Three years ago it was q desert; today there is a railway sta tlon at which all passenger trains of the Southern Pacific stop regularly, q telegraph office, a post office. an ex- press o1ice, hotel, store, school house. a printing office, a stock yard and chute for shipping cattle, and a thrifty and enterprlsing community, with newspaper, THE OASIS. to speak for them. Three years ago the spot on which Arizola stands was taken up as desert land, for which the govern ment was paid one dollar and twenty five cents per acre. Today town lots are selling rapidly from one hundred dollars up, aud cultivated land sur rounding the town is worth from forty to sixty dollars an acre and upward. That is what has been done at Arizola In three years. Come and join ln the grand work of making Arizola pros- porous city. We have the most fer tile farming land in the United States. and health giving climate not sur passed in the world.

 In accordance with such resolution all the miners and all the people of the great southwest, particularly of Colo. rado Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. are requested to assemble at Albu- querque. New Mexico, on the 18th and 2Oth days of September, 1893. A full attendance very desirable. If con- gress shall then have taken action fa- vorable to silver, d jollifcation will then be in order. If congress shall then still be deliberating, the voice of the people. demanding protection from the avarice of the m0nied classes should be emphatically heard. If sil- yer should be defeated in this congress. then the fight will only be begun-and it is our duty and privilege to assem- ble and make the power and determin- ation of the southwest felt. If, as the Bill of Rights declares, ''all political power is vested in and belongs to the people, and if we are worthy citizens of country whose whole structure is built upon that sentence, as the foun- dation stone, then the people must be vigilant and active, and no self-Sacri- flee should be so great as to deter them.
 Moreover. these gatherings are edu- cational. We must meet and exchange ideas, and study and learn. in order to know the impregnable nature of cur position to thcend that, in the proba- bly, coming battle of the standards" we may fight freely, as men fight for the right"
