ling point and the gateway to the
famous Cunningham Pass copper dis
trict in the Harcaver mountains where
eight big companies are now operat-
ing. There is strong talk, says Mr..
Gareshe. of a large reduction works
being erected there in the near future.
Up to date there has been more build
ing and improvements here than at
any point on the A. and c. Scores of
new buildings are in the course OF
erection, waterworks are planned. and
parties on the ground are figuring on
a new hotel which il essential at this
point.
Generally speaking" says Mr. Gar
eshe, 1.-THE outlook is bright for the
country and the Arizona and Califor-
mia. the short route Of the Santa Fe.
The development Of the mineral and
agricultural possibilities of this new
world now opened to the investor will
mean the shipment of hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of supplies
and machinery. 1t is time that Phoe-
nix business men awakened to the
importance of the section. and the
energetic man will jump into the
country and make the most Of the OPP
portunity to secure for this city the
trade of that section. Parker will not
only be distribution point for all the
surrounding country but will probably
be a freight division point also. II is
not likely that the California firms
will long neglect the field when the
line is opened to the coast"
Mr.. Gareshe reports that the Mis-
souri, River Bridge company, which
was awarded the contract on the new
Colorado bridge at Parker, has already
about 90 car loads of machinery and
cement on the ground and a large
force Of men. The company has con-
structed about 40 feet of the APP
proaches on the Arizona side and from
the hustling manner in which the
contracting company is doing business,
liz looks favorable for having the
bridge completed in fifteen months.
While at Parker he met G. w. Mckee
Of Phoenix and says that Mr.. Mckee
is just as enthusiastic over the pros
poets OF the Parker section as any one
and believes that IL will be one OF
the wea1thiest and most prosperous
parts of the territory. He says that
Mr.. Mckee has a fine piece of mining
property near Parker for which he has
already been offered fancy sum. and
which some day may make him more
money than he will know what to do
with unless he invests part of IL in
the Hams What Am. Mr.. Mckee. he
says, expressed himself as certain that
the development of the Parker coun-
try would mean a great deal to the
city Of Phoenix.
Mr.. Edwards has seen considerable
of the country but he thinks there is
nothing better than the sections in
Arizona over which he has travelled
and Of course Phoenix is the banner
city. He intends TO return TO Chicago |
but will come back later on and make |
some investments. Garry is so well |
pleased with his trip that he is going !
TO take another jaunt. The next time |
he will ship a rig and outfit to Wick !
enburg and go across the country and 1
reach Ehrenberg by another route, |
taking in other camps which he has |
not visited. The Armour people are /
interested in having him take these 1
tours and report on the conditions |
along the route. II is to their interest
to do so and Garry thinks that any
thing that is Of value to the Armours
is more or less of interest to him. |
Again. he may pick up something in
the country that will look good as a
buy and some day find himself pos /
sessed OF a big mine and considerable
predatory wealth as a side line.
