GAIN SHOWN
 IN CHILDREN
Census Now About COnclud- ed Will Enroll More Than 2500 of School Age in This District
CITY IS GROWING FAST

An additional proof of the fact that Bisbee is growing steadily will be forthcoming shortly in the filing of the report of School Census Marshal l. G. Pritchard. Mir. Pritchard has so far counted few more than 2JO0 children of school age in the district, l and he is not yet quite through with his work.
 The previous census showed 2345 children of school age in the district, | a fact that makes 1t certain that the census now being taken will show gain of at least 15O children. This gain represents a handsome percentage in growth of population and also points to another important fact in that it shows that the increase iIl population is including a great many men with families
 In taking the census Mr. Pritchard has had opportunity to arrive at the exact number of vacant houses of all kinds in Bisbee. Lowell, Warren and Don Luis. There are just 4S of thesc,i with only a few in such condition to permit of occupation and all located disadvantageously. This finding is one that assuredly gives backing for the statement that the district is much in need of many more modern cottages and houses for the accommodation of it's constantly growing population re flected in increased bank deposits, larger pOstoffice business and general ] ly better conditions all along the line Large trading during the present week is anticipated by every merchant l in the city. reason being given For this expectation in the splendid trade . enjoyed throughout the district during I the last week Both pay days were ] highly satisfactory in the amount o' money put in circulation, the latter was not as large, at thaC, as on the | previous day, for both the C. & A. and | Shattuck were working fewer men. | because of the shelter at Douglas be- | ing unable to get away with the usual | amount of ore. The smeIter trouble, ! due to the construction work going 1 on. was disposed of on Sunday last | aI.d the mines immediately increased their shipments The Sfattuck put | back 50 men and increase was also made iG C. & A. workings. The next | pay day in consequence will see more | money paid out by considerable than was distributed this time,
 Helping with increased trading is the fact that spring Is sconsidered here to stay. Also the weather has been much more favorable for shop ping and has been taken advantage Of. 1 Among merchants the belief is held that their dull season is now over and that from this time on there win I be heavy trading.
 The stores of the district were ney. CT in better form to take care of the needs of the people than they are right now. In>sll lines they are well stocked with fresh new goods, and lots of them. Attractive arrangement of these along with plenty Of variety in style and quality remove the 1 last possible excuse for the resident of the district doing his trading any where except at home, where he car buy as oheaply as he can abroad and ; at the same time kIOw thG; the man he purchases from is a fixtures in the district, ready 10 be reached at al times and naturally eager to make good any discrepancy that may bC found to exist
 An important feature Of the pay days for the present week was tha' a very large portion Of the money
 went into bank deposits. Inquiri among the banks of the distric
 brought out the statement that tn, amount of money withdrawn betweeI the last pay days was very small in fact, surprisingly so, and that thi' 2 lsaI To a Ral by the deposits from pay checks O the week.
 That spring building activities vii soon be in full swing and that the! wiii bring d large amount of new in
 dustTy is plainly indicated in move ments or the last week. during whiel
 several new houses were started il
 the district and great deal of sprin, time repairing. painting etc. got under
 way. Every reason exists for the be
 lief that this activity is but the fore
 runner of the largest activity in housi
 building a little later along that th
 district has ever known.
 Meantime real estate vslues in tn l district are advancing and It is cor sidered safe view by real estat
 men that Warren district realty vii hnever again sell as low as it is sellin
 now. Nor is there any quarter of tn district where investment in lots
 not considered certain of bringin
 Lack excellent returns. With tn
 greatly increased population that Bi

 ing to be no locality in the distriC
 where home building is feasible ths
