[ Coconino in the north to the mineral laden hills of Cochise In the south On the plains are the paved and bril- liantly lighted towns and in the towns are the splendid homes of a people who have seized unto them , selves all that is best in the twen- tieth century luxury and refinement.
 A famous traveller once said that "An cities are alike" This is not true however, of the cities of Ari- zona, each of which has a distinct individuality. There is only one feature of Arizona cities that could make them all alike and that feat. ure is the people The people are the same wherever you go in that sunlit land. whether you find them in the cities or out in the wi.ds They are all great-hearted, wholesome peo- pie; hospitality is a creed with them. their souls are big and open like the big open country in which they dwell.
 
 the territory as 1t Is perhaps the oldest white mans town within the boundaries of the United States. Tucson was founded over two and quarter centuries ago and near the city still stands in a fine state of preservation as well as restoration the noble old church of San Xavier al rf s..f. g,,r relics of the past to be found on the western hemisphere. But Tucson. though proud of its past. Is today very modern city in every respect. It is a great commercial and rail road center. it has splendid homes and schools and is the seat of the University of Arizona. Fine parks within the city and grand natural scenic resorts near by are among the features that make Tucson admired and sought.
 Phoenix is the capital of Arizona and for other reasons is, in some re- spects. the most Important city of the territory. It is built in the heart of the great Salt River Valley where irrigation was subjected to a stupendous test with the result that an area of land larger than the States of Delaware. Rhode Island and Connecticut. which was once bare and desolate and profitless is now a vast green garden studded with tim Der and fruit orchards. The valley is watered by the storage of the Roosevelt dam, which stands as one of the most celebrated irrigation feats in all history Here also is the home of the ostrich and the date industry in America
 Bisbee is at present the copper metropolis of Arizona and the town that has done most to place Arizona in her proud position as the fore most producer of that valuable metal in the world. 'Bisbee never sleeps !" as the saying goes. Night and day. Sunday and Monday the whole year round. miners are at work in her stupenduous caverns sending out to the smelters at Douglas millions of tons of ore. The monthly payroll Is in excess of a half million dollars a month. Here is indeed the very heart of the ancient treasures of Cibo'a from which the Aztecs dug un- told wealth that attracted the avari- cious Cortez. Yet the Aztec, the Spaniard and all failed to exhaust nor will the white man with his restless energy be able to do so for centuries to come.
 Douglas is known as ~The Smelt- CT City" for it is there that are located the vast reduction works of both the Copper Queen and Calumet and Arizona companies, the mines of which are at Bisbee. It is a most beautiful city. lying as it does in an irrigated valley. Its streets are not ab.y wide and bright and lined with flower-embowered homes. the year around. l. is on the line of both the Southern Pacific and Fl Paso & Southwestern railways. The South. rern Pacific is also now building |. south from Douglas to Guaymas in Old Mexico. Fine ranches surround , the city and the town has an inter . national aspect, our sister republic of Mexico lying with it's northern boundary right at the gates of Doug , las.
