 Fn,r,p CITIZEN: When we Me" ,he nasr eud compare the Arizona of te-day with the Arizona of ten years s,o ,be change that has been wrought bv inc industrious and en;erprising nioneers of this once wild and undo yeloped region is simply wonderful and no enc can imagine or reailze the grand strides that have been made .owards development and civilization within the short period of ten years !. except those who were here in le'C and are fortunate enough to be here HOW. We find Arizona ten yeaIs ago only spsrsely settled by few brave and noble hearted pioneers, struggling for existence against the savage Aordes of Anacbes and Mexican thieves and murderers, who infested every high way, and indeed the lonely mounds Of earth or rock that mark the last rest ing place of many a uoble-Hearted and brave man, are unmisiakable evidence 10 the passing traveller of the peils and horrors attending the life of he sarly settlers. Both the civil and the military arms of the government were uowerless. and failed to punish the Mexican outlaws and red-handed ma- rauders who were preyins continu- ously or the property and lives of the few unprotected settlers. And aside from thIs sad state of things, Arizona was SC isolated, cut of rom the out side world, East and west, by vast and bleak deserts covering hundreds of miles distance, with no food or water for either man or beast, and on the North b. a rugged and compact range of lofty mountains, with scarcely a feasible pass for pack mule, while on the South was the State of Sonora, in Mexico, which was steeped in revo- lution, and consequently all in that direction was chaos and confusion, with no security for either life or property. We had no communications of any account with the outside world, except an occasional mail by chance. Every pound of supplies used by the rancher or prosTector had to be hauled from three to five hundred miles on wagons, which necessarily made every thing very dear to the consumer, in deed freight alone was from to 10 cents per pound But on the other hand how different it is with the Ari- zona of today. Peace and harmony prevail throughout the land. The Apaches are subdued and living a. peace on their reservation, eating government beet, and so long as the Government keeps up the supply we nave nothing to fear from them, for hey are as happy as a family of rats n hay loft. We are secure in cur ally walks of life, and property is ,Afe, while prosperity and true happi- -ess are seen on every hand. Ye have dally and tri-weekly mails every place of any importance l the Territory, krsI1es telegraph . sawRdnication in all directions. great railway traverses the country from West to East-discharging freight and passengers in the very heart of cur Territory-the most pros porous section today on the globe. Capital is pouring in by the millions to assist in the development of our wonderful mineral and ether resources. Mills, machine shops and foundries are being built CD all sides. while schools and churches are being organ ized, which tends to create a good neral influence over the wayward. lIicE strikes and new discoveries of rich ml2erel deposits are the order Of the day on eve. hand.
 There has been rich strike made in the Mack Morris mine, in Rich mond Basin, a few days since, at the depth of l45 feet The ore assays over $500 per ton. The original Richmond mine is also yielding large quantities of very rich ore and many other mInes in that section of Globe District are gladdening the hearts of the.r fortunate owners with rich outputs of ore.
 There has been new and very rich ssr,s.e maae-in the Silver Era. The ore is free chloride, assaying up into the thousands Of dollars. The Sure Pop mine, near Ramboz Camp. a new discovery recently made by Messrs. Arthur aud Robinson. is looking we'll. The .ein is small but the ore free and very rich, which will be seen by three assays of the ore made by MT. E. O. Kennedy competent assayer of this place-No 1, SOl ounces, St1G4.9O: No. ?, 105l ounces, sl35S S4; No. 3, 39 ounces, $20.45.
 The Baldwin mill is running on full time on ore from the Mack Morris. The Nugget mill is also at work on ore from the company's mine, in the Basin, and you may expect soon to hear of the largest shipment of bullion that has ever been made from Globe, from the fact that the ore now being run is the richest that has ever been mllled here from the Basin.
 To conclude this letter. in nutshell, we see nothing to discourage anybody, but on the contrary, we see everything 1n animate
