ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an 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 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- 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 arc falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lenders than this.
 Arizona has reached that elimacticer 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 has rather dropped cut of public attention. but in that time she has been quietly lc- cumulating fund ot substantial cajtA

It's Attractions and Advantages as a
 Place of Residence in Winter.

Whitelaw Reid. owner and editor of the New York Tribune, who has spent the last two winters in Arizona for the benefit of his health, writes entertainingly and in structively concerning that part of the country. Mir. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as place for winter residence, and there appears to be such a dearth of pre- else information among many who are vitally interested, that it seems almost a public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, few facts of personal observation.
 WEATHER.
 During five months residence in Southern Arizona in winter there was but one day when the weather made it actually unpleasant for me to take exercise in the open air at some time or ether during the day. Of course there were good many days which weather observer would de scribe as cloudy" and some that were "shoWery; but during these five months (from No' ember, 1895, to May, lS98,) there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dar- ing the day. Even more than Egypt, any where north of Luxor, Arizona is the Iaad of sunshine. As to details:

A whit. nan first set foot on what is ac~ anna County in l77L It IS the southwest division os the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter ritory. Maay eatreclaHation projects are however or foot, and in few years ex- Pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 Fbe -iTst glimpse the traveller from Cali forula 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 tho 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 eountry 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 geographi- 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 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 js taking place and many enterprises are en foot to supply the life giving waters ot the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

MINES.

There is no section of the United States, or probably Of the earth, more rich in min eral wealth than the CouRty of Yuma. All the country north, east and south of Yuma lies directly within the main gold belt that commences in Alaska and ends in Mexico
 From the San Rornardino mountains in California to the Sonora boundary line the mountains and hills are exceptionally rich in the precious metal, as though demonstrating the theory often advanced that the richest gold mines are teund bordering the beds of

 That again depends on what you expect. You cannot have the luxuries of our New York houses out there, unless you build one; or the variety of our New York markets, unless you charater refrigerator car. But there are hotels with almost as much frontage as the Waldorf; and, like everything else in the Territory excepting the noun tains and deserts, they are new. There are boarding houses of more kinds than one; and brick cottages of eight or ten rooms can occasinally by rented. Bet ter than any of them, for the man with the energy and the pluck to take it, is to tent on the desert; and he who knows how to "camp out" with comfort through Septem Der In the Adirondacks can camp out in Arizona through the winter.
 AS to food, there is plenty, and it Is good-if you can get it we'll cooked. The alfalfa fields of the Salt River Valley are the fattening ground for the great cattle ranges of the Territory. From there the markets of Los Angeles and even of Denver are largely supplied, Good beef, mutton and poultry are plenty and cheap. Quail, ducks and veuison from the vicinity can also be had Vegetables and fruits are abundant in their season, and sometimes the season is long one.
