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 new and ener- 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.
 1 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 money lenders than this. Arizona has reached that climacticer 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 sunhurst of energiziug hope has thrilled tho droop- ing spirits of the people to greater and 1 braver endeavor than before.
 i For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com pletion of two transcontinental lines of l railroad across her territory has rather dropped out of public attention, | but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulating 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 it is certain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large Mexican population as Colorado and not above one-tenth as much as New Mexico. >"Fitz- Mae" in Denver | News.

 RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.
 In regard to climate, healthfulness, fer sility and productiveness of soil, facilities for cultivation, irrigation and abundance ot water supply, variety Of resources and cheap transportation by rail and by water, no mart of Arizona can surpass Yuma county, which is destined to become one of richest and most prosperous counties in Arizona.
 It lies between 32' OO' and 34' 20' north latitude and llS0 2O' and ll4' 40| west longitude. It contains 6.4SS, 320 acres. It is about as large as the States of Rhode Island, Connecticut and Delaware con- bixed, or as large as either New Hampshire Vermont or Massachusetts.
 The gestern boundary of Yuma County fs formed by the Colorado river, which saparates Arizona from California. The county is bounded on the north by Williams Ferk and the Santa Maria rver, whose waters flow into the Colorado; on the east bv the counties of Pima, Maricora and Eavapai, and on the south by Sonora, Mexico. It's county seat is the town ot Yuma.
 The Colorado river drains the entire ter, ritorv of Arizona, and every drop ct water which falls on it's mountains and plains Fnds its way to this mighty river. 1t IS formed by the union of the Green and Grand rivers, fed by the streams which rise in the Rocky Mountains, and the melt ing snows cause a greater depth of water in this rivsr ID summer than ln winter. thus furnisbing the most water at the season when it is most required for the purposes firiigation and agriculture.
 it will be seen that for the entire distance song its western boundary, Yuma County posse .ses the great advantage Of cheaT water transportation.
 The Gila river rises III the western par' of New Mexico and is fed by numerous streams, among the most prominent oI xbich are the San Pedro, Agua Fria, Has sayampa and Salt rivers. It flows west through Yuma County and emPties into the Colorado at the town of Yuma.
 Yuma county, traversed by these great rivers from its northern to its southern, and from its eastern to it's western bound aries. possesses a far greater water supply Shan any ether county in the Territory and far more than can be found in all Cali sernia
 This water is uos being diverted from its natural channels hy means Of numerous farce irlir2.;ng canals. and utilized for the purposa of retaining and irrig2tipg tho immense tracts of lands which lie iu tAi. favored country, and which are as fertile as any in the world.
 The Southern Iacif, Railroad crosses the Colorado riycraJ the town of Yuma and rms sarough tac cgoatr. following the s,,,sro! course, ana al an average distance ofabcut four miles south. of the Giia river, rendering all the lands susceptible of irri- gat;on and cultivation, can find an easy rnilr, in this way and can be transported oall the markets aa3 canlcrs Of population " the East OF West.
 Auo.lor competing railroad is projected from San Diego, California, to Sic town sf Yrnls. al.b thence along the north side .6 tl.c Gila river. Thus Yuma County will .ylyc exceptional railroad advantages.

Its 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 wint CTS in Alizona for the benefit of his health, writes cntertainingiy and in struotirely concerning that part of the country Nlr. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as a place fer winter residence, and there appears to be such dearth of pre- else information among many who are vitally interested, that it seems almost 6 public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, few facts of personal observation.
 WEATHER.
 During a 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 other during the day. Of course there were a good many days which a weather observer would de- scribe as ''cloudy," and some that were "shovcry; but during these five months (from No' cmber, 1895, to May, lSg6,) there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dur ing the day. Even more than Egypt, any where north of Luxor, Arizona is the laud of sunshine. As to details:
 TEMPERATURE.
 I have seen the thermometer mark g. degrees in the shade on my north piazza in March. On the other hand, we had frosts which killed young orange trees, and there were several nights when thin ice formed. The government reports show mean { temperature for fourteen years at the pres ent territorial capital of 5I{ degrees in November, 5 degrees in Deco.

ACTUAL HUMIDITY |.

This is extremely slight, everywhere in Arizona, as compared with any eastern climate in the United States. The air is driest on the high mesas, remote from snowclad mountains or forests, and in the desert valleys, where no considerable irri- gatiOn has been begun. Wherever irriga- tion is carried on on large scale, the percentage of humidity in the atmosphere must be somewhat increased, although to an eastern visitor it is scarcely perceptible. The same Government observations al ready cited show relative humidity, at Phoenix or Tucson, averaged for weeks, from morning and evening readings, at less than half the usual humidity on dry days in New York. General Greedy, in a pub lication from the Weather Bureau, gave the normal weight of aqueous vapor in the Arizona air at from 11a to 4 grains per cubic foot.

