The Arizona sentinel., 1899-07-01

April. The same reports show the highest and lowest temperatures, averaged tor eight years, at the same place, as follows: For November 7S1a degrees and 42 degrees, December 73% degrees and 36H degrees, January 65H degrees and 32 degrees, Feb ruary 7lH degrees and 35H de rees' March SIH degrees and Al 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.
 The atmosphere is singularly clear, tonic and dry. 1 have never seen 1t clearer amyw 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 in the parts of Morocco Algiers or Tunis usually visited, and drlel than any part of the Valley of the Nile north of the First Cataract. 1t seems tC me about the same in quality as the air or the Nile between Assouan and Wady Halfa, but somewhat cooler.
 ARIZONA.
 Arizona stands at the threshold of q era of wonderful social and industrial de velopment. There can't be doubt abou the fact. The dawn for which she ha waited so long is breaking at last. Ther is every promise of day of great pro: perity and permanent upbuilding just be fore her. The impulse of a new and enel gizing hope is visible everywhere anon her people, while the cumulative effect many things, which made but small in pression as they transpired singly, is no' commanding for her full share of alter tion and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up fC the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. Thel is a scramble for franchises. Nothing mol surely indicates great industrial awakel ing than this The rates of interest al falling to moderate figures. Nothing mo surely indicates confidence and competitic among the money lend IS than this. Arizona has reached that climactic
 period which every western state has e
 perienced sometime in its history whe after long and weary struggle and doub with each side of the balance first up al then down, the clouds of despondenC
 have suddenly rolled away, and sunbur
 of energizing hope has thrilled the droo
 ing spirits of the people to greater al
 braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subslden of the great Tombstone boom and the COT pletion of two transcontinental lines railroad across her territorS-Arlzona h
 rather dropped out of public attentio but in that time she has been quietly a } cumulating fund of substantial veal } and a force of moral character whit qualify her now to rise up and take h
 destiny in her own hands.
 The population of Arizona is Mexica 3 This is mistake of great importance fro . the moral point of view. There is but o considerable center of Mexican populati'
 in the territory, the city of Tucson, al even there it is not by any means at pre- , ent the predominating element. It thil s it is certain that Arizona has not to-di
 nearly so large Mexican population
 Colorado and not above one-tenth as mu ] as New Mexico. >"Fitz- Mac," in Deny l News
