DOUGLAS, Oct. 21.- As an evidence of the rapid strides made by Cochise county in the agricultural and cattle lines of industry, the records of patents granted to land owners, are a glowing argument. Since the 8th day of August and up to and including the 15th day of October, 66 patents have been filed with the recorder.
The scramble for land in this county the past few months has been furious. The farmer and stockman has devoted a greater part of his time to obtaining title to suitable land, and at the present rate, all land that will answer either purpose will be taken up in the very near future.
Most of the land has been fenced, some obtained by residence as homestead, and a great acreage leased from the government under the 20-year payment plan.
Many oil claim locations have also been filed recently, the last rush being for ground north of Douglas, in the vicinity of Mud Springs, and in the foothills of the Swisshelm mountains.
The day for filing land in Cochise county is fast passing into history, which speaks volumes for the progress of farming and stockraising in the banner county.
