LOOKING FORWARD

1t is hoped by all that the boom
 will never be adapted as a means of sources. Boon" is a distasteful term to a community that predicates it's future upon merit alone; the word is hurtful and most generally mis- leading; it is employed by those who would bunco the public by offering for sale that which they have not.
 Arizona. and especially Cochise county. is formulate in the fact that booming" is not necessary. Every industry is conducted upon a substan- tial basis principal among which is mining, and while the International American would not decry one section to favor smother portion of the terr- tory, we cannot but refer to Cochise county ss possessing such natural ad- vantsges as would preclude tho em. ploy ment of the term boom" Our mining field is known the world over for it's productiveness; never has t"wild cat" scheme found recognition in these parts and as result the min. ing industry broadens as the days pro- ceed, and with each succeeding blast ore bodies of incalculable value are laid bare.
 We are fortunate in the class of men who have cast their lots with us; they are from every section of the uni. verse, men who invest only where con- .ditions justify Q financial outlay, thence we have assurance that ours is a good country.
 |, Douglas and Bisbee are two of the greatest modern towns on the Pacific coast; they pattern after none but lead all others. Their citizenship is of the best; cautious men who builds not for today alone but for all time and it is a pleasant reflection to be able to call attention to the fact that business is not conducted on the "boom" theory.
 Douglas. the imperial city of the southwest, is but four years of age, with an estimated population of s. O00. her buildings are of the modern type and commercial pursuits con- ducted along business lines that mark progressive cities of the substantial east.
 Arizona's future does not depend upon the. mineral industry entirely Our resources are varied and of a sub stantiaI nature and hardly has any particular opportunity been developed. The cattle, agricultural, timber and mineral industries are but in their in- fancy. but their rapid developemnt is assured, and as capital learns more of the opportunities that await cautious investors. corTespondingly will cities spring uP, equally so will our agricul- tural possibilities be developed, great commonwealth will develop and in a like ratio will Douglas continue to grow and her name will become famous the world over as the smelter city of the Pacific coast. ---Intornstional-Am erican,

The Graham Guardian in speaking of the division of that county offers no plrtieulsr objection stating if the peo- pie of Clifton and Morenci desire to divide the county they have the power u do it. It is quite likely that the valley portion of Graham county would not offer strenuous objection shoaid the mining towns in the eastern portion make a move to accomplish division.

Any OF the British officers now on

believe that the high Rosicrucian

about the beginning of the seventeenth
century, still inhablt the Tibetan pla-
teaus today. ana some OF the mysteries
or Freemasonry have been supposed to
have been acquired from the Rosicru-
clans. If they ever existed, the Rosi-
crucians were a secret society possess
ing the art OF turning baser metals
into gold. and vowed themselves to
