WORK ON BALL PARK
 10 BEEN MONDAY
Manager HenneSsy Confident Bisbee Car Provide a
 Winning Team.

Work on the baseball park at War ren will begin next Monday morning with inc expectation of having it com pleted by tho first of June. Meantime, Manager Robt Hennessey. of the team, assisted by Capt. Edwards, is trying 10 secure a sufficient number of players in addition to the five or six who have already made the team. 10 make winning aggregation.
 The two big companies of the dis trict." said MT. Hennessey yesterday, ''he Copper Queen and the c. & A., have agreed 10 give employment to four or five ball players each. We also hope to have the Denn and the Shat tuck take care of one man each. Our greatest difficulty in securing addi- tional players, up to this time. has been the uncertainty of securing work for them With this obstacle removed. we have every reason to believe that by the first of June we will have se- cured a bunch of men who can take care of the bonors for Bisbee with the other teams of the territory"
 Capt Edwards. asked for the reason of the teams losing three straights to Clifton, stated that in the first place the men had not been given sufficient practice prior to that time to enable them to he in good form and in the second place. they did not have the men for winning team. Those who did not make good there have been discontinued from the team and Ed wards is in communication with other players who can deliver the goods.

CANANEA'S PLAY
 DOU6LAS TODAY w, P. Stewart, Booster For Team, in Bisbee-Pre-
 diets Victory

w. P. Stewart, cost clerk for the Greene Cananea company of Cananea, an experienced newspaper man, and one of the liyiest fans in that city of fans, came in from the Mexican cop per camp last night with the ball team. He will leave for Douglas this morning, where he says the Cana means are going to teach the Shelter City people the rudiments of the nat ional game.
 "Cinco de Mayo in Cananea this year. was well worth considerable time ana ex;seE-e to witness said Mir. Stewart last night" The event had been carefully planned for weeks jn advance, and the actual celebration proved well how carefully a fitting program had been prepared. The camp was thronged with visitors, and if 6ere was one who did not enjoy the occasion, he has not been heard from"

RAILROAD RATES :
 H|GH AT SOUTHLAND
Wagon FreighterS in Success flI Competition Wi:h New
 s. P. Branch

According to reports coming over from Courtland there is a Tisculiar situ- ation existing in that camp. A team of mules is hauling a large amount Of freight from Cochise to the new dis trict, because the owners Of the teams haul the freight cheaper than the rate demanded by the branch of the South ern Pacific, recently completed from Pearce The teams now successfully competing with the railroad for ton mage are owned by Charles Eenaud. and the rate of the railroad is said to he from one to two dollars per ton higher than the rate charged for the wagon haul.
 This is not the first time in the his tory of Arizona when freight has been hauled along the tracks of a railroad in operation When the Gila Valley, Globe and Northern railroad was first built through the Gila valley, they hauled the freight from Bowie sta tion to the valley towns, delivering 1t for less than the railroad demand ed. Finally the road lowered the rate to just a little below what the team sters could afford to carry it for.
 It is an invariable rule of the rail roads to charge "all the traffic will bear" but in the Ccurtland case 1t seems that someone has made a mis- calculation on just what the traffic could be depended on for.

DEFECTIVE WAS
 CEMENT This Is Cause for Collapse of = Wall on Tombstone
 Canyon Road. Investigation Shows Some of Material Excellent and
 Some Inferior.

Although the committee appointed for the investigation of the cause of the falling of about 100 feet of the cement wall used in the extension of Tombstone canyon mad has not yet made it's report to the city council, it was learned yesterday from a source whose reliability is unques- toned that 1t has been found that the cement was defective, and that re- port to that effect will be made by the committee appointed to investigate.
 From the source of information cited above, it was learned that some of the cement had been of the very best quality. while other lots had been of an inferior quality. Cement con sists of a mixture of which the prin cipal ingredients are limestone and s. lics both of which are plentiful. The quality of the cement depends, how ever, not so much on the quaiity of the ingredients as on the process through which they are put to produce the cement.
 One thing seems lssuresl--the city will not lose anything through the da- fective cement. If the company from which the local contractor secured the cement for delivery to 4iic city does not make good. it is the gene al opinion that the local company will. in order to protect their business, which would necessarily suffer heay- fly were the city to iose through de fectiye material secured through them.
 Hundreds of sacks of the cement have been tested by the city engineer. aided by chemists from the Copper Queen, and while they have but little to say about their experiments. it is certain some-of the cement has been of very inferior quality. The cost five cents each, or nearly half the cost of it.
 The city last year laid in the neigh borhood of 90,000 cubic yards of con crete wall. and in none of this work has any defect been found. The mixing of the cement for the use Of the city is done automatically by a mixer made for the purpose. practi- cally eliminating any error in this direction.

Matters at the present are rather quiet at the headquarters of the char ity committee of the board of trade, although as pay day is nearing, those familiar with the work of the com mittee will be surprised if many cases are not presented about that time. Pay day in Bisbee is day noted among the freight car fraternity. and one of which they take full advantage.
 Secretary Reynolds, of the Board of Trade. stated yesterday that the com mittee is at present arranging for transportation of two families both Of whom have been supported by them for some time. Relatives of these people have been >located and they will be sent to them for care. Both are cases in which families have been deserted by their husbands. One of the errant husbands has been located at Globe, and has agreed to support his family. The parents of the other woman lives in Texas and she will be sent to them.
