Our Great Counties.

Curiously enough, the impression
still prevails in many portions of the
east that Arizona is only an insigni-
ficant patch of desert in the south west
ern corner of the union. And our
own people are so familiar with our
magnificent distances, that they do not
realize that in reality Arizona is large
enough and rich enough in natural
resources to make several states. 1t is
interesting, therefore, to note the great
area of the several counties.
Apache county extends As miles
east and west and 240 miles north
and south.
The greatest length of Ceconino
county is 1S5 miles and its greatest
width 40 miles. 1t is larger than
the combined states of Vermont,
Massachusetts, and Delaware, having
an area of 1892 square miles.
Gila, one of the smaller counties,
has an area of 4,542 square miles.
Cochise county is SO miles mort h and
south by 81 miles east and west, and
has an area Of 6. 147 square miles, be
ing slightly larger than the combined
areas of Rhode Island and Connecti-
cut.
Graham county contains $500
square miles.
Maricopa county has S,S16 square
miles, and is slightly larger than Mas
sachusetts-
Mohave county has an area of 49,
421 square miles.
Navajo county is 240 miles long, 53
miles wide, and comprises 1896 square
miles, nearly equal to the area of
Maryland.
Pima county contains an area of
9,424 square miles.
Pinal county has 1924 square miles.
Santa Cruz, the smallest county con-
tains 1,212 square miles, about equal
to the area Rhode Island.

THE COLLECTOR PORT OF NOGaLES.
Sharp SINH for the Republicans of Ari-
zona Ada Mustered By Pre-; iheut
Roosevelt.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Jun. IA
sharp contest on the collectorship of
customs at Nogales was brought to a
close today by conspicuous defeat for
local Republican indences and
trump for the Treas sury ring Lere.
Edwin Baker, now acting col
lector at Nogales since the death OF
Doan, was appointed collector.
He was not indorsed by any one OF
political influence in Arizona
Governor Bro:iie, Secretary Stod-
dard, National Committeeman Grit
fifth and most of the influential
Republicans of Arizona indorsed Allen
B. Jaynes of the Tucson Post for the
place. He was also indorsed by Sena-
tors Foraker and Fairbanks and other
powerful party leaders in the east.
Mr.. Baker was approved and his
appointment recommended oy the Off
cials of the Treasury Department.
1t was thought here that no one
would be appointed to Office in Ari-
zona who had not the Endorsement of
Governor Brodie. But Brodie fatty
refused to indorse any one who was
not bona fide resident of Arizona.
and Baker is regarded as a West Vir-
ginia friend of Senator Elllins, and
not genuine resident of the Territory
being merely employed in the customs
service.
The appointment of Baker is re
garded as a triumph of the Treasury
officials over the Republican politi-
clans of Arizona.

However, the Tempe fire boys made a
gallant run and when the water was

Two city Jail birds took wings last
night and flew over the garden wall.
They ware only hoboes but at the
same time they ware prisoners. This
is simply another illustration of the
insecurity of our city bastile. The jailor
can hardly be expected to keep watch
twenty-four hours. Any prisoner who
takes a strong notion to get out can
scale the walls with little difficulty

From Cattieman and Miner.

Mining has really only just begun
in Southern Arizona. For many years
it was claime1 that but few of the
mines went down, but later develop
ment shows that the deeper they go
the better they get.
Nogales, Arizona, i: the gateway TO
Western Sonora, NJ exico, and persons
wanting to find out anything from that
part of the country in reference to
mining will get reliable information
by corresponding with the Nogales
Bureau of Mines that is under the
management of Percy Sharpe, who is
also mining engineer. Nogales is
the headqu arters for mining and cattle
men having business in Sonora, and is
one of the busiest little towns in the
territory.
r. R. Richardson, OF Patagonia,
deserves a great deal of credit for his
perseverance in bringing that portion
of Arizona to the front as mining
district. MIR. Richardson has spent
thousands of dollars and many years
of time in developing mines in that
section of the country. He has always
been willing to put in his money and
take ''long chance" on any thing
that looked ''half good His efforts
have been crowned with success, we
are glad to say, and some weli-devel-
oped paying mines are th3 result of
his nerve and energy.
Edward Titcomb, the head of the
house of Roy Il Titcomb. Inc, of No
gales, deserves great credit for his
push and energy in his line of business
at Nogales, Arizona. He has made
success of the ice and electric light
business there and now has in opera
ton an electric light plant that far
excells the one Tucson is trying to
support. But the greatest enter prise
Mr.. Titcomb has undertaken with his
associates is the foundry and machine
shops that employ a large force of
msn and is capable of turning out any
thing possible to be made in that kind
of an establishment. Such men should
be encouraged by all, and their insti-
tutions we'll patronized.
There is not much said about it but
Baxter, Irish and Ellis are getting
down pretty deep on the Twin
Butte" mines 81 miles south of Tue
son The last work they have done is
on the claim known as the Glane
mine. They are down 165 feet on
this claim and have cross cut 25 feet,
all in ore OF good grade. They have
just completed shaft 125 feet deep
on the King mine all in high grade
ore. Several hundred tons of ore have
been shipped from this claim which
netted the owners splendid profits.
There are thousand of tons of rich ore
piled up on the dumps OF this fine
group, which consists of 19 claims.
Some day this will be big producing
camp.
Frank III. King Il Bro. have some
splendid bargains in cattle ranches
stocked and not stocked. They also
have some good sized land grants for
sale suitable for cattle ranches.
There are many openings yet in
Southern Arizona for people to engage
in the cattle business on open ranches.
Thousand of cattle have been shipped
ont durino the last few years and the
ranges having had a long rest and
ready to bo re-stoked. Ranches cap
able of running large numbers of cattle
can be had for reasonable prices. In
many places water could be developed
at little cost and new ranges located.
