ARIZONA FOR THE SPORTSMAN. 
Heretofore most people in their busy lives have thought 
of Arizona and New ^lexico only as the great storehouse where 
dame Nature in coquettish mood hid her treasures in the for- 
midable mountain ranges. It is true that Humboldt said of this 
region that it was the richest in minerals of any section of the 
globe ; but while its mountains are filled with veins of gold, 
silver, iron and coal, its valleys are as inviting to the agricult- 
urist as any part of the United States, while its climate is in 
many respects perfect. To the sportsman it is a most enchant- 
ing region. Many of the mountain valleys are of exceptional 
beauty ; their broad streams are filled with trout ; deer graze in 
their quiet glades and game birds are numerous ; on their 
mountain sides one may chase bear, or be chased by bruin to 
his heart’s content. Society in all of this region is as well organ- 
ized as anywhere else. The tourist via the Sunset Route of the 
Southern Pacific reaches this region more readily than in any 
other way, and the traveler is attracted by the many conven- 
iences of this model service, sumptuous trains and fast time.
