 and spirited ia hope.
 He states to a reporter that Ari-

 mask which has SeP, u and it's in- dustries in the background, and no matter where ode goes. or who one meets, its mining, agricultural, rAil- road, commercial and social coudi- ! tioas give way tO the old and pisyed out idea that prevailed in the darker day, and ln consequence men and moDey are eager to know aud be en- ! frightened of tLis Co them new land. !

The . same conditions prevail in favor Of Arizona mining elsewhere and ha believes there IS no doubt Whatevag but what Arizona, and especially favapai county, will prosper from DOW ca as lhey never baYe in their history.

 He was asked about the all ab- sOrbing question to Prescott of the maintenance of Fort Whipple, and simply said: "lt never rains but
 what it pours, and that is that the post has been selected for govern uses and IS sgain to be garTisoned. While i'd Washington lass week he was personally informed by var de pSrtment officials, as well as by eth CTS who were working in the cause of this posts rehabilitation, that the appropriation of SJ0.O00 with which to inaugurate the work of rebuild ing and repairing, was available, and a government engineer would ai an early day be on the ground to commence the work. Mir.
