ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social and industrial de- VelOpment. There can't be doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she has waited so 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- tion and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 1 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 it's 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 a sunhurst of energizing hope has thrilled the droop- 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 transcontinental lines of railroad across her territory-Arizona has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulating a 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 a 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 a Mexican population as Colorado and not above onc-tenth as much as New Mexico -"Fitz- Mac" in Denver News.

The above cut illustrates AUTOMATIC WATER GATE, to regulate and keep In subjection the rise of water in canal, due to over-abund ant flow, or to sudden rises in the canal owing to severe rains or storms.
 It is particularly valuable to have such Water Gate placed in lower bank of canal, at such points along it's line Where there are Ravines, Gullies, ArroyoS, Foot Hills, Buttes, or Tableland, as any rains storms bring down at such points surplus of water that is very dangerous to the banks of canal. The Waste Gate, however, will prevent such damage, as it is
 SELF-ACTING AND PERFECT SAFETY VALVE Relieving the canal, at short intervals of it's plus water, thus preventing the washing away of banks, and causing great damage generally, no alone to canal, but property owners all along the line, who may suffer more or less damages there afterfor the want of water owing to the damaged condition of canal, and while such hrepairs are beDg made. Not only is it valuable to- relieve canal of it's surplus water, to prevent damage and ex- pense, but by it's use the first cost of canal con- struction will be materially lessened, as the banks need not be made so high wide.
 The device is extremely simple, and compara- lively inexpensive Its plan of operation is this:
 There is pipe fastened to opening in the vertical gate, l. When the body of water rises to the level of the upper end of pipe, 2, water runs freely into the tank 8, which is immediately filled. thus Overbalaneing the weight, A. which is on the other end of lever 5, thus forcing open the gateI which suddenly relieves the canal of a large sur plus of water. When body of water recedes below certain level, no more water is admitted tS she Iank, InSTeLOEe eHlpOleS lISelI Oy opening, 6, at the bottom; this being done, the weight overbalances tank, and brings down the lever, which, being rigid to the swinging gate, closes it. This operation continues at short in tervals so long as the body of water keeps rising over certain level The lever, gate, pipe and tank are all rigid, and hinge, pivot, a hori- zontaI shaft The gate, Hume or box can be made any height width, or length desired. The gate can be hinged between any bulkhead without box.

-s Resources
 of Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

A white man first set foot on what Is now Yuma County in I'll. It is the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of Che Ter ritory, Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few years ex- pect to see Yuma County rated as the richestin the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali fornia catches of Arizona is that of the picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugly situated 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 eternal oblivion. 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 a country whose agricultural possibili- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by a soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting oaly water to become paradise of bloom. Billions 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.
