The Territory Of Arizona averages pretty well. No o1s section has ell that makes f desirable Co the exclusion Of other sectioDs, but au parts have sd- vantsges and resouces that are destined to attract and sustain population The first great necessity Of tbe Territory IS the further building of railroads.
 In thls respect Ssuthern Arizona las had the advantage of other sections. The Southern Pacific railroad by its construction gave sn impetus to every industry. Population and capital fol- lowed in Its wake. Our mines have been developed and there is everywhere the evidences Of prosperity.
 What the construction Of the South- a-n Pacific has done for Southern AuzO- na, the Atlantic & Pacific is now doirgfor Northern Arizona That section of Ou- Territory IS rich in mineral resources, has considerable valuable sgacultural land, fine cattle ranges and m its mountains an abundance of timber IL l. no diffc1lt matter t0 pretlct Tor that -ection the same progress which came 8 little earlier to this section And ID the general progress all sections will be benefited. With railroads con necting the different sections, producing a community o' interest and trade, bringing business and prosperity Co all, sectional bushes shOuld cease and the whole Territory move on to the realiza- ton of the great future which We be- Eere lies bsf0re #. Nothing ls tO be gained by one section decryiuC another. The energy spent ID that way could be better employed in deTelopiug its re- sources and in efforts to induce capital to come to our assistance in opening up our mines, covering our cattle ranges with stock and utilizing the vast pine forests that adOru our mountain ranges. 1 We desire t5 see Arizona progress as a 1 whole during the Territorial perioi, and i finally, when the portals O, the C1iou are thrown open to us, emerge into State hood an empire ID eEteut 0i territory as | well a= iu resources.

TIE stock raising interest has be- come one Of the most important ID the Territory. There are now almost as many parties prospecting for stock ranges as for mInes and they are meet ing with good success. 4 number of ranges are under bond and will be sold and improved and heavily stocked by Eastern capitalists. Where ranges are well located with plenty of water there IS no business iu the world that offers the sure and certain enormous returns that cattle raising does. The annual increase in the number of cows on a range Is estimated at about 75 per cent. while the loss is comparatively light
 The climate ot Arizona is SO mild and favorable for stock that they do well. The price stock brings now and the cer- tainty of increase is what makes the business SO much sought after. The Legislature should make some law at the coming session to better protect the propertv rights of cattle owners.

From the Weaver District.
Prescott Democrat.


 Secretary Van Arman returned from visit to the Weaver inning district yesterday afternoon and reports the mines in that district as looking ex- ceediDgly well. The shaft of the Mar GUS IS being timbered and will be ready to resume work taking out ore in a couple of weeks. The owners o' this mine have realized over S75.OOO from if during the past season. The Van Ar man shaft IS down about twenty-two feet. The vein IL thIs mine IS about seven feet thick, with the walls well defined showing true Assure vein. The ore ls Of the same character as the celebrated Marcus mIRe, except IL has a better showing of free gold.
 The Nlnnehaha makes the best show ing of free gold of any mine in the dis trIct.

Cur of pure consideration for Gerer- al Crook the Prescott Mines remarks:
 We hope newspapers wIl allow the General commanding this Department to manage the Indian question without interference and also allow Lim tO keep headquarters where he wishes SO long as Indians are looked after and the Terri tory properly protected.
 The CITIZEN will continue to have nothing but commeudatiOu for General Crook wherever be may choose c. b. cate or keep headquarters, SO long as his administration of the affairs of this Department protects us from the curse of Indian outbreaks. The Territory has about outgrown it's swaddliDc clothing and IS no longer dependent upon army and Indian contracts. and if We can on- ly have peace and our people can be protected in their legitimate pursuits. that is all we can ask Of the military au- thorities. We can work out Arizona's destiny 1T every lew months or years h. dian outbreaks do not depopuiate and frighten away capital and setilerz.
