How Arizona Was Named,

Here is the true way by which the
Territory of Arizona was named:
During the time that Herman Cortez
travelled through this country, over
800 years ago, there lived tribe
OF Indians in the country around
Casa Grande, near Florence that we're
named by Cortez himself, Los Mari
zones" Or the "Big Noses" The
women were called "Las Narizonas."
Now the query is: Did that Territory
derive it's name from that tribe of in
dams, now extinct? The supposition
is that it did. The country was named
by Cortez Gel Paris de las Narizonas,"
preferring, through politeness the
feminine to the masculine. After the
years the Mexicans dropped all that
preceded the word "Narizonas," and
in speaking of this country, then al
most a terra incognita, they would
say, "enNarizonas." In the course Of
time they eliminated the IN" at the
beginning and the, 's'' at the end OF
of the word, and it became Arizona,
as we now haveit.-Los Vegas IN. NJ
