 Phoenix hotels are filled up with eastern people. Hundreds of wealthy persons suffering from consumption come here every winter. The eli
 mate for consumptiyes is said to be second only 10 that of portions of New Mexico.
 'Lungers," as the consumptives are termed here. can be seen sitting in the courthouse square on benches
 under the palms at all times of the day. The sweet perfume of the ole ander trees. which are set about the square. permeates the hot, dry air, and gives the sick man a combination that he cannot find elsewhere. Many stories are related regard ing the cases of tuberculosis that have been benefited and in some in stances cured. One man came here from Chicago, weighing less than 100 pounds, after having been advised that he could live but a few weeks. He hired out to a surveyor. going into the mountains, and for six months slept out of doors entirely and ate coarse food. When he re turned to Phoenix he weighed 19U pounds, and complained that he was unable to get enough to eat Persons having met him upon his arrival did not recognize him and the physicians declared he had been actually cured.
 Most of the patients, however, reach Phoenix just in time to die. having put of the change in climate until too late to be benefited. Hun dreds of consumptives are quartered in tents about Phoenix, which rent at all the way from s2 to s10 month.
 Physicians are united in the belief that the best results follow sleeping in the open air. Many of the most costly residences have tent additions used for bedrooms.
 ''Lungers" are treated cordially, out there appears to be an underlying vein of prejudice against their pres ence in such overflowing numbers.
 Phoenix has 15.000 inhabitants. and it's wide streets fairly throb and pull sate with business activity all day long. Pennies have not yet come into use, and are but seldom seen.
 The Phoenix saloon is still typical of the wild, frontier town. Gambling of all kinds fourishes. About one table a dozen Mexicans will be gaCh- cred, playing faro, while at the next stand as many colored men will be shooting craps" Acorss the room be playing 'fan-tan," and still further also an assembly of miners, cow punchers, Mexicans and Indians will be found around the roulette wheel. As many as ten and twelve games are carried on in saloon. where the wealthy rancher rubs elbows with the sgreaser." fortunes are won and lost every night. ..
 I believe if a Chicago or New York detective was to step into one or these saloons he would be able to find men wanted in the large cities for a variety of crimes. Many pro- fessional crooks spend the winters in Phoenix because of the ideal climate. put IHtS COntenL Io sPSAu IhSLi 'ihhS gambling. There is a remarkable ab- sence of all kinds of crime. Perhaps this is due to the fact that most at tempted robberies result in the would be hold-up man being carried to the morgue.
 But the average Arizonan is as highly cultured and as law-abiding a man as cen be found anywhere in the States"
