 4 Dispatch representative has just paid visit to the Chiricahuas, where work kn some sections is going on seeadily developing properties and oth- CTS doing assessment work for the year. Some of thei assessment work has already been completed.
 Some of the property holders of the district state that they will do con siderable work during the coming year and are making prepations with this end in view.
 The people at Roedo say there will be a considerable activity there during the coming year and are already mak- ing arrangements for a good business year. The firm of Hawkins & Cham beriain are arranging to move their store to that point from Paradise and the firm of Brown and Slater are also arranging to move down to Rodeo from Paradise. MT. Prather, who has been running store at Rodeo for the past year, has decided to sell out his interest there and come back to Doug las to go in business here.

The San Simon Cat tie company has shipped a great many cattle east this year and on account of the settling up of the valley by ranch CTS will doubtless move many to other ranges next year. The president of this company owns the town site of Rodeo and has been selling a number of lots.
 It is a delightful ride up the valley with the level ground stretching away on either side and the mountains ris- ing higher and higher into the lofty peaks of the Cnirieahuas, thousands Of pines and oak in the distance look like tiny twigs, although there are hundreds of acres of giant forests. Occasionally deer may be seen to jump from his hiding place in the scrub oak and bound away while jack rabbits and cot ton tails across the road and dash away by the dozens. There are many quail which seem perfectly tame and when driven from the side of the -Gad, fly only a few feet This. should b. . favored spot for the hunter.
