A typical herd is pictured. Roundup time is the Arizona cowboy's busiest period.

He spends grueling hours in the saddle, keeping on the move from the earliest hours of the morning sometimes until long after dark. Coats of arms of rangeland royalty are the state's scores of brands. Work at roundup time is hard. It entails skill and specialized knowledge and is no work for the novice. But it is mighty fascinating to watch, as many Easterners who visit Arizona ranches at roundup time have discovered for themselves.

William Andrews Clark of Montana, who designed it in 1914 for employes of the United Verde Copper Company, which he developed in Jerome. Designed as a "model town," it was built by the Upper Verde Utilities Company, copper company subsidiary.

More than 500 homes were constructed for employes of the smelter. In 1312, ground was broken for the United Verde smelter. In 1915, the first furnace was blown in and today the plant is designed to handle a capacity of 4.500,000 pounds of copper per month, although it is now handling only 2,000,000 tons annually. Proud Of Club A plaza, with many shade trees, shrubs and other greenery, forms the center of the "model town." And the whole community is proud of its Clark Memorial Club house, which has an auditorium capable of seating 600, with stage and dressing rooms. The town also supports a country club on Peck's lake.

A Civilian Conservation Corps program has developed the Tucson Mountain Jtecreational area of 30,000 acres into a popular park where abundant wild life may not be shot but photographed. The improvement of Sabino canyon, where last year 67,000 registered to enjoy this beautious canyon and picnic grounds, has added greatly to the public facilities of this area. The third greatest visited national monument in Arizona this past fiscal year was Saguaro National monument. This giant cactus forest proves awe inspiring even to Ari-zonians.

Another national wonder of the Tucson section is Colossal cave, and this too attracts many tourists. Featured By La Fiesta The winter season is featured by la Fiesta de los Vaqueros, annual rodeo, which will be held February 19, 20. 21 and 22.

The mining and agricultural progress and prosperity of have added great stimulus to the commercial life of Tucson and are very large contributors to the increasing totals of the bank clearings that are approaching the record figures of 1929. Artesian Wells Feature Bowie An abundance of artesian wells in historic Pan Simon valley has been chiefly responsible for the remarkable growth of Bowie, situated on the Southern Tacific railroad 25 miles northwest of Willcox. The well are numerous and water is so close to the surface in most parts of the valley that irrigation of fertile farming lands is a simple matter, making agriculture the principal industry. Bowie has prospered by being the main shipping point and business center for valley farmers.

A modern little town, Bowie has electrical and telephone facilities, a hospital, theater, a Methodist Episcopal church, a Masonic lodge and chamber of commerce. It also is headquarters for mining activity. be ahead of the demand of 60,000 residents and 5,000 winter guests who wish to spend November, December, January and February In the land where winter Is summer.

These have greatly added to the popularity of Arizona as a premier winter playground and in the Tucson district alone have developed a to $4,000,000 industry placing many a cattle ranch on the black side of the ledger.

Second to the guest ranches are the private schools located in the foothills surrounding Tucson.

O. B. Willcox, who at the time of its founding was commanding officer at Fort Grant, an army outpost. The valley has excellent irrigation prospects, with 20,000 acres north of the city suited for canals, and ample water at a depth of from 30 to 50 feet. As an outgrowth of the large cattle industry, many ranches, both large and small, are located about the city.

It is estimated that more than 1.000,000 head of cattle have been shipped from Willcox in the past 35 years, as well as many thousands of sheep. Poultry raising is also undertaken on many ranches of the valley and mining is another important history was the pushing through of the Southern Tacific railroad in 1R78, presaging the modern highway that places Yuma on a main transcontinental route.

Recorder Thnenii Chapter Verde Project Awaits Water Just north of the Salt River project, which is regarded as tha nation's model reclamation development, lies the Verde River Irrigation and Power District. Lands of the project are in Paradise and Deer valleys. Now unreclaimed desert, this section, also known as the Paradise-Verde district, only waits the magic touch of water to cause it to blossom richly with many products, officials of the district point out.

The soil is fertile and la said to be particularly ideal in some sections for citrus groves. Lands of the district have been given exhaustive tests. Plans for dams, canals and other project works long have been drawn. As a project desirable from t'ne standpoints of feasibility, ability to create taxable wealth and employ many men in construction, the Verde project is ideal, officials declare.
