their gain to be in the main due
directly to the prosperity in the min
ing industry, give to Arizona far
greater abundance of ready money
than it has ever before had the ad-
vantage Of.
Continuing it's resume the Arizona
chapter says that reflection Of the
greater amount of available money
is found in every part of the state
in the conduct of a great deal Of
new building in all of the cities
and particularly in the mining
towns in much widened activity in
the improvement of and the redemp-
tion of lands in every possible agri-
cultural locality of the state, in the
making of many municipal improve
ments and in the continued grow tn
in energy and wide application to
research on the part of mining op-
orators and prospectors to the end
of extending the mineral resources
of the state.
Railroad extension is also a
feature, and the great benefits which
will attend in the opening up of
much new and rich agricultural
country must be credited directly to
the mining industry, which made
possible in the last year the con-
struction Of the Tucson, Cornelia e
Gila Bend from Gila to Ajo, and the
extension Of which to Tucson will
open up a wonderfully fertile. coun-
try to farmers and cattle growers.
Building OF the railroad down the
Verde valley and on the mesa from
Clarkdale, which is now assured,
will open up another big scope of
some new mineralized areas. This
road is the direct outgrowth of the
opening Of the United Verde Exten-
sion mine, the freights paid by which
last year the Santa Fe amounted to
$900,000. The Parker cutoff Of the
Santa Fe is likewise attributable to
mining development in Arizona in
the last three years.
Thus is comprised all of the rail-
road construction carried out in the
state or planned since the completion
of the E. p & S. w. to Tucson sew
eral years ago, and which was also
direct Outgrowth of mining de-
velOpment. AS a cap sheaf, there
is added the millions of dollars
which have been expended and are
now being expended in the construc-
tion in the last year of new surface
plants by mines and smelters of the
state and which have made employ
ment for thousands of skilled me-
chanics and laborers.

ASSESSOR MING
SAYSNORTHEN
PROSPEROUS
yuma Sum-

A. B. Ming, county assessor, and
his field deputy, H. F. COIman, re-
turned recently from the northern
part of Yuma county bubbling over
with enthusiasm relative to the great
industrial prosperity they found on
a trip of 700 miles while they were
in the field two weeks. The trip in
cluded every nook and corner of the
northern part of the county where
property that is assessible is located
1t took them over ranches, through
mines, into stores, and every other
conceivable place where the hand of
man is engaged in the industrial
pursuits.
Mr. Ming said that in all the
years he has resided in Yuma
county he never saw anything like
the prosperity that is evident at
every turn. In the mining indus
try, he said, scarcely a property small
on great was seen where men were
not working. There are $50 men at
work in the Swansea mine, and in
other large properties the force en-
ployed is, in most cases, all thai can
be handled with the facilities at
hand.
The stockmen and ranchers are also
running at full capacity and a larger
acreage than ever before is being
planted to crops, while the ranges
are teeming with horses and cattle
Mr.. Ming did not view conditions
casually, but as one who wanted to
know and must know If there is a
person on earth from whom people
would be likely to keep covered as
much as possible their working and
producing property it is the assessor,
urally might lack some measure OF
being complete. 1t is different now
however. One of the reasons which
led him to believe there never was
such unbounded prosperity lies in
the very fact,as he says that those
with whom he came into official con-
tact,were not secretive but talked as
though they wanted him to know all
about their business and thrift. This
means that when he says there is
greater prosperity than ever before
in Yuma county it is statement
with more than emphasis.
The county assessor is pretty well
along with this years assessmen:

the month just past he travelled a

City Drug Store has Just Installed
Vortex Individual Sanitary Service.
At a considerable expense the
City Drug Store has installed the
Vortex Individual Sanitary Service,
and customers can now feel assured
when patronizing this popular foun-
tain that every precaution has been
taken in safeguarding their health.
The Vortex system consists of
metal holders with paper inserts,
the latter being made of pure white
paper and paraffine-no glue being
used, therefore they are sanitary,
tasteless and odorless
Stringent laws have been passed
in a number of the states compelling
soda fountain dispensers to sterilize
their glasses or use paper cups, but
G. A. Marsh, proprietor of the City
Drug Store, did not wait the passage
of such laws in this state. Believing
that his patrons were entitled to the
best and safest service possible he
put in complete equipment for the
benefit of his customers.
The old method of washing every
body's glass in the same water has
been done away with at the City
Drug Store, and the dangers of con-
tagion and uncleanliness lurking in
this method is now a thing of the
past.
