Around and about it are suburbs where dwell upwards of 5000 more. To all intents and purposes, except for municipal government they form one community with Bisbee the heart. the throbbing business center. the

Largest and most important of the suburbs of Bisbee, directly contiguous 10 and rubbing shoulders with the city itself is Lowell. Larger than many cities of Arizona, far buster than most and with a taxable wealth which exceeds that of any city in Arizona lfor within its confines are most of the mining shafts of the great Warren DistricD Lowell is not a city. is not a town. It is merely a "Pre- cinct' It has no local government other than that which is furnished by the county

 know just what they are doing and they are perfectly satisfied with the result They appear to get on just as well as if incorporated into city or town and operating under a charter from the state It is possible that they get on better At any rate its residents are satisfied and can give good reasons for their satisfaction
 Lowell Likes Independence. As often as it has been proposed that Lowell should be annexed to Bis bee its people have objected There are no people more loyal Co the War ren District but Lowell is jealous of preserving its identity and of losing it's integrity Lowell is Lowell. a part of the Warren District and not Of Bisbee And objection to annexauon is not merely a sentimental matter. Asked why they do not consent 10 annexation or else incorporate into a town or city the Lowellite win reply Why should we? We are doing very well as we arc? Why add burden to our taxation? What have We To gain?
 And the reply is not easy Lowell has a paved business street running right through it. Its business section is we'll lighted. It is well policed by county officials It has it's fire fight ing equipment and its volunteer fire department It has its post office and railway station. lt has it's schools Yet it pays no city or town taxes. It lis growing rapidly in population and resources. It continues building up. Its growth and progress is at least commensurate with all other sections of the district not excepting Bisbee Lowellites have good reason to be satisfied with their lot and to be aloof to changing it, perhaps for worse
 Has Room 10 Expand
 Geographically Lowell Precinct is rather irregular in shape It joints the city ot Bisbee on the east and originally it comprised all of the War. ren District east, north, east and south of Bisbee, where new precincts have been made, these were taken from Lowell and went to cause its irreg- ularity Of line. In area it is greater than Bisbee and it has far more room for growth and home building than have either Bisbee or Warren Parts of it may be locally known by other

names as Johnson Addition, Upper Lowell, etc, but in reality all of these are part of Lowell Precinct
 By the census of 1910 the precinct of Lowell was given a population of 1856 That included Warren Today, exclusive of Warren, now a precinct unto itself it's population is conserva- lively estimated at between 5000 and 6OOO, such estimate being based on the vote cast in the last state election and on the greatly increased school attendances as well as the volume of its business growth In the nature of things its growth cannot but con tinue
 Mines Make Lowell
 Lowell is the direct result of the growth and progress of mining in ,he Warren District At first the mine shafts were an at or very close to Bisbce New shafts were put down further away. Mine operatives want ed 10 live close to their work Homes were built and thus came Lowell. Stores and shops were wanted close 10 the newly~built homes They came and Lowell had business district It has several such districts along its main travelled thoroughfares. Low ell is not a town laid out on paper It is natural growth, or rather t is a number of natural growths
 Right from Bisbee's easterly city line population continues along Naco road and up the adjacet hiusides At the Mason house stop and at Johnson Addition considerable business dis tricts have grown up All of these go to make up Lowell From that city line all the way 10 the Denn Bridge below Lowell is fine road paved with biul.thic pavement, laid by the county It forms Low eus main street
 Main Business District.
 What may be termed Lowell proper is really the business heart of Lowell where the car line turns away from streets and roads and seeks the open country on its devious way to War ron. It is congested into two blocks. Here are bank and p0stonice. depart ment store. drug store. lumber yard. butcher shops and groyery stores, the atro, restaurants. 'amusemcnt places and garages and a score of large rodm- ing houses.

