Growth and Prospects Out rival All Infant Cities
 of Southwest

Miami is southwestern anomaly, Although it is Arizona's newest city, it is as sedate, in most of its phases, as any centuTy-old community of the mild and muley east; albeit it's aspect com pTises every chromatic tone of the ma. iestic American canvas, from the sub dued tint of New England to the vivid splOtehes of the turbulent realm of the Apache.
 It is at once a renaissance of the ''days of forty-nine anl a microcOSm of the Great White Way. The tinkling of its telephones blends with the jing- ling of the passing COW puneher s spurs; the footing of its locomotives is punctuated by the crack of the stage drivers whip; tents and modern rein forced concrete buildings stand in chummy eOntiguity, and the papoose. laden squaw regards with grave disap- proval her smartly garbed white sister Hitting by in chugging auto.
 ResOrting to alliteration s archaic aid, it may truthfully be said that Mi. ami is a marvel.
 The new city's stuation-whether from the viewpoint of industrial ad. vantage, topography, railway cOmmuni- cation, or scenic splendOr-is ideal. It nestles against the hills wherein lie the untold mineral riches that will make of Miami and its vieinage the greatest in dustrial integer of the great metal pro ducing southwest, occupying the only available site that nature left among the mountains there when she hid her treasure trove within their rock bound vaults.
 The famous Miami mine, with its mil lions of tons of ore already blocked out, has its shafts and coneentrator site to the north only few hundred yards above the new town The Inspiration, with ore deposits probably as extensive as those of the Miami, lies on the eity's western side, and between them the Cordova property, fast developing into another copper giant, abuts upon Mi ami s outskirts. The Live Oak, Key stone, Orphan and other opening mines lie farther up the mountain side, radi- ating fan-like rom the new city and insuring it an ever increasing growth and prosperity.
 Seldom is a community born with such absolute certainty of industrial success.
 Its topography is unequalled in Ari- ZOna. The tOwnste may be likened to a horseshoe, the are formed of the ore. bearing hills above it, the opening to the eastward continuing over an even glade as level as a floor. The gently SlOping valley that contains the central portion of the town is f1anked by low mesas, or table lands, that afford beau tiful sites for homes, and will hold in l the future all the residence sections as the growing business of the district ap | propriates the central flats.
 As to its manner of connection with l the rest of the world, it may be summed | up in one woTd-perfection. The even ! grade afforded by the floor of it's east | ern outlet has made the building of it's | recently completed railroad connection | with the Gila Valley, Globe oI North | ern road at Globe an undertaking of | ridiculous ease, when considered in con. nectiOn with the amount of the road s | receipts for the first month of its Op- eratiOn-mOTe than $40,000.
 The view from Miami is one that impels the visitor s profound admira. ton and never pals upon the vision of the town s inhabitants. The adjacent hills are carpeted with profuse growth of sage, mesquite and the other diver sified shrubs of this region; upon the | higher reaches the tint of the hills is deepened by the heavier thickets of | scrub oak, juniper and cedar; and high above all the enormous pine-clad bas tions of the Pinal range uphold the tre- mendous snOw-clad peaks that loom up against the western sky in titanic gran deur. He who has seen the sinking sun painting naming glories above the Pi- nals' lOrdly crest will not soon forget a spectacle whose awful sublimity is appalling in its splendor.
 Miami has neither church nor jail, court nor lawyer; but despite its dearth of these concomitants of modern civili- zatiOn the sentient little community is turning on "the lathe of time with all the supreme indifference for it's shortcomings that a small boy might | display towards a lack of "schOol maTms. Whenever any of the boys become Over-ebullient from the effects of pay day and kick the sawdust out | of their beloved brethren, they are ta- ken into uIobe by big Fred Russell or Billy Stephens, there to share the de- lights of the etrOpolis-including the privilege of saying "good morning" to Hizzoner. As to spiritual devotions, the lack of house of divine worship | is much felt--perhaps.
 Mayhap the busy folk who are build. | ing the new community solace them selves with the thought that useful toll | is manifestation of worship accept
