Romantic Duncan.

1t is said that a man, once upon
a time, wrote Of a quiet old South
ern city, where the men were
peaceful and the ladies romantic.
In this town, in the evening
hours, visitant, could from a :
most every home, hear the strains
OF the sweetest love song ever
written, Juanita. The echoes of
the unexpressed longings of the
races of humanity seemed to be
there expressed. Now Duncan
is a western town. but there is
about it the thoughts Of the life
that might have been, the deeds
that men can accomplish. The
spirit of Duncan is we'll typified
in the artistic temperament OF
one of our men of business. Mr.,
Cecil Harris. Mr.. Harris has
or did, in his boyehood days, write
a book, detailing the experiences
of himself fanda a chum, of like pro.
pensities, who made a trip aowE
a river. The experiences they
encountered, and the thought.
they thought, are the chapter:
of the book. but the most enliv
ening part of this production ar,
the illustrations, drawn by Mr.
Harris, that enliven its pages. 6
Nr. Harris is an illustrator o.
unusual artistry; his black. and
white sketches betraythe eviden
ces a delicate perception of thing
that are, and things that nigh
have been.
Duncan Arizonian., 1913-04-30

It's proposed to establisd in
Duncan a large creamery. There
IS no doubt that suchan enterprise
would be profitable to the own
ers. 1t is a fact that we have all
things necessary to maintenance
OF such an enterprise. Our alfal-
ia should be marketed in the form
of all products of the COW; beef,
milk, cream, butter.
Mrs. Willis, on Saturday morn
ing. left for a protracted visit
to her former home in the South.
While there she will visit num-
erous friends of girl hood days.
Duncan regrets that Mr.. Willis
will remain from Duncan for SO
long time.
J. E. Allen, accompanied by
his son and Messers. Page and
Hobbs, came over from Lords
burg last Sunday, for a few hours
stay. 1t is well that the citizens
OF the barren towns surrounding
are fortunate to the extent of be-
ing allowed a view of beautiful
Duncan. Our shade trees are
pleasing. Come to Duncan.

Arizona Progress

The large smelter being built
by the A. C. Co., at Clifton, IS
rapidly nearing completion. Inc
proportions of this structure are
enormous. The entire building
will occupy several acres OF
ground. 1t is one of the largest
and most modern smelters in the
world. The magnitude of the
copper interests of the conimunl-
ties to the West of Duncan can
scarcely be appreciated by those
who are not directly acquainted.
This is one Of the reasons OF Dun
cans prosperity. The immense
output of the ranches and farms
surrounding the Giia f nds in the
mining towns a ready market. at
the highest prices. The demands
of the population of those towns
can more than accommodate the
efforts on our part to supDly.
Every farmer, every cattle grow
er. in the Duncan country is as
sured of a ready market for any
of his products.

Duncan's Mineral Wealth

1t is rurnored that some of the
largest mining companies operat-
ing in the Southwest are obtain
ing rights in the section tributary
to Duncan. If these companies
once begin development in this
section, there is no doubt that the
fame Of Duncan as a mineral
center would spread over the en-
tire country. Those mines al
ready operating are securing a
fine dividend in proportion to the
amount invested; rather than the
copper Of the mining towns to
the west of us, these mines
produce gold and silver, besides
a plentiful percentage of copper.
