san Francisco Capitalists.

4 The Press proposes TO call special at
f tention of eastern capitalists to the OPP
G portunities for them in California, and
5 1t is well known there is now more
r money lying in the banks of the great
= American and European cities, for
2 which there is no demand, than at any
! period within a generation; and that
/ while eastern capitalists would be glad
to lend their money at four to SIX per
cent. per annum, those of California
demand from twelve to thlrty-the for
mer being the ruling rate. Among
many pungent remarks by The Press,
none are more so than this:
1t seems somewhat strange, but is
none the less true, that money can be
more easily procured on stocks that
may be worth hundreds or nothing in
a weeks time, than it can be on farm
with permanent value.
THE hopeful Sentinel at Yuma,
Saturday, July %, thus wound up an
article on the times"
You seldom hear the active energetic
man complaining of hard times. HeI
has not time for growing. He is go
ing ahead and preparing to make good
times, by doing something to uncover
the hidden wealth of the Territory. |
We think that considering all things
and comparing our condition with that
of others, and particularly older parts |
of the country, the times in Arizona
are not very hard. Our population is
steadily increasing, our mines are

cred and developed, our agricultural |
products are good and command a good |
price, while our flocks and herds are
fOurishing and multiplying in the
land. Add TO all this the assurance
that we will have railroad in "a few
months, and we think it is safe to say
that the times, present and prospective,
are not very bad in Arizona.
CITY papers are easily misled on
many matters pertaining TO the cOun-
try. The San Francisco Post and 9th
er papers of late dates have been de
scnbing some Indians in their city as
Arizona Indian chiefs. They are said
to be KickapOos and perhaps never set
foot in Arizona. But the curious San
Francisco people had fine time with
them; Mayor Bryant received them
and they smoked his 2-bit cigars. The
Post winds up 4 notice Of them this
way: The Palace Hotel they consider
ed too odd muchee big wigwam "
for the chief. The visit of the Indians
is purely one of sightseeing They
return to Arizona by way Of the Colo
RADIO on Saturday neXt-1jth.
