 the Southwest Miners .sOCiatiOn, rc-
 turned to Los Angel s a few days ago
 from d two we ks trip in the mining
 amps and towns of the northern and
 central portions 1f Arizona. To rep
 res ntative of the Mining Revi w who
 Interviewed him about what he had
 sccD and learnel during it. Colonel
 Ewing said:
 Arizona i, beyond douLt, the com
 ing mining country Tn fact is.
 those psopl down there are at work.
 they have turned from some of their
 old ways. and are awake to the fact
 that to recure Cautal they must Gst
 out and rustic. as well as prepare their
 prospects and mining property. that
 they nay be inviting and attractive te capitalists. The r suit of tni.t nov
 ment is that Arizona Is going way ahead Of all the surrounding country Capitalists are seak,nG Investments in
 her gold and copper mines and you can
 find their rC9resentativ everyWh h re. The reacon for this is that the work of the past two years has developed many properties to a considerable depth and in places t) 2 great depth, and confi- den-7 in these mine has thus been e. taLlished. n lc ality cuts no figure: t is everywhere thr1ughout,the terri tory

Enough has ,een sp mt in that way already to have opened a good mine.
 Arizona will. I think increase her 'utrut SO much during the next year hat she will attract th- attention of )eople from all over the world who nave mon.y to invest and Will deserve he distinction of being the coming mining country. It should be made tate at once, that the people might, ike other states, govern themselves.
