 tains we svpect to get some big game, as Captain Greenway has informed
 me that there are some splendid mountain sheep there"
 Captain Greenway always registers at hotels as being from Warren. On
 the other hand Bisbee people say he is from Bisbee. The truth of the mat
 ter is that Captain Greenway does live at Warren, which is only a resi- dence section of Bisbee to all intents and purposes.
 Why shouldn't register from War ren?" he asked. We have a fine Tt tls town, no better in the state"
 Captain Greenway was dressed in an outing costume but a red bandana handkerchief in his pocket identified him as a Bull Mooser. The captain was one of the Arizona delegates 10 the Progressive convention at Chi cago.

As it was he basked in it for several hours and said that il was the finest winter weather he ever saw
 We are continuing our develop ment work at Ajo and at Superior and are sinking a three-compartment shaft at the latter place.

 There have been frequent rumors of late that the C. and A. was pre- pairing to consolidate with other prop, critics. but MT. Greenway said that all this talk was mere surmise. as noth- ing had been given out. It was in 'erred from his reply that there might have been basis for the rumOrs.
