Gil yesterday evening was not without
interesting features. Chief Engineer
Bullock, of the American Light &
Water company presented the offer of
his company to install the water mains
that must be constructed for the city
of Bishee in the immediate future.
While Bullock interioaded the dry
statistics Of the plans he submitted
with enough wit TO keep the city dads
smiling, the proceedings We're charac-
teTized by a serious attention that
augured well for the interests of those
who voted for the $3.50, 900 bonds that
will project this municipality from
fire.
Mayor Neale said that he had re
ceived from the mayor of Tucson
wire that assured him that the AmeTi-
can Light & Water company not only
had rendered wholly satisfactory ser
vice to the ancient pueblo, but mad III

AR|zONANS WIN
SHOOT FROM
CAL|FORN|ANS
Native Sens Lose To Bisbee
Rifle Team BY Score of SOB
To SCI In Geographic Con-
test Sunday.

The second telegraphic 200 yard
match with the Concord Rife Club OF
California was shot on Sunday with
ideal shooting weather prevailing on
the local range. The Concord club i'm
proved their scores made in the first
match, but were unable TO cope with
the best of the Bisbee riffemen.
Knauft, Hook and Peacock put up
good scores and were tied by Mitchell
alone, but those 40 scores were what
won for the Bisbee. boys. OF the reg
ular team of ten, none fell below the
coveted 80 per cent. rs
A sweepstake was also shot on the
200 yards, the money being divided be-
tween Mitchell, high score; Cunning
ham, fifth score, and Seidel, tenth
score
While waiting for the finish of the
200 yard match few scores were shot
at the SEQ yards, but the fun began
when the 1000 yard target was sashed
Cunningham carried OFF the honors
at the long range, and this distance
proved so interesting that all the work
next practice day will be on the long
distance targets.
Match scores, 10 shots, 200 yards:

ent and foremen, together with all
necessary tools and equipment. The
salary of the forecnen is to be. included
as part OF the actual cost, as also is to
he the cost of repairs to tools, equip
ment and machinery.
The city is to have the right to EN-.
plOy inspectors and timekeepers, and
We agree to render to you or your
author zed representatives detailed re-
ports covering all bills and expendi-
lures for labor and material.
On or about the first of each month
We will prepare and submit to you an
estimate OF the cost of all labor and
materials used and employed on the
work. This estimate shall be checked
over and approved by you, if il is cor
rect, and YOU are to then promptly
pay us tae amount thereof plus per
cent, the remaining ) per cent of the
10 per cent commission to be retained
ty you until the plant has been COM
pleted and accepted by the city.
Should you accept this proposal We
agree to file with the city Within fif-
teen days thereafter 4 good and &C
ceptable bond in the sum of $50 900 90,

and faithfully report to the city the
true sunS/and amounts we eXpend in
the construction thereof.
Your acceptance of this proposal by
proper resolution will constitute a
contract between the city of Bisbee.
Arizona, and ourselves as per the
terms herein set forth.
He then suggested that the city
would better build two small reser-
voirs. as a large one would not only
be more susceptible tc damage
through the greater seepage afforded
Ey it, extent. but would endanger the
plumbing of lateral mains through its
greater pressure. He thought that a
system including TWO smaller Teser-
Volrs at different attitudes WOULD
equalize the pressure and thus neces
state less precaution in material and
construction at lower levels. He eX.
cited more or less mirth by saying his
company had been a source of supply,
IN the various towns where it had fill
ed similar contracts, to the genera
public in the matter of lanterns, the
amount of lanterns carried by the
voters being commensurate with the
number that had disappeared from the
company's workings during the night
time
The discussion of tae work to be
done was 50 extensive and so thor
cughly threshed out by the council,
men that a volume would be required
to chronicle its salient events. How
ever, the engineers proposal was so
thoroughly complete that the council
ysas yisibIy Impressed and accepted 1t
sitls certain provisions. probably WITH
the idea OF thinking the proposal over
,sercaghIy.

detailed account OF the contract tae

South of the Golden State and geog- great empire of the west lies a vast peninsula whose coast line is almost as extensive as our Atlantic seaboard, possessing deep harbors, inexhaustiole mines, fertile valleys, big game, an Italian climate-a mysterious country with a romantic past, no present, but a future to be reckoned with. Even now the American fleet is hastening toward one of these harbors. the great Bay of Magdalena, for target practice and fuel, while the advance of the 1sth- milan canal is rapidly intenslfying the federal desire to purchase from Mexico this important peninsula which reaches from San Diego down toward Panama.
 Apace with the awakened interest in this hitherto little known region, is the announcement by Paul Elder and com pany, New York and San Francisco, of forthcoming volume upon Lower Cal ifornia, under the title of The Mother of California" by Arthur Walbridge North, being an historical sketch of Baja California from the days of Cor tez to the present time, depicting the ancient missions, the mines and the physical, social and political aspects of the country. The work will be illus trated by thirty-two photographs of scenes and persons and will further more contain the most accurate and only complete map of the country ever made.
