Disappearance Of Mr.. Hall.

DlSdpPChId dhGC VI VII IAob
Quite a sensation was evident la t
Saturday when it was announced that
John Hall, one Of the very well known
resiuents Of this city had disappeared
and no trace Of him could be found. As
the succeeding days passed and no light
rewarded the anxious searchers. the
excitement became quite intense and
grave fears foul play were entertained.
1t was recalled or asserted that on
Friday night, when he was last seen,
Mr.. Hall had exhibited some money at
one Of the saloons az which wers two
hobos, suspicious looking characters,
and these were said TO have left the
place soon after Mr. Halls departure.
To add to the sensation an opinion was
delivered by medium that the dead
body Of Mr.. Hall was lying under
woodpile, and the woodpiles up the
track we're oyerhauled by searchers in
order that no stone might be left un.
turned. Arrangements we're beng
made to have all the empty box cars
searched that had been In the yards on
Friday night, but on Monday, word was
received from Grave creek that Nr. Hall
was at his mine there, sound and in
good health. The sensation and search
experienced a sudden check.

THE SKYLIGHT CITY,

from the mountains and the new grass springs up again.
 Hundreds of ranches are scat tered over it's fertile slopes, where fruit, vegetables, grain and hay are produced in large quantities. Many of these most productive ranches are veritable gold mines to their owners, and present the appearance of miniature Gar den of Eden during the summer seasons. In some parts of the country irrigation is practicable and extensive improvements are made to force the growth of pro- duce; in other parts good crops

It has been known for years as the central point of interest for this part of the territory, and is better known to-day by eastern people than many eastern cities of ten times her population. And we'll she merits this distinction. Her people are an educated, broad-minded and enterprising class, drawn from every part of the union to enjoy her scenes of beauty, her health-giving climate and to share the lavish wealth that is here for those who seek it
 The city of Flagstaff is hap oily free from the one disadvant- age felt more or less throughout the southwest-a good water sup ply. No city in the southwest has better water supply than Flagstaff. Crystalline in pure ness, the bubbling spring from

are raised without the aid of irri- gation.
 Mining in Coconino county is in it's infancy as yet, though numerous mines showing a wealth of valuable mineral are now being developed in the north ern part of the county along the Grand Canyon. Nearly every known mineral has been discov- cred in the county, ranging from mica to asbestos, and there is a splendid future assured for min ing in the county, which will eventually take high rank among the older mineral producing counties of the territory.

This great ad- vantage to the city was procured at heavy cost, but no community of people can live and improve without water. Her citizens knew it, and to-day a complete water system, with it's large mains, tap every part of the city. It is owned by the city-by the people, who pay for it's privileges at their actual cost, who control it's cost and fear nothing from the hands of any corporation or com pany.
 All honor is due her people for their confidence in the city s future and for their consideration for the comfort and welfare for those to come after them.

Flagstaff, the Metropolis of Northern Arizona-The Central Point of Inter-
 est to Tourists.
0OCONINO COUNTY has a great diversity of inter-

- ests and many sources of revenue denied other less fortu nately situated parts of Arizona. There is a substantialness here that the failure of any one inter- est does not effect in any degree. In this there is security of val ues throughout that has made her towns permanent with an upward and growing tendency.
 The vast forest of valuable pine timber within her borders, is larger in area than any of the states of the Union, and this in dustry alone is sufficient to main tain a large population indetin- itely. For the past twenty years numbering has been carried on extensively in the county, yet to- day there stands as a gift of ma ture to man, more pine timber than can be logged in the next fifty years.
 Sheep, cattle and horses come next in point of value, Sheep being the principal industry and are grazed upon the grassy slopes of the mountains. resulting in profits running annually high in to the thousands. The dry noun tain air. the wealth of mountain vegetation and the cool climate together make this an ideal sheep raising county during the greater part of the year. The mild and equitable climate of the south during the winter months fur nish them with winter range during that part of the year when heavy snOws come in the mountain region, and the move ment of the sheep from north to south is more of benefit to the sheep than a detriment, as they are grazed along the way with no extra cost to their owners.
 Cattle and horses are grazed in all parts of the county, though owned in smaller numbers than sheep by the settlers, and in the aggregate, constitute very large share of the wealth and resources of this great grazing country. The peculiar adapta- bility of this mountain country for all grazing purposes cannot be over stated.
 Cattle graze to the San Fran cisco Peaks during the summer, gradually seeking the lower country in the fall when the win ter snows come upon the higher levels of the mountain, drifting into the open country into the warm sunshine of summer to remain until the snows are gone

hoNS oiooPl'CUICu' oht III oiCii stead stands new and better brick and stone structures, complete. handsome and well calculated to improve our city's appearance; buildings that are fit to grace the streets of any city. These new buildings are protected by per feet system of waterworks, am pie fire apparatus with compa- nies of well-trained tiremen lOca ted in various parts of the city. Business men fully realize the protection given to their prop erty by good system of water works, and the confidence man ifested by the citizens in secur ing it, has been a guarantee which has brought hundreds of dollars into investment here that WOuii nave OoIlcl NtSc SpHc away feeling that the risk was too great. Strangers have come here to locate because they found that her citizens had a firm confidence in her future, had made their permanent homes here, and be- cause they had provided against water famine and fire.
 An etfectual sewer system was inaugurated by the citizens a short time after the completion of the waterworks, which has had the effect of cleaning up the city, making sanitary conditions perfect. This system has not reached it's full growth, as yet, but is rapidly growing to all parts of the city. Extensions are being made whenever peti- tiOns of the citizens are sufficient to warrant the cost of construct ing new laterals. This growing system will, in a short time, be- long to the city and be controlled by the people, as it should be.
 Electric lights twinkle and spread their Illuminating rays in every business house in the city. Residences, too, are lighted by this system, and in this our peo- pie are again favored by good service and are unlimited in it's use.
 A telephone system covers the entire business district and reaches many parts of the res idence district. This system will soon be connected with the long distance phone. which, in turn, will at no distant day be connected with the long distance phones of Southern Arizona, thus facilitating the interchang- ing business of the north and south, though telegraphic com munications have been possible for years past.
