Bisbee.

When Father Time. chiseling away
through the aeons. succeeded in cutting
deep slit in the Mule Pass noun
tains he probably had no idea that he
was laying out townsite where was
destined to be built a sort of Pitts
burgh of the wastes But in his eXca-
vations he laid bare ledge of rock
that showed the green stains of cop
per, and man in his wanderings saw
the stains. And there he built city.
1t was in Arizona near the Mexican
border and he called it Bisbee.
A rock-ribbed trough in the noun
tains has its disadvantages as a site
for a city. but it also possesses char
acteristics that are peculiar and inter-
esting. AS might be expected, the
main street here winds tortuously up
the bottom of the canyon and is not
very wide. The business houses crowd
in upon it and are built into the noun
tainside. Dormitories and cottages
and shacks straggle away for miles up
every side canyon. The solemn hills
tower beetlingly above these Graded
habitationS of man.
But canyon beds were of insufficient
capacity ocontain the population
needed in the great plant whose bust
ness it was to produce a big share of
the wire that conveys the messages Of
the world of the shells that kill it's
choicest sons, the pennies with which
it buys it's papers. the bronze that per-
petuates it's heroes.
The houses climbedthe percipitous
sides of the canyon. Maybe 1T was pos
sble to build a terrace of sufficient
width to allow narrow roadway. More
likely only ii trail could be laid up
which the residents might Chamber.
Often long flights of ladders were the
only approach to coy, cottages which
chung Ike lchens to the rock wall.
The high lines of the town were
often not reached by the waterworks
system, and to these clambered dom
keys laden with canvas bags filled
with water and slung across their

Day and night the great shafts yield
the ore from the bowels of the earth.
AS ceaselessly the smelters extract the
copper and discard the Stag.
This Stag. through the decades. has
been dumped into the canyon below the
town. There it has formed an ever
growing delta on level with the
mouth of the mine A donkey engine
Stag from the smelters over a narrow
railroad that is constructed along the
brink\of the delta.
When night has come one may skirt
the canyon side that leads around this
Stag mountain that has been built by
the mine. Far below the town he may
watch the tiny trains creep out to it's
brink. There workman of the night
pulls a lever and the cars turn on
their sides. releasing their molten rock

it's crevices, cascading over its preci

volcano upon the villages that slum-
bered at its base. 1t is the nightly
display of the fire that is burning in
the breast of a little town as it per
forms a service to world that knows
cot of its existence.

LAST OF THE EMDEN.
Romantic Exploit of a Remnant of
the Cruisers Crew.
From the Manchester Guardian.

From the Manchester Guardian.
The news from Berlin Of the arrival
in Arabia of the remnants of the En-
denis crew is the finishing touch to an
adventure well in keeping with the
general history of the famous Germa n
commerce raider. When the Emden
was caught by the Sydney off Cocos
Island November 8. she put out to meet
the Sydney without taking on board
again the landing party which had
been put ashore to wreck the cable
station. BY the time the Emden had
formally surrendered and several res
cues had been made of isolated mem
bers of her crew who had taken to the
water night was falling and it was too
late for the Sydney to get into commu-
nication with the cable station. When
she did so on the next day her captain
learned that the Emden's landing party
of forty men and three officers had
made vigorous use of the delay. They
had seized and provisoned a seventy
ton schooner, the Ayesha, and escaped
in her the previous evening with four
Maxfms and a modest but useful ana
mount OF ammunition for them. There
was material here for a fine adventure
after the heart of a seafaring novelist,
and 1t has been pretty well fulfilled in
fact The cable operators vowed that
1t would be a short one, asserting that
the Ayesha was leaking when she was
seized and would take her captors to
the bottom with her before they got
very far. But she did not sink-per-
haps the resourceful crew repaired her
on their voyage-and in three weeks
she was laying in stores at Padang, a
straight $50 miles away, on the coast
of Sumatra. This was November %.

In the Berlin message, the Ayesha has
made her way in four months across at
least 400 miles Of the Indian ocean.
reaching the Arabian coast at the bot
tom of the Red sea March 81. Presum-
ably the intention of her crew was
then to march inland to the nearest

But their adventures were by no means
