 Mesa is assuming a very metTopol- aan air with it's tall rows of electric light poles on either side of Main street. Some people say that it's past prosperity is mainly due to the facts that A. J. Chandler was spending great deal Of money on his water sys- sem and that Goldfield came to Mesa for it's supply of provisions and freight. These people further say shat Mesa must new decline, as MT Chandler has spent his money on canal systems that will never have water enough in them to be of any benefit, and that Goldfeld has shut down in definitely and that there are no mines there anyway. This may be true; Mesa may not have water enough around it. but if Goldfeld furnished so substantial resource, how about Giobe? Push the good road through .o Globe and the metropolitan air will nsver forsake the little city of Mesa, Sut will continue to becOme more ziyid.
