 Later developments have shown how
 unerring was the judgment of MT.
 Douglas. In 1885 the interests of the
 Copper Queen company were cOnS0li-
 dated with those of Phelps, Dodge o5 Co. and the Copper Queen Consolidated
 Mining company came into existence,
 with James Douglas as it's president
 Messrs. Lewis and Ben Williams re-
 tsining their respective positions as
 a-ith the old company. Better trans pnTt2ticn facilities were now Heces- sary to adequately supply the wants of the rapidly growing copper camp. In 1888 the company built the Arizona 1 Southeastern railroad, connecting at Fairbanks. thirty-siX miles northwest Of Risbee with the New Mexico 65 Ari- zCra line.

 COPPER SHIPMENTS.
 The high price of copper has stimu- lated ore shipments, which mostly go tc Silver City, N. NJ, and Fl PaSo, Tex, the railroads having made favorable rates to both points. Besides the Live Oak company. HigdOn & Haverly are shipping ore from the Black Copper mine; F. r: Childers has sent several carloads to Silver City and D. R. Will Hanson and w. B. Collom are making shipments of Salena ere to the Fl Paso smelteI.
 GLOBE FORGING TO THE FRONT.
 Globe is advancing rapidly and every succeeding month sees more money in circulation. The pay rolls of the cwO big copper companies last month amounted to about $75 000. General business is good, and the town is grow ing rapidly in population. and the prediction is likely to be realized soon CT than any one expected, that Globe will become one of the largest and most prosperous mining towns in the south west
 The Gila Valley, Globe and Northern railroad is the chief promoter of Globes growth and prosperity, and the efforts Of President William Garland, whose energy and tCnacity the building cf the road was accomplished, are thoroughly appreciated by those concerned in the prosperity Of Globe and the surrounding country.

THE PHOENIX SHORT LINE

The MaricOpa & Phoenix and Salt River Valley railway, famiIiaTly known as the Phoenix Short Line was con- 1 structed in 1887 and opened for bnsi- ness on the fourth day of July Of that year, giving the already famous Salt River valley an outlet to the outside
 world via Maricopa and the Southern
 Pacific railroad In December, 1895, an eight mile extension was made from Tempe to Mesa City This branch taps
 the richest and most productive DOT tiOn Of MaricOpa county. The remark able and iii some respects wonderful Salt River valley is receiving the at
 tention it unquestiona6ly deserves. It is the most conspicuous instance that we have of how it is possible to trans form a barren desert into an Eden
 Originally it had nothing of outward appearance to redeem it, being as void Of vegetation and other forms of life. except the rank growth along the rivers edge, as is possible for the sur face Of the earth to be It took consid- e.ab.e courage to build a line to the small town of Phoenix over a barren ground and with two rivers to cross that nccessitated the building of eX- penslve bridges; but it was under taken and accomplished by MT. N. K.
 he-SIS1l Cl ottu T TdHCISCO, WHO IS SLill the president of the line. The road suffered serious losses in 1890 when the high waters of the Salt river took away half the Tempe bridge. Again in 1891 that bridge was washed away entirely, and new bridge Of nine spans, each one hundred and fifty feet long, was built At the same time the Gila river bridge, then five hundred and fifty feec long, was washed away and the en- cToachments on either side necesstated the building of new bridge twenty seven hundred and fifty feet long. The cost Of rebuilding these bridges and the continued expense while not in op- eratiOn, was immense, and was q blow from which the road is just recovering. The lines greatest source of revenue is from its shipments of hay and fat cattle. Close connection is made with all the limited and regular transcon-

As to the possibilities of the next decade, there are some who p1cPhesy 1t will bring 2 Greater Bisbee with a population Cf ten thousand, which wilt includs suburban villages that will spring Vp around other sue CessfuI mines in this vicinity. while there are others who assert that all the mineral hand of bny value was long since brought within the Copper Queen cOmpany's lines, From present indications Q strong effort will be made to prove the latter view incorrect. The success of the Copper Queen company il. this district has in the last year or two melted to action speculative cap ita! from which has evolved the Cop per King, the CO:hise, the S0uth Bis bee and the LnWe1 and Arizona com panies, all of which are doing prospect work on thsir respective claims.

