THE BUILDING OF A NEW SOUTH

The building of a new south de-
ponds primarily upon two things;
First, the live stock industry of the
south must be put upon its feet. Sec
ond, the south must solve its prob
lens by united effort on the part of
all states and all agencies, and con
certedly must place its advantages
and its claims before the world. Then,
and not until then, will millions of
acres Of virgin soil come into It's
rightfuI heritage and the southern
states take their place in the ranks
Of the great agricultural states of
the union.
Like Gaul in the days Of Caesar,
the south is physically divided into
three parts. These are the coastal
plain, the Piedmont section and the
mountain region. The coastal plain
may be separated from the Piedmont
section by drawing a line from Balti-
more to Washington, thence to Rich
mond, to Raleigh, to Columbia, to
Augusta, to a point Just south of At
lanta, to Montgomery, Ala, thence
sharply northward. The territory
west of Alabama is of course includ-
ed in the Mississippi Valley. The
Piedmont section extends from the
line mentioned to the foothills of the
Allegheny Mountains and the foot
hills of the Appalachian Range. The
mountain region is largely covered by
timber 1t is mostly utilized for
grazing purposes, with some agricul-
tural acsvities in the valleys. It's
wealth depends largely upon grazing,
upon the development of its water
power, upon its forestry and upon
the exploitation of its numeral re
| sources. Restoration and regulated
grazing will play a large part in its
future welfare. Restoration will be
somewhat assisted by the act known
as the Weems bill, which provides for
the acquisition of areas Tor forestry
purposes by the federal government
under the avowed intention of pre-
serving the headwaters of navigable
! streams.
Of the three divisions the Pied
mont section has acquired the great
est amount of civilization and activ-
ity. 1t is land of small plantations
II is land largely given over to one
crop--cotton. II Is a land whose
soil has been badly depleted and
which is fast passing under the ten
ant system.
Generally speaking the great coast
al plain was avoided by the early
settler. II extends from a trifle
south Of Norfolk. Va, along the coast
TO western Alabama. II embraces
Southern Alabama, Florida, Southern
Georgia, North Carolina and Souti
Carolina, and portions of Eastern
Virginia. II is comparatively level

possibilities, is capable of high de
velopment and is greatly misunder

work. 1t is a gigantic task and can
not be done by any single agency.
For the past thirty years one orgsni-
cation after another-the railroads,
the land companies, the real estate
men-have tried it in their own way
and to limited extent at some place
and at some time. These efforts
have met with varying degrees Of
success, but not once have they been
lastingly successful.
The first step must be the eradi-
cation of the cattle tick, so that live
stock raising may become profitable
and diversified farming a fact. The
next step must be the awakening of
a just interest in the south through
the proper diffusion of correct m
formation concerning the south. Once
this is done, the problem of settling
and developing the south viii solve
itself.

SHEELITE DISCOVERED
 ON HASSAYAMPA
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

The first discovery of sheelite in this field has taken place in the Has sayampa district, in mines owned by Louis Bernard, Valentine Allbarado and John Bernard, samples brought to the city few days ago confirming the strike. The extent of this dis covery is a three-inch streak hit on a 40-foot crosscut from the main tun- mel. and when analysed yesterday by a local assayer was pronounced as O! exceptionally high grade. The atten' tion of the above owners was called to their waste dump showing this and further investigation of the crosscut proved a continuous shoot for over 40 feet as existing. This property has been under devel- opment for many years for its silver values.

