ARIZONA, NEXT STAR
 BY DANE COOLIDGE
AN EXCELLENT ARTICLE IN SUM
 SET MAGAZINE.
It Will Do Much Toward Placing
 Arizona in the Proper Light Before the Public.

The current issue of Sunset contains Iof Dane Coolidge, entitled Arizona, the Next Star" The article is an extended one and MT. Coolidge has covered the ground thoroughly. Un- like mnay stories and articles on Ari- zona that frequently appear in publi- cations. MT. Cooldge's article is based on actual facts and the knowledge of the writer. That is one of the strong features of everything he writes. In securing the material for Arizona, the Next Star" Mir. Coolidge did not acquire his information at long dis tance. On the contrary, he made a close study of the entire situation. About a year ago he spent several months in Tempe, and while here made number of trips to different parts of the territory for the express purpose of securing reliable matter for this article. He visited the larger mining camps of the southeast sec tion of the territory, mingled with the rangers there and upon his return spent month on the range with John Jones. He also took time to investi- gate the sheep industry
 The fruits of these different investi- gations are found in the article in question. In it MT. Coolidge consid- CTS the sheep. cattle and mining in dustries. The article is not a dry one, full of figures and statistics. Though 1t has these, in it are frequent little stories and incidents that make it an article well worth reading It will un- doubtedly do much toward putting Arizona in the proper light before the general public
 The article is Illustrated by sixteen excellent photographs taken by the author. There are several views of different members of the ranger force, showing them as they were" not as they are now. There are several good views of the mining camps and smelt- CTS, but the one that probably will most interest local readers is entitled "Gentling an Outlaw Bull" This was taken by Mir Coolidge on his trip to the Jones range and in it appear sev- eral familiar faces. John Jones is seen just in the act of placing his rope on the captured bull.
 MT. Coolidge deplores the fact that AriZOnians are as a rule very deficient in the matter of boosting their terri Tory. He says, in speaking of the production of copper:
 If any other state in the Union had made this record it would have let out a yell that could be heard throughout the civilized world Sixty seven million dollars dug out of the ground in one year, and nothing said about 1t? As copper producing country Arizona certainly leads the world. but she has had a short run of boomers. In fact, it makes a man from California, where they do things right. simply heartsick to see the way these Arizona people don't advertise They have one mine down in Bisbee. the Copper Queen, that produced more in 1906 than Goldfield and Cripple Creek put together-s14,236.42S .42S-but does anybody know where or what Bisbee is? Well, it is little burg of seventeen thousand population hid away in canon down in southeastern Arizona, sitting exactlv astraddle of the great Arizona copper belt, and too busy to talk"
 The article concludes with a splen- did view of the capitol building and a paragraph devoted to the many ad- vantages of Arizona's climate.
