Socks are fine young elbows and thoroughly blooded, and not responsible for the whine set up n the Review on Tuesday. Cut that var correspondent out, boys, and we 'lll have another game, the Review Till get the correct estimate of the tultion and all will be well.

Owen is charged with assault with a deadly weapon, but Stur- gel refuses to prosecute and says he will appear as a witness for the defense if the case comes to trial. Owen asserts that he has no recollection of the shooting, having assisted Sturgel in dis posing of a vast quantity of hot whisky before the feat of marks manship.

SOLID BLOCKS OF BRICK
 IN IMPERIAL COUNTY SEAT
Orders Given For Fine Railroad Depot at Fl Centro. Work Rushing on Main Street Business Structures. Additions to Hotels. New Building Enterprises.

and bricklaying on the others was begun this week. Later it is expected that other buildings will be erected adjacent to these three, so that that side of Main street will be a solid block of brick business buildings. L
 The addition to Hotel Franklin is completed and that pioneer hostelry now has accommodation for eighty people as well as new and modern hotel equipment in every department. Work on an addition to the Fl Centro hotel was begun this week. This ad- dition will give about 20 more rooms on the northeast wing. Another addition extending west on Main street is contemplated.
 Two plumbing shops have been erected recently. Al Casner has erected a 20 by 40 frame building on the north side of Main street, which will be ready for occupan- cy in a week or two.
 Negotiations are in progress for the erection of a series of brick buildings on Main street near the office of the El Centro Land Go. These buildings will occupy an area 100 feet wide by about 100 feet deep. and will be occupied by business firms who are. seeking a location in El Gen. trO.
 Lots opposite these were sold this week to Geo. Fishbaugh, of Yuma, who proposes to begin the erection of a two-story fifty-foot front building by March 1.

El Centro's transformation from a frontier town to a modern city proceeds with wonderful rap idity. The county seat has quad rupled in population within a few months, substantial brick struc- lures are going up, new business firms are coming in and the win ter will see the addition of scores of dwelling houses to the resi- dential sections. /
 The one building most urgent ly needed has been a new passen- ger depot and that need is to be filled at once. Plans for a brick passenger depot and a frame freight depot have been finally approved in the offices of the Southern Pacific. Work will be commenced as soon as orders for necessary material can be placed and delivery made. The struc- ture is to be substantial, artistic and in keeping with the size and importance of the county seat of the county of Imperial. It will remove the present unsightly and inadequate depot and willpresent an attractive and imposing ap- pearance at the gateway of the town. It is stated on competent authority that work will be rushed and the buildings completed as soon as possible.
 The three brick buildings Bn the south side of Main street, which are being erected by w. F. Holt, are progressing well. One is well along toward completion

KILLS DUCKS WITH SHOVEL
Farmer Jacobs Bags Six at One>Whack
 In His Barley Field

The hardest work on an Imper- ial Valley farm at this season is driving ducks off the barley fields. It keeps the farmer and his boys up all night, and when the old man finds that an unguarded for ty-acre field has been turned bot tom side up and all the seed and sprouts stolen over night, it makes him peevish and pessimis- tic.
 Nelse Jacobs, ovof near Mes quite Lake, got up before day light last Thursday and went out with a lantern and a shovel to turn water into a field, and found the field occupied by a whole ar my corps of ducks. Jacobs was annoyed. He said @shoo!" and the ducks got up with a rush of wings like a tempest sweeping over a pine forest and stampeded. Jacobs was right in the track of the stampede, and he swung shovel and lantern to turn it. The shovel swept througha thick bunch and killed four ducks, and the lantern knocked down and disabled two more. Jacobs was not seriously hurt, but he was considerably rattled by the dis turbance.
 Jake Meadows and some others were on the edge of the field with
Imperial Valley press., 1908-01-04

guns and they bombarded the flock furiously. They had to get a wagon to bring in the spoil. Jacobs was so grateful to the gunners for saving him from be- ing overwhelmed by ducks that he had them all in to breakfast.
 He proclaims that he will serve breakfasts gladly to all the gum ners who come out to his place and help him save his barley crop.
