Eastern people believe Arizona to be with vast stretches of desert sand; the abiding place of scorpions and poisonous snakes and every known venomous and dangerous reptile; country in which human life is in constant peril, the most forhidding of all in our domain. When the truth is known it will be realized that Arizona possesses soil and clim ate to make very Eden, a garden suited to the gods; an empire to excite the envy of dwellers in less favored climes; field that today is more enviting to enterprise and capital than any m all the land.
 The agricultural resources of Arizona have only been developed to the dignity of an object lesson. One hundred thou sand square miles of water shed finds an outlet at the junction of the GIla and the Salt rivers On this vast area is an an nuaI rainfall of more than twelve inches. Think of it, equal to 25,0OO square miles of water four feet deep; enough to sup port millions of people in agriculture alone This water must be impounded and made to serve purpose, other than as now, rushing head,long to the sea, making only wreck and ruin on it's way There is much to do in Arizona. Its re- sources of soil and mines are boundless Ten million acres of virgin soil await the coming ot the homeless.
 The capitalist and the artisan can here find fruitful field and sure reward. The little work done by hardy pioneers, to whom all honor, but points the way to d. brilliant future to be developed with coming years. Then will the mountains quiver under the miners blast, while the smoke of the furnace floats over the valley. Canals, like ribbons of silver will distribute the life.giving water over the plains, where focks and herds ram ble in green pastures. Orchards and gardens will dot the landscape. Men can find profitable employment, while wo- men and children add joy to the scene.- A J. Sh twell Mining Engineer, in Den- yer Record

The following descriptive letter from MT. A. J Shotwell, the well-known min' ing man of Colorado, will be read with interest:
 You ask my impressions of Arizona. In reply, will say that for the past five years I have spent a portion of each seeing Arizona, not from the window of a Pullman car, but from the less lux urious blackboard; on the highways and by-ways; having by this means traversed the country in divers direction, from the White Hills on the northwest to the Mexican border on the south 1; making total of more than 2,000 miles overland, camping where night overlook me; visiting some of the old mining camps, seeing many things ot great in, terest. only locally known.
 Having thus made known the means by which I arrive at my conclusions, l scarcely know how to arrange and pnt in shape my observations and can only generaIize, and then briefly in the space at my disposal.
 In all my wanderiDgs I have never made more enjoyable journeys than those made on the great plains and through the wonderful mountains of Arizona. Plains rich Tn soil as the valley of the Nile and covered with a most Tn, teresting growth of shrubs and fl h)wering plants. Mountains of surpassing gran deur; housing wealth untold in iron, copper, silver and gold, with lime and marble and every shade and texture of stone suited for modern building. 1 have seen, lying dormant and untouched, ores enough to make kingdom rich.
 believe that I can locate at least five mining and milling operations of the magnitude of the Homestake company, in the Black Hills, may be duplicated. 1 have visited section where for miles the mountains are rib 1ed with gold bear ing quartz, the adj scent plains are liter ally paved with quartz carried down by the annual floods; there is ore in sight, not by the thousands, but by the mill ions of tons. You may start at the bor der of the great pine forest. 100 miles east of Prescott and travel west, bearing little south until you cross the Colo. rado river, thirty miles north of Yuma and you will have followed great gold belt fifteen to thirty miles wide and 300 miles long, in Arizona.
 Within these lines you will find the Vulture, Harqua Halla, Congress and the old workings of the Hassayamps, with the noted mines of Prescott, the Little Jessie at ChapereIi, the Grown King and many others too numerous to mention.
 This is region unsurpassed in mineral wealth and is less known today in Amer ica than the gold fields of Africa. So far I have made only a beginning. The great deposits of copper and silver near Signal, the gold mines of Santa Nara, the wealth of the Cerbat mountains, the White Hills and river range in Mohave county, with the Hualpai and Music mountains to the east and the gold basin on the north, each would fill pages

With the advance in wheat values
and the consequent rise in the prices of
flour and bread. there comes into view
the nntagonisms Of interest that have
prevented, and always will prevent, com
plete cooperation with those who pro-
duce the material of bread and those
who consume it. The farmer wants to
get the most possible for his wheat, and
the bread eater wishes to get it at the
least cost. Those os us who believe that
these, and all other similarly opposing
interests, are best when leftal0ne, know
ing that out of their free play will come
the general equation, do not now feel
under any responsibility to explain con-
ditions that those do who try to keep
both producer and consumer constant
in the faith that each is aided by legis-
lative interference with the natural law
of supply and demand. In the present
condition Of stationary wages and ris-
ing cost of food those who hold the faith
paternal feel under obligation to mollify
those who are getting no benefit from If.
So we have the Pioneer Press saying
that wheat has reached a point dan
gerously near that at which millions of
people cease buying wheat flour and
substitute some other article of food"
We have the Minneapolis Tribune in
forming its readers that "the use of
wheat -four can be economical to a
greater extent" aud that excellent
bread or mush can be made from corn
meal. and larger use of vegetables can
minimize the consumption Of white
bread" In fact, these substitutlOns
''can be made to certain extent with
much advantage to the health OF the
family" Consolatory as this will be to
the wage earners, who stand wondering
where prosperity has struck them in
this rise of bread prices, it must be also
soothing to their farmer readers to see
the consumers OF their wheat thus adj
vised to bring down the price by eating
corn mush and vegetables. When the
price Of woolen clothing begins to feel
the effect of increased taxes, we Will
have these same CONSIDERS informing
their readers who raise no wool that the
use Of woolen clothes can be greatly
economlzed by the use Of cotton cloths
and that the substitution will be cn ad-
vantage to the health of their families.

"The South Dakota veterans to the

headquarters, 2O5 Elliott Square, last
Wednesday night and spent the evening
hours listening to interesting war tales
told by members of their delegation.

They made an appearance as fine as
any Of the delegations that marched in
the parade. When they dispersed, after
passing the presidents reviewing stand
and receiving hearty ovation from the
spectators on the stand. they were be-
sieged by the people at the end of the
line march. Everybody wanted one Of

The Republican Press is up to its old
tricks again OF claiming everything in
sight-aud getting what it can. Not
many OF the organs have the gall to
nake the specific claim that the rise in
the price Of food products is due to Re-
publican measures In the faco of the dec
laration all through the last campaign
that the price Of bsth silver and wheat
was governed entirely by thu law of
supply and demand. Most Of them con-

In reply to an article en- over pr0duc-
tion OF the dairy industry, Minnesota
paper Gays that in 1850 the United
States contained population Of twenty
three million people, and there were
6,3S5 ,094 cows, and in 1880 with poDu-
lation in this country Of fifty million
souls: there were only 12,443,120 cows,
and even i'll 1886, with population of
over seventy millions Of people, the mum
ber of cows were less than fifteen mill
ion, which shows how much faster our
population increases than are the dairy
Interests, besides in 1850 only twenty
people out Of every hundred of our popu-
lation live,i in towns and csties, while
now the figure is twice that, ard this
fact largely increases the demand for
dairy products. There is strip Of
country extending from the ATLANTIC
ocean to the Rocky Mountains, within
which Is made nearly all we know as
dairy products. 1t takes in the states Of
Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Nebraska, South Dakota and New York.
Outside OF this strip Of territory it seems
to bs impossible to produce either butter
or cheese at n profit. Even New Eng.
land consumes more butter than she
produces. And when butter can be ex
ported 10 Europe at reasonable low
price. there is always a market for i
there. For these reasons the profits o
the dairymcn in the dairy country
seems to he assured.
