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 upbuildiDg just be-
fore her. The impulse of new and ener-
giving hope is visible everywhere among
her people. while the cumulative effect of
many things, which made but small i'm
preston as they transpired singly, is now
commanding for her a full share of attcn-
ton 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
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 dependency
have suddenly rolled away, and sunhurst
of energizing hope has thrilled the droop.
ing spirits of the people to greater aud
drawer 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 has
rather dropped out of public attention
but in that time she has been quietly &C
cumulating fund of substantial wealth
and force of moral character which
qualify her now to rise up and take hel
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
in the territory, the city of Tucson, anc
even there it is not by any means at pres
ent the predominating element. 1t think
it is certain that arizona has not to-day
nearly so large Mexican population as
Colorado and not above one-tenth as mucf
as New Mexico. --"Fitz- Mac" in Denver

Of
Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

s. white man first set foot on what is
ssw YrRa Counsy in f7Tf. 1t Is the
southwest division of the Territory, and
one of the four original counties of the Ter
-itcry. Many great reclamation projects are
however on foot, and in few years ex-
pect to see Yuma County rated as the
richest in She Territory.
The first glimpse the traveller from Cali
ornia catches CT Arizona is that of the
picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugly
situated in the embrace of gentle rolling
hills, upon whose cres5s 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 ardeyeloped riches the eyes Of the
country are at present turned, and as such,
she is bound to grow and prosper with a
-apidity that at present can hardly be re-
allied But coupled with her geographic
cal position we End that she is the center
of q 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 of
bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious
nuid have annually gone to waste at
Euna's kerry doors, but already reaction
is taking place and many enterprises are
on foot 70 supply the life-giving waters OF
the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.
