CAMPING PARTY SPEAKS VERY HIGHLY OF ATTRACTIONS
 OF FUCKER CANYON.

Douglas. Ariz., Sept. 25.-(Special)-
 Rev. and Mrs. George Logic, MT. and Mrs. N. L. Sheldon and MT. and Mrs. James Logic returned Friday evening from a two weeks outing spent in the upper end of Fucker can yon, in the Chiricahua mountains. They report having had a very enjoy able time.
 The upper end of the valley is one of the most attractive spots in south ern Arizona and if it were more easy of access it would undoubtedly be very popular summer resort. For distance of over thirty-five miles the valley is quite thickly timbered along the stream with sycamore, oak, pine and other trees that make q fine shade under which one can lie and take things easy far from the "maddening strife" of city life and listen to the babbling brook, the coOing doves and the singing of many birds.
 If a more strenuous life is desired there are mountains 10 climb, from which a view can be had of the smoke of the smelters of Douglas and the valley away of in the direction of Pearce. The valley can be explored away up the canyon for miles beyond the upper settler
 Doves, pigeons, rabbits and quail are there in abundance, and farther up the canyon there is plenty of the bigger game. Only a short time ago Frank Moore, the rancher and post master of Fucker had the somewhat novel experience of roping a black bear, and Frank Hudson, who has charge of the stock on MT. Hampe's ranch, trapped seven or eight noun tain lions. In addition to these are cougar, deer and other wild animals to shoot, for those who know how to find them and are not afraid of plenty of mountain climbing.
 At the, upper end of the valley is the ranch of Mir. Abbott. who was formerly a druggist in Tombstone, and whose wife taught school both there and in Bisbee MT Abbott makes no claims as to his bronco-busting at tainments saying that he prefers to ride a sawhorse and knows more about pill-mixing. and his knowledge of the cattle business is limited to the extent Of milking a thoroughly do- mesticated COW, although he owns a big stock ranch. Mrs. Dulaney of San Jose and her charming three-year-old boy, Billie, are the guests of Mrs. Ab- bolt. a sister Of Mrs. Dulaney.
 The next settler down the canyon is MT Hampe and his charming wife. Mir. Hampe was formerly a newspaper illustrator on one of the San Fran cisco dailies. and both he and his wife are accomplished artists Mrs Hampe can ride a fractions horse with the grace of a New York society lady and the ease of an Arizona cowboy. When the party got stuck in the creek on their way home it was Mrs Hampe who came to the rescue, took hold of wheel and got the wagon out of the creek
 The third ranch down the canyon is known as the O. K and is owned by MT and Mrs. Kertner and the Hoods The Kertners are recent arri- vals from Los Angeles. Mrs Kertner is a sister of Cashier Hood of Bisbee.
 The next ranch down is that of MT and Mrs. Frank Moore, who run the postoffice, and have 9 large number of cattle as well. It was at Moore's ranch that the party was treated to an exhibition of broncho-busting that it would cost money to witness in a city, and is a tame affair compared to the one that took place at Moore's
 The next and last ranch in the Fucker canyon is the Whitehead ranch. MT Whitehead has for a num- Der of years divided his time between ranching and running a restaurant in Bisbee, and made a success of both of them. He has a fine, comfortable looking home, with a wide, cool, shady porch around it, a fine lawn and shade trees and flowers in abundance, which make it look unusually attract i've to one who has crossed the valleE between Douglas and there.
 Arizona is supposed to be about as wild and wOolly as any spot in the Union, and Fucker canyon is certainly a long way from any town and one would surely expect to see a little of the wild and woolly, but a more hos pitable. courteous, intelligent and re- fined class of people can't be found in any farming and ranching community in the United States, and it is a pleas ure and privilege to meet them.
