ArizOna-Its Area, Boundaries, Etc.

This territory, the name of which
 is of Indian origin, comprises an
 area of 113,S67 square miles. It
 lies between 31 degrees 20 minutes
 and 37 degrees of north latitude,
 and is bounded by Nevada and
 Utah on the north, New Mexico on
 the east. Mexico on the south, and California and Nevada on the west, being separated from these two
 states by the Colorado river. It
 constitutes portion of the territory
 acquired by the United States from
 Mexico in 1S4S; a strip along it's
 southern border having been acquir-
 ed from that country a few years
 later under what is known as the
 Gadsdeu Purchase. Arizona was
 organized as a territory in 1863.
 Assessed valuation of taxable pro-
 perty in 1887, $26,313,50O. Popula-
 ton, 900OO whites and 35,OOO h. dians. The Pimas and Maricopas,
 who number about GOO and oc- cupy a reservation of 64,000 acres on the Gila river, live by the culti-
 vation of the land, and are partial
 ly civilized, as are also the Moquis and the Zunis living in the north. These latter tribes not now numer- ous, were by the Spaniards called
 Pueblo Indians from the fact that they inhabit pueblos or towns. The
 Papagos, numbering about 4,000 and living near the Mexican line, are also somewhat civilized, culti- vating the land to some extent and owning much stock. The Utes, a small tribe, inhabit the country ad- .acent to the Upper Colorado. The Mohaves, more numerous, live along the river further down. The Hual- apais, 800 in number, occupy the country to the east of the Mohaves. The Yumas, another small tribe, make their homes along the Colo rado and Gila rivers. The Yavapais and Apaches, numbering about g. 900, are but little civilized, and be- fore being reduced to subjecti on were nomadic in their habits. They have now been nearly all gathered on reservations, large areas of land having been set aside for the use of these and the other tribes mention cd, The .Apaches, savage and warlike race, whose depredations, on tine settlers and miners have much retarded the progress of the territory, have at last been so effect lally subdued that luther serious trouble with them is not appre- nended. The Navajos, the most
 enterprising and pros porous of these aborigines, number about 15,O00 souls, and, contrary to he rule, are on the increase. They cultivate the land, own 10000 horses, some neat cattle, and 100,- [ 100 sheep.-S. F. Mining Review.

The Tombstone Prospector makes the following timely denial: The rumor that the churches through out Graham county had been closed up on account of the ministers having all been taken to Tucson on q charge of having been connected with the Wham robbery. is a base fabrication. The fact of the con- tribution boxes on the Sunday fol- lowing the robbery being filled to Overfowing with money for the ministers is no reason why the ministry should be suspected"

Arizona's prosperity is assured, State or no State, but our admis- sion into the Union would give us a commercial standing which no Territory on earth can ever hope to attain. The American people love to have say as to who shall rule them, and the system of Territo- rial vassalage is repugnant to their sense of honor.-Ph9nix Gazette.
