IN NORTHERN ARIZONA
A LAND OF GRAND SCENERY AND
 RICH PROMISE.
Judge HazledIne Speaks of the Magnia- cent Country Through Which the Atlantic X Pacific Railroad Passes.

"The resources of Northern Arizona? We'll, sir, they are almost unlimited" said Judge Wm. c. Hazledine, General Attorney for the Atlantic and Pacific railroad, to a REPUBLICAN representative yesterday in the course of an interview.
 "The principal industries are stock raising, mining and numbering. And not nearly all of the people have heard of those magnificent natural wonders, the petrifed forests and the Grand Canon of the Colorado, or if the have, they do not believe they are in Arizona. The Atlantic and Pacific railroad tray erses scope of country in the northern part of the Territory which is as prolific of wealth as any similar section in the world, and it is one of the purposes oi that road to assist in developing this wealth.
 "The Counties of Apache, Yavapai, Mohave and now Coconino, all have vast resources. Apache abuts the western boundary of New Mexico, and stock raising is very extensively engaged in. The valley and mountains afford any quantity of public range. The cafions, gorges, magnificent timbers, small val leys with the sparkling springs and nat ural lakes, too, are features ol this sec ton, which will some day attract scenic and pleasure hunters. The town oi Holbrook is on the line of the Atlantic S Pacific, in this county, ani Is sup ported in prosperous way by the stock raising industry. It is on the Little ln r,, md ia in ha n tnr nj n valley susceptible of considerable agri- cultural development. The finest oi Irish potatoes are raised at this point.
 "ln Yavapai County we have Flag staff on the line oi the railroad. It has it's extensive lumber mills, with an in- exhaustable supply of timber to draw from. Also sandstone Quarries, pro ducing beautiful and substantial shipped to Washington in the North and New York in the East. There Is no apparent limit to it's supply, either. From this point tourists visit the Grand Canon of the Colorado. It would take every column of your paper to suggest the wonders and grandeur of this one point of interest in Arizona. Peach Springs is another point on the railroad III MOiiaNS Souhty run "hSiS Nioi'oiS D go to the canon.
 The Prescott & Arizona Central Rail road leaves the Atlantic x Pacific at Pres 'ott Junction and makes run O about seventy-tve miles to Prescott. This branch accommodates:the immense shipments of the Hillside mine and the United Verde Copper Company. This is one of the weathiest institutions and 1l,,p hn world. MT. Clark, of Montana, is presi- dent of the company.
 The Central Arizona Railway Com pany, running from Flagstaff, is about thirty-fve miles in length and is used mostly fr freighting lumber and tim Der. The projectors of the road, how ever, believe, intend to finish the line to Phoenix by way of Globe, which will be of inestimable benefit to your section. Along the line of the Atlantic X Pacific in Mohave County are splendid mining s resources. kingman is the center of q . very prosperous mining section and has sampling works to which the ores are brought for reduction. There are some agricultural lands south of Kingman which are being reclaimed by irrigation. "The whole north of Arizona is pro- ductive of untold wealth and no sort of an idea can be formed of it's great re- sources until one travels through it. It is the desire of the Atlantic & Pacific people to see all of these resources de- veloped and to see the district through which it passes populated. l will sub init today communication to the Legislative Assembly suggesting a me. morial to Congress, asking for an appro' priation wherewith to survey all the railroad grant lands in the Territory, and by this means we hope to have the Allan X Pacific grants brought under proper taxation and settlement"
