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 a new ard enar- gizing hope is visible everywhere among ker people. while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small iu,- pression as they transpired siugly, is now commanding for her fall share of a.tsn. ton and interest abroad among home syy.,rs and capitalists.
 4 lively Co., petition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone begging for ownership. There is a asCramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates a 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 chmacticer 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 a sunburst of energizing hope has thrilled the droop. ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endeavor than before.

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 tornia catches of AriEena 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 fnodern homes of our superior civilization are Srowding 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 8 HNpility 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 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 and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters of She yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.
