 World Brought Close

from this city direct to the office or F. r. Hutton X Company, and the | posting of hourly quotations on all | stocks and bonds listed on any stock | exchange in the United States. Phoe- nix is placed in Girect connection with the financial world.
 T am thoroughly convinced that < Phoenix presents an opening for ] strictly !egimate brokerage office, con ducted on a commission basis only ! where any one may readily buy or sell for cash those investments which rep resent the life blood of the business world 1n this connection it is my pur- pose to connect other prominent cities of the state with this system, making PhoenlX the investment capital of Ari- zona. This means putting the city on the financial main line of the coun- try, and the complete removal of all isolation and provincialism as regards the world of finance and investment" said Mr Allyn Lewis, of this new eX- change
 How many people of Phoenix know that in one year-1915-the earnings o4 Ciac Al lNOi.tt iilIllC tACtcuGu the en- ! tire value of all land and improve ments in the Salt River valley. figur- ing the land at an average value ot $150 an acre? Mining is the greatest industry of the state, and Arizona the greatest copper producing state in the country. yet Phoenix has been going It's way Screnly unconscious of it all
 The service now at the command of | the investors of Phoenix and the val ley will change all this It will do more. It will not only enable the bus- ! lhesSman to watch the markets of the | country, to study the causes that af- 1 feet the securities of the world. but it will make It possible for the tourist to keep in touch with his investments as easily ds though he were in the heart Of the great financial district Here he can read the great business barometer, highly sensitive to the slightest influence, be it Hessian fly in Kansas wheat. bandit raids along the Mexican border, or war orders from Europe. The man who is in a position to watch the market reports intelliSently is in a position to adapt his business moves to coming condi- tions-always forecasted by the stock market.
 One big result will be that Phoe- nix will now have an opportunity to become interested in some of the le- Sitimate mining enterprises of the state, and bring to this city some of the fortunes that are growing out of such undertakings. It is reliably re- ported that United Verde Extension made seven millions for fortunate own CTS of that stock in Douglas, three million more for Jerome and Bisbee people, and almost as much more for residents of other mining towns as the state. They tEinl; and speak the world language because they are in foucf with the world through it's markets and hy reason of their investments iT it's enterprises. Other properties now developing will one of these days bl making fortunes for residents of Phoe- nix and put the capital of the state or Inc map from a mining standpoint
