Colorado Is Arizona's lode star the state 1t will initiate. Colorado methods are best liked. Do We appreciate what school to the world our matchlcss common wealth has become? For tenacfy. th1roughness, experiment, economic handling. breadth of effort, the Colo radan leads all. Nothing too difficult. nothing too great for his ambition. so much that has passed his scrutiny. so much accomplished before his eyes. he Is equipped as but few are for whatev- CT may come up. Will Colorado handle this exhaustless Arizona copper and mineral wealth. or will it go to the southwest. via Fl Paso? Throughout this vast zone. so wonderfully mineral ized. copper is the universal base, and depth brings the invariable sulphide, rich in fuel elements.

 Large as Lake. Eagle. Pitkln and Garfield counties of Colorado this county is rich in metal contains the Black hills. Bradshaws. Big Bug Sen ator and Granite ranges. and is capa- ble of tall figures in mineral way. It has. until the last great drought, been a grand stock raising and ranch country. but for four or five years unbroken ex- cept by light showers. have Drowned the hills. denuded the valleys, dried out the water courses. forced stock out of the country. The Verde and Agua Fria rivers have remained the sole flowing streams
 There Is great variety to the ores of this northern county, some of the most precious and sparse, copper in evidence everywhere, gold throughout the traps and porphyriss, silver in the lime. and lead and iron in the porphyry- lime contacts. In the black hills the copper ores occurs in veins capped by iron, in width up to 300 feet or more, closely associated with silicious and chloritic states, with schist and shale occurring between dikes and porphyry and trap, intersected by zones of dorite. the

 Shallow sinking in the iron brings copper sulphide, along with glance, peacock. and there are exposures of malachite, azurite, soft green carbon- ates red and black oxide, and black metallic copper in thin bands Gold and silver occur with the copper in varying quantity and depth. the highest grade gold in slips in the sulphide copper ore or with the iron hematite following the walls. The highest silver comes with the green carbonates. or where lime influences are most apparent.

 WATER EVERYWHERE NOW.
 The best stimulus to Arizona is the storm-snow in the mountains, rain in the valleys. almost continuous from January 1 until now. Every fold, crev- ice, channel. spring. well. water hole,
