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 a 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 ot many things, which made but small i'm 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 a 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 lend, rs chan this.
 Arizona has reachei that cIimacticel period which every western state has ex perienced sometime in it's history when. after long aud 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 sunhurst of energiziug hope has thrilled the droop ing spirits of the people to greater anc ! braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence 1 Of the great Tombstone boom and the com pletion of two transcontinental lines 0. railroad across her territory has rather dropped out of public attention hut in that time she has been quietly ac

 Whitelaw Reid. owner ald editor of the New York Tribune, who has spent the last two winters in A1,zona for the benefit Of his health, writes cntcr5ainiugIy and in structively concerning that part of the country. Mr. Reid says: So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as place for winter residence, and there appears to be such a deartb of pre- else Information among many who are yitally interested, that 1t seems almost q public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, a 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 ne to take exercise in the open air at some time or ether during the day. Of course there were a good many days which a weather observer wdrl' 7- scribe as "cloudy," and . "showery; but during ".e lfrom No, ember 1895, ..

Throughout all the country border ing the desert. including this 7ec6ion, lich mines are being constantly discovered, and some of recent location are already produc- l ing immense profits. In the neighborhood of Yuma, claims exceedingly rich on the surface are daily being located, and all signs portend great mining boom for this county which will eliminate 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 so many years without @ taker, but the tendency of prospectors is to go long dis tance off into strange lands rather than to seek for mines in a county as old as Yuma County and SC 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 m its mountains its mineral secrets are still in effect secrets, fol ! thousands upon thousands might be wander ! ing through the rocll-ribbed fastnesscs c. cur mountain ranges and their presence be almost unknown, so vast is the extent o country
 Recent rich discoveries of gold deposits particularly in lodges, have given a great impetus to mining throughout the county.
 New locations are being constantly made and all show well upon the surface. The Ls Fortuna mine, recently put in operation has a 2)-stamp mill running night and day and the production of gold averages $75, ,00t per month. This mine is situated about 8 : miles southwest of the village of Yuma.
 Rich gold discoveries have also been made ia Castle Dome, Harqua Hala. Centennial Palomas, Pot Holes, and other miring dis tricts, and, although the mining GU lcok il the county was never better, still lIost O the silver and lead mines are idle, owin: to the low value of these metals.

VALLEYS OF THE COLORADO AND
 CHA,

Tn the valleys of the Col yado and the Gila rivers there is rocm fo, thousands. It is not too much to say that nowhere within the limits of this broad Union can be found more desirable region for the making Of Q home. No laborious clearing of the land is rec aired; it lies almost ready for the blow. Trees and shru5bery have So rapid a growth that within eighteen months the immig ant can surround his abode with attract;lqs which would require years to mature in less -a%yored climates. Fruits riPen and are '1'1y --raa.let a full month before the Oa-''ofhia o''-z.---Ihe bricht sunshine makes life a luxury, and th1-T--~--.lzy atn,os- pLere brings health co all wb5 inhal9 IL. E77 the establishment of colcnjes, such as are made in southern California, Arizona pre- sents uurivalcd opportunities. Thousands of acres now prohtless caD be made produc- tive by the construction of irrigating 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 ofcountry. Pineapples, dates, almonds and valuQts will do well Strawberries, rasp- berries, blackberries, rants, goczeberrios, and all varieties of small fruits can be suc- cesstully cultivated. Indeed. Yuma County is not only the natural home of the citrus and semjtropical fruits, as almost every fruit, mt, plant, grain, grass, or vegetable which ca2 be produced in either tropic of 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 matchless climate, where all forms of disease known to the damp and rigorous regions of the east and north are unknown, where the bright sun shine kisses into bloom and fragrance every form of vegetation, and where the clear days aud cool and balmy nights are one long-con- tinued poem of happiness and delight, we can offer to capitalists an ideal field for in vestment and to home seekers @ veriaable paradise in which to settle.

AIR.

The atmosphere is singularly clear, tonic and dry. 1 have never seen it clearer anywhere in the world. It seems to have about the same bracing and collaborating qualities as the air of the Great Sahara in Northern Africa, or of the deserts about Mount Sinai, in Arabia Petraea. It is much drier than Tn the parts of Morocco, Algiers or Tunis usually visited, and drier 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 Ass6uan and Wady Halia, but somewhat cooler.

 In regard to climate, healthIolness, fer tilitv and produotiveness or soil, f's,li1ies for cultivation. irrigation and abundance or water supply, variety Of resources and ebeap transportation by rail and by water no mart of Arizona can surPass Yum" conntv. which is destined to become one ot richest and most Prosperous counties ln Arizona.
 It lies between 32s OO' and 34' 20' north ati+nde and lI3o z0' and ll4' 40( wcs, ;oDo;t,r,le. It contains 6.488. 32o acres. Ii fsabout as large as the States of Rhode Island. Connecticut and Delaware com bi.ed. or as large as either New Hampshire, Vermont or Massachusetts.
 The western boundary of Yuma County is formed by the Colorado river whIci ze,,ara+es Arizona from California ih. aonntv is bounded on thenorth by William. Fa,k and the Santa Maria riser, whosS waters flow into the Colorado; on the east by the counties of Pima, Maricopa and Yaysnai. and on the south by Sonora Mexico. Its county seat is the town ot Yuma.
 The Colorado river drains the entire Ger ,itorv of Arizona, and every drop ct Wate. which falls on its mountains aud plain- 6nds its way to this mighty river. 1t l- formed by the union of the Green and Grand rivers, fed by the streams which -ise ;n the Rocky Mountains, and the melt ipp suows cause a greater depth Of water in this rivsr In summer than ID winter. thus furnishing the most water at the season when it is most required for the purposes firligation and agriculture.
 .t will be seen that for the entire distance ,opc its western boundary Yuma County poss, .ses the great advantage ot cheai water transportation.
 The Gila river rises III the western part of New Mexico and is fed by numerous streams, among the most prominent oi which are the San Pedro, Agua Fria, Has, savampa and Salt rivers. It flows west through Yuma County and enpties into the Colorado at the town of Yuma.
 vuma county, traversad by these great rivers from its northern to it's southern, and from its eastern to its western boaud' aries. possesses a far greater water supply tban any other county iu the Territory. and far more than can be found in all Cali fernia
 This water is now being diverted fom it. natural channels by means of numerous large irrigaJing canals, and utilized for the purpose of retaining and irrigetng cha immense tracts of lands which lie in this favored country, and which are as fertile as any in the world.
 The Southern Pacific Railroad crosses the Colorado riverat the town of Yuma and runs through the county, following the cenerol course, and at an average distance of about four miles south, Of the Gila river, rendering all the lands susceptible of irri- gation and cultivation, can lind an easy outlet in this way and can be transported 0 fu the markets and centers of population in the East or West.
 Another competing railroad is projected from San Diego, California. to tie town of Yuma, ard thence along the noc.h side of the Gila river Thna Yuma County will nave exceptional railroad advantages.
