AIR COMPRESSOR FOR WATER WORKS IS
 INSTALLED AT WELL

The new air compressor which was recently purchased by the city coun- cil was tested out yesterday and proved eminently satisfactory. A boiler has been purchased from the Bisbee- -Naco Water company which will be used as an air receiver. It was placed in position yesterday and will be immediately connected with the compressor. The council has also purchased a hoisting engine and 500 feet Of cable to be used to sink the well.
 The engine will arrive in a few days and will immediately be placed in position. The gallows frame is al ready framed and is ready for erec- ton. The city council proposes to sink the well to a depth of 300 feet and connect the churn drill holes by drifting in an effort to develop q larger supply of water for the city fire system. This is the most impor- tant piece of work that the present council has done during their term of office.

COMPLETE RETURNS IN FROM COUNTY ON
 THE BOND ELECTION

The complete returns of the road bond election have been received and show that a total vote of 2232 was cast for the bonds, ana 764 votes against the issue. An analysis of the vote shows that the bonds carried in all but four precincts of the county, those of Wilcox, 14 for and S5 against; Bowie, 97 against; San Simon, 6 for and 99 agains; Light, 6 for and 7S against. The other precincts which were not published before were Paradise, for and against; Turner, II for and against. The northern part of the county in the vicinity of Wilcox, Bowie and San Simon made the complaint that it was the auto owners of Bisbee and Douglas that were trying to slip the bond issue over because they wanted the paved road from Bisbee to Douglas, but the re- turns show that they were mistaken and that the mass of citizens through the county wanted the bond issue to carry. Taking out the votes of Bisbee, Warren, Don Luis, Douglas and Pir- tleville from the balance of the county, the issue would then have carried by a vote of 622 to 465. In order that the entire vote recorded in the election may be kept for future reference by the Review readers, the vote of all the precincts is published in a tabulated statement below:
