came in from San Francisco Mountain
on Monday, had their pictures taken
in a group, and have scattered, some
going to California, thence back "a
/ Boston, some TO the mines, and some
have found employment here Miner,
June 8.
If that portion of the cOlonists above
referred to who have remained IN Ari
iona, have been disappointed in any OF
their expectations IN this Territory, we
regret it. but if they settle down into
hard working men and are willing to
suffer temporary hardships, and have
average ability, we believe they will do
better here than they ever could in the
East As for those who have hurried
away to return to "Bosting." they have
done the best thing they could posi-
bly, do. They are out of place here.
They will never be other than what
they have always been-failures and
food for sharps, and finally sharps
themselves. They are not to be pitied
in the least Too lndolent and dull
and timorous to mark out their own
path in life, they pay an exorbitant
price to some one to draw a picture for
them and then start out hand in hand
with lot of equally helpless associates
to find the realization of an effort of a
|" Cozzening" Imagination The fact
that they are so lacking in manhood
as to return to Boston and parade their
undoing, is proof positive that that is
just the best thing they could do for
themselves and Us. That kind of men
are not wanted here at any price. They
are wanted in Bosting" They are
needed there in Young Mems Christian
Associations, to sacrifice every thing
for Christ and skin some helpless com
panion or mislead some erring girl
they are needed there in banks and
counting houses and behind counters,
to work for starvation wages and alb
scond with their employers funds and
property; they are needed in the
churches and sabbath schools there, to
tell of the sinfulness of the frontiers
and to collect funds to send the gospel
here, and incidentally to fill their own
shad bellies; they are needed there to-
lead a monotonous, humdrum, aimless
liie,to make up the gangs Ofcity depend
ents, escaping, perhaps, hunger, but
never getting sufficiently independent
to be their own men the eastern
cities are full of good, brave, strong
men, but they are not Of the class that
Cozzens gulled and who have gone
back to own their shame.
There is room here now, and better
room than in California, for good, able
men. There is room and profitable
room in the valleys, on the roads, on
the lodges and in the towns. Work is
needed everywhere, and conscientious
work will receive better and quicker
appreciation and pay, in Arizona, than
in any other place we ever saw. We
are not speaking unadvisedly or igno-
rantly. We know whereof we speak.
And we say in all honesty and SINGER
ity that if there are any young men in
the States who are tired of living from
hand to mouth, and who desire a new
deal, who wish to engage in desper-
ate collarless and coatless struggle for
an early independence, come to Ari-
IONA. Don't load on too many things :;
don't bring dogs to hunt with" as
was the case with some Of the gentle
men just returning to Boston. If you
find that ductile quadruped absolutely
necessary after you get here, you can
purchase one or more in Tucson, from
the high priced Sooner dog down toI
the given away with a chrome dog.
The market is little tight sometimes,
in the packing season, but
we rarely saw the time when cash.
would not find some kind of a dog
here. If you haven't much money,
start any way, and after riding as farl
as your money will carry you, walk
and work the rest of the way Come
in here and don't bother any one for
advice, but hunt work Work for any
thing; be very thankful if you can
work for your board, and if you cam
get up such feeling and work hard
for your board, you are the right kind
and will beat lots of men, in success,
who come here with some capital
There are failures here, and failures
among the best and hardest working
men to achieve success. Such is the
case elsewhere also. But our experience
and observation has told us that Arizo-
ma is a splendid place to put in hard,
honest work, with a sure prospect of
reaping abundantly if you faint not
