APACHE OFFICIALS
 EATHUSE OVER MINE

A large number of the officers and stockholders of the Apache Chief Min ing company paid visit yesterday to the properties of the company, twenty three miles north of Glendale. These men, well known locally, are not easily moved to betray their emotions, but there was no possibility of mstaking the fact that if they ever had any doubts as to the merits of their prop erty, they had not only been removed, but had been replaced by those strong convictions that only actualities can produce. Besides the optimism with which the machines were loaded by brlmful human containers, large Quan- titles of exceedingly fine specimens of copper ore were also secured.
 They were hardly prepared for the lahge amount of development work that Was taking place on all sides. It was plainly evident to them that a great new camp is in the making and that the values which permeate the entire group of the Apache Chief Mining company's claims are hoped for on every boundary.
 prominent official of the company upon returning from this trip said
 There is no question but that Ari- zonans, taken as whole, realize that the copper mining industry means much to the general prosperity of the state. We question, however if the average man has any conception of the seemingly incredible values that are being added thereby Copper mining is less subject to uncertainties than underground operations in any of the other metals of commercial value, and once mine has reached the producing stage. it is the most stable as well as the most profitable of all Industries Both investors and spectators have made more money from producing copper mines than from any other in- dustry. It is hardly necessary to com ment upon the extraordinarily favor able conditions of the market at this time. We can see no reason to believe that history will not repeat itself in the creation of an even greater demand than at present at the close of the European war. All wars have been followed by copper booms and it would seem to be natural sequence that the greatest of all wars should be followed by the greatest of all booms
 Tt is mistaken idea very generally held that the bulk of the present out put in this country Cover two billion pounds annually is used for war pur- poses. The great consumption is, as it has ever been, in our domestic indus tries.
 Tt is not to be wondered that after Sundays trip that those of us who went along are more than ordinarily impressed at the wonderful future thlt We believe to be in store for the Apache Chief. We are striving to view our prospects with that degree of conserv- atism that should go with the launch ing of any business venture, but I must confess that for my own part I find it difficult to keep from soaring. However, we have firmly resolved to confine ourselves to the facts as they develop from time to time and not to permit our imagination to be converted into printed form, as is too often the case"

ALL VARIETIES IF
 COTTON ARE GROWN

All varieties of cotton can be grown under irrigation in the southern val leys of the state, but. on account of the long season and higher prices, the long staple varieties are at an ad- vantage. Varieties of Egyptian cotton have been introduced successfully and found well adapted to the climatic conditions prevailing in the irrigated districts bordering upon the Salt Gila and Colorado rivers. Egyptian cotton requires a growing season of eight to nine months and cannot profitably be grown where late frOsts in spring, or early frosts in the fall cut the season short It has not vet been grown sue cessfully at elevations of over 1500 feet in southern Arizona.
 Egyptian cotton, including the i'm proved Yuma" and Pima" strains should be planted about the first of March. Light frosts occasionally check it at this date, but the damage is usually more than compensated by the longer growing season due to early planting. Harvesting may begin in September, or as soon as sufficient cotton is ripe to make d profitable picking. September and October lint is usually superior to that which ma lures later. Harvesting may extend into December
 Pima cotton is strain of Egyptian that has been developed by the United States department of agriculture at Sacaton, and has remarkably long. fine, strong staple. It is also some what earlier than other strains, and coFequently more productive In the Yuma valley a variety of cot ] ton known as Durango is considerably grown at this time. This is q long staple, upland cotton, inferior to Egyptian, and commanding q much tower price. The Durango has a short CT growing period and can be planted as late as April.
 Short staple upland cottons are not grown extensively in the state. Tseir production is limited less by clima tic conditions than by commercial factors which make the growing of long staple ] cottons more profitable.

MIDNIGHT DINNER

Several families from "Old England" met on the last night at the home of Mir and Mrs. E. Myers and watched the old year out and the new year in. In accordance with a pretty English custom, shortly before the stroke of twelve, the men retired from the room and as the clock struck they entered, greeting the ladies, thus representing the entrance of the new year. All then were seated to a midnight dinner in which the dishes of Merrie England predominated. Following the dinner dancing was indulged in for a short while. Those present were Mir and Mrs William Trow, MT. and Mrs. John Cunmard, MT. and Mrs. A. c. Winters. Mir. and Mrs. Edwin Mcdonald MT. and Mrs. Arnold Hawkins and MT. and Mrs Myers.
