ELEMENTS OF PROSPERITY.

which is vitally interested in the progress of all. They are Agricul- ture, Mining and Grazing. These interests are so intimately blend. ed that whatever affects the one affects the others alike. It is safe to say that few, if any countries, rich in the precious metals, pos sess the facilities for farming and stock-raising that Arizona possess es. As a rule, in most countries the land in the vicinity of mines is poor and unfit for cultivation, But this is not the case in Arizo- na. AS rule, in most mining countries. the grass does not grow to any extent in the vicinity of the mines, and stock used ill the mines has to be driven sometimes 8 great distance to obtain grass, or feed hauled to them. It is diff ferent in Arizona. Here the rich est and most nutritious grasses grow right upon and among the mines and in the 'Slountait gor- ges and foothills, so that the mi her or prospector can have his horse under his own eye while he is at work. In the low lands the rich alluvial soil offers the farmer Ca rich reward for his labor, while the plains hold out to the stock raiser and grazer the greatest in- ducements to settlement ever presented.
 These are the natural elements of prosperity, which must, if wise ly improved by an intelligent and energetic population, make Ari- zona one of the greatest and wealthiest of States. But when we add to all this, manufactures, which will surely come as the Territory advances in population and development, then indeed will Arizona become self. sustain ing. Yes, more than self sustain ing, for she will be exporting un- told millions of the precious me- tals.
 One of the most pleasant aspects of the case is, that in the near fu- lure we will have a nome market for all the productions of the far. mer and Stock-raiser. In a very few years the population of the mines will be large enough to consume all the bread stuffs and meats that can be raised in the Territory. In most of the States particularly the Western States after the few first years of set clement, the great trouble was to find market for their products. We have seen corn sold in Iowa for six cents bushel, and the best of cOrn-fed pork for fifty cents per one hundred pounds. Such a state of things can never exist in Arizona. The influx of miners, now large and rapidly increasing, will soon amount to hundreds of thousands, and there is room for millions. Let them come. There is nothing now that hardy ener- getic men need fear. Our Indian troubles are over, and peace reigns throughout the Territory. While the Indian War lasted, we never advised any one to come to Arizo, ma, but now we feel free to say that here is an opening for indus, triOus, energitic men, such as can- not be found elsewhere on the globe.
 With the finest climate or rath CT cJinedtes in the world, (for we have remarked, g man can find any climate he wants in AriZona), with all these elements of pros perity, fresh from 'fhe hand of Nature, ready to be utilized by intelligent labor, let the,H come. And they are coming from every direction-the miner from the mountains and the farmer and stock raiser from the valleys. There can be no back-set now. rrN,,1 ,,,otoI, 1,,ord ic EGEv(tLI STnD f;1
