filled pages in their reports and
articles with accounts of "roman-
tic and striking" landscapes in
Santa Cruz county. The tourists
who now come into the same re-
gion over smooth highways re-
ceive the same impression.
American Consuls and army Of
ficers, assigned to all parts of the
world, frequently state, after
spending "a year or so at Nogales,
that, there are few places in the
world where better all-the-year-
around climate can be found than
in Santa Cruz county. Major Gen
eral Plummer, U. S. A. coined q
phrase regarding Nogales that we
like to repeat. "Nogales people
do not have to use up their en-
ergy fighting climate" He might
have added that they do not have
to empty their pocketbooks each
year hunting a climate where they
can be comfortable. We do not
have to limit our invitation to visit
Morales or an invitation to hold a
convention here to any particular
season. Drop in any time and you
will be comfortable.
Nogales is known throughout the
southwest as the "the friendly city
on the border" We advertise
you'll Like Nogales." It's our
slogan because it is the common
expression heard daily. Why will
you like Nogales? Maybe it is be
cause of the friendly spirit found
here. Maybe because of its pro-
gressiveness. It has none of the
sleepy village" or provincial as
pect. And then again, it may be
because it is always so comfort
able here. We are so comfortable
that "grouches" are not found at
all. Such an environment breeds
"good sports" and Nogales has a
statewide reputation along that
line. Maybe its the environment,
who knows, that caused Nogales to
take such a leading part in bring
inc about the present cordial re-
lations between Mexico and the
United States.
Long before the United States
came into existence, mining oper-
ations were being carried on in San
ta Cruz county. Some Of the ear
liest mining in Arizona by Ameri-
cans was in Santa Cruz county.
At Tubac, 20 miles north Of No
gales, the first newspaper in Ari-
zona was published. At Tubac was
organized the expedition that
founded the City Of San Francisco.
Tubac too was the headquarters
for the earliest mining operations
undertaken in what is now Ari-
zona. Seventeen miles north OF
Nogales and just few miles from
Tubac is the famous old Tumaca-
cori Mission, which is visited by
over five thousand persons resid
ing outside Of Arizona each year
The history Of this region is full Of
romance and stirring events.
- Santa Cruz County has in the re-
gion around Patagonia and along
the Sonoita Greek, west of No
! gales in Bear Valley Canyon, in
Josephine Canyon and White
House Canyon in the Santa Ritas,
delightful camping resorts. No
more beautiful spots in Arizona,
outside Of the White Mountains,
can be found than White House
Canyon, nine miles over fine
road off the Tucson-Nogales high
way, turning off the highway at
Continental % miles south of Tue
son and Al miles north of Nogales.
Already there are over forty sum
mer homes erected at this resort.
The best time to camp at this re-
sort is after July 10th. Patagonia
and it's neighborhood has a Won
derful summer climate with scenic
surroundings and fine swimming
at Monkey Springs. Spending a
portion of the summer at these
places will be found enjoyable,
especially with the prospect Of be-
ing within easv distance over fine
