 of Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

white nan first set foot on what Is now Ynna County in TIT. It Is the Southwest division of the Territory, and one 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 Ccurty 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 country 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 soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting oaly water 10 become a paradise of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already a reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life giving waters of the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

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 periry and permanent uPbuiIliDg 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. presaion as they tr. inspired singly, is now commanding for her a full share of atten- ton and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 1 lively competition has sprung ID for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-bcgging for ownership. There Is a scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates g great industrial awaken ing han 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- palicnced sometime in it's history when, after long aud weary struggle and doubt, with each side Of the balance first up and then down, the clouds of despondencv nave SuUuCLll( lCI4Gu dNGE "jtu a SGubplSU of energizing hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endeavcr than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com pleticn of two transcOntinental lines of railroad across her territor5--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 mistake of great importance from the moral point of view. There is but one considerable center of Mexican population jn the territory, the city Of Tucson, and even there it $ not by any means at pres ent the predominatiDg element It think 1t is certain that arizona has not to-day nearly so large Q Mexican population as Colorado and not above One-tenth as much as New Mexico. r"Fitz- Mae" in Denver News.
