WHAT THE COAST
VISITORS SAW.

douglas internationally
The business men of Los Angeles
who are now touring Arizona on a
trade excursion were in Douglas for
several hours Friday morning and
were shown over the city by COM
mittees chosen by the local chamber
of commerce and mines. The time
was all too short to give a full and
definite idea of the Importance of
Douglas. still the impression left
with these visitors will no doubt
be sufficient to cause the memory
of this city to linger long in their
memories.
The visitors. during their stay.
were accompanied by the wide-awake
and progressive business men of
Douglas, who pointed out the prin-
cipal points of interest in the city
and acquainted them with the far
extending and rich country sur
rounding it.
The visitors were told of the great
mineral industry at Cananea. Naco-
zari, FL Tigre, cumpas and Mocte-
yuma districts in Sonora, and that
all these districts with their great
"copper" gold and silver mines were
directly tributary to Douglas.
The visitors were told OF the great
Warren mining district at Bisbee,
which they saw later in the day, and
Of it's inexhaustible copper mines
which have been constantly pouring
a stream of the red metal into the
lap of commerce for thirty years
and about the seventy to eighty
cars of copper ore coming from
there daily to the smelters in this
city.
The visitors were told OF the new
CORTLAND district. about Cleeson and
/ Pearce. and how these tributary dis
tricts are growing in the amount o
mineral production. They were tol,
of the rich mineral country in thu
Chiricahuas and the Huachuc;
mountains from which ore win COM
in the future to the great smelter
now in Douglas and yet to come.
While the visitors were being re
called by their guests with historical
information of Douglas and its tris

Arizona nearing completion and
learned that more than some fifty
teachers were employed in these

to any TO be found in the west
which has reduced insurance rates

they saw a library building supplied
with a large collection of books,
magazines and newspapers entirely
supported by the generosity of the
Copper Queen Mining company;
they saw at the country club a hand
some club house and golf links
where this popular game may be

and about the assurances for the
future the business men of Los An
