Tn the extent of explored territory does Arizona excel, but in the exceeding richness of these found and operated. Only an infinitesimal portion of her pre- cious metal districts have been discovered, and that there are others equally as good cannot l's doubted in the face of the many new accounts that are constantly coming in. Concerning the dan gers attendent upon prospecting in Arizona, there used to be a story to the effect that whenever an outfit was concluded prepara- tory for a seasons work, the crows and buzzards foe hundreds of miles around would assemble. They would roost in the trees and on prominent objects near by, and would comment among themselves as to the physical condition of the men and animals composing the party. With them it was only question of time. If the outfit servived the climate and water-or rather the lack of the latter-the Iadia ns would murder them in the end, so it was all the same to the crows and buzzards. But all these dan gers and difficulties did not deter the adventuresome prosp ectors from following up the indications of mineral wealth, and while numbers died and fed the carrion birds with their flesh, those who did escape succeeded in opening 10 the eyes of the world vast country whose mines will place it on a plane of prosperity equal to that enjoyed by the best. Indeed, even Colorado may have reason to look to laurels.-Denver Min Ing Review.

With this number the ARIZO- MA SENTINEL completes the twelfth year of it's existence. The next time this paper greets it's readers it will have entered upon the thirteenth year. AS the next oldest paper in the Ter ritory, it has been able to watch the growth and progress of this immunity in all its details. In local affairs the SENTINEL has played its humble part, and we think has always been upon the side of right. There have been numerous occasions when the positions taken by this paper were opposedsby invincible fore es, but time and the develop ment of events have shown that our policy has been the greatest good to the greatest number. During tho past year there has been marked improvement and progress in the substantial inter- ests of Yuma county. While the community has suffered from the business depression which has be n general throughout the Ter ritory, we have still prospered as a community. Our mines are improving with development, and are increasing in productive ness. Land hitherto regarded as worthles is being reclaimed, and agriculture will soon be one of the profitable industries of Yuma county. Within the next year we may look for greater strides of advancement. New enter priSes-mining agricultural and industrlal-will be started which will add to the wealth of our county and in wishing our readers a happy New Year, we are more than confident that our hopes will be realized.
