Joe Chisholm, the well known news
paper correspondent, now of Miami,
but formerly among the old timers at
Bisbee, has been soiourning at Tomb
stone for two weeks, where he was
called as a witness in the Cunning
ham Costello lawsuit. Mr.. Chisholm
wrote the following to the Globe Rec
ord which should be good for a meal
ticket as long as he desires to remain
in the historic city:
Individually Tombstone. once the
proud metropolis of Arizona, is a sub
ject that never pals on the scenes Of
Hassayampers. and must forsooth fur
uish much of the glamour of pioneer
days for the newcomer to Apache
land The correspondent has known
the old city through thirty-four years
of romantic boom days aad years of
depression, and was pleasantly sur
prsed upon stepping OF the train the
other day to find Tombstone once AL
gain prosperous. Its mines are again
employing hundreds of workers, its

of the best known folks of the south
west, many OF whom are here as wit
nesses or principals in what the Tomb

million dollar case, that of Patrick

The Phelps Dodge people have pur-

once marked the wealth producing

three hundred miles from a railroad
in few months, are now to be work

methods that are the marvel Of todays
mining industry, and made to contri-

Phelps Dodge syndicate. 1t is expert