City of Bisbee Surmounts Many Obstacles and is Pacemaker
 asSouthwest GoesF Forward

lt was 3S years ago, in the month of August 1877. that the first mining claim in Mule Culch was located and Inc filing made by Jack Dunn and as- sociates. Their filing was made just one day later than that of Schiefeln and his associates in the Tombstone District But copper predominated in the Mule Mountains and silver at Tombstone and the more valuable metal attracted tho greater attention. So It took years for Mule Gulch. later Go be known as Bisbee to be proven and Go come into its own
 As often happens the city that grew up near the first mining claim to be located bears another name than that uf the locator. and SO it is also with the mining District that is now recognized as the most important in the Southwest Jack Dunn is all but forgotten and fingers only in the mem ories of a few of the oldest old tnqers.
 Given New Name
 For years the little settlement of shacks that grew mp near ore out croppings on a hillside continued to b,s known as Mule Cullen and then it WIS named Bisbee and that name is as often connected with the mines taat made the city and made it famous as is tho name of the Warren Mining Dis trict
 Pioneers Face Perils.
 The prospectors who laid the foun- datiou for a great mining community faced more than ordinary dangers. met more than ordinary difficulties. ovcrcame more than ordinary ob- staclos The country where they pros pected was infested by the aercest. most hloodthirsty. most dreaded of sayages the Apaches The location they selected was far from an rail. roads, up in desert mountains. reached only by trails they had to break through narrow canyons. gulches and gorees.

For years the burro train was the only method of freight transportation that was known. Then came the wagon train and years auerward the rail road
 Growth Slow At First.
 The early history of Mule Gulch or Bisbee does not differ materially from that of other copper mining camps There was no rush such as precious metal camps can boast of, no days that may be termed Bonanza. Its mines had to be developed and proven its growth was naturally slow. At first few shacks, a small store. a saloon, more shacks, more stores. stul more saloons the dance hall. the gambling tables an of the features of the old time and the border mining camp, fol- lowed ono after the other It was the ultimate proving that vast mineral re- sources existed in the hills an about that made the growing up of mod ern city not only a possibility but @ natural result. With increasing forces at work homes had Co be provided and business houses naturally came in.

l Precautions against fire and flood made for a more substantial type of l building
 Big Company Helps. It is true that much of the growth | of Bisbee, much of the substantial ap- 1 pearance which makes it diner from other copper camps. is due to the Cop per Queen Mining Company. The ] progress Of the camp did not really begin until the advent of that com pany. It is true that the stockhold- CTS on more than one occasion were ready 10 abandon the workings and were only persuaded to continue through the insistence of D1. James Douglas, but it was the work of that company at first with the Atlanta company as its neighbor, then with the Calumet and Arizona and the Su- perior and Pittsburg companies that finally determined how the mineral resources about Bisbee were beyond estimate or appraisal
 Tn connection with a policy since then steadily continued. the Copper Queen company looked to the com fort of it's operatives. The company sought to help them to help them selves and it is directly and indirectly through the broad mindedness of the company that handsome public and semi-pu5lic buildings grew up all about the city
 Others, individuals, were workine, developing clains and the work of those individuals bore great results for the future progress of city. but it is essentially from the existence there Of such a company as the Cop per Queen, that the Bisbee of today exists, that it has grown and that it has prospered as has no other Arizona community
 Transportation Essential
 For profitable production of the baser metals cheap transportation is essential. Hence little was done in Arizona until the advent of the South ern Pacific railroad Some mining had been done in the Ajoes but these mines were in reach of the gulf of California and tide water. Yet such cheap transportation was not so es- sential to Bisbee as to other sections where copper had been discovered. Here the ore was so rich that it has resulted in the calling of the mines the Bonanza Belt" And it was only the richness Of the ore that made it possible to haul all supplies from Benson and the matte from the fur naces to that point for transhipment. and those were the conditions Bisbee had to meet until the Phelps Dodge Interests, who were back of the Cop per Queen company constructed a railroad from El Paso west
 Shelter Moved Away
 Al first one small furnace was all there was in Mule Gulch to smelt the ore. Later larger plants were put in and finally a shelter that was suffici- ent for purposes at that time, though only the richness of the ore made it SO. Later that shelter was abandoned when the Copper Queen and Calumet and Arizona companies erected their

THE BIG PROBLEM.

THE BIG PROBLEM.-'Tw was hun
gry-and / became the brute of many
thousand years ago."
Thus saith Homer Newman, ex-
college student, young man who
dubbed a weIl-to-do San Franciscan,
took his money, bought food and
landed in Jail, after long fruitless
effort to find honest employment.
1t was prehistoric man and society
face to face. The only difference the
thousands of years had made was
that the man and the society had on
more clothes. The man was starry
ing and society had denied him OPP
portunity.
Modern society owes no man iv-
ing. 1t does owe every man an OPP
portunity to make a living. Denial of
opportunity means return. to the
brute. 1t is our duty to wage unceas-
ing warfare on restriction or mo-
nopoly of opportunity. Control this
matter wisely and most of our other
problems are easy.
