made a practice of changing doctors
on the slightest provocation, not long

had gained a considerable reputation.
He was telling the doctor what he
thought was the trouble with him,
when the doctor ventured to disagree
with the diagnosis.

 AN EXCITING TIME
Coast Auto Man, Starts for Scene of Road Activities and Gets Caught
 Short on Tires

Here is where one Richard Hollings- worth again gets his name in the pa per You see. he told The Republican man yesterday that he would get him out to the scene of all that good roads work Dick had him an Abbott De- troit hoOt mamie that he had got from Heinie Schewel of Florence, and when he cut loose to take the press to tha scene, he did so with enthusiasm and Verve. But a bum casing would not stand the strain and so it exploded frightfully right near Acre City.
 Dick beat it back to the city with some innocent passers-by and the re- porter caught MT. F. H. Ensign for a ride to the park.
 Dick sailed into Payne and Saufley'x and demanded a tire. The service man took the tube and casing, the two mounted the service car. They proceeded to Acre City and the service man put the tire on, denying Dick the right to touch the work All this en- aoled the party to be described in the words of the country correspondent, a good time was had by all"
 Anyway, that's service for you,' commented Dick

The Days of '49 Brought Back
 Description of Ajo as it Really Looks

young fellows who smoke bull-dog pipes and speak BOstonese. And for a finisher, glance at the perfect dirt tennis court in the center of the clear ing. where aforesaid smoking chaps may be found swinging rac- quets after work hours They are ] there to stay, apparently, and while they are foregoing the comforts of the' | large city, they are not giving up that part of club life that is most adaptible to existence way out there on the desert. They will be athletic
 When we visited Ajo We found about 1 1900 persons occupying the town and the adjacent desert. Not all of them were regular Ajoites. Many had been 1 lured there by exaggerated accounts of the wonderful new copper camp in outside papers. They were the ones who rushed in where angels feared to tread. But perhaps waiting for work to develop for them is just as agree able there as it would have been in their home towns. At any rate, they i will be on the ground and will grab 1 the first plums of opportunity, when 1 the mines open up and provide work 1 for thousands. Some of them are willing away their waiting by engaG- ing in temporary business. Ajo has a picture show, d pool hall, a Japanese reStaurant-alsO several '.loncheriaS' | put in by members of the large MeXi- can colony. Three or four pretty well 1 stocked general merchandise stores are operating and cleaning up good profits. Business men of the stamp o> , the QuirOZ brothers are already invest | ing profits from their merchandising | in town property, which will some day put them in the class of founders of our first families.
 The stubby yard engines are shunt- ing supply cars about network of newly laid tracks. Machine shops are under construction. While passenger | service has never been scheduled on the Gila Bend-Ajo road, the rails are all in place, the little bridges still | smell of the creoSote that was slapped on to armor the piles against the very infrequent moist spells. yet work trains, freight trains filled with sup
 plies are running from the main line
 Med1Wnlle, AJO remains SlnSle street of rude shacks, winding up a draw, the said street blazing white and dusty in the sun. the habitate of little clothed Mexican children and hurry
 ing motor cars, with here and there a sturdy or puny team. as the owner happens to be the company or some Mexican rancher or wood hauler from
 the nearby mesquite.
 Access to Ajo is still by means of
 the auto stage lines that run from Gila Bend. The rains of last month made a boulevard of the road, forty three miles of as perfect desert road as can be found any place in Arizona. The deep dust and the high centers that disgusted travellers last December are both gone, and the motorist can satis fly his craving for real speed From Gila Bend to Ajo in one hour and 5I minutes was the record of Dr. Boido on his recentest trip.
 Heavy freight wagons will be used on this road but a few more weeks. l Then all traffic of that sort will be bv way of the railroad, and the highway will be left for the private motorlst. It will not again be so badly cut up as it was during the past few months.

Never having seen q '49-er camp we ought not make comparisons involving those interesting things of the gold seeking days. But the memory of Bret Harte encourages one to affirm the likeness of Ajo, Arizona, to one of the strongholds of red-eye and the gun totinS miners of the days when California first acquired press agents. 1t is so different
 An assembly of Phoenicians once listened to a long dissertation on Ajo by man it had sent there to investi- gate. But no string of statistics on ore production can describe Ajo. There will be none such in this effort
 Ajo is mining city in the making right now. It is the application of cap ital to the productive wastes. It is a wise application, too. Most anyone would apply capital there The wis dom lies in the manner in which everything is being built. No narrow minded developers of a huge fortune are directing the city of A jo in this, it.. infancy. Somebody with an idea ol the future a dream of a perfect mine is back of it. Unlucky, the commun- | ity that was-and still is Ajo-built l itself on the bed of ore where it crops out in great gObs. So, that commun- i ity has to be heaved to one side to
 make way for the men with the steam shovels. As real estate. the upper ra- vine, where most of the population
 now resides, is no bueno DOT nada. As ! material for the concentratorS, it is all
 to the good. So, the town is to be
 moved down t-e arroyo half mile
 or so, in order that the surface ore may
 be crushed and sent through the plant.
 l The C. and A. company is even now
 completing grading a townsite, where Ajo will live when things get organized
 As soon as the new location is fit the tent houses and little cottages will be moved and new ones udded to become the nucleus of a second Bisbee. Then
 the concrete mills will be constructed
 the workmen will get busy on the
 ores and the production will start. The extreme care that was taken tc measure and test the ore body is re- 1 flected in the careful planning of the community. The best locations for 1 all the parts of the plant have beer
 set aside. Some nine miles below the | town, out on the alluvial fan that wa: built by the ravine in which Ajo now , lies the C. and A. company has con | Structed it's highly modern and eff
 cient pumping plant. This was not
 completed when the writer visited the l place. This is a plant over which one may get enthusiastic. Imagine huge boilers, derricks all same oil field

George H. Reuben of the Kissel Auto Company started for Tucson early Sunday morning, in one of those High Efficiency Thirty -twos made by Kissel, but he didn't get there. But his failure to arrive was not due to anything less than the fact that the ferry across the Gila at Florence was temporarily out of com mission. So all that Reuben got out Of 1t was very pleasant ride to Florence and return, including one sand pulling stunt between the depot and the ferry station. Today he will ship his car to Maricopa by rail and from there will drive to Tucson He has received a number of inquiries recently from southern Arizona re- garding the Kissel and is going to let the curious ones have a look at the real thing
