also to have a much more extensive

becker feels very optimistic about the
future of Tombstone and in this has
the company of others of his town.
"The fact that we are offered elect ric
light and power service by the con

strong indication of the fact that k has
sufficiently advanced with its investi
gation of the old Consolidated Mines
properties, which it now owns, to feel
confident that there is a long period of
profitable work ahead We of Tomb
stone have always felt that such would
be proven to be the case just as soon as
mining ability and abundant funds be
came interested in the camp, and we
are more confident of it than ever.
Tombstone has much growth in mining
activity and population ahead. She is
going to "come back" with a vengeance.
Watch us grow." Bisbee Ore.
Shannon Co. Will
Resume Operations
NEW YORK. Jan. 31. Orders were
issued from the headquarters of the
Shannon Copper Company here to the
manager of its property at Clifton, Ari
zona to resume operations at once in
at once in both mine and smelter. The
property has been closed down 'for the
past three months on account of the
low price of capper.
The company has over 1,000 men in
its employ when in full operation. The
future prospect of tie copper industry
is quite encouraging as the metal has
shown a steady increase for the past
few weeks.
The outlook for the resumption of
tbt Shannon Copper 'company's mines
at Gleeson is now brighter than ever
and it can only be a matter of time
when a large force of men will be en
gaged in delving for the precious metals
f that district.

Huachuca Pipe Line
Is Out Again
The storm which swept down on Co
chise county brought another flood
Saturday down the San Pedro river
and did a considerable amount of dam
age. A bank of Water eight feet high
struck the pipe line of the Huachuca
Water Company at the San Pedro
crossing and pulled the pipe out of the
1 exbansion joint at that point and al
though the extent of the damage is not
known it is not thought it will require
as much expense or time to get the line
running again. Manager Gardner
states' that it is not the intention of the
company to shut the town down to a
short supply each day until the repairs
are completed but he believes that with
care on the part of the users and the fact
that everything is soaked that the sup
ply in the reservoir will hold out until
the repairs are completed. He also stat
ed that this thing will probably hap
pen at each flood, should any more.
come, until the dry season when the
line at that point will be put down like
it was originally and it was twenty five
years before any trouble was experienc.
ed at that point.
Benson Signal on
County Seat Removal
"-
The biennial county seat removal bill
has bobbed up again in the legislature,
with an emegency clause attached to it.
This county' has not yet advanced to
the poiut where it is neccessary, to the
masses thereof, to either divide the co
unty or remove the county seat for
economically transacting the public
business. The scheme is simply to force
the divison of the county on a compro
mise so as to provide a certain set of
Douglas and Bisbee politicians with
lucrative official positions disregarding
the pockets of the taxpayers entirely.

No. 51, by Lanxford, of Greenlee
; amends Section -401 of the revised
statutes and provides tnat boards of
1 supervisors shall meet at their resiec
1 tive county seats on the first Monday
I in June next preceding a genera! elec.
i tion for state and county officials and i .
j divide their several counties into thne
1 supervisorial districts as nearly equal
j as possible in area, considering popula
I tion and assessed valuation. Such re.
districting is to be voted upon by the

less than two weeks nor more than 3U
days after such action. Should the re
j districting plan be approved by a ma
jority vote the county shall thereafter
elect supervisors from such districts.
I The bill, it w ill be seen, does away with
I the "at large" elections of supervisors
; and practically applies the ward sys-
tern to county affairs, giving each dis
trict its own representative on the
county board.

Bowie Bank Was
"Talked to Death"
PHOENIX, Feb. 3 Because the
Bowie Bank and Trust Company was
"talked to death" and a run was being;
made on the institution. Cashier G. J.
Armstrong, locked the safe, closed the
bank building and took the next train
for El Paso. The reasons for thc sud
den closing of the institution were set
forth in a letter from Armstrong to
State Auditor J. C. Callaghan yester
day. In his letter Armstrong says that the
bank was one of the strongest in the
state, but that enemies of the institu
tion circulated reports as to its condi
tion. Heavy withdrawals, which prac
tically amounted to a run on Friday,
followed. In view of these circum
stances Armstrong said, he thought
that the best thing to do was to close
the bank and leave town. Armstrong:
said nothing in his letter as to whether
or not he expected to return to Bowie.
Deputy State Auditor James B. Or
mond and Assistant Attorney General
George Harben are at Bowie, and are
investigating I lie condition of the bank.
While no statement has been issued as
yet. Deputy Ormond, in a telephone
message to Auditor Callaghan yester
day said that he thought that the de
positors were well protected, and that
the affairs of the institution would be
adjusted without serious loss.
"The suspensions in this case is are
due entirely to local circumstances and
do not in any way reflect banking con-
ditions in the state. ' said Auditor Cal-
.ltghan yesterday
