The Business of Yuma.

For town of its nnmber of inhabi-
 tsnts, Yuma ranks Al as business place. In years gone by t was the most impor'
 tant point south of San Francisco, and today more goods pass in and ont than
 through any other town in the Territory. Yuma has numerous resources which
 need but little development to cause them
 to spring into branches of trade amount ing to thousands of dollars. All the up
 per portion of this section of the country
 draw their supplies from here. The diff
 fsrent stations along the river. both min
 ing and agricultural, are dependent upon us. One merchant last month shipped in one lump 100, 900 lbs. of merchandise up the river, not to say of numerous other conslguments. Of course in every town there are croakers who continually con- plain of hard times, a1d Yuma is no ex- ceptiou. But if you will examine these complainants you will find they are men who do put little of anything, either for their own or the comm unity's good, We have three stores in Yuma of which one carries a S60, 900 stock, and the other two $40, 900 each. One hundred and forty thousand dollars invested by three firms would make good showing in any place. Wells, Fargo & Co. last month shipped $21, ,9s2.S0 in treasure. The busi- ness is here and we are fortunate enough to have live men to han ale it. From the favorable outlook from the mines in this section our trade is bound to increase. Agriculture is also taking position among our resources and IS steadily grow ing year by year. When town has butcher shops that can sell nearly S1o0 worth of beef in 24 hours it must have a business behind it to support such ex- penditure.

An attempt was made to rob Boxin's res taarant last week and three individuals were arrested, tried and convicted for the crime. From certain circumstances it was thought they were the parties who robbed 8 ahsrdwafe store in San Bernar- dino some time since, and the authorities of that place were communicated with. Tuesday a deputy sheriff arrived, and after interviewing the prisoners, and the articles found on them by Sheriff Tyner when he arrested them, concluded to take them back to San Bernardino. They robbed a Pullman palace car conductor of his train satchel containing $500.
