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 new and ener- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people, while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small i'm pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her full share of atten- tiOn 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 a 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- 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 con- pletion of two transcontinental lines of railroad across her erritory-Arizona has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulating fund of substantial wealth and a 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 predOmiuating element It think it is certain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large Mexican population as Colorado and not above One-tenth as much as New Mexico -~"Fitz- Mae" in Denver News,

 Because good mining properties can be had at reasonable figures.
 Because there is a demand for additional facilities for ore reduction.
 Because there are vast stretches of rich soil to be reclaimed by the construction of irrigating canals.
 Because there are large tracts of grass lands that can be utilized by the sinking ot artesian wells
 Because there are many openings in a new country which cannot exist in older com munities
 Because the opportunities for engaging in the successful cultivation of semi-trOpic fruits are better than in any other part of the United States.
 Because property values are rapidly ad- vancing.
 Because Arizona's boom is yet to come. Because 1t is a virgin field, ready for the seed which will produce golden harvest.

THE ECLIMATE OF YUMA.

The climate of Yuma for nine months of the year has no equal, as we believe, in the world, and during the remaining three months of the year, comprising June, July and August, the heat is not oppressive. Even though the thermometer in mid-sum- mer may al times rise above l000, and Oc- casionally even reach ll00, yet, owing to the absence of moisture in the air, it is not oppressive. The atmosphere is pure, light and balmy. When the mercury marks the highest extreme of heat, person does not feel that oppression or debility which is felt in the Eastern States when the mer- cury is ranging from SO' to 9O'. The air is so dry that precipitation is absorbed as soon as it reaches the surface of the body, and at no tune in the summer does the heat produce any discomfort.

YUMA COUNTY.

A hite nan first set foot on what Is now Yuma County in l77l. It is the southwest division of the Territory, and ens of the four original counties of the Ter ritery. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in 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 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 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 soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting o1ly water to become paradise ot 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.

LANDS AND SOILS,

The lands of Yuma County comprise the river bottoms and valleys and the uplands or nesas. The bottom ands moister and slightly mere fertile, if indeed. it is possible to make comparisons where all are so wonderfully productive and prolific. The uplands or mesas are warmer and, perhaps, sTVhty better for tbe cultivation ofths citrus fruits Yuma contains a variety of soil, The valley land
