 The following telegram was also sent to the mining editor of the Boston Transcript
 The board of trade of the city of Phoenix. Arizona. sends d hearty New Years greeting to Boston, the copper center of America. with the pleasing information that Arizona has led the world in metal output for 1907 with a total cash value of S67.0OO.0 000. She has led Montana in copper output by 37.O0O.0O0 pounds and Michigan by s. 0O0,000 pounds. The secret of Ari- zona's pre-eminence in copper lies in the fact that the total value of her
 
 than any other region in the world that can produce an equal quantity" And then. that interest might be aroused in the minds and hearts of that incompatible guild of west ern boosters, the following resOlu- tions were passed and ordered trans mitted by wire to the Commercial Club of Salt Lake City:
 The board of trade of Phoenix. Ari- zona. Phoenfx the beautifuD sends a glad New Years greeting to that hon. orable body of energetic Western ROoters. The Commercial Club of Salt Lake. with the pleasing information that Arizona had led the world in min eral output for 1907. with total value of S67, ,000, 900.
 Led Montana's copper output ......... ....... 3I,0O0, 900 lbs Led Michigan's copper
 output ........-.. .... 39.00O.0 0OO lbs. We desire to inaugurate a movement for the building of a direct line of rail- road from the Salt Lake to the Gulf of California through Arizona with a bridge across the Grand Canyon. This would give Arizona the advantage of Utah's superior coals and coke. and Utah the advantage of Arizona's vast bodies of oxidized copper ores to smelt with Utah's sulphides. Will your honorable body join us in promoting the movement?
 We clearly recognize in Salt Lake the queen city of the inter-mOuntain country and such a railroad would give her short cut tO the Pacific with all the advantages of the 18th milan canal.
 The bridge across Arizona's Grand Canyon. the greatest natural wonder of the world would make the road a favOrite with tourists.
 Think this proposition over prayer fully and do us the honor to let us hear from you.
 Come down and see us if you can and we will fill you up with the sweet est oranges that grow on top of this whirling old sphere.
 Wish we could send you basket of Phoenix roses for your New Years assembly but it is such a long way around that they'd be withered before they reached you.
 We hear with pleasure of the great energy and influence of your club and desire to get up close to you and with glad hands across the Grand Canyon wish you a Happy New Year.
