 EDITOR CITIZEN: It does appear tc your correspondent that at this particu. lar iuncture of the earth's revolution ID war and rumOrs of war that the Ameri. can nation has reason to ba very thank. ful. We Americans in our high pressure speed of progressive aspiration do no, stop to consider the many and great ad- vantages the Creator of the common universe -as certa nly endowed Us with. What have we not? That Is the simple question. II ever nation on the face of the earth was favored with the Gre ator's divine blessing it IS tho United States ol America. It IS unnecessary 10 to dr attention 10 the many superior ads .ges We possess. Can We, by any reasOn of common sense, expect to either uiilze or completely develop all these vast resources in this our living gener- ation? Nonsense! It is abs1rb to think of such thing. "To do our duty. therein all the honor lies" IS all and simply our duty. We can do no more. What, may I ssk-and have just right ss a com mon resident of Arizona for i've years has Arizona to put forth her claim as 6 country of merit? What has she, in som- mon phrase, to back her upY Where are her mineral resources! Where are her agricultural resources? Have We not plenty? Certain 1t IS that We have. But what on earth can cause all our trouble? What has made capitalists all over our .mmon Unlon stand aloot from investing m ArZonA? Nothing, simply nothing, but the past practice and manipulation of pure. unsdulterated cussed deeeit. We who have resided in ArIzOna know well of these facts. Black msIlefs have had their day, and they b ve TO more strength or attention m the land. They are a doomed, mlser- able, worthless, vagsbond clique. Le- gItimate enterprises are the Only recog- niZed operations now attracting atten- ton. Merit, genuine merit. IS the only attractive nowadays, be It in the case of a privUte individual or corporation. A lit- tie over one year ago certain mining corporation concluded wIse to invest in certain m,nes in the Quijotoa mining district of Arizona. They very quietly made the investment, went as quietly to the lecsssary development work, and have steadily proceeded and pursued the same Course. What has been the result! Why simply 8 perfect and scientific development of the mines with satisfactory results. Tue benefit to the Country IS now about to manifest itself in ths near future. The Company oper- atinG the mines III question will soon prove tI th- world the iudiciousness of their investment, by the steady output of bullion from them, and a new or re- yiVsd interest will awake throughout Ar.Zb:a- Capitalists Tn search of mine AIll ;urn mp from every quarter, and the prOtTacted uOrmancy Tn Hll character of bu mess spring into new life. We all desire and need the change. lt has been a long, discOuragIng pull against the tide. Our resources are greHt, our hands are willing, but our finances are at low ebb. We want new enthusiasm, a fresh impetus. Ouce sglin started and the wheels set thoroughly in mo- ton, we shall move onward and convince the world that Arizona, though thOrny- looking in outward appearance, contains untold riches in its hidden mineral wealth.
 QUIJoTOA.
 What a strange name, r. Is steadily becoming an attractive name, however, and wi.l without doubt stand high on the "R D of Honor" as an extensive bullion producer. Tre good time is surely coming. Much has been said, much has been written, but nothing rep resented concerning the actual merit of is mines that cannot be substan- tiaied. The mineral Is here beyond question of doubt; but brief time will aml ly verify the fact, and prosperity wIll reign supreme, making many a heart leap with fullness of joy. To con- clude. will say the Quiiotos mines were meritorious m the beginning, are now at the present stage of development look ing better than the most ssnguIne eI- pectations of the owners anticipated and the near future will bring forth glorious results CoMo.
