of sport for the hunter, among the
big game being bear, deer, wolf,
mountain lions, coyotes, foxes, squir-
rels and wild turkey.
Every road out Of Flagstaff leads
the way to new delights. Each turn
in the road opens up new panoramas
worth seeing. A stream drops into q
pit about miles from the city, dis
appearing forever. Nearby are large
pits into which rocks may be dropped
without any resultant sound or other
indications that there is bottom. A
number of beautiful caves are close
at hand, some Of which are Of great
proportions although none has been
fully explored. Cliff dwellings Of pre-
historic races remain in good preser-
walton about nine miles away. The
Natural Stone Bridge of Arizona
which dwarfs that Of Virginia, Mon
tezuma's Castle and the mysterious
lake in the extinct crater of an old
vulcano known as Montezuma's Well
and numerous other marvels are close
at hand and can be reached from
Flagstaff.
As summer and as health resort,
Coconino county is unexcelled and in
time will come to be known as one Of
the greatest health restoring COM
munities in the county for those at
tackled by the "Great White Pleague."
If you are looking for a place to live
and thrive, surrounded by the beaut-
les of nature and all that goes to
make "life worth living" write to F.
O. Allen, immigration Commissioner,
Flagstaff, Arizona, for additional
facts and figures and any specific in
formation about Coconino county or
what it has to offer.

Cor Northern Route) since it presents
path open practically all the year
and pleasant at every point and made
doubly desirable by the multiplicity
of marvels to be encountered at short
intervals along its historic length.
Our county has spent nearly $4,000
in lettering this highway and it's
branches. The Federal Government
has expended more than $4,000 on
the portion between Flagstaff and
Williams. This road, in conjunction
with the portions built and being fin
ished by the other counties is attract
ing autoists from all over the world,
who are learning that Arizona offers
the most delightful portion of the
"Across the Continent" journey and
that instead of cacti and sandy wastes,
the traveller passes through endless
forests of giant pines and is lured to
delays by scenery so surprising in

UNSURPASSED BEAUTY
OF COC0NIN0 SCENERY

Natures marvels have done much
towards advertising Coconino county
and in bringing to our borders sight
seers from all over the world. Within
radius of 100 miles of Flagstaff,
there are probably more natural
wonders than within the same area
anywhere else in the world. And
these wonders are unique; The Grand
Canyon, 65 miles from Flagstaff is
stupenduous not only as the biggest
hole in the world, but as presenting q
great miracle in the riot of coloring
that defies the skill of the artist to
more than approximately its ever
changing hues. Close at hand is the
painted Desert" reached by trail
that proceeds for miles through q
magnificent forest Of towering pines.
Close at hand is Sunset Mountain
with it's mysterious ice caves. Beyond
are the San Francisco Mountains
whose peaks reach the altitude of
1874 feet and whose bald tops are
seldom entirely free from snow, in
surfing a permanent source of water
to fill the 100000 gal. reservoir re-
Gently built.
There are several beautiful little
lakes near Flagstaff and these, to.
gether with Oak Creek, 10 miles
away, provide splendid trout fishing.
The surrounding forest offers plenty

The land itself, although only 4,735
acres are under cultivation, is assess
ed at $130.925.
The improvements on this land are
assessed at S27,44O.
There are 446,299 acres of grazing
land valued at $731,936.
The improvements on this land are
valued at $54,2S3.
There are 1920 horses, mules and
asses on the grazing land valued at
$253,966.
There are 91,O69 cattle on the graz
ing land valued at S2,361,330.
There are 2S2,992 sheep on the
grazing land valued at $3,999,S3S.
Town lots together with banks,
stores and merchandise are valued at
almost S2,OOO,OOO.
There are $4,000 worth of auto
mobiles in the county.
The railroads pay taxes on $S,O73,-
TO worth of property while the pro-
perty of other public service corpora
tons is valued at s167,346.
In addition, there is nearly $4,000
900 more to be considered under the
head of "all other property
In 1896, not quite 20 years ago, the
population of the county was about
5000 while the assessed value of all
it's property was only S2,099,455. The
census of 1910 showed population
of 1910 which should mean that $3.50
people are living in the county in
1915. The assessor is now charging
taxes on S16,2O6,O4s worth of proper
ty. Thus without any boom or arti-
fetal stimulus, the value of assessed
property in the county has increased
S14,106,593. This in itself is an elo-
quent testimonial to the constantly in
creasing value of property in the
county and gives fair insight into
what may be expected in the future.

county will be exploited. The mineral
prospects are found in that part of
the county bordering around Grand
Canyon. Lack of railroad facilities
to the mines is one of the main fact
ors that has contributed largely so
far to the lack of interest in mining
enterprises.
Schools
The public schools of Coconino
county have always enjoyed prosper
ity and have been ably administered
through the laws of Arizona which
are very liberal in providing the
means for counties to further the
cause of education.
A large increase in attendance over
last year was noted in the reports
from the various districts this year
and the people of the county are TAX
ing more and more interest in the
manner in which the schools are con-
Quoted.
