YUMA COUNTY.

4 white nan first set foot on what is now Yuma County in l77I. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter ritery. 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 rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographl- 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 o1ly water to become paradise oi 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 to supply the life-giving waters oi the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

 Because there are chances for a poor man which he can never hope to find in older countries.
 Because the country is advancing and property values are increasing.
 Because, unlike Southern California ait does not require 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 lmoral 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 Uuited States that yields the products of the temperate and semi-tropic zones.
 Because the worker receives a fair com pensati0n for his labor, and the srustIer' ba, a field for the display of his energy and en terprise.

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 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- porienced sometime in it's history when. after long and weary struggle and doubt, with each side of the balance first up and then down, the clouds of despondencv have suddenly rolled away, and sunhurst of energizing hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater aud 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 has rather dropped out Of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulating 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 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, 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-day nearly so large Mexican population as Colorado and not above tenth as much as New Mexico. >''Fitz- Mac" in Denver News
