Anyone knowing anything about the use of perniciOus forms ot matches in the city will please com. municate his information to Mayor Newman.

ALL IS QUIET ABOUT z ANCIENT MOCTEzUMA
Little in the Way of Dis turbances Reported
 in Sonora

F. '. Borgeson. of the Lampasas silver mines, arrived in the city yes terday from the Moctezuma district Of Sonora. He says that with che exception of a few minor raids by bandits. the country is quiet around Moctezuma and NacozaTi, and tEat there is apparently no anti-American feeling in that part of the lower re- public. The reported raid of the Churunubabi store by 8 party of ban dits. as reported in a Douglas news paper, was greatly exaggerated and misrepresented. All that the band took was food for one meal, he says.
 The sinking of the main tunnel at the Lampasas mine has progressed to a depth o;. sixty feet. Mir. Borge- son says. As soon as a hundred feet is reached, the first level will be es- tahlshed, and four other tunnels, 10 be started soon, will connect with 1t. A ledge of gold and silver ore from 9 to 90 feet wide and known to be 300 feet long. has been en- countred and the ore assays from $15 to $40 per ton. Mir. BOrgeson says that by October I, the Lampasas will be taking out about fifteen tons daily and shipping to the Douglas smelter.

 COCHISE DELEGATION
County Representation at Phoenix Thought to
 Have Axe to Grind

Determined efforts probably will be made by the COchise members of the legislature 10 have a bill passed providing that that portion Of the state highway system between Yuma and Phoenix traverse the south side Of the Gils river as far as Buckeye, says the Democrat
 The interest the Cochise county legislators are taking in this mat. ter is accounted for by the fact that a number of their continents have invested in land and irrigation pro. jects along the lower Gila. Over SlO0,O00 it is claimed has been in. vested by Bisbee people between Gila and Yuma. Some have installed pumping plants All have valuable land which they expect 10 irrigate by pumping it from the Gila.
 These land owners desire that their district be trayersed by a good road. There is already a road, little more than trail. between Gila Bend and Yuma. south of the Gila. For the last two or three years, however, no suggestion has been heard that the state road pass anywhere on the north of the Gila. by Dome, the Dome mine and Arlington. 1t seems to have been taken for granted that the state road would be on the north side.
 The COchiss lawmakers claim, how ever. that there is really no reason why the road should be on the north of the Giia for there it passes through nothing but desert, which can never te Irrigated. There is practically no population between Dome and Arling- ton. On the other hand there are hundreds of people living on the south side

TRIO RARE
 TREAT FUR MUSICAL
Performance Last Night Is of Particular Excellence
 and Delights

Once in a long while the music lovers of Bisbee have a chance to hear artists in concert work, and such was the case last night. The 1orn-Gluck-lyimey trio gay var jed and interesting program and thoroughly pleased their audience Miss Lilly Dorn, soprano, captivated her hearers with her perfectly trained 'o'ss. She sang a number of Ger man songs. but especially pleasing were her songs in English. The songs. ~Wynken, Blynken and Nod" "Sayonara, and April" were writ ten and dedicated to Miss Dorn. and she sang them with great expression She is a German, and sings with greater ease in her native tongue. though her pronunciation Of the Eng fish was remarkably good.
 Miss Margel Gluck, the violinist, played the Sonata in A Major by Handel, and displayed to advantage her wonderful skill. She also played several short selections. the "Vien- nese Caprice being especially well received. She played with remarka- ble esse difficult passasges. and showed her complete mastery Of the violin. The work of Miss Iyimey deserves much praise. As an accom- panist, also, she showed her art in the varied repertoire. and by request she played a solo, 'Golliwogg's Cake Walk by Debussy. This was an un- usual number, and she P-ayed with such skill that an encore was called for.
 Those who failed 10 hear the con cert last night missed a rare musical treat. and Bisbee is to be coneratt lated for having such artists visit the city

For Sal1o,U. Blotchy,
 Rough or Greasy Skin
(From woman's TrIbune.) )

Some skins require constant groom ing to keep them from becoming oily. muddy, blotchy or rough. or if such condition has developed, to overcome it. In such chronic cases 1t Is par ticularly inadvisable to keep piling on cosmetics which clog the pores, collect dust and drt--especially In warm weather-making the complexion worse than ever. It's lot more sensible to use ordinary mercoliyed wax, which lit- erally absorbs a bad complexion Ap- ply the wax like cold cream before retiring: next morning in washing 1t off. youll wash away fine, flour like particles of the unsightly cuticle. Re- peat for week or more and you'll have an entirely new skin--soft. sat iny. spotless and beautiful as a child's s. Ono ounce of mercolized wax. procur- able at any druggists. is all you'll need.
 If the skin be wrinkled or flahby. here's the best possible remedy: Mix E pint witch hazel and 1 ounce pow dered saxolite and use as a face bath. It works like miracle, yet is entirely harmless.
