A territorial exchange, has the "early to bed" proverb sized up as follows: Early to bed and early to rise does very we'll for sick folks and guys, but it makes a man miss all the fun till he dies and joins the stiffs that are gone to the skies. Go to bed when you please and lie at your ease, for you'll die just the same of some Latin disease"

The Pride of Arizona
pleted.

The word Arizona conveys to the eastern mind a land parched and hot, barren of vegetation, inhabite by tarantulars, rattlesnakes and Indians. Even to that great army that migrates from the east to the west and from the west to the east semi annually, who say that they know Arizona, means a ride of many hours duration over a mo- notonous, semi barren country, dry and dusty.
 But to the western man of eXpe- rience, who has seen the great Amer ican desert erased from the map, crowded out by states that rival their older sisters in the east by their richness, when he takes his monday siesta camped on the ru- ins left by civilized people who antidate the birth of the Anglo Saxon race, there comes to him visions of the future. He sees Ar izona in all her future grandeur, when not only on a thousand, but on ten thousand hills the smoke mingles with the blue sky that fur nishes power to wrest from natures treasure vaults her precious metals, while in the valleys between are peacefully growing and fattening for the markets of the world thous- ands of cattle that were the earliest and ever will be one of the sources of wealth of the great west.
 The deserts that have been and those that still exist are only await ing the capital, brains and muscle necessary to turn them into Nile valleys and Eden gardens. The Creator of the universe in fashion Ing Arlzona created here a country of which the future generations will be proud to say, "here is the land of my birth"
 To the mountains and hills was given metallic wealth, while crea- ting a catchment basin for the wa ters that are necessary for irriga- ting the valleys. Along the streams nature has provided sites for stor- ing the surplus and flood waters that flow through the streams so abundantly, and in a few more years, under Uncle Sam's liberal irrigation laws, many thousands of acres of new lands will be brought into a state of cultivation.-Arizo- na Cattleman.

The Grand Canyon Mining District
Some of the Reasons Why It Is Not Forging to the Front

claims, but they, too, are slow about doing anything to further develop the country and make it a pro- ducer.
 This sort of thing has been going on now for the past six years, with occasional promises that within the next thirty, sixty or ninety days there would be something do- ing worthy of mention.
 The other day a representative of an eastern firm which owns some claims struck town and went out to do the annual assessment work. He asked us where he could bor- row the necessary tools with which to perform the labor, stating that as his concern only expected to do assessment work this year they didn't want to buy an outfit. He then went on to jack us up because there has not been more local min ing news in this paper. When we told him that most of the claim holders thereabo were doing just as his company did 1t is not to be wondered at that here is little to say about the development of the country.
 We are sorry to have to publish facts of this sort but they are only too true. It would appear that some of these people are simply holding their claims hoping that the other fellow will do something strike it rich-when he will be able to command a good price for his prospect. We regret to say that there is too much of tLis, and this thing of waiting, and this, alone, is why the Canyon district has not long ago attracted wide spread attention as a producer of copper.
 All over the country around Ami ia there are splendid indications of the existence of large body of ore at no great depth, and what the country lacks is someone 10 go down and develop it. As stated in a recent issue of the NEWS there are facts which would indicate it's presence at no great depth, possibly from five to eight hundred feet at Anita, judging from the depth, in the Canyon, of the Canyon Copper Company's property.
 We get letters asking why new capital is not brought in; why we don't "boost" the country more; why this and that. A man with money, first of all wants to know whether there are any companies in the district that are doing any thing, and, as in this case, he dis covers there are many but nothing doing, he becomes suspicious, with reason. What should be done is this: If some of the larger compa- nies, provided they have not now sufficient money to do deep devel- opment, would approach people with money and explain the situa- tion, showing the good surface in dications and pointing out the suc- cess of the Canyon Copper Com pany in their deep workings, there is little doubt but what capital could be induced to take hold and develop one of the greatest mining camps in the southwest.
 So long, however, as everybody in the district continues only to do assessment work each year there is every reason to believe that the de- velopment of the district will be slow and the dearth of legitimate mining news very apparent.
 Think this over and see if some thing besi d es assessment work should not be done.

subscription list among people who are interested in mining property in the Grand Canyon or Francis mining district. Recently we have been receiving inquiries, both writ ten and oral as to why we do not run more local mining news-news of the copper mines in this region relative to the development, etc., in progress. We have given various evasive answers regarding the real condition of affairs in many cases but at last have decided to give the public, and the holders in mining interests in this section, few facts in the case which they can think over quietly and digest at their leisure.
 The Grand Canyon mining dis trict extends over considerable ter ritory, extending north from Will Hams to the Grand Canyon and from the property of the Canyon Copper Company on the east to that of the United Gold and Plat mum Mines Company in Cataract Canyon on the west. Both these companies are working large force of men and accomplishing much in the way of development work and improvements.
 The United Gold and Platinum Mines Company own a large group of both placer and lode claims in Cataract Canyon on which much development work has and is being done. A wagon road is now build ing from Bright Angel cross coun- try to the head of Ca taract and down the Canyon to Supai. This will make much shorter haul with supplies than is now possible from Seligman. Upon the completion of the wagon road it is contemplated to construct an cleo tric railroad from Bright Angel to Supai, to be operated by electricity obtained from a plant to be estab- lished at the water falls in the Canyon.
 The Canyon Copper Company owns a large group of valuable claims at depth of 2,3O0 feet in the Canyon, below Grand View hotel, sixteen miles east of the Grand Canyon railroad terminus at Bright Angel. They at present are getting out large quantities of valuable ore which is packed up out of the Canyon on burros and loaded in wagons, then hauled to the railroad and shipped to the smelter for treatment It can read fly be seen that this large amount of extra handling and hauling is expensive, but the company is mak- ing a nice profit and their develop ment work is continuing. In the near future, when sufficient work has demonstrated the character and extent of the ore body, no doubt reduction works will be established at the mine, thus resulting in a large saving.
 In a southerly direction from Grand View, and spread out all over the country around Willaha, Anita, Apex and Coconino on the Grand Canyon railroad. are innu- merable copper mining claims, which are in varius stages of de- velopment. And thereby hangs reasons that the Grand Canyon mining district is not forging to the front as producer.
 In some cases valuable claims are owned by men who have not sufficient means to do the develop ment work they would gladly do were they able. They are thus compelled, in order to bold their title to the property, to do their an- nual assessment work and be satis- fled with that.
 There are larger concerns con- nected whereabouts, also, who are or should be able to do more than just sufficient work to hold the
