DEMOCRATS READY FOR cITV BATTLE.

The occasion Of .he meeting of the Warren District Democratic club last night was one Of enthusiasm and confidence. New officers of the club were chcuen. committees were ap- pointed and splendid starr made ;n the enrolment of members Several sreeches were made aud as each speaker dwelt on the necessity of thorough organization he was greet ed by approving applause.
 The attendance was sufficient 70 show that democracy sill has earnest supporters in Bisbee. who are willing to face the republican enemy ae the city election and at the coming fall election or in the first state election, wirs more vigor and determination to vi. victory ,han ever before.
 A satform was adopted for the club which justly arraigned the false promises of the republicans in 1908 oondensed the humiliating limitations and srsvisions of the senate state hood bill. endorsed the efficient city government provided for Bisbee by past democratic administrations. and pledged a continuance of the same.
 Bisbee is a democratic ely by Q goos majority. the democrats now Ou for city offices are all worthy of ev cry democratic vote, and if last night: meeting is a sample of the enthusiast; democratic work to be expected dur ing the approaching city campaign th' republicans wiII have no show tC win a single office.
 Democrats must remember that i they desire to see their party prln ciples prevail, organization is neces sary. and it is hoped that the Warrer District Democratic club membership roll will soon carry the name of every demoors.. from Warren Q the summit Of Tombstone canyon.

This paper has always contended that the mines in Mexico. south Of and tributary to Douglas would. with development, be the means of mak- ing this the largest city in Arizona Every day we are more and more convinced that this will come true. Latest news from the Fl Tigre mines tell of additional ore bodies having been encountered in the very lowest levels Of that property thus proving that the ore goes down deep. In the Fl Tigre district are other very promising properties which are now under development The Tabatacochi district is also making a good showing on several properties. Around Nacozari there are a number of large copper prop critics which have only been scratch ed in the way of development and on down around Cumpas. Moctezuma and in the Sahuaripa district rich mineral fields await the coming of railroad transportation which will bring them into prominence.
