TRIBUTE TO A
 SOUTHWESTERN BUILDER.
 Now that Dr. James Douglas has finished his visit to Arizona and re turned to New York, the Arizons papers are expressing their apprecia ton of the man in no uncertain terms. The Bisbee Review says:
 Dr. James Douglas. president o the Pheips-Dodge company, left last night for New York. He arrived in Bisbee two weeks ago coming over the Santa Fe road to Phoenix. Since then. accompanied by Walter Douglas general manager of the company, he has visited the Old Dominion mines at Globe, the Detroit Copper com pany properties at Morenci the mine in Bisbee, the smelter at Douglas and the property of the Moctezuma Copper company at Nacozari.
 Dr. Douglas has been coming to Arizona annually and often as many J quater of a century. Under his guid- ance the principal copper districts in Arizona have been developed and Morenci Bisbee. Douglas and Naco- zari are the results of his untiring energy and scientific knowledge of the copper industry. This industry was reyoiutionized in Arizona years ago when Dr. Douglas introduced the Bessemer converter successfully in in Bishee.
 Dr. Douglas is always welcome whenever he comes to the great southwest and especially in Arizona where he has provided the capital and plans for the wonderful advancement,
 The expressions of the Arizona papers concerning Dr. Douglas are So much at variance with those usually applied to men of great wealth who stand at the head of great manufac- turing or industrial enterprises, as to command more than mere passing notice. They serve to show that

From the sordid and money-grasping financial centers of the east, where the mind of man runs in but one narrow and sordid channel, to the free demo cratic and aPpreciative districts of the southwest where all men constitute a loyal brotherhood and where every man is known and appreciated 10, what he really is, is a far jump but 1t is a jump that Is well wortf the taking. And when this man ot great affairs, on whose shoulders rests the burden of so much weighty responsibility and whose mind must be soreiy oppressed at times wits the eupidity of mankind in genera tires of his eastern environments how refreshing it must be to spend a few weeks in the more congenial sur roundings of the southwest wher. all things are so distinctively differ ent.
 In the heart of the great minera district of Arizona, which is being developed so largely through ths instrumentality of his genius and capital, or rolling over the smooth rails q the great railway system that is being built as an additional developer of this section, the heart of Dr. Douglas must swell with pride and his very soul exult ovei the realization that to him has been given the power to make all these things possible. and his southwestern
