Although a5 the time of writing 1t is
 impossible to tell the result of the elec-
 non and predict what its effect will be
 upou the future prosperity of this Terri
 tory. still independent of that there is
 much 70 encourage the people of this
 Territory.
 We believe that unless some unfore-
 seen ascident occurs there will be a
 larger iudu1 of population and capital
 into Arizona in the coming years than
 ever before. The bonanza mises Of the
 Territory. the exhibit at Denver, which ia richness and character of ores, stood
 ua-.raled. and tue successful develop
 meut of many properties not yet yield
 lug bullion all call tle attention of east ern capital to Arizona.
 Capital is all seeking places of remu- ue-atiye investment and in no place has legitimate mining been more successful ly carried on than in Arizona. We have been free from stock deals, but the legIt- mate dividends of mines have demon s,rsted the richness of the Territory in the precious metals.
 Each years developments have the | more tally demonstrated this fact and to-day Arizona stands better in the eyes 5t investors than any other mineral sec ! t0n. We can safely look for a large | boom in this important interest during the coming year.
 TLe live stock interest IS also assum- iug magnitude that makes it one of the most important factors of the Ter -tory's wealth. Capital is turning its attention to this interest as never be- fore, and there are several large opera 50us on foot that will put many hun dred thousand dollars into this business in Arizona. Time and experience have demonstrated that Arizona is without an equal as 6 stock country and that there is nn uJre sure and certain busi- ness than stock raising here. Men who have made their fortunes in the more hazardous business of mining art put tlg their money into stock as a safe and sure investment.
 The agricultural interest of the Ter lt5ry Is also growing and assuming an importance which 1t has not enjoyed heretofore. The large hone market ! which the great mining enterprises of tLe Territory produce makes the culti- vauou of our fertile valleys a certain 8 source Of wealth.
 Al these interests in Arizona have rece.Ted a great impetus from the rail road building ofthe past few years. First came 5le Southern Pacific which opened T up this southern country, giving us ac- cess tu ,ho e-Itslde worIG, uOuUnng our population, increasing the wealth and s taxable property of the Territory. Since then the 4. * P. R. E. has begun to do for northern Arizona what tae $. P. did for thIs section and the AT 5. F. have extended their line through southern Arizona and down through Sonora to the gulf. All these -aais will swell the population and in crease the wealth of Arizona. Besides these there are a number of roads now I1 contemplation with routes which are practicable and through sections of the country rich Tn natural resources With the construction of these roads T Arizona will continue to expand and i develop as Colorado has done, and in the yery near future we will have the population necessary to Statehood. ' We can see nothing but bright hope in tue future for this Territory.
