PROF LESSOR JAMES DOUGLAS.

IItl. JcuCS bOuSAdS uaS aSoiA eA rived in Arizona He came, as he has been coming for the last twenty years, without any sounding of trum- pets or attempt to attract attention. He arrived in Bisbee Thursday even ing and went last night to Nacozari where he now is looking after the in terests of the Moctezuma Copper com pany and the Nacozari Railroad company, both enterprises being owned by the Phelps-Dodge company of which he is the representative head in Arizona and Mexico.
 If any man is entitled to welcome in Arizona that man is Prof. James Douglas. Take away what he has ae- complished in mineral development since his first visit to this territory and you would take away much of it's prosperity; the great Warren mining district contained nothing but pros pective hole when James Douglas be- came interested in it and began eXten siye development; Morenci had been for years the typical 'rawhfde camp" f the southwest up to the time when, through the efforts of Prof. Jas. Doug las, the Phelps-Dodge company secur- ed controlling interest in the Detroit Copper company At Globe there had never been any stability in the min ing industry until Prof Douglas SC cured for the Phelps-Dodge company a controlling interest in the Old Do- minion company. Then, as the result of the faith in Arizona of Prof. Doug las, coupled with his knowledge of mineralolugy and the science of reduc- ing mineral to bullion. Arizona has Bisbee, with its eighteen thousand population; Morenci, the model camp of Arizona, with its population of six thousand; Globe, with its population of ten thousand and destined to rival any city in the southwest. In addi- ton to these mining camps Arizona has several hundred miles of railroad with many miles coming up in the future to accommodate the mining industry developed by this man to do credit to the faith which he has ever had in Arizona Take away all the enterprises in southern Arizona that today depends upon the industries which have been developed under the directing hand of this pioneer of the west and you would take away the bone, sinew and marrow Of our in dustrial prosperity.
 It may be said that there are other mining enterprises in southern Ari- zona and especially in the Warren district besides those owned by the Phelps-Dodge people That is true and we have no doubt that the Calu- met & Arizona has a future which will equal the success of the Copper Queen, but it is one hundred to one that o=ly for the success of the Cop per Queen the Calumet & Arizona people would never have known of such a place as the Warren district in Arizona, it being fact that the c. 6 A. first invested in claim into which one of the stopes of the Cop per Queen had already run.
 For twenty-five years and more Prof. Douglas has been making reg ular trips to Arizona, first reaching the mining camps of the territory on horseback, then by stage, then on the train and finally being able to travel to all the camps where his enterprises are located in a private car.
 With the history of the early days of Arizona the name of Prof. James Douglas must necessarily De linked forever; no man has accomplished more in developing it's resources or providing it with the needs of ciyiliza- ton. In every camp where he has opened the mines and built reduction works he has not neglected to pro vide those conditions which will ever attract the better class of workmen and tend to elevate :he standard of man and womanhood.
 Arizona owes much admiration and gratitude to Prof. Douglas; Cochise county. especially, has much of its prosperity to place to his credit and Douglas would never have been on the map only as the result Of his en-
