Mascot. both the city and the mine, long in the embryo, has arrived. With the completion of the railroad into the new town of Mascot, which was eel ebrated on June 15 1t can be truly said that another producing copper camp has been opened 10 Arizona and the world.
 Attended by two millionaire spec ials. from different points in the coun- try. the occasion of the celebration of the completion of the Mascot and Western railroad will go down into the history of Arizona's industIlal proeress as a redletter day It was important from a great many angles.
 u the first place, it. officially, op- ened to the outside world another big copper camp; secondly, it established a section of the state of Arizona Tn the minds Of all investors and others, as one which is capable of producing something besides -ase brush and mesquite blossoms; and thirdly, it dis closed to the state of Arizona and to the entire United States that there was a company of men who were able to do things in the face of almost iu- surmcgntable odds.
 For the completion Of the Mascot and Western railroad marked the or ening Of an immense vein of copper 10 the market Heretofore the com pauy. working manfully against odds ot every character has had 10 be sat isficd with sending small amount of ore Co the smeiter and there con yortinr ir into the red metal This has all bucH changed and in the very near future ft is forecasted that the Mascot mine. through the will of the president and oths rofiicers of the Cooperation, will ba on a paying basis and ranked with the best copper prop critics Tn the entire country
 More of a contrast can not be fur uisEed than that had at the Celcbra- tion held on the 18th of June The workable desert range was transform ed as if overnight, from the ancient and honored basking place of the savage Apache Co a hobitation of the Americans progress in the mining Of copper. The thousands of people who attended the celebration, who rartook of the wonderful, native bar becue offered. who listened to the words of wisdom from the lips of prom inent men, from cast and west, fully attested to the complete success of both the celebration and the object Of the celebration.
 Many years ago, as early as the seventies, there was a town known to stage drivers, to mail carriers, to har- dy pioneers, and to the rowing Apache and desperado as Dos Cabezas. It was situated in the dip of a little draw tributary to a vast eXpanse of valley which soon came to be called the Sulphur Springs valley The lit. tle town. in those early and dangerous days, was known as a stage stop. lt was west of Fort Bowie, where a com mand of United States soldiers was located.
 The little community consisting Of few adobes took its name from two bald, forbidding knobs of rock, which shot up from the surrounding noun tain chain, called the Dos CabeZas These two points were known as Dos Cabezas, the Spanish for two heads, and the name has nearly survived tho early day history of the community
 At the present time there is little left of the ancient in Dos Cabezas The community has been succeeded in everything except the government mail routes, by the town of Mascot Under the edge of the two, twin peak crops the copper from which the bil mining company is taking its toll O the ground
 only the pioneer of the section O. the man or men who entered tho Do Cabezas country when the Mascot va first prospected and taken over cal readily appreciate the change Tn casual visitor finds it difficult to i'm aeine the whole locality, or that par Of t which is dominated by the Mas cot Copper Company anything els than a big community in the maxim which has originated from the harC working minds of capable men. woulr seem that both the mining proI erty and the town site of Mascot Ina been worked upon for many yeari Tais however. i5 far from the trutl
