Arizona Leads the World

During the month of March Arizo- na produced 3l, 100000 pounds of cop. per and thereby clinched her hold on first rank, not only iu the United States but in all of the world as a cop per producing district. Even with copper as low as l2 cents per pound this production means the staggering sum of s, ,720, ,000 for a single months production of this one metal alone. This is all clean money, not dirty dollar in the bunch. virgin wealth, dug out of the earth Last year Arizona produced over S57. 300, ,0OO of minerals. This year the territory will go beyond these figures and in a very few years Arszona. the jewel of the southwest, will be producing $lO0,O00 900 of mineral wealth every twelve months. These figures are SO immense as to make some of the little states of the East which have been barring the door on Arizona's statehood hopes, look like dirty beggars. Then in addition to this, remember. all Ye people of the East who have been wandering why Arizona should want statehood, that Arizona stands third among all of the states and territories in the Union in education and forty fifth in crime. Arizona this. beautiful Sunday morn ing is able to stand up and look the world Tn the face. When admitted as state, which she will be within the next year, she will be one of the brightest stars in the constellation of states Sun.

Captain George Goodell and Will liam Reilly, who were in Oourtland recently on a tour of inspection and to secure bargains in realty, are pro- fuse in their expressions of surprise. They atate that CourtlaEd's main street is three miles long and that the new city promises to rival Douglas.
 From statements made to the tour ists, who are we'll known figures at Tucson's big hotel, they understood that 2,CO0 men are nployed at the mines of the several companies aper- ating in the vicinity of Courtland.
 Good lodging and restaurants have been esta blished in Courtland, the latter being better than Tucson in stitutions of that kind, according to Goodell and Reilly.
 The Southern Pacific line is com pleted to within easy distance of Courtland, while the Fl Paso and Southwestern will be only few weeks longer in reaching the new town, per- haps by May 30.
 Messrs. Goodell and Reilly of neces- sity had to make the run from Peerce to Wilcox in an automobile in order to catch No. g, the Arizona and Colo rado line-Pearce to Cochise making connection.
 The Tucson men made purchases of lots in Oourtland and are we'll pleased with their choice and the prices asked. They think the new town should be better known.

United Verde Largest Silver and Gold
 Mine.

Jerome dispatch says: The United Verde Copper company was the largest gold and silver producer in Arizona in the year 1908. This information comes from the best authority possible T E. Camtell, Yavapai county's assessor. This production was made possible by the smelting of the large body of oxidized ores taken from the ''glory hole" just south of the U. V. & P. railway depot. This ore was thrown directly into the converters as it came from the mine, it being un- necessary to run it through the fur naces. The production of the United Verde for the past year was 36. 1885, O89 pounds of copper. 494. 574 25 oun ces of silver. and 20, ,334. O27 ounces of gold.
 The Jerome district has been 8 gre1t producer of gold through the United Verde and Equater mines, and with the immense bodies of gold ores blocked out in the Copper Chief, and the showing of gold ores in all pros poets along her mineral belt, this dis trict will undoubtedly hold it's place as great gold producer.

Close to Nature Is the
Ideal IN kindergarten

Writes Miss Annie Eendrick Walker
In the Birmingham Ledger;
or all the plans which form the
bases OF kindergarten work the
spring plan" provides more delight
and real enjoyment than any OF the
others. for with the coming OF spring
days nature has come to the front at
the Birmingham kindergartens.
It Is the out-of- door season with
the hundreds OF children In the free
kindergartens. The parks nearby are
attracting them, delightful excursions
are made, and besides these out-of-
door visits there is at. one OF the kim
dergartens in this city a little garden,
in which vegetables and flowers are
Just lifting their heads, watched daily
by the bright and eager eyes OF the
children to whom the garden belongs.

excursions into all quarters OF Bir-

Not single principle working In
the home was omitted. The milkmah,
the postman, the grocer, the baker
an entire afternoon was spent at a
baker shop--everything that could be
observed on an afternoon excursion
was included in the winter plan Of tn"
work.
Now the life in the open has come
with spring weather. Excursions to
the parks and mornings in the little
