Editor George A. Newett of Iron Ore. Ishpeming. Mich. a guest here the last several weeks at the Copper Queen hotel and during that time a close observer of things in the district, writes at length in the current issue of his publication concerning Bisbee. It is all very entertainly and truthful ly told, with a pleasing dash Of or ieinality throughout that is very re freshing. Mir. Newett has the follow ing to say:
 It is always a pleasure to visit Bis bee. It's people are of the kind that impress you with the feeling that you are welcome. In this respect II may not be unlike other mining camps, all being noted for their genuine hospital ity, but the Bisbee population is ht' tie Inherently made up from any oth' er with which we come in contact u rms well up in intelligence. and 1t halls largely from those places that stand high in loyalty and independ' dence. In other words: they are ol our kind: SO that VIC at once Feel at home and comfortable. And we ma Blsbee. every man, woman and child being firm in their conviction Of It's superiority in any of the things 1t IS dcng CT contemplating. It IS thls which greatly aids in making good town. a spirit that many other com munities would do well to adopt.
 Bisbee has improved greatly in the last two years, and its progress ar chitectdrelly is noticeable, many new homes of neat design being seen. And homes and other buildings are not SC easily constructed as in many other places due to the peculiar location ol the town, it occupying a narrow, deer canyon in the mountains. Room h gained not only by following tho course of the canyon, but by rising uI on it's sides. the latter being no gentle slope. but a good, stif angle from the horizontal. Places for buildings ar' often made by blasting out rock, botl tedious and expensive, so that in go ing through the canyon one sees sue ceeding tiers of dwellings located or irregularly run streets, and often or no street at all. stairways or trails, as they are often locally termed, con meeting with the other.
 We watch with interest the worl for the foundation of what is to b when fnfiished. a large-sized. finely equipped high school building.
