 Mrs, Mckay is a native of Colorado. She was born in Idaho Springs of that state and came to Bisbee in 1905. She has resided consistently here since that time and has always taken great intsrest in politics. She was an ardent worker for the amendment fav- bring woman suffrage and is progress sive in her ideas.
 During Mrs. McKay's residence in the Warren District she has been in business for five years of the time and has an exceedingly wide acquaint- ance. Her husband is a hoisting en-
