ESPEE ISSUES
ARIZONA MAP

The Southern Pacific company has
issued in folder form a new and COM
plete map of Arizona and New Mexico
together with a brief description of
their resources, development, topogra-
ply and climate. The map is to be CIV
en- wide distribution, not only among
travellers but throughout the middle
west and the east where it is exected
to accomplish much in advertising both
states.
The map outlines plainly the topo-
graphical features of Arizona and New
Mexico, showing the Southern Pacific
lines, the lines of other railroads and
the various stage routes. Beneath it is
an index of towns with an easily un-
derstood key for finding their location.
On the reverse side it dwells upon the
agricultural conditions, population
area climate, crops, soil, irrigation,
prices of irrigated land, markets, lands,
prices of state lands, features connect
ing with leasing state lands, dairying,
stock raising, mining, education, for
ests, rivers, historic and e-historic
ruins and the principal products of
each state for the year 1915. The
Roosevelt Dam and Apache Trail are
also called to the readers attention.
Arizona and New Mexico" the new
est states; hold out an invitation for
new settlers says the railroad COM
pany in the foreword Situated in the
heart of the great southwest-rich in
minerals, agricultural resources, rich
in forests and far-reaching pasture
lands-these states have made immense
strides in the last two decades Yet
to aid in their remarkable progress
they seek new settlers and new capital,
that their resources may be fully de-
Veloped. 1t is to familiarize the public
with New Mexico and Arizona-with
their tremendous possibilities-that the
present map folder is issued by the
Southern Pacific Company, and it is
hoped that the information given here
will induce homeseekers to visit these
states and make further investigation.

To PRINT SAFETY
NEWS IN SPANISH

Beginning November first, the State
Safety News, published monthly by the
State Bureau of Mines, will also be
published in Spanish. Inasmuch as the
proportion of Spanish laborers in the
mines of Arizona is large, and the
necessity for education along safety
lines is even greater for those en-
oloyees than Americans, it is felt that
considerable benefit would be derived
by constantly putting before them the
slogan Of safety first.
These bulletins will be for free dis
tribution, and anyone interested will
be put on the mailing list Numbers Of
copies will be sent to the mines en-
ploying Mexican labor for distribution
among their employees. Those desiring
to be put on the mailing list to receive
these bulletins as they are issued, ad-
