ANOTHER OPINION or ARIZONA.
An Alta Correspondent at Florence

The Daily Alta of the 17th, devotes a column and half of closely printed matter to the history, mineral wealth and other prospects of our Territory. The letter is dated Florence, November 10, and is full of useful information and matters of great interest. As matter of local pride we give the following ex- tract, which refers 10 our own town:
 Entering the Territory at Yuma, l took passage on a daily line of stages, which extends through to Texas. Pass ing up the Gila river two hundred and twenty-five miles to Florence, the course being a little south of east. I found the staging very comfortable. The drivers being intelligent and obliging, contrib uted largely to the interest of the trip. They were ready 10 stop at interesting points, for the purpose of gratifying my interest in the features of the country. We found Florence a neat and beauti- ful little town, containing about five hundred inhabitants It is located on the second bottom or bench of the Gi- la. It is laid out with streets at right angles, with fresh water running along the edges of the sidewalks, furnished by Gila river ditch.
 The town contains one large whole sale and retail store, in which are held for the uses of the miner and the agri- culturlst, a large amount and variety of goods. The town contains two or three hotels, saloons uncounted, livery sta bles, etc. The people are enterprislng, obliging, generally interested in min ing enterprises, as well as agricultural business. The buildings are all of ado be. It is in fine agricultural section, and being within convenient distance to the mines, the location may be con- sidered fortunate. No finer land eX. ists, probably, anywhere, than can be found along the Gila. Vegetables of the finest quality are produced in abun. dance Several flOuring-mills have been constructed, and the wheat produced is of most excellent quality. Perhaps no people produce as fine wheat as do the Pima Indians inhabiting the Terri. tory along and near the Gila river. And It may be here stated that the only az riCultural lands I saw in this section of the Territory were along the margin of that river.
 We can heartily eudoise all the Al ta's correspondent says, and his state ment that the town contains one large wholesale and retail store " is correct But the writer does us an injustice in conveying the impression that we have only one " store The truth is we have several firms, all with neat stores, choice stocks of goods and commanding con- siderable capital.
 Florence is all right; more people think so than simply those who live here, and she is rapidly moving into the position and prominence which she is richly deserving.

Some Exchanges

THE ARIZONA CITIZEN, for a long time published in Tucson, has been sold to an association of gentlemen in Florence, Arizona, and shipped to that fiourishing town, at which point it will be published from this time forward. It is understood that NIT. J. P. Cum, late Indian agent at San Carlos, will as sume editorial management of THE CITIZEN, under its new auspices, and we doubt not that he will maintain the well established reputation of the pa per for ability Tn its editorial manage ment and honesty of purpose in it's crit icisms. We regret to lose John Was son as an editor. A man of his ster- ling qualities can lily be spared from the newspaper corps of this frontier.- Grant County Herald.

the west to the seaboard last year was trans
ported on rail lines, and that over 90 per
cent of the entire commerce of the country
