of new colonization scheme, with

point. At the same time we are in re-

BosToN, Mass, May 4, 1876
/ EDITOR CITIZEN: | send you by to
days mail copy of the Boston Her
aid of April 80, containing an article
on ArizonarI irdE you will find it in
all respects truthful and just and that
it will meet your approval 1t was
written with a view to benefit Arizona,
where l intend to make my future
home, and to endeavor to induce some
of the thousands who are leaving the
overcrowded cities ana districts of the
east to cmigrate to your favored Terri
tory. The party spoken of is one am
at present getting up for emigration to
Arizona and is now well under way
and viii soon leave Boston to join you.
As | will take none but industrious,
moral and sober men, | believe they
will prove benefit and acquisition to
the Territory. / paint no fancy pic
lures and describe no San Francisco
mountain lava bed elysiums to in
duce men to become Arizona citizens,
but give as truthtully as l can the
actual state of affairs and, better still,
lay before them the files Of your in
valuable journal, which, through 4
the kindness of Hon. II. S. Stevens, | d
am enabled to do,-so that they may
judge Of themselves and know just
what to expect From all sources
comes the erdict that there is not a
more readable, entertaining and in
structive journal published west Of the t
than the ARIZONA CITIZEN.

to the conclusion that he is fraud of |
the first wafer. Eden WAS never pic :

San Francisco mountain lava beds are
by him The moths he has already c
captured number ninety-eIght and they Il
have humbly allowed him to walk over
them to the tune of $40 per man, and
for this they only receive the carriage
IF themselves and baggage to La Jun
IA, about So 81 railroad rates. and

Colorado or to the San Francisco noun Fl
