will find their neighbors very agree
able during their stay.
Senator Mark Smith, when he first
went to Arizona, lived on a hill twenty
miles from Bisbee, in the county seat
of Cochise county, which is Tombstone.
The county was named after an
old Apache chief. Representative Carl
Hayden of Arizona is well known all
through that district and is frequent
visitor in Bisbee, where his private
secretary, Joe Maldanado. resides. Mr..
Maldanado is a Spanish American. M.
l. McKelligon, private secretary to Sem
ator Ashurst, and secretary of the In
dian affairs committee of the Senate,
also lives in Bisbee. and has been a
resident on the border for more than
thirty-five years. He has been inter-
ested in some of the mining properties
the District troops will protect.
The camp of the District soldiers will
probably be in the canyon directly east
of the city proper. from which site,
looking directly south through a defile
in the hills, there is a view right across
the border. The camp will really be in
a pocket in the hills six miles from the
border, with a valley leading directly
into the Naco fiat, beyond Sacramento

passes by the camp site. There are
a number of well conducted dance halls.
Next to the camp site is a base ball
park, where the soldiers can play all
the games they want. There is also a
good country club not far from the
camp, which has fine golf course. The
best natural roads in the country are
around Bisbee, Douglas and the town
of Naco, all of which will be on the
beat" of the District militia.
The men will find no paper money in
Bisbee. Coin is the invariable tender,
and there are no pennies. either. 1t will
be easy for the soldiers to conduct their
financial affairs for there is well
equipped bank in Bisbee. which is oc-
cupying a beautiful new building.
While they are in camp at Bisbee the
Washington men will be in close touch
with the Red Cross distributing station
which has just been opened at Doug
las. Douglas is the smelter town for
Bisbee, thirty miles due east. The ore
is sent there on trains, and as this is
the chief commercial outlet from the
city avenue of trade is well kept.

the Signal Corps is depended upon for
valuable service. according to the de-
cisions rachel by close students of the
war game.
It is figured that there are just three
places where the District soldiers
would be called upon for guard duty
at Bisbee, where extensive American
property rights and mining interests
are to be protected; Douglas, which is
the smelter center for the Bisbee ore.
and at Naco, on the border where the
water pumping station for Bisbee Is
located.
In case Of war the District, soldiers
might be called upon to go south of
the border and occupy Cananea. the
headquarters of big American interests
in Mexico. 1t is the center Of the
Greene Consolidated Copper Company.
There is located one of the largest and
most continuous bodies of ore ever
found. More than forty miles of
undergrounds openings have been
made. This plant is the most efficient
in the southwest and has produced
S0.000.000 pounds of copper per annum
at cost of 9 cents per pound. There
are several other valuable mining prof.
ects adjacent.
Bisbee has never experienced a Mex
lean raid, and none Is feared. The To-
cation of the District soldiers at this
point is believed to be precautionary,
strategic and to discourage any plans
for an attack giving entrance into Cali
fornia and Kansas. If, however, there
should be an attack and the District
militia were haru pressed they could
readily be reinforced. Only thirty five
miles west is the barracks of Fort
Huachuca. This is a large post and

Ing them wholesome exercise and

Experts of the weather bureau report
that the annual mean temperature of
Bisbee for the last seventeen years
has been so degrees, running from 74.6
in June to 45.3 in December. The
nual mean minimum temperature for
the same period has been As. running
from ST. in June to- 34.9 in December.

have plenty of service to perform in
guarding three and possibly four i'm

temperature between day and night is

of the less elevated districts the tempera-

frosts are rare, due partly to the prevail

The camp at Bisbee is considered by
military authorities to be a strategic
post. That is one reason why an effort
was made to keep secret the destina-
ton of the District soldiers. The fact
that the sandy stretches for miles about
the town make foot marches practically
impossible is taken as best evidence
that the Sd Infantry and the list Sepa-

patrol and garrison guard rather
than for a march beyond the border.

The rains of summer are local in

influence of the mountains interposing
their masses to the free passage Of

their passage over the high elevations

densation and precipitation, and while
