COUNCIL TAKES NO ACTION ON
 WATER WORKS
Definite Steps In Matter Post poned-Bidders Address the Bedy-Small Sewer Con- tract Let.

The Bisbee city council met in special session last night at the city hall. Those responding to the roll call were Aldermen Haines, Shattuck, Allen, Edwards. Moon and Barkdoll. The purpose of the meeting as ex- plained to the city fathers by Mayor George Fl. Neale was a discussion of The city water situation, with especiaI reference to the proposed S125.000 i'm provements to the present facilities for fighting fire.
 The discussion. all of which was most informal in nature. led along tne line of the question as to whether the city should let the proposed work out to contractors or do the construe- tion itself. There was no real debate at any time over the matter. The opinion seemed to prevail that before any steps were taken a competent out side engineer should be called in to 90 over the whole plan with City En- gineer McNeish.
 w. A. Dutch asked permission to address the council in the interests Of the American Light and Power com pany, of Kansas City. This is the firm which built the sewer system of Douglas. MT. Dutch argued Tn favor of the percentage basis as against the out and out contract plan in the giving of the work to an outside company. Some of the council had seemed to favor the former plan. He closed his talk by making an out and out offer on behalf of his company to undertake the planning and construction of the system for the consideration of six per cent of the cost
 Councilman c. ". Moon moved that before any steps were taken City Engineer J. s. McNeish be asked to go over all the plans and surveys thus far made with City Engineer Ander- son of Fl Paso. This was carried. The views of Anderson and of prob ably other experts will be obtained at an early date.
 Bids were then opened for the con struction of a snort line of sewer near Castle Rock. The contract, involving an expenditure of something like $75 was awarded to the Hogan & Smith company.
 The sewer committee reported on the proposed extension along Maxfield avenue. This report was referred to the next meeting.
 City Clerk C. w. Hicks then read Q communication from J. J. Patten, who applied for the position of depu- " assessor at the remuneration of $500 for the term, which begins Feb ruary 1st.
 The street comm ttee was asked to see Messrs. M. J. Cunningham Will jam Robinson and Pete Johnson with regard to the removal of the Hogan offica biiiIdiug With that inc meet ing was adjourned.

TRANSPORTATION IN
 MOUNTiANOUS REGIONS

The solution of transportation
 problems to and from mines in diff culty-accessible places in mountain- ous regions is often a serious mattel and calls for the exercise of consfd- ah lejngenuity. Many good prospects are ly'ng idle. not because the ore is of too low-grade or of a character that makes it impossible to treat it profitably, but because the product cannot stand the expense of trans portation to the railroad or shelter by the old-fashioned method of pack ing, or by long wagon hauls. Even if the ore were rich enough to sand it

The pesods of moderate strength and weakness alternate, and the tone Is spctty and irregular at all times.

the consul, will continue to buy freely

taken it for granted that they would
have the American consumer ut their
