YUMA COUNTY.

< white man first set foot on what Is aow Yrma County in TIT. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and ene of the four original counties of the Ter gitcry. 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 ornia catches of Arizona is that ot 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 N hose undeveloped riches the eyes ot the country are at present turned, and as snch' she is bound to grow and prosper with a rariditv that at present can hardly be re- Aiized. But coupled with her geographl- cal position we find that she is the center of a country whose agricultural posslbul- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by a 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 fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place sad many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters or the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of ln era of wonderful sociai 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 upbuildipg 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 i'm pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her full share of atten- tion and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 i 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 despondency have suddenly rolled away, and sunhurst 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 a 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 mistake of great importance from the moral point of view. There is but one considerable center of Mexican population in ths territory, the city of Tucson, and even there it is not by any means at pres ent the predominating element. It think 1t is eel tain that arizona has not to-day nearly so large a Mexican population as Colorado and not above one-tenth as much as New Mexico. >"Fitz- Mae" in Denver News.

A FEW QUESTIONS

We ask our Wall street friends
the following questions:
l. How could free coinage drive
six hundred and twenty millions Of
gold out Of our circulation. when,
according to every competent au-
thority, there is not now twenty
five millions Of it circulation in
the whole country?
2. How can 1t be said that we
we're on a gold basis from 1884 to
1862, when all our silver coins of
whatever description were legal
tender down to 1853, aud the dollar
of Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Spain and
the silver coins of several other
countries, were legal tender down
to 1857?
3. How can it be said that we
had no silver in circulation from
1884 to 1873, when all the coins
above enumerated we're in actual
circulation as full legal tender be.
tween the times mentioned?
t. Was the silver dollar a fifty
three cent dollar in 1873, when it
was worth one dollar and three
cents in gold?
8. If the bullion in a silver dollar
will buy as much today as it did in
1873, what makes it a ffty-three
cent dollar now?
6. What would the holder of sill
yer bullion make by bringing it
across the ocean for coinage, when
he would receive the same bullion
back If he preferred to wait for it,
with the governments stamp at
tached, if free coinage would not
enhance the value of silver?
7. If the silver miner could take
fifty three cents worth of silver to
the mints and have it coined into a
hundred-cent dollar thereby gain
| ing forty-seven cents, how would
that dollar become a ffty-three
cent dollar when it reached the
| hards of the llboring man?-Mari-

800 Reward, 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that sci
enCe has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being a cOnstitu-
tional disease, requires a constitu-
tional treatment Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the COnsti-
tuition and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case thatit fails to cure.

talnment is to be commented tor
the good taste which marks every
feature Of il. The costumes are
appropriate, the scenery unique
and the dialogue reduced to a mini
mum, though what there is Of it, is
always acceptable. There are no
coarse jokes, suggestive illusions or
questionable pranks, such as some
times spoil acrobatic performances.
The incidental music is pretty.
The company is thoroughly ade-
quate. The specialties are ingeni
GUS and amusing to a degree. No
maudlin melOdrama is introduced,
and consequently there are no silly
lines and painful situations to en-
dure. The John Byrne troupe OF