 Bisbae of today is prosperous city of over 5000 inhabitants. The people are progressive, being principally Of the thrifty class of toilers who left the homes of their childhood when 2ml'i- ton led them to seek a more profitable field of labor. The distribution Of say one hundred thousand dollars monthly by the Copper Queen Consolidated Min ing company, besides items f.om other sources which find currency here, makes it possible for all such business enterprises as usually arise within prosperous community to flourish. Thus we have stores, shops, brick and lumber yards; in short, all the ,equire- m2nts fer a live trading cente~.

CASTLE CREEK HOT SPRINGS.
An Unfailing Stream of Hot Medici-
 nal Water.

The tourist in Arizona should not fail to visit the Castle Creek Hot Springs.
 Although he may be a globe trotter, | he will experience sensations at these springs that will come to him at no other health resort in the world. Here he will find delicious climate, superb mountain scenery, a cozy hotel with superior accommodations and one Of the most remarkable swimming pools in existence
 There are many hot springs in the world, but in no other cline is there an open-air pool, fed by unfailinS streams of hct, medicinal water, where one may bathe at any hour of any day in the year without fear of taking cold.
 This pool, fashioned by Nature in the midst of towering peaks, lies about quarter of a mile above the hotel. l. has almost perpendicular walls on three sides, and the blue Arizona sky for a covering. It is large enough for a comfortable swim. Into it pour un ceasing streams of water at uniform temperature of IA degrees. So dry and pure is the climate that one nay enter this pool at any hour of the day, winter or summer, with absolute i'm punity.
 While the hotel is equipped with modern bathing appliances, most Of the visitors to this mountain resort prefer to take their baths in the pool because of the unique experience it affords. One emerges from the water, after five or ten minutes stay, with wonderful feeling of exhilaration.
 The springs are noted for the relief they give to sufferers from rheumatism. or gout, or nervous diseases. The chief components of the water are soda, silica, iron and lime.
 The Castle Creek Hot Springs arc 2,30O feet above sea level. They lie in a spur of the Bradshaw mountains. twenty-five miles east of Hot Springs Junction, on the s. F. P. & P. railroad. A fine mountain road has lately been constructed and stages make the jour ney in about four hours.
 One may leave Phoenix in the even ing. stay over night at the comfortable hotel at the junction and reach the springs in good time for luncheon. Once there, surrounded by all the con- forts of a first-class hostelry, with an attractive mountain region to explore, with good horses, good shooting and the finest weather in the world, the tourist is certain to find much enjoy ment.

 utilization in her principal mines dur

 lively scanty supply of that class or

The United Verde deposits are lenticular masses in slate, and, there fore, atmospheric agencies, not having De1et~ated to great depth, the copper though rich, were shal- low. and were exhausted early lh the mines history. This company, Incre- fore, has for years relied exclusively on altered or unaltered heavy sulphur cts which have been heap roasted pre- paratory to mating.
 'sBut in the Bisbee and Cllfton groups there remain resources ot oXl- dized ores sufficient, by mixture with the sulphurets, to make matte o' Bessemerizing grade for years to come The carbonates. however, even. lH these mines, exist in quantities so much less than the sulphurets that the are impelled by caution to restrain their operations within moderate bounds if they would post bone as long as possible the evil day when roasting must be resorte1 to. greater freedom of ac- rion was obtained as soon as the com panies which coltrol these groups If mines decided to handle the sulphur cts that had been developed during the exploitation of the oXidized ores, and which have been since exposed.
 "The resources in sulphurets arc, ct course, far greater than the visible supply of carbonates ever was, and. therefore, the Copper Queen, the Ari- zona Copper and the Detroit companies III felt emboldened to extend the scope )f the mining and smelling.
