THE COMING TIDE.

THERE is tide oftimes in the af
fairs of men and communities, which
if taken advantage of, leads on tC
fortune and great advantages. Men
as well as communities are oftimes
unaccountably short-sighted and fool
ishly permit golden opportunities &c
pass by unheeded. 1t is Il somewha at
coarse, but very pertinent expression
this, that IF our foresight was as
good as our hind-siglt we would all
of Ms do great deal better" Now,
as inividuals, and as community,
suppose we take short RETROSPECT
tive view of our immediate past, and
then IN easurc the possibilities of the
immediate future by the same Each
individual in this community who,
in the past has been Industrious, eco
nomical and active in their business
professions and trades, have been en-
abled by the opportunities coming in
their way, to make Announcements in
wealth and knowledge The pros
perity and success of individual enter
prises in our community has been to
a great extent the measure of tire
public growth and prosperity. In
the broad and general sense, no town
or community has been more greatly
blessed with 4 growth substantial,
and spirit of prosperity more pleas
ing, than the town and vicinity of
Phoenix. Now let us forecast, to some
extent, the future. We have in sew
eral instances made prophetic asser-
tions. in these columns, with refer
ence to future growth, development,
&c, and we believe that THIS far we
have guessed very near the truth.
We think again, now, that our pro
phetic eye can see a coming tide for
our Territory that will turn the minds
of our business men into a happier
channel.
The clouds of commercial doubt
and distress which has so long been
hanging over the eastern portion Of
our country, and which has com
PEELED men, through fear and distrust
TO put away their accumulated treas
ure, is now beginning to lift itself and
give way to the spring sunlight of Il
better prosperity; and men, who have
been hording their millions and hid
ing then in the darkened treasury
vaults of the east, are beginning to
cast about them for a general and
safe speculative investment In the
near future, millions OF the surplus
capital of the cast will be invested in
the development of the great mineral
fields of the Pacific Coast. The young
State OF Colorado is just beginning TO
feel the glorious results of the first
waters of the incoming tide. She
will be swept over by this relentless
tide, and Utah and Arizona will re
ceive the portions Colorado is unable
to hold. We believe most earnestly
that this golden tide is coming and
think we can say to the self-sacrifis
Ing and industrious prospector and
miner. lie diligent, be patient, and
hold fast to any mine or claim you
possess, and be ready TO offer it to the
coming capitalist. To the merchant,
rancher and tradesman, we say, 90 on
in the direction of building up your
respective business, making broader
the base for your operation, md pre-
pare yourselves TO gather your share
of the sun-drops of golden treasure
sure to come. To the honest laborer
let us say, this infusion of coming
capital will bring with it a CORES
ponding demand for your services.
A bountiful supply of money always
gives full employment TO muscle
This We consider a hopeful on tlook,
but the unmistakeable signs of the
times" point to these happy results;
wait and see.
