ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of ar
 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 inn pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her a full share of atten- tion 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 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 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 energiziug 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 erritory-Arizona has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- a fund of substantial wealth and a 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 mistake of great importance frorA the moral point of view. There is but one considerable center of Mexican population Tn the territory, the city of Tucson, and even there it Is not by any means at pres 7nt the predOminating element. It think ] 1t IS certain that Arizona has not to-day l nearly so large a Mexican population as i Colorado and not above one-tenth as much | IS New Mexico >"Fitz- Mac," in Denver i News.

Brief Statement of Facts Setting Many Advantages and Inducements offered by County Residence.
The Arizona sentinel., 1898-05-21
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. gatlon has been begun. Wherever irr1ga- tlon 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 all 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 l 11a to grains per cubic foot.

April. The same reports show the highest and lowest temperatures, averaged for eight years, at the same place, as follows: For November 7SH degrees and 42 degrees, December 731a degrees and 36H degrees, January 651a degrees and g degrees, Feb ruary 7lH degrees and 35H de rees. March Sl 1a degrees and fl degrees and April S6H 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.

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

Nhitelaw Reid. owner and editor of the New York Tribune, who has spent the last two winters in AI;zona for the benefit ot 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 dearth of pre- else information among many who are vitaliy interested, that it seems almost 2 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,' D and some that were "sho"ery; but during these five months Cfrom No' ember, 1895, to May, IS96,) there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dDr- ing the day. Even more than Egvpt. any. where north of Luxor, Arizona is the land of sunshine. As to details:
 TEMPERATURE.

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 a mean temperature for fourtee years at the pres snt territorial capital of 573 degrees in November, 5 degrees in December, 49 de grees in January, 54 degrees in February

AIR..

The atmosphere is singularly clear, tonic and dry. 1 have nevsr seen it clearer anyw here 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 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 Assouan and Wady- Halfa, but somew hat cooler.
The Arizona sentinel., 1898-05-21
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, is but S11a inches per year.

Serious Practical Joke.

IRVINGTON, VA, August 6.-(Special)
On Sunday a shark about feet long
disported himself near the shore and
about the wharf at Wharton Grove Camp,
and was a great attraction 10 hundreds
OF people. He was on the flats in such
shallow water that his doisal fin and part
of his back were out of the water He
was not Of the man-eating variety. but
was in quest of crabs and refuse.
William Cornelius. an old gentleman
living near White Stone. fell from his
wagon on Tuesday and dislocated his
shoulder. and at the same time the wheel
passed over his face. cutting his nose
nearly in two. and decorating his entire
face severely. a physician was sent for,
who, after awhile. succeeded in stopping
the hemorrhage. He considers Mr.. Corne-
lius's condition serious.
While a party from lower Middlesex,
aboard Captain Ruark's schooner, were
on the way to Wharton Grove one day
this week, a serious accident occurred by
two young men attempting to play n
practical joke on some young ladies. Miss
Lula Stiff daughter of Joseph Stiff, and
n Miss Spencer, from Upper Middlesex,
were sitting on the hatch over the hold
of the vessel. The young men went below,
and, TO startle the young ladies', raised
the hatch. 1t slipped out Of its joys and
fell in, bringing the two ladies down
with it. Miss Spencer fell on her COM
panion and escaped with only a bruised
face, but Miss Stiff received internal in
turies. from which she may not recover.
on yesterday she was still alive, and was
thought to be slightly improved.
