YUMA COUNTY.

4 N hite man first set foot Oil what IS HOW Yuma County in l77l. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and ane of the four original counties of the Ter 2;tsry. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in a few years ex- gect to see Yuma County rated as the richest ;n the Territory.
 The first glimpse tie traveller from Cali ornia 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 cgoa ding 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, aud as such, she is bound to grow and prosper Tlth~ a sapidity that at present can hardly be re- slized. But coupled with her geogaphi- cal position we find that she is the center ofa country whose agricultural possibili- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility Of which exceeds that o. the delta Of the Nile, and wanting oaly water to become paradise ot bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters ot rre yeLlaw Colorado to sbs thirsty earth,

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of 1n 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 Le- 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 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 scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this. Ths 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 cimacticer 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 erritory-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 a 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 1t is eel tain that arizona has not to-day nearly so large 8 Mexican population as l Colorado and not above tenth as much as New Mexico. r"Fitz- Mac" in Denver 1 News.
