ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social and industrial de- velopment. There can't be a doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she has waited 50 long is breaking at last. There IS every promise of day of great pros perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of a new and ener- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people. while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small inn pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her a full share of atten. tien and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There is scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lenders than this. Arizona has reached that climacticer period which every western state has ex. perienced sometime in its history when, | after'long and weary struggle and doubt, with each side of the balance first up and then down. the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and sunhurst of energizing hope has thrilled the droop- l.ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com- pletion of two tanseontinental lines of railroad across her territory-Arizona has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly &C., cumulating fund of substantial wealth and force of moral character which qualify her now to rise up and take her destiny in her own hands.
 The population of Arizona IS Mexican. This is mistake of great importance from the moral point of view. There is but one | considerable center of Mexican population | in the territory, the city of Tucson, and even there it is not by any means at pres ent the predominating element. It think it is certain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large Mexican population as Colorado and not above onc-tenth as much as New Mexico.-"Fitz-Mac," in Denver News.

 of Yuma County,
YUMA COUNTY.

A white man first set foot on what is now Yuma County in l77l. It is the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter xitery. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in 8 few years ex- pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali fornia catches of Arizona is that of the nicturessue town of Yuma, which is snugly aituated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills. upon whose crests and sides the modern homes of our superior civilization are crowding the adobe dwellings into eternalobiivion. Yuma is the gateway to Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undeyeloped riches the eyes of the
 ountry are at present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with a 'rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that she is the center of c country whose agricultural possibili- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting oaly water to become paradise of bloom BiTfions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters of the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

New Mormon settlement in Mexico.

New Mormon Settlement in Mexico,
Correspondence of the New York Post
Four miles from the little village of San
Borgia, 100 miles west Of the city of Chi
huahua, is a new Mormon settlement as yet
without name. So far the settlers only
lumber thirty young men from Salt Lake,
who are acting as pioneers to the colony
that is to follow. The Utah saints have
purchased the hacienda, of Mr. Marshall
and can boast Of owning land ten miles
square; land as mountainous, rocky and
steep as anything --in---their ewn7n loved
Wasatch range. The range here, however,
is covered by pine timber as fine as any in
Wisconsin, and, to-, the very mountain tops
1t Is carpeted with tall. nutritious grasses.
The valleys are deep and narrow, mere
canons rather than valleys, affording very
little ground capable of cultivation; but
that little yields two abundant crops each
year. Clear, cool water is abundant every
where. It looks like a queer place for a
colonyS but 1t Is magnificent place. for a
large stock farm.
The few houses SO far created look more
like those of thrifty stockman than the
nucleus of future city. A great deal has
been said about Mormon possessions en-
bryo Salt Lake cities, In Mexico. and this
cattle ranch has been pictured as the CEN
ter from which the church will some day
rule this land as they once did Utah We
went out Of or way to see the new settle
ment and do not believe 1t to be Intended
for anything more than a large company
cattle ranch. This and the little town of
Ascension. 100 miles west of Ell Paso, are
the only footholds the Mormons have in
Mexico. Railroads are developing this coun-
try too fast for any outside church syndi-
cate, or organization Of any kind, to do
more than control the'1ocaf affairs of small
communities. 1T will be impossible under
the present ational policy for the Nor
mons, as such, to gain vany. noticeable
power or influence.
