Bisbee daily review., 1908-11-24

It was a scene typical of a western
 mining camp. Which means that it
 was a scene typical of Bisbee. In a
 brilliantly lighted room men lounged at the bar. surrounded the poker tables, or watched the progress of the
 game. The tinkle of the wine glass and the deadened thud of the heavier
 beer stein mingled with the ebb and flow of conversation.
 Monotonously there drifted from the
 poker tables the signal for drinks
 from the kitty" the query "cards?"
 the raise you" "call you," the show down." the chatter of the chips as the
 pot was raked in, and then the deal again. The barroom reeked with to-
 bacco smoke and the fumes of liquor.
 From the lazy conversation at the bar there drifted the words, Hedge" |"
 'tellerium." flaundry busted" indica.
 tive of the interest in the new gold
 camp-Sylvanite.
 When the incident occurred the play
 had been In progress for hours. The
 early visitors to the place had gone home. The poker games had settled to steady and business-like regular ity. The bartender was leisurely wip- ing his glasses. From the Tear of the house came the uninterrupted but sub dued chorus of the sleepers on the un- used tables. An air of listlessness possessed the place, and it was the last moment at which one would have expected the unusual to happen.
 But it did. An event without pre- cedent in the lives of the miners and gamblers of the place happened in the twinkling of an eye. Nothing else could have brought them so quickly to their feet in openeyed amazement and astonishment as did the trim and demure feminine figure which march ed in at the front door, advanced to the bar, and in a winning but quayer- ing voice said to he bartender: We want to play poker, please!" And be- : fore the dumbfounded drink-dispeuser 1 could reply, she added. There are two other girls with me, and we would ] ike to play, pleasei"
 Heavens and earth! Could such a l hing happen in Bisbee? What was to De done? The woman was good-look- , ing. dainty, modest, well-dressed. | We'll, they were all glad they were not the bartender. The latter does | not know to this day just what he i lid But in some manner he man iged to convey the idea that the laws 1 ,f the territory did not allow women ! in saloons, and that however much : le might desire to accommodate her i md her companions, it was out of the | question.

FINE CURIO STOCK
 25 PER CENT OFF Manager Edwards of Copper Queen Hotel Announces a
 Rare Opportunity.

It will be of interest to the public to learn that Manager Edwards, of the Copper Queen hotel is closing out his eurio store at twenty-five per cent reduction on all goods in stock. There is a very beautiful assortment or curtos which will be of interest to all who are anxious to provide their homes with ornaments and useful things which are something out of the ordinary.
 There is a fine line of Indian bas- kets in this stock. These are always desirable, and the unique designs which characterize this lot make them particularly desirable. The burnt leather goods are among the useful and beautiful acquisitions, consisting as they do of hangers, table covers, many of them being hand painted and characteristic of the border land. The Mexican shawls and zerapas and lunch cloths and doilies are all pretty and just what the home requires to make 1t attractive. They will make fine Christmas presents to send to your eastern friends, where they will be ap- preciated because of the novelty as well as for their intrinsic value.
 There are numerous souvenir spoons suggestive of Bisbee which are nice, and there are a number of pieces of Mexican pottery which will be useful and ornamental. There is a large as- sortment of postal cards which are especially popular just now. Remem- Der that there is a 9 per cent dis count on all this store of curios.

l4 MEN AT WORK
 ON BISBEE.SONORA

P. F. Carmody, formerly of this city and well known here, was in the city yesterday from Douglas, where he has been for the past two years. Carmody was here on business con nected with the Bisbee-Sonora com pany, of which he Is one of the prin- cipal shareholders. In speaking of this property, which has become of late known as one of the best silver mines in this section, Carmody said:
 Our company now has a force of fourteen men at work on the silver property and the copper proepect Most of them are employed on the lat ter, where a tunnel, already 300 feet long. is being driven to cut a copper ledge which shows at the surface a width of forty feet, and in some places shipments from the tunnel will be made.
 The progress made in the develop ment of the silver property, in the same group of claims, is pretty well known. The company has ledge of silver and lead averaging S30 a ton, running fifteen feet in width. We expect to average a car of ore a week after January 1st, and later on expect to ship a car of ore each day.
 As is well known, the company is a holding company, and has, in addi. tion to the properties mentioned, sev- eraI others in the Chiricahuas, in- cluding the Badger-Hall mining group near Paradise, consisting of ten claims, and the Ohio group, situated about four miles east of Bisbee."
 Carmody will return to Douglas to- day

COMMISSION IS PuzzLEp.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-A curious request Is made of the interstate commerce commission in a petition filed by the National Lumber compa- ny of Los Angeles against the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Rail road company.

 tain shipments amounting to s771. No such report ever before vas made to the commission.

Only an Office Boy,

thing will come out this way:
"a new boy is engaged. He is meek
and mild, apologize of bearing and
courteous of speech. He is apparently
seeking an excuse for daring to make
a living. He looks reproachfully at
the head Office boy, who orders him
around in a rough, catch-as-catch-can
style. Such rudeness pains him.

rude superior has resigned or been dis

Mater and Life.

water ana Iltos
OF all the conditions preparatory to
life the presence Of water, composed of
oxygen and hydrogen. is at once the
most essential and the most worldwide,
for If water be present the presence of
other necessary elements is probably
assured. If water exist, that fact goes
bail for the necessary temperature, the
gamut Of life being coextensive with
the existence Of water as such. It is
so consequentially, life being impossl-
BILE without water. Whatever the plan
ct, this Is Of necessity true. But the
absolute degrees Of temperature with
In which life can exist vary according
to the mass Of the body, another of the
ways in which mere size tells. On the
earth 212 degrees F. limits the range
Ut the top and 81 degrees F. at the bot
tom in the case Of fresh water, q de-
grees F. in the case of salt. On
smaller planet both limits would be
lowered, the top one the most. On
Mars the boiling point would probably
be about 10 degrees F. Secondly,
from the general initial oneness Of their
constituents planet that still pos
sesses water will probably retain the
other substances that are essential to
life-gases, for the reason that water
vapor is next to hydrogen and helium
the ightest Of them all, and solids be-
cause their weight would still more
conduce to keep them there. Water,
indeed, acts as solution to the whole
problem.-Professor Lowell's ''The Ev-
olution of Life" in Century Magazine.
