Activity in Districts Close to Historic Town Adds to Optimism of

tCorrespOnQent to The ReView) COCHISE, Ariz, Dec 26.-This town is perhaps one of the most iu- terest.ng from a historical standpoint on the Southern Pacific railroad be- tween Tucson and El Paso. Commer- cially it may be said to be a branch Of Wilcox, as n. A. Morgan of the latter place owns the principal store in Cochise. The town now consists of three stores. two hotels and one saloon; a man who arrived here to- day from Clifton was unable to lO- cate a barber shop. Everyone here now is optimistic over the increased activity in the nearby mining camps. Johnson camp is shipping ore from this station to the reduction works ln Fl Paso and Douglas every day. Besides the ore loaded here the JOhh- soh district is loading considerable ore at Dragoon station, eight miles west and on the summit of the Dra- gOon range.
 This town was first located as side track where the first ore was loaded for market from the Common wealth mine at Pearce. This prop eTty yielded millions to Senator Pen rose and his associates in the state og Pennsylvania, who bought the property from the Pearce brothers who originally located it, having dis covered one on the surface when running cattle on the :a1gs-

Recalling the Recall.


 The latest attention to Cochise was on account Of an experiment with the recall, that so called peoples savior incorporated in the Arizona constl- tuition. The recall was attemtped on the constable here who had become obnoxious because of his energy in forcing the payment of debts nut into his hands for collection. A recall petition was signed by a sufficient number of voters to put the constable up before the recall tribunal; the De- tition was filed with the board of su- pervisoTs. The board hesitated about ordering the recall election and it leaked out that Cochise precinct would probably be abolished The consta- ble was not idle and brought suit against the signers Of the recall pc tiuon for S25000 damages. This opened the eyes Of this precinct 10 the fact that the recall was set like the negroes bear trap, to catch em comin and a gyen-' This realization of the double qualities of the recall quickly brought a second petition 10 the board of supervisors recalling the recall. The damage suit is still in NNlhAt Az k2eAAAAAAANlAA lH Nlh lAN-u nt8t tt5 to the efficiency of the constable, bu. it is acknowledged that he put one over on those who attempted to re move his official scalp. Under the redistricting Of the county the Co chise precinct is to be obliteTated and this may end the political strife here. However, the wiping out of the Co- chise precinct is not approached here, as the precinct officials draw tha largest salaries in Cochise.
