 a population of about 35,OOO With a climate unsurpassed by any place on the globe possibilities in any line may seek why look longer for place to locate?
 Educationally Cochise county has made rapid strides in advancement and ranks high with eastern states. There are ffty-seven school districts.
 The progress of the county in mineral discoveries, advancement in irrigation and stock raising has served to attract quite much attention
 The county in area is about s3 by s4 miles, and has 6147 square miles. an area larger than Rhode Island and Connecticut combined.
 While the copper mines are first in rank the yield of silver in Cochise county exceeds half of the total of the territory and in gold it produces about One-third of the total.
 In 1909 the copper mines yielded I4O.OOO- GOO pounds. The gold 2S.750 ounces. and silver 1.425,696 ounces.
 The industry which ranks next to min ing is that of stock raising.
 The foothills on each side of the mount aims are covered with nutritious grasses most of the year, which render them exceedingly valuable grazing land.
 The San Simon, San Pedro and Sulphur Springs valleys are covered with a luxuriant growth of grass which provides abundant feed for the immense herds of cattle and horses.
 While the agricultural industry is as yet in the bud, the possibilities indeed great
 In the Sulphur Springs valley an almost unlimited supply of water be obtained from ten to hundred feet below the sur face
 In the San Pedro valley the settlers have carried on extensive irrigation. and the sat isfactory result has been some very model farms yielding the most profitable returns.
 While much dependence is nlaced in ir- rigation the subject of dry farming has been taken up experimentally by a few and thus far the results have been very good.
 The prosperity of a county is in meas based the value of it's property. In 1903 the assessed valuation of Cochise County was s5.77O,00O, and in 1910 s19- 323,76S increase in seven years of S13- 553, ,763
 As is naturally understood it is the min ing industries that making Cochise county the greatest copper mining district in the world. In this county alone is produced one-third of the immense output of precious metals that is making Arizona of the worlds most noted mining regions
 During the year 1910. according to the annual reports of the companies, the Cop per Queen mines of Bisbee produced T 92s, ,357 pounds of copper. and the Calumet & Arizona 4s.16@,296 pounds. Neither company made any effort to break records On the contrary, the deliberate purpose to keep down production.
 The following shows the output of the Copper Queen mines from 1885 to 1910:

Down the canyon. about mile from Bis bee. is Lowell. brought into being by the loca- ton of new mining shafts and the extension of the industry sOuthward. It is active and enterprising little town. with retail stores in nearly every line.
 The business men have an organization and never let chance to promote the interests of their town along legitimate lines Johnson Addition joins Lowell on the north and also has retail stores Upper Lowell is about a mile west of Lowell, a community of resi- dences exclusively. and built in the midst of the Calumet & Arizona mine shafts

DOUGLAS

Douglas is situated in the southeast corner of Cochise county. The city is directly the International boundary between the United States and Mexico, and is the natural gate way. in a geological well as geogra phical sense, of the two republics since the Sudphur Springs valley, which crosses the line at this point, for centuries has been the traveled route between the old settlements of Mexico and the colonization of the southwest in the United States. The Spanish adventurers and missionaries passed up and down the valley; the Apaches made it their highway when their raids were planned in the Arizona war councils for depredations in Sonora, and today Douglas stands as the city of departure for all mining magnates cattle and tourists. who have business affairs to look after in the rich mining and grazing regions to the south. while the development of agricultural snurces in the Yaqui river gives the city still stronger to be known as the Gateway of Two Republics"
 The future of Douglas is made certain by the happy combination of unrivaled climate. the bounty of nature, and the big payroll of the two smelters located there. which give substantial employment to a larger working class than is usual in other cities in the southwest.
 Douglas is headquarters for all the deals transacted in Sonora mining properties. With in radius of hundred miles of Douglas all the thousands of mines and prospects in cluded in the great Warren district of Bisbee, Courtand. Gleeson, Dos Cabeos, the Chirca- huas, the paradise dist rict, Pearce, the Swiss helms, the Dragons, all in Arizona; the Lucky Tiger. Cinco de Mayo. Roy, Monte Christo. LampaZos. Pares.

 On the early history of Tombstone we will not dwell. although it is as wonderful and fascinating any romance ever written

 The population is about 170O
 The climate is of an excellence unsur- passed.
 The schools of Tombstone are of the best The buildings are spacious and commodious every attention being paid to improvements conducive to health and comfort of pupils. The personnel of the faculty is far above the aver age

These ranges pro- tect the valley from storms, and from their wooded heights is obtained much of the moist which finds it's way down to the low lands furnishing the underground water courses and summer floods which have made farming in the valley successful.
 SAN SIMON VALLEY
 few years ago the San Simon valley was but barren waste. Today. although farm ing has not yet reached the advanced stage desired the valley is dotted with many farms. some of which equipped with good dwell ings and other improvements. Some of these farms titled by the dry farming method. and with considerable success. Others ir- rigated with water pumped by windmills and gasoline engines

CANNOT EXAMINE WATER
SENT IN EARTHEN JUGS.

Richmond, Va, July U.s.
The little brown jug may have
it's uses and its abuses, say of
ficers of the State Health De.
partment, but it will not do as
a container in which to ship
specimens Of water for sanitary
examination.
The eartben jug, according
to health authorities, is made in
such way that while it may
be clean, its cleanliness can
never be assured. As a result,
water sent in these jugs, drawn
ina sanitary manaer, may re-
ceive organic matter from the
jug which will render the re-
suits of n sanitary examination
misleading. Hereafter water
received at the Health Depart.
ment for analysis shipped in
earthen: jugs will not be ex
amined.
