The livery establishment of the
above named firm, formerly known as
the Pascoe stables, is one of the oldest
as well as the largest and best equipped
stables in Globe. In point of stock,
vehicles and the general paraphernalia
which go to make up the first-class
livery stable no expense has been
spared, and as whole the outfit of
this stable is not surpassed by that of
any in the district. Fifty head of
horses are kept for livery purposes,

driving and fine carriage horses. Some
beautifully matched carriage teams and

livery stable. This stable can supply
hunting and prospecting parties with
outfits and competent drivers familiar
with every trail and road in the eastern
portion of the territory. Besides doing
a general livery business, horses are
boarded by the day or month, and it is
worthy of remark that boarders re-
ceive the same careful attention be-
slowed upon the proprietors' well
groomed stock. Another specially of

The Arizona Steam Laundry

The Arizona Steam laundry was
started in December, 1905, by Messrs.
Thomas Kavanaugh and w. T. Olney.
Mr.. Olney's interest was recently pur-
chased by l. w. Frye, for number of
years close friend of Mr.. Kavanaugh's
at Troy. No expense was spared in
fitting the plant with the most modern
machinery known to the laundry trade.
Two of the latest patterns of washing
machines and a l6-foot manple for
ironing fiat work give the plant a
capacity equal to all the demands of
the trade. Wringers, starching ma
chimes and the innumerable little
mechanical contrivances found in all
well equipped laundries have been in
stalled by the management. The plant
was put in at cost of $4,000 and is
thoroughly equipped. A feature of the
plant, and one, too, of more than pass
ing moment, is the 30-foot well from
which the laundry is supplied with pure
soft water. All the soap used on the
premises is manufactured by the firm,
and no chemicals or injurious acids are
allowed on the premises. The work
turned out is the best that modern
skill and appliances can make, and the
trade is rapidly increasing.

they all went on the war path and an
old German by the name of Gardner
settled there and built cabin. Twenty
years ago the present owners, the
Alexander Brothers, realized the posi-
bilities of the waters and attempted to
secure them by purchase but failed to
do so and it was only within recent
years that they have been able to buy
and improve Them. With proper rail-

fifteen years was one of the most

Indian Hot Springs

Arizona has long been the Mecca for
health and pleasure seekers and its
reputation for salubrity of climate and
sunshine has annually attracted thous-
ands in this direction. Among the most
attractive of her resources in this line
are the wonderful hot springs which are
found in various parts Of the territory,
usually remote from transportation
facilities. In the case of the Indian
Hot Springs. near Fort Thomas, how.

reached after a delightful drive Of less
than one hour from the railroad sta

Thirty years ago these now famous
springs were discovered by the Apache
Indians, who brought their sick hun
dreds of miles-in many instances
arriving at the waters with life barely
existing and suffering from supposed
incuralle diseases. Yet in all these
years not one of the Apaches was

The Globe Lumber Company

No one enterprise contributes more
directly to the development of a coun-
try than that which supplies material
for the building of homes. The home
builder is fortunate indeed when he can
obtain his supplies at fair price and
on favorable terms. To do this he
must buy from a yard possessing one
of two important elements in its COM
position. In the first place it must be
possessed of ample capital, that it may
buy for cash, or it must be producer

The proprietor of the Globe Lumber

marked degree. He has ample capital
at his command to take advantage of
the market quotations when at the low

large and well assorted stock of lumber
is constantly kept on hand at the COM
pany's yards on the tracks of the rail-
road, switch running directly into the
