 of Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

A white man first set foot on what is how YEma County in l77l. It IS the Southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter ritcry. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in a 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 erests 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 undeveloped 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 soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting only 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 fort 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 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 transpfred 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 aud 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 sunburst 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 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 prcdominating element. It think it is eel tain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large Mexican population as Colorado and not above one-tenth as much as New Mexico. >"Fitz- Mac," in Denver News,

acres now profitess, can be made productive by the construction of irrigatng ditches, and there is no investment which assures larger or more permanent returns" The foregoing statements not exaggerated; in fact they fall short of doing justice to this won derful land. Pineapples dates, almonds and wal nuts will do we'll Strawberries, raspberries, black berries currants gooseberries, and all varieties of small fruits can be successfully cultivated Indeed, Yuma County is not only the natural home of the citrus and semi-tropical fruits, almost every fruit, nut, plant, grain, grass or vegetable which De produced in either tropic or temperate zone will thrive in it's rich and fertile soils.
