 In America the resources are greater
 and more varied than iQ Europe. The
 c1nters Ot populations are less
 crowded too, unless. be in one or two
 large cities on the Atlantic coast. The
 pioneers of the Ar-yan race, are no less a
 novelty m America to-day, than they
 were m Europe two thousand years ago.

 The resources of a country, then. are -le means 1t affords by which the llhoT- CT can obtain au independence and capI- tll can grow. What, then, are the resources Of Arr zora. of Pima county of Tucson :

The entering wedge to civilization on rho Pacific coast was the glittering gold picked up by Marshall m the tall-race at O oma. Tbe information of this Ie | source spread without telegraph or press | and people did not wait for palace cars f, come. When this resource was eN- Lausted they turned tO agriculture | anl the less exciting pursuits. lhs | ,oli fields brought them and the | grain fields kept them.
 | Within the boundaries of Arizona are | gs great resources as Tn California, or | any VIC tern state. These resources are | in a measure undeveloped. That IS, l there are drawbacks to be overcome ID | making them profitable. If people know | of these resources they will come and avail themselves of them.

 We have the press to tell the people abroad about our country. We have the
 railroad to bring them here. Southern l California, by availing herself of these agencies, is building up a wonderful | country. Why may not Arizona do ] likewise? Why should not every mine, ] store, factory. farm or business enter \ prise he written up for the press, and the | lacts given 10 the world, so that 1t can | know how We live?
