From the Maricopa field the eight-Inch continuous stream of black petroleum will take the most direct routo Into Arizona, Ari-zona, and that will be by paralleling the Santa Imj and Southern Paciilc ruilroads wherever practicable. This will also, be a matter of economy, as the railroads will dollver tho tons and tons of plpo and the enormous boners tor pumpitvr stations right on the ground of the line. Eouto of Pipe Line.

Along the lino arc enormous mining districts which produce the raw material for the smelting plants. l?ndor present conditions condi-tions these great Industries of the southwest, south-west, dependent as they mo upon the railroads for the delivery of their fuel, are often seriously embarrassed because of tho delay In transportation, and some very sevcro losses have boon known to occur because of failure to receive fuel. The pipe line will Insure regularity of fuel supply. Tho cost of delivery of oil to Arizona points will bo cheaper. Cheaper Cheap-er fuel has for Its first result Increased activity. Cheapening tho cost of prnduc-tlon prnduc-tlon In an encouragement to tho development devel-opment of now territory. And Arizona, thus equipped, and putting on tho robe of statehood, expects to make rapid strides In assuming Its position ns an equal state in tho Union. A largo part, of the territory Is devoted de-voted to mining and smelting. Now copper cop-per country Is being developed In different dif-ferent sections of tho territory.

These are only a few of the many scenes of Industry that will bo benellted by the now pipe line, which meuns much to tho industrial development develop-ment of the great southwest. |
