There are hundreds of thousands
of cattle, sheep, and goats an
nually roaming the adjacent
gulches, hills, and bottom lands
along tributaries of the Hassay-
ampa river, which in winter be-
comes the habitat of plucky cow
boys and stockmen. In spring
their herds are driven north and
the marketable kline are shipped
to eastern markets, the rest COM
ing back to breed and winter.
During their stay in winter the
range men put up some real fas-
cinating exhibitions of range
sports at Wlckenburg, which at
tracts sight seers and cattlemen
from all over the Southwest.
These exhibitions of the Wild
and Woolly West are pulled off
on March 18th of each year just
previous to the roundup and
drive north.

IDEAL SPOT For SANITARIUM.

oyerfowed with health seekers
who make their annual health
pilgrimages here, and for whom
provision should be made by the
erection of a huge sanitarium.
A branch of Prescott government
hospital might be established

transferred in winter and vice
versa in summer. No place in
in the u. S. offers greater ad-
vantages for recuperative health

ABOUT WICKENBURG
Old Town Has Many Adyan-
tages and Resources.

Lying among the foothills at
the base of the range which rises
gradually until it forms what is
known as the Bradshaw noun
tains, Wickenburg stands at the
head of, and is, the natural gate
way from the north into the great
Salt River valley, sloping west
and south towards Phoenix, Ar
izona's greatest metropolis. 1t
sits picturesquely along the far
famed Hassayampa river, in rest
full harmony and elegance, among
verdant groves of poplar, willow,
giant mesquite and an orderly
addition of evergreen peppers
and eucalyptus trees. It's gentle
sloping terraced hills on both
sides of the river give impress
sions of a delightful home town
of charm and lovely rural sur
roundings. Such it is. A type
of run down mining supply town
just coming to life again. and
emerging under impetus Of nat
urai environments that have
never been cultivated in trying
to bring back it's activity of for
mer age.
Briefly reflected among its
prominent features, are the fol-
lowing:
LOGICAL SITE FOR A SANITARIUM
Famous for mild, sunny win
ters and where nature helps in
dnstry and invites health. Oc-
casional night frosts. but flowers
bloom all the year and bees are
gathering honey in February.
Heavy rains of this fall have
provided abundant feed on the
ranges in all directions, with a
snowfall IN the mountains to the
north that insures plenty of
water for stock until far into the
summer of 1924.
Perhaps 10000 head of cattle
are wintering on the desert ranges
adjacent to and tributary to
Wickenburg. To this may also
be added $4,000, to $4,000 head
of sheep and goats which an
nually make this region their
winter range and breeding habi-
tat.
SPLENDID WATER AND CLIMATE
Unlimited purest percolated
water from the Hassayampa
river and tributary mountain
streams forms the towns water
supply. The water is pumped
from wells sunk along the banks
of the Hassayampa, so located
that surface overfiows may not
impair it's percolated purity.

shipping place for livestock.
wool, ore, and mineral concen-
trates from the adjacent mines
and ranges, and is destined to
become a great railroad center
when keen sighted transportation
companies realize its proximity
and accessibility to tidewater at
Rocky Point on the Gulf of Cali
fornia. 1t is only 81 miles from
Wickenburg south, over a level
desert. with no streams to cross
to the junction of the S. P. rail-
road with the branch road to
Ajo, whence it is only 80 miles
to the Gulf and 100 miles nearer
than Los Angeles harbor.
When the immense irrigation
systems projected from the Col
orado river provide water for the
millions of acres now being
homesteaded to the south and
west, Wickenburg will be trans
formed into a metropolitan dis
tributing railroad center with an
outlet at the gulf for Southern
Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico
that will help industry of every
description in Western Arizona.
