l022--PROSiEkITY

Just month old. the year 1922 has given evidence
of being banner year IN the industrial development of
Arizona
When the slump which demorazed industry the
world came, inevitable in the wake of the
world war, Arizona was not spared Her leading indus
tries crippled by the lack of markets, but
the situation not such that with little retractOn,
the weathering of the storm could be accomplished.
But we have passed through 1.-THE darkest hour and
there nothing in the future but prosperity for the state
The prosperity that is evident is of the kind de-
sirabe The mining industry again getting under way
and to the consderae mind there is much comfort in the
fact that the resumption of production of metals is
being pursued on boom basis.
The best of prosperity is the prosperity that
steadily is built sOumdly conditions they and
not bostered up inflated imagination OF fitting udg
ment The mining industry of Arizona will be built up
to its former standard it's merits and for this
vatve action the part of those in charge of this great
industry in our state we can not help but feel that after
all, the Devil is only as black as he is painted.
Steady development is the kind that counts. Sound
business Judgment is the only salvation of industry,
and sound business Judgment i'll the pursuit Of mining in
Arizona holds the key to the salvation of one Of our chief
While mining today is regarded as the chief industry
of Arizona it must be remembered that there other
resources that deserving of much and possibly
more consideration
iona. Our greatest resource lies in fertile valleys
and in climate that fits the situation, and in
rivers which carry the missing link. water and
power.
However. there is no occasion for any dispute

ability of the public in general and the managing drec

the idea that their webeng is subject of mutual III

Arizona offers a greater opportunity to the home
seeker than state in the union This is broad state
ment but in what light can it be disproven?
Is the mining industry developed to its fullest de-
gree? Or the agricultural industry! Or the stockras
ing industry!
Is there ANY industry in the of Arizona in
which there is not possibility of perfection and expan
sion?
Therein lie the fundamentals of OPPORTUNITY
Tombstone is classed mining community. Has
the mining field in this district been developed its full

What is the extent of the silver lead, gold and cop

TIMES the volume of handled by the T. c. NJ Co.

With the Harvesting of the rivers of this state for
agricultural and power purposes, the state OF Arizona
will have ample power for every form of industry
Then will BEGIN the real industrial development of
this state
These projects cannot materialize in a day in
but the 1922 will be down in Arizona history
as the BEGINNING of industrial development
Tombstone is situated to benefit from the three
great industries and the period for bringing this real de-
velOpment from the stage of dream to reality is
not necessarily great but that shall share its bene

push endeavOr to stop the criminal waste Of water

1t is not the work of day, the work of great

1922-Prosperity!
