chapel It is a bit picked out from Asia. In ruins for hundreds of years, it is again living. The master build CTS who wrought it's wonderful de- sign, who planned rts towers, dome5 and divers details, are not known, but their work will live long to tell the story of an early labor of love.
 From Tucson we journey south, going through Tombstone. Who has net heard of Tombstone? We know now why it was called Tombstone. The conglomeration Of rocks, granite houlders, resembling nothing more than tombstones, are in evidence in every direction. No wonder the wandering prospector, in deciding upon a name for the locality, de- cided on Tombstone.
 From Tombstone we go to Bisbee, the great mining town. Here are extensive mining interests, world famed for their importance. The town is built in a narrow canyon or course to be near the shafts of the different mines. It is a very interesting place to see.
 From here we journey to Douglas, which is built on the border. Douglas is called the "Smelter City" Here the ore from the Bisbee mines IS turned into copper Across the line from Douglas is Agua Prieta-Blacil Water, is the meaning. Several skir- mishes occurred at this Mexican town at different times during the years Of revolution in Mexico and a few bullets were found straying in Douglas.
 From Douglas the road journeys into New Mexico, and then to Texas. but our concern is only with Arizona. Back to Phoenix to start again in another direction. This time we fol- low our trip just taken, until we leave Mesa, then instead of turning south and east we keep on due east 1 and take the trip to the Roosevelt dam Leaving Mesa our road runs straight as the arrow flight to the foot of Superstition mountain, rugged, I rough and rising abruptly out of q ; level plain-this rock mountain sheer walled and savage, appears to check the way. But around the foot l the road winds and we find a mar | row way not before seen. We are now winding and turning with easy grade. ever ascending, and always oXclaiming as some new wonder is unroled to view in this panorama = like succession Of surprises. No de-

A thousand feet be- low is Fish creek, and the little sta , tion house, where We are to lunch l looks like toy. The road is wid, and with easy grade. and the descent cf a thousand feet is quickly made After the meal we are quickly oE cur way There is the river, W,

 There are other roads to travel l so again from Phoenix we start this time to the west-for we want | to find an outlet into California From Phoenix the road goes throug, These are farming communities and prosperous places. After leaving the farm belt we journey through the desert across the country in q straight line until we reach Agua Caliente Springs. These springs are very important. They have curative properties which are recognized by many The time will come when they will be developed to the utmost. At present there is a fair hotel and the water can be utilized for bathing, but the extent of their possible de- velopment is hardly realized. Thou sands of Americans go each year to Europe and spend enormous sums of money to get the benefits of waters which do not in the least compare with the valuable properties con- tained in the waters of Agua Cali
