 COLoNIsTS FOR MARICCPA.
 In order to obtain further particulars of the above company's enterprise Her aid reporter waited upon Captain D. B. Heating, one of its leading promoters, at the Mills House this morning. He was quite busy with people interested in his various agricultural and mining under takings now moving energetically forward in this county of diversified resources. But he found time to give the Herald brief explanation of a portion of the work to be attempted by his recently incorporated company.
 In settling new country, two things are necessary. First it must be made habitable. Here in particular, the desert IS to be watered. Then means for build ing are to be provided and ways for SUD- plying new comer's various wants must be devised. All these matters the com pany Is authorized to do and will do as effectively and cheaply as the best mod ern methods wisely employed permit
 WHERE THEY COME FROM
 The next essential factor in anew set tlement is somebody to settle. The Ari- Zona and Eastern Colonization Society proposes to draw upon the thrifty, shrewd and industrious communities of our var ious New England States. Many { worthy family turns longingly to this land Of perpetual spring, where flowers bloom and semi-tropical fruits ripen the year round. They cannot come here oI account of ways and means difficulties. These difficulties the new company vii seek to overcome. Director Booth ha this matter specially under his charge , With headquarters at Providence, R. L f he sends his agents all over the New En gland States. Wherever a family i found desirous of undertaking the ney , life in Arizona that has attracted so man,
 alreday, arrangements will be made b,
 which that family can settle there. Tn aim of the company IS to help such peopl 5 help themselves. It is no charitable en s terprise. All transactions will be con l. ducted upon purely business basis. Bu f we all know of golden opportunities miss
 ed because monied friends could not SC f them as we did and would not lend thei l. aid without which we could do nothing l. This company knows the possibilitie h of Arizona. Its directors have persona k knowledge of her resources. They kno7 }. worthy men can win competency fror l. our rich fruit and grain lands. The con
 pany runs no risk in advancing the mean s by which such settlers can be placed fac V to face with these conditions Tn h scheme has succeeded in California. O will succeed here.
 r Next fall will probably witness a co1
 siderable influx of desirable citizens, an
 every year will witness increased add
 tions to this land that is as fair as any tn
 suns hines upon.
