has become more than a whisper
The fans are beginning to pay at

Back before the days of the Cactus

the cities of the southwest and some

have gone higher up into the fast

TO revive the practice of past years
and to hold such a tournament in BIS

here the team could go to the state
Fair and it is possible that Tucson
might also hold a tournament
The lesson of the Cactus league has
not been forgotten II was made
clear then that a salaried team could

not desired TO import many players
but il is thought that four or five
players. of whom two are pitchers
would amply suffice. This would give

1t is said that Douglas would also
strengthen up, that Tucson would not
need to do much padding and that
Cananea can always be depended on
to have the making of strong aggre-

As to the Strengthening of the pro

PROSPERITY SHOWN
BY WAGE INCREASE
Good Labor Scarce; Work
for More; Commercial
Club Monthly Meet

While FL Paso trade boosters win
be welcomed to Bisbee when they ar
rive on September IL 1t is not likely
that any special arrangements will be
made for their reception by the Com
mercial club, certainly no action will
be taken by the club until officially
notified and the only notification any
member of the board has had is the
newspaper articles In the FL Paso
papers. The matter was brought up
before the meeting of the directors
last night and discussed. The opinion
was voiced that most OF the visitors
! would have customers here whom
they would want to call upon and that
nothing in the way OF entertainment
was required since the party were
coming for the benefit of their own
trade with the merchants of the city,
just as do commercial travellers on
their regular trips.
II any reason shall develop for so
doing the club may decide TO hold a
smoker but the visit of Los Angeles
trade expansionists to this city Is still
remembered without satisfaction by
local business men.
The proposition of having printed a
map OF the Borderiand route was an
other matter that was discussed last
evening. No definite action was tax
en- until further recommendations
shall have been made by the good
roads committee. The club would
have to make itself responsible for a
bill OF at least SIS for the printing OF
one Of the two proposed maps
Announcement of the increases of
wages to underground workers of
twenty-five cents per day was made
at the meeting and brought satisfac-
ton to all and belief that real pros
perity was being enjoyed generally.
In connection with this matter the
board was informed that there had
never been time when good labor
was scarcer in the district than at
this time. In one working of the
C. and A. mines twenty men are much
needed and machines are idle in some
instances for lack Of operatives.
The report Of the secretary relative
to the listing OF mining claims was
endorsed and given hearty approval
as enc Of the best moves undertaken
by the club.
