The Integrity of Construction of tho
The Arizona sentinel., 1896-05-16
 Resources
 of Yuma County.
-- -----

A .74iac inan 61st set foct on y hat is now Yuma 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 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 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 only water to become a paradise of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but talready reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on fOot to supply the life-giving waters of the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.
The Arizona sentinel., 1896-05-16

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 a 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 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 de8pondency  have suddenly rolled away, and sunburst of energizing hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater a,ld 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 a force of moral character which qualify her now to rise up and take her destiny in her own hands.
 The ropula5ion 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 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-da nearly so large @ Mexican population Colorado and not above one-tenth as mucl as New Mexico >"Fitz- Mac," in Denve News,

Acres, TOW proftless, c&H be made productive by the construction of irrigating dtches and there is no investment which assures larger more permanent returns.'
 The foregoing statements are not exaggerated; in fact, they fall short of doing justice to this derfu land. Pineapples, dates, almonds and wal nuts will do wei. Straw berries, raspberries black berries, currants goose5erries and all varieties of small fruits can be successfully cultivated Indeed, Yuma County is not only the natural homo of the citrus and somi-tropical fruits, as almost every fruit, nut, plant, grain, grass or vegetable which be produced in either tropic or temperate zone, will thrive in it's rich and fertile soils. WHY IMMIGRANTS SHOULD COME TO YUMA
 COUNTY.
 Because the climate is perfect.

 Because, unlike Southern California it does not require a small fortune to secure a piece of land
 Because capital does not block all the av- enues to wealth, nor crowd the poor man to the wall
 Because Uncle Sam has yet many farms in Yuma county waiting for occupants.
 Because churches, schools, newspapers and railroads are fast developing the moral and material elements of the Territory.
 Because good land is becoming scarce, and if you don't catch on now, your last chance will soon be gone.
 Because the country is one of the few regions of the United States that yields the products of the temperate and semi-tropic zones.
 Because the worker receives a fair com pensation for his labor, and the 'rustler' ha: field for the display of his energy and en- terprise. Because there are neither blizzards ol tornadoes, earthquakes nor inundations snow-storms nor cyclones.
 Because the vast and varied resources ot the country are yet to be developed.
 Because the wealth of it's mines, it's farm ing valleys, and grazing lands, will yet build up great and prosperous county.
 Because man can make livelihood her. with less labor than in any other part of the United States. Because there is health in every breeze and strength and vigor under it's cloudless skies.
 Because the settler need not spend a life time Tn telllng trees and grubbing out stumps.
 Because vegetation is so rapid that in two years the home Is surrounded by @ growtl of trees and shrubs which would Teouirt live years to develop in colder cline.
 Because fortunes here await the venture some, and health welcomes the afflicted
 Because the country has brilliant future and you want to be in the "swim."
 Because iii its pure, dry invigoratino air epidemic diseases cannot live or germinate Because it's people are generous. liberal hospitabie and progressive.
