night, and only retired to their respec-

The Arizona sentinel., 1896-06-06
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 inn 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 scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken ingthan 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 uOWus GH6 CIOuuS OI ueSpOnQe0Cy have suddenly rolled away, and sunhurst of energizing hope has thrilled the droop ing spirits of the people to greater anc braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com pletion of two transcontinental lines O railroad across her territory-Arizona hai rather dropped out of public attention but in that time she has been quietly ac cumulating fund of substantial wealtI and a force of moral character whicl qualify her now to rise up and take he destiny in her own hands.
 The population of Arizona is Mexican This is mistake of great importance iron the moral point of view. There is but on considerable center of Mexican population in the territory, the city of Tucson, ant even there it is not by any means at pres ent the predominating element. It thinl it is certain that Arizona has not tot da, nearly so large Mexican population a Colorado and not above e-tenth as muc as New Mexico. >"Fitz- Mac," in Denve News.

 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 undegeloped 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 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 only water to become paradise o bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste al Yuma's very doors, butalready reaction is taking place and many enterprises art on foot to supply the life-giving waters O the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.
