Resources
 of Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

4 white nan first set foot on what is now Yrma 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 undeveloped riches the eyes of the country are at present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with q 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 or the Nile, and wanting o1ly water to become 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 70 supply the life giving waters of the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.
The Arizona sentinel., 1896-04-18

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 upbuiIdiDg just be- fore her. The impulse of a new and encr- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people. while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small i'm pression as they tronspired singly, is now commanding for hera full share of atten- ton and interest abroad among home seekers and eupitali:ts.
 A lively competition has sprung up for the possession Of things which ha, e he etc. fore gone a-beggng for ownership There is scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken. ing than this. Tine rates of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition amoug the money lenders than this
 Arizona has reached that cIimacticer period which every western state has ex. pei iienced sometime in its history when. after long and weary struggle and doubt. with each side of the balance first up and then down, Che clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and sunLu,st of cnergizing hope has thrilled the droop. ing spirits of the people to greater and braver eI deavor than before.
 For the last tu elre years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the colu- pletion of two transcontinental lines of railroad across her territor,-Arizoua has rather dropped out Of pubiC attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulatipe fund of substantial ealtll and a force Of moral character which qualify her now to rise up and take her destiny i'll her ON n hands.
 Tie 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 in the territory, tue city of Tucson, and even there it is not by any means at pres ent the predoninating. element. It thinI, it Is eel tain that AriEona has not to-day nearly SO large a Mexican population as Colorado and not above One-tenth as much as New Mexico.- -"Fitz. Mac" in Denver News
