brought into the world and nursed
through its sickly infancy by money
dug from the earth OF Nevada, cries
aloud In o spasm OF anguish that the
free silver men intend to continue the
money question in politics until the

cceds to deliver gratuitous lecture

parental solicitude, that such course
will result in defeat again. The Post
is. perhaps, the rankest gold-bug or

source Of revenue is the delinquent

advice to Bryan, Jones, Stewart, ct

need its advice they will ask for it.

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of Rn 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 8 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.
 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. The rates of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the moaey lenders than this.
 Arizona has reached that ciimacticer period which every western state has ex- perienced 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 despondency have suddenly rolled away, and sunburst of enerCiZinp hone has thrilled the droOn- 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 transeontinental lines of railroad across her territory-Arizona has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac. cumulating fund of substantial wealth

Brief Statement of Facts Setting Forth Many by County Place of Residence.

< white man first set foot on what is ROW Yuma County in l77l. It is the southwest division of the Territory, and 'ene of the four original counties of the Ter : tery. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in & few years ex- pect to see Tnnaa 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 7sttxated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills, upon whose crests and sides the modern homes of our superior civilization -are crowdiBg 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 country are at present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with a
 apidity thst 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 possibli- , ties are practically unlimited. being sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting only waterto 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 lifs-giving waters of the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

Its Attractions and Advantages as &
 Place of Residence in Winter.

WhiteIaw Reid. owner and editor of the New York Tribune, who has spent the last two winters in A1izona for the benefit of his health, writes entertainingly and in structively concerning that part of the country. Mr. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zoua as place for winter residence, and there appears to be such 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 8 five months residence in Southern Arizona il winter there WAS bat 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 a good many days which e weather observer would de- scribe as cloudy" and seme that were "shoyery; but during these five mouths from No' ember, 1895, to May, lS96.) there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dur ing the day.

extinct oceans. The great Colorado desert was once an inland sea, cut of centuries and perhaps ages ago from the main ocean, leav- ing it's waters to evaporate in this inteGse heat. Throughout all the country border ing the desert, including this section, rich mines are being constantly discovered, and some of recent location are already produc- ing immense profits. In the neighborhoed of Yuma, claims exceedingly rich oa the surface are daily being located, and all signs portcpd great mining boom for this county which will culminate as early as the coming fall in an inroad of much capital Experts are arriving every week and mines are being bonded at more than heavy prices. It seems wonderful to believe that all this min eral wealth has been lying at our very doors for 30 many years without 8 taker, but the tendency of prospectors is to go 8 long dis tance of into strange lands rather than to seek for mines in county as old as Yuma County and 50 accessible. The greater the distance, the hardship. and the danger, the greater the fascination for the prospector. Distance seems. indeed, to lend enchant- ment to the view.
 So it is that this county IS almost virgin field for the mine hunter, and now with the few hundreds searching ln it's mountains it's mineral secrets are still in effect secrets, for thousands upon thousands might be wander ing through the rock-ribbed businesses of our mountain ranges and their presence be almost unknown, 30 vast is the extent sf country
 Recent rich discoveries of gold deposits, particularly in lodges, have given great impetus to mining throughout the county.
 New locations are being constantly made, and all show well upon the surface. The La Fortuna mine, recently put iu operation, has 2)-stamp mill running night and day, and the production of gold averages $75, GOO per month. This mine is situated about 30 miles southwest of the village of Yuma.
 Rich gold discoveries have also been made in Castle Dome, Harqua Hala, Centennial, Palomas, Pot Holes, and other mining dis- tricts, and, although the mining outlook in the county was never better, still most ot the silver and lead mines are idle, owing to tho low value of these metals.

la the valleys of the Colorado and the Gila rivers there is room for thousands. It is not too much to say that nowhere within the limits of this broad Unioa can be found more desirable region for the making of a home. No laborious clearing of the land is required; it lies almost ready for the blow Trees and shvubhery have 50 rapid growth that within eighteen months the immigrant can surround his abode with attractions which would require years to mature in less favored climates. Fruits ripen and are ready for market a full month before the California products. The bright sunshine makes life luxury, and the pure dry atnos- phere brings health to all who inhale it. For the establishment of colonies, such as are made in southern California. Arizona pre- sents unrivaled opportunities. Thousands of acres now proftless can be made produc. ] tive by the construction of irrigatiug ditches, and there is no investment which assures larger or more permanent returns.
 The statement in this article on Yuma county are not exaggerated; in fact they fall short of doing justice in this wonderful bit of country. Pineapples, dates, almonds and waluuts will do well Strawberries, rasp- berries, blackberries, entrants, gooseberries, and all varieties of small fruits can be sue. cessfully cultivated. Indeed. Yuma County is not only the natural home of the citrus and semitropical fruits, as almost every fruit, nut, plant, grain, grass, or vegetable which can be produced in either tropic oi temperate zones will thrive in the rich and fertile soils.
 With the bright prospects ahead of the town of Yama and Yuma County there can be no better investment for capital seeking large and renumerative returns than is af- forded here. With a matchless climate, where all forms of disease known to the damp and rigorous regions of the east and north are unknown, where the bright srn- shine kisses into bloom and fragrance every form of vegetation, and where the clear days and cool and balmy nights are enc long-con- I tinued poem of happiness and delight, we can offer to capitalists an ideal field for in vestment and to home seekers o veritable paradise in which to settle.
