SOME PROBABILITIES.


 and prognOsticating as to what
 the near future has in store for
 the people of Arizona, and he finds that the signs are full of
 hope. A better feeling and a
 firmer faitb that a period of great
 prosperity is about to dawn upon
 our Territory, are seen and felt
 on every hand. And this feeling
 is not the result of mere blind
 guess work, but is founded upon
 solid, tangible evidence. A great
 change has taken place since men
 have quit in great measure
 growing, fretting and fiming,
 and wishing to leave the country
 and have gone earnestly to work
 to develope it's boundless resOurc-
 es. Many men. who would have
 left the Territory years ago ifthey
 could, now don't desire to leave,
 but are content to remain, for they
 see that the probabilities are that
 Arizona will advance with rapid
 strides, and will soon be a rich
 and prosperous State.
 Arizona is advancing in every.
 thing that pertains 10 material
 growth. New mines of untold
 wealth are being discovered al-
 most daily. Many mines are be-
 ing worked and are yielding up their treasures in most unpreced- ented quantities, and the proba- biIities are that the yield of the mines of the Territory this year will be at least five times greater than in any previous year. The agricultural interests are progress ing at an equal rate, and our far mers are able to supply all that the miners can consume of those productions that grow from the earth. Flocks and herds are continually coming in, brought by their owners with their fam lilies and their household gods, who intend to make their home here, on the last and richest jump ing-off place of Uncle Sam's do- minions. Let them come and the probabilities are that as develop ment progresses, they will uItim- ateIy find that "their lines have been cast in pleasa mt places," and that Arizona. though tGSt is not least of the Territories of the Unit ed States.
 Kerens & Mitcheli,t the enter prising and publiG spirited pro. prietors of the>Southern Pacific Mail Line, from San Diego to Mesilla, have shown their liber- atity by f great reduction of fares for passengers, and also by re- ducton of more than fifty per esnt. for express matter. The | probabilities are that this will cause | more travel and a still greater in- Aux of population. The prObabi- 1 lities are that the railroad is com ing and will soon be here, despite all the growler5 and croakers. | Everything is working right, and l in taking a general outlook of | the prospects of Arizona, the l probabilities are good. encourag- ing and hopeful.
 Here, in Yuma, we have some | local probabilities, some mournful and some hopeful. It is probable that if some men don't drink less whisky, they will go to kingdom come before the Summer is out. It is probable that the Peniten- tiary will be so far advanced as to receive some prisoners, but rot half as many as ought to be within its walls. It is probable that some loving hearts will be joined in the holy bonds of ma- trimony, 1.-two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that peat as one." May they be hap Dv.