April. The same reports show the highest and lowest temperatures, averaged tor eight years, at the same place, as follows: For November 781a degrees and 42 degrees, December 731a degrees and 36a degrees, January G51l degrees and g degrees, Feb ruary 7l1a degrees and 3514 de rees' March Sl 1a degrees and fl degrees and April SGH degrees and 46 degrees. The nights throughout the winter are apt to be cool enough for open wood fires, and for blankets. Half the time an overcoat Is not needed during the day, but it Is never prudent for stranger to be without one at hand.
The Arizona sentinel., 1898-06-25

The atmosphere is singuIarly clear, tonic and dry. 1 have never seen It clearer anywhere in the world. It seems to have about the same bracing and exhilarating qualities as the air of the Great Sahara in Northern Africa, or of the deserts about Mount Sinai, in Arabia Petraea. It is much dricr than ln the parts of Morocco, Algiers or Tunis usually visited, and drler than any part of the Valley of the Nile north of the First Cataract. It seems to me about the same in quality as the air on the Nile between Assouan and Wady- Halfa, but somewhat cooler.

RAIN

Showers, and indeed heavy rains are liable to occur in every month of the year; but the actual number of rains seems to an eastern visitor strangely small. The average rainfall in Southern Arizona, as shown by the Government observations; sis but s 1I inches per year.

HOW TO REMAIN YOUNG.
Feed the Hard-working Organs of
Your Body With Just What They
Require.

Here are some important truths ex-
pressed by a well known professor of
New York medical college:
All nature ever needs, or ever asks
for, is little help. She becomes over
worked-is it any wonder she needs
help?"
The heart beats night and day and
never stops. The lungs are always
working away like a pair of bellows.
The stomach is constantly occupied; so
are the kidneys and the liver. You
cannot give them a vacation, but you
can help them Immensely. Those great
organs-the kidneys and liyer-are will
ing to work, but they need food and
you can give it to them"
You can easily feed these organs,
and you viii be surprised how much
better you viii feel If you do so. There
is a discovery which is an actual food
for the kidneys. 1t is known to scien-
lists and the world as Warmers Safe
Cure BY all means try it. A little Of
this remarkable medicine taken three
times a day viii produce a most happy
effect. Instead of being tired, tagged
out. Respondent and with little ambi-
ton. you viii grow bright, hopeful and
happy. Women, especially, need good
friend Of this kind, and I know of
scores Of ladies who would not think Of
being without this grand remedy to
helm them when they specially need It

CONCEALED wEAPoNs.
Found In the Cells of County Pris-
oneTS.

Some excitement was caused ABOUT
the county jail yesterday morning by
the discovery of what may have been
al incipient plot Tor some of the prls-
oners to escape.
Actions OF the prisoners during the
past day or two have aroused the suS-
picions of the sheriff and his deputies,
and yesterday morning the cells were
searched. In the cell of John ID. Doug
lass, awaiting trial for murder, was
found q steel drill % inches long ana a
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was quite
rusty, but showed marks of having
been used as Z pinch bar. The bit was
slightly bent. and the rust cracked.
IN the cell OF John Peterson was
found a hollow iron pipe, about half
an inch thick and 30 inches long 1t
had been pried off from the steam neat
ing apparatus Another piece OF IRON
was missing. but could not be found
in any of the cells.
Douglass prOfesSsd entire ignorance
OF the bar being in his cell, but an
other prisoner says Douglass did know
of It. The iron and steel bars would
have been formidable weapons in the
hands Of desperate men, had they
made an attack on the jailer with them.
There are two theories to account for
the presence OF the steel bar in Doug
lass cell. One is that II was carried
to the jail cell in the pocket of some
of the numerous visitors. Another is
that it was pushed through the wire
netting of one of the windows and car
RED inside by one of the prisoners VINO
was out on the corridor. With the
weapons in their possession, the prison
ers could have done deadly execution
on the guards had they been so minded.
Douglass is a skilled blacksmith and
might have used the drill to good eff
feet in getting ont Of the iron cage,
but there is no direct evidence that
they Contemplated any such thing.
Sheriff Belnap. who was on duty as
night watchnap early yesterday morn
ing, frightened away a man who was
crawling about the Jail windows a lit
tie before daylight. AS matter of
precautiOn Douglass and Peterson have
been l1cked in their cells.
