TO INVESTIGATE
SULPHUR VALLEY
Government Sends GeOlOgl-
cal Survey Men in For
Investigation.

The United States geological survey
has sent o. E. Meinzer into the Sui
phur Spring Valley. Arizona, and viii
continue at work there for some time
1t is expected that three or f2ur
months vii be required for the study
which it is hoped to make complete
and accurate so that the results when
published will serve as a reliable 1oun-.
dation for such future development OF
the valley as may be based upon It's
underground water supply.
This practically means that at least
the 100000 acres of government land
in Cochise county. southern Arizona,
with Douglas as headquarters, Is TO have
the attention of the government experts;
and that the we'll known underground
water flow in the valley, which IS al
ready being used for the twO BIG smell
tiers at Douglas, which have through
their wells a supply OF 1900 gallons
minute at each plant. and by hundfeus
of ranchmen and farmers VINO nave
homesteaded upon the land wmeh =
now earning them a living & :,
So far the water has been developed
bv three systems; first. by compressed
air at the smelters, second. by wind
mills which dot the valley for dis
fance az $50 miles north and south ana
third bv propeller and centrifugal
pumps. operated by gasoline engines
There is an artesian flow OF water
developed in the San Simon valley d.
rectIv east of the Sulnhur Springs val
lev. and also in the San Pedro valley
to the west. and it has long been the
dream of the people in southern Ar
iona that only a test Is necessary 10
prove artesian flow in the Sulphur
OIL Of
great areas of vastly fertile land open
to government entry. If the thorough
tests made by the geological survey
prove the adequate supply OF under
ground water for pump irrigation,
Whether or not artesian flow Is demon
strated. the valley will during the COM
inc winter see one of the greatest IN
fluxes of homesteaders recorded IN the
southwest.
With two months of rain. during July
and August, irrigation flow Is necessary
to the harvesting CT full crop for the
month of June alone. as the rainy sea-
son natures anv stand crops well start
ed before the first rainfall which usu-
allv occurs about July f. In fact. the
valley is already producing heavy croDs
of beans. sorghum, milo maize. kaffir
corn, all vegetables peaches and grapes
and potatoes and melons, with a very
limited development of its underground
water resources. Itis only natural that
the governments announcement to dem
onstrate the value Of the water flow has
been received with rejoicing by every
body interested in southern Arizona.
Douglas especially will be iarTelv bene-
fitted. for with two great smelters,
which treat SO percent of the copper
mined in Arizona. as well rs nearly all
the ores brought over the border from
Sonora. an active market will be sup
piled for everything grown in the great
and rich valley at last brought to the
attention Of the government.

MORENCI ROBBER
WAS A COOL ONE
Rides Out of Town UneX-
cited With Men Shoot
ing at Him.

Morenci AriZ.. Sept. S.-One of the
most daring holdups that ever occurred
In this section was witnessed when a
lone robber at the point of a gun Sc
cured all the counter money of the
local branch Of the ella Valley bank,
and got away with his haul.
The bank is located on the first moor
of the Morenci hotel building in
prominent part of town. About 1880
a m. bookkeeper Neptune was on duty
alone There were no patrons in the
bank. though a number were around
the hotel when the modern jessie
James made his appearance.
Deliberately hel closed both doors
leading into the bank and pulled down
the window curtains, then at the point
of his big gun demanded the book
keeper to pass out all fhe loose money
Somewhere between $500 and $1,000
9le raked into a canvas sack and then
coolly walked out of the bank and
down the walk to the plaza in front
Of the hotel, where his horse was tied
In the meantime Neptune had spread
the alarm and several people from the
hotel opened fire on the robber. He
replied with four shots from a re-
pea1ing rifle; then transferring the
money from the sack to his saddle
bags. he mounted and rode at walk
down past the Morenci Southern shops,
iwhere he hung the spurs to his horse
and galloped away.
The GOODNESS and audacity OF the
robber is probably what enabled him
no effect such a complete getaway in
ibroad daylight in the heart Of the
city.
e Deputy Scott and posse were soon
hot foot on the trail but lost track of
their man in the hills southwest OF
MoTenci.
The robber wore no mask, but had
a three months growth Of beard on