DUSTY SUBJECT OF
 SAWMILLS HUMOROUS
(From FridaY's DailY.l

EXpediency was the keynote of yes terday's session of the Arizona State tax conference in session at the Elks' theatre. The State tax commission and its conferees hustled through a good many classihcations of property, comparing the various counties, meth ods and amounts of taxation.
 Quite q little humor resulted from the dusty subject of sawmills, es- pecially when the various assessors were called on the floor as to what the sawmills in their counties were doing. One sawmill, it was reported, had been sold for taxes. Another did not show the least activity when the assessment was made and still an other assessor reported that he taxed a couple of small mills just to show some industry in his county in the northern part of the State.
 It was brought out at the confer ence that Coconino county is the only county in the State assessing stand ing timber.
 The following subjects were inveS- tigated by the conference: Value of improvements on city and town lots, unplatted town land, productive pat ented and unpatcntcd mines, value of improvements on latter, non-product- i've patented mines, value of improve mcnts, patented millsites, value of im- provements, Improvements of surface mining claims. improvements of town sites, non-productive unpatente1 mines, value of improvements, su-- face mining claims, industrial lands, on possessory rights, smelters and appurtcnances, concen- trators, mining machinery and sup plies, smelter supplies. sawmillS and and standing timber.

 They are not of the venturesome character in seeking notoriety, but
 are imbued with the idea of going alone, to enjoy what they term will be an outdoor" vacation while school days are at a standStill at home.
 All are of respectable and we'll known families, and while in the city stopped at the Head hotel.
 They recount a somewhat thrilling experience during their four days journey from Phoenix to Prescott, sleeping out in haystack in Skull valley on Saturday night, taking d meal of tortillas and potatoes at an Indian camp of scanty menu to satiate their keen appetites, and a shower bath every day via the cloud burst route. Miss Jennie Lewis said Monday: "The trip has been fiercely expressive of early days when the first Hassayampers came in to Ari- zona, but we are to go on and on, to taste the bitter part The Indians are a fine race, and their hospitality to the extent of their resources is very much appreciated. Of course we could not accept an invitation to sleep in their wicl,iup, as we have along only one change of clothing, and have plenty to do and more to think about than fighting any kind of bugs that might be laying for us.
 We also met many autoists, but gave all the high sign to leave us be- hind. Oh, yes, we each carry an revolver, not that we are on the warpath, but to meet anything that may arise and to protect ou>- selves. We have been treated cour- teously and considerably, and one of the girls has made hit already with a disconsolate bachelor down the road. We have plenty of ammuni ton for our guns and you will be sur prised to know we are not equipped with any powder or dope puffs for facial improvement"
 These beauties of the Gila' went their way yesterday afternoon for Je- rome, thence to Camp Verde, and Flagstaff will be their resting place for the grand trek to the rim of the Grand Canyon at Fl Tovar. San Diego will be the jumping off place. and the cars will then take them back 10 their happy homes.

COPPER STRIKE IN SIGHT OF
 PRESCOTT
ORE BODY ENCOUNTERED IN MAGNOLIA, CLOSE TO PRESCOTT, CAUSES MUCH COMMENT.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Samples of copper gold bearing ore from the Magnolia mines to the east of Prescott less than 21l miles dis tant, were exhibited yesterday by the owner, C. E. Wallace, and from the nearby location of the mine to the city attracted very much interest This is the first discovery made, all though the property had been under development for over three years at intervals, work being resumed only a short time ago. The product shows high grade copper sulphide condi- ton as determined, in which red OK ides appear carrying good values in gold the vein being about IA inches wide.
 The method of operating is a tun- pel, and the hitting of the ore occur red at a depth of about 40 feet, much to the surprise of the owner. The outcrop is being followed, and Wal lace stated yesterday he proposes to explore the condition for several hum dred feet, being elated over the strike made unexpectedly. The movement for that locality assuming so much at tention at the present time is due to the Bullwhacker again being active, and the belt from that point to the south is being located by different miners.
 George Zcttler, an employe of the Bashford-Burmister Co.,, recently To- cated a group of nine claims to the north of and adjoining the Magnolia, and has established camp. Another operator is Mir. Hickey, to the south, who has a group of 20 claims and is The Magnolia and Bull whacker products show a mineral character as identical. From these strikes, it may be possible that Pres colt will be at the side door of new copper bonanza field.
