Took Gentle Shower for FGuI- B-WaSher" and Remain
 e. at t!osrv

Because Of heavy rain at Douglas Sunday. which the Douglas golfers thought to be general, the twenty man golf team of the Douglas coun try club did not come to Bisbee Sun day morning for a match with the Warren district country club The local links were in fine shape and the players in good fettle. and they say now that Douglas would have been given a trimming had they come up.
 The house committee had prepared for the occasion a dinner of roast turkey and cranberry sauce and many other good things to alleviate the pain of defeat which the golfers had planned 10 give the visitors. The dinner was planned to be the banner feed" Of the season, many of the club ladies aiding in it's preparation
 The deferred match with Douglas may be played next Sunday and the greens committee will take up the matter at its next meeting. There were over fifty matches played at the golf cluo grounds Sunday. The rains had put the links in fine condi ton and some low scores were made. s. S. Badger. one of the team. Who came up Saturday. says that the Doug las golfers will probably come up next Sunday or if not some Sunday soon thereafter.

 A record has been kept for sey eral Sundays past of those calling for and obtaining mail at the Bisbee office and the Lowell branch office, the result showing that only about one in every three or four that calls for mail at the general delivery win dow on Sunday receive any mail
 The Bisbee office is equipped with sufficient boxes to accomodate the number of people who call for mail on Sunday at the general delivery window, Even with the windows closed. it will be necessary to retain @ small force of clerks for a few hours on Sunday morning to put up the mail in the lock boxes.
 The Sunday closing idea is meet ing with favor wherever it is propos ed and would doubtless have been inaugurated long ago but for the pre- judice of the department against in novations Where it has been tried 1t has worked out all right and before

MINES
 REPORTED ACTIVE
Gold Queen Will Be Developed By an Operating
 Company

A revival of mining activity is re ported from the CouTtland district. The Gold Queen property, staked of by cowboys and cattlemen during the gold strike of Courtland. will be developed. t is reported. by an oper ating company, the latter having en tered into an agreement with the owners of the property to sink three hundred feet, to install a 20 ton cyan ide mill and to do other develop menf work
 The property. which on discovery seemed to promise much. has not been developed by the owners 10 any great extent.
 It is also reported that the Lead vile property may reopen soon and the Great Western is looking up on account of new ores being found. The news of contemplated and ned development work at Courtland has done much to infuse encourage ment into that section
