TOWN OF BISBEE.
The stay at Bisbee was certainly
restful and interesting. General Mac
Arthur went through the smelling
plant in the evening, and visited the
company store and new bank in the
morning, listening to wonderful stories
of the great wealth of southern Ari-
zona. all of which seemed to be we'll
supported by the remarkable evidence
of activity everywhere. The Copper
Queen company and the FL Paso &
Southwestern railroad are certainly do
ing their part in the wonderful devel-
opment that is going on at the present
time.
The next morning the generals car
ard party were taken. special. from
Bisbee TO Don Luis. Mr.. James Douglas
and Mr.. Morgan. general superinten-
dent of the road. accompanying them
At Don Luis two private cars were
;aken on. occupied by Governor Yza-
bal OF Sonora and many leading of1ic-
'als OF that state, among them Seniors
Aguiiar, MonteverGe. MeidmCn. ORTIZ,
Bley, Canon, Cinapa, Urukuetu. Men
dos Sandoval and Hernandez. The
general called upon Governor YzabaI
and i pleasant exchange CT compli-
ments followed, the general having
many nice things to say about our
neishbors, and Governor Yazbal. IN
turn. expressing himself as being much
pleased at meeting the general and
party. After formally greeting the
governor the officials accompanying
him We're introduced to the general and
the rest of the party.
From Don Luis the party travelled
together until the coming city of
Douglas was reached, when they sep
arated. Governor Yzabal and party
and AIr. James Douglas, going on to
Nacosari.
\ COMING CITY.
Half an hour was spent taking
hasty view of the surroundings at
Douglas, in which time sufficient evi-
dence was gathered to warrant the
belief that Douglas would soon be one
OF the principal cities of the territory.
They claim 10 have a population of
1900 at present. Some lots have re-
and when it is remembered that the
location OF the city is right in the heart
of u beautiful valley with no end of
room, it will be apparent that the i'm
mediate locality of Douglas is con-
sidered OF considerable importance
when such pEces are paid for conven-
iently located property.
The Copper Queen company will soon
erect its large smelling plant at this
place, ass will also the Calumet com
pany. which taken together with the
fact that it is the junction point Of
the road into Sonora, guarantees TO
Douglas d population running into the
thousands.
1t is claimed also that in removing
the smelters from Bisbee. the city Of
Bisbee. with its 1000 population at
present. viii il no wise suffer. as the
increased mining resulting from the
extensive operations now under way
by the Copper Queen company. the
Calumet company and others, will in
sure Il larger population for Bisbee
than it has under existing conditions
General Macarthur was much in
terested and took great pains to as
certain the future possibilities of the
Il .y,T
section in particular, although he made
careful observation of the mines in
northern Arizona. visiting jerome and
Congress, and meeting personally
many people Interested in mining
throughout the territory generally.
While at Bisbee and Douglas his at
tention was called to the reopening of
the Tombstone mines and to the rail
read the FL Paso * Southwestern was
about to construct from some point on
their road. at or near Fairbank. Wit
Tombstone TO Douglas or College Peak.
With the road constructed via Tomb
stone, it could not help proving adj
vantageous to Douglas. Tombstone will
before long have Il population equal
10 that of early days. There Will be
several hundred men employed there in
Inc company's mines in the near future.
which in itself should insure d popu
lation Of several thousand. and when
the road is completed from Benson 10
Phoenix, the entire territory will be
brought into immediate relationship
with this rapidly developing section
of country. besides getting the benefit
of the developing and consequent pop
ula tion that is sure to result from the
improved facilities furnished the resi-
dents and mining districts of San
