Rural Set|ementsAssoCiation
Acquires 400Acres
GEORGE MAxWElL'S IDEA
The Old Titus Ranch and
Adjoining Land Is Pur-
chased by George H. Max
well For 26,OOO-The Sale
Made by H. |. Latham.
GEORGE MAxWEIL's IDEA

A transaction of much more i'm
portance TO this valley than the mere
fact OF a land sale of similar acreage,
was coHsummated on Friday, when
the Rural Settlements association
bought 400 acres, including the Titus
ranch.
The land, which was purchased
through the H. Latham agency,
consists of the south half Of section
., l north, east, which is the old
Titus ranch. The purchase price Of
the 3Z0 acres is said to have been
$4,000. In addition, the Rural Settle
ments association bought the south
half of the southwest quarter of Sec
ton sc, north, east, and an undi-
vided two-thirds interest in the west
half Of section >, ! north, east, for
$4,000. The two parcels Of land are
close together lying about halfway
between Scottsdale and the river. II
will be within two miles of the pro-
posed Scottsdale and Orange Belt
railroad.
The ranch is one of the somewhat
historic places in the valiy as 1t has
been titled for many years, having
been first settled and ornamnted by
a fine country home many years ago,
when the location was considered al
most out OF civilization and too far
from urban attractions to be. valuable.
Later, the house burned down, and,
still later, another one was built, and
it has always been considered one of
-the-best pieces of farm property in
the valley from the standpoint Of soil
and water supply, and in more recent
years it has changed hands several
times, always at an advancing price.
The present seller is L. E. Sampson
of Des MOines, Iowa
The ranch is situated about two
miles southeast. Of Scottsdale, some
distance across the river from Tempe,
east of the Hole-in-the-Rock butte
and near the edge of the Salt River
Indian reservation. The proposed
crusscut canal to be built by the rec
lamation service from the Arizona TO

4 GOOD week
FOR THE HUSTLERS''

tions to the Territorial Census by

II was a good week for The Hust-
lers," Costley and Thompson. They
closed a sale yesterday of ten acres

trees, bearing fig trees and other fruit
trees on the place. In fact it is one
of the choicest of the smaller ranches
lying close to the city.
This sale, like nearly every other
one made recently by Costley and
Thompson, was to a recent arrival in
the valley. Mr.. Stewart came here
last fall and drove about the valley
to look for a tract suitable for his
home. He then went to California 20

over the valley, finally selecting the
tract which he has just purchased.

POINTERS

In the matter of advertisement, not
of the conventional sort, but the kind
that attracts attention ana carries
conviction, the Southwestern Realty
company has set pace for others to
follow. one of the army of the great
unwashed was struggling from one
saloon to another on Washington
street. when a small boy looked up
into his dirty face and remarked.
It's the SOIL You bet" said the
hobo, and some day it will be worth
$1,000 an acre-that's why I'm keep
in it" It's the soil' is frescoed
above the arch of the new Coliseum
theater. When one of the performers
OF that theater divests himself of
some of his clothes and then turns
his back to the audience, the soil"
sign is seen again, painted in large
letters on his vest. Sometim you
see IL flying from the tail of a kite up
in the air, and you hear it on every
street corner. The slogan is better
known than There's a reason and
There is hope" and a dozen other
catch phrases invented by clever ad-
vertisers. The difference between
clever and commonplace advertising
Is illustrated by the following com
told by a member of a club COM
posed of advertising men, the Sphinx
club of New York: "A few years ago
a man found himself out OF employ
ment, out Of money, and with a sick
wife on his hands. He got down to
his last five dollars before he thought
of advertising for job. Then he put
in an 'ad' that real like tirs:
Man Of 81, honest, intelligent, in
dustrious, wants work
That cost him sixty cents. He got
no returns. He inserted it twice
more without getting an answer.
Then he got desperate, and this was
the 'ad' he wrote:
For Gods sake, help a white
man! I'll lick policeman, eat a
mule or run department store I'll
do anything but steal IL l get a job.
Isn't there any employer with sense
enough to buy brainy man at panic
prices?'
The advertisement clerk was very
superior You don't want to put in
an advertisement Of this sort he
said. The advertiser said, If YOU
don't put that in as wrote it, | will
throw. you down those stairs He
received so -pany answers to the 'ad'
that he hardly knew which job to &C.
cept." -

c. S. Bergman brought in from
his place on North Center street last
week some full-grown almonds. The
almonds are not yet ripe, but they-
are so far advanced that they will
probably be ripe long before their
usual season. The winter has been-
mild and the frost did not
get the almond blossoms this year.
They are usually ready for harvest
in July, but from the size Of those
brought in by Mr.. Bergman, they
win doubtless be ready for picking in
early June.

MINING NEWS
COLORADO PLACER MINING
INTERESTS UTAH MEN

DR.. w H. Schock returned Monday
from trip TO his placer claims on the
Colorado river. He was accompanied
to the workings by a gentleman NAM
ed Ashley from Tonopah, New. who
is much interested in placer mining.
Mr.. Ashley was well pleased with the
sand and gravel deposits along the
river in which the yellow dust is
found, and If he can find profitable
way TO get power he will turn his at
teation to the development of the
placer beds on the river, says the
Richfleld Reaper.
The country Is 1at in the vicinity
OF the placer beds and there is not
much hope of water power for wash
ing purposes but there is a prospect of
electrical development which may
solve the question Of power.
The Good Hope company. which
owns a group of claims. has been pros
pecting for coal as a means for power
development and they have discovered
Il fine vein Of coal on what is known
as Hansen creek, distance OF prob
ably 10 miles from the placer beds 1t
Is expected that a power plant will be
Installed at that point and electrical
energy transmitted over the noun
tains To the placer beds. The coal
vein Is eight OF ten feet IN thickness
and Is of good quality. IT has been
worked for a number oe years by
rancher5 and miners for fuel and it
has been developed for Il distance Of
about IS feet
The placer beds OF the Colorado
lie down the river from the mouth
of the Dirty Devil and they extend a
distance OF sixty miles, There lis I'M
mense wealth lying in the gravel and
sand awaiting n proper process Of
development. The chief dimculty in
the way so far has been that there
has never been 4 practical placer
miner at the head of operations
Major Stanton sunk a large amount
of money IN development but the eX-
pendhre was poorly directed and
there was no great amount Of wealth
