ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social anl industrial de- veiopment. 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 a new and enel 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 siugly, is now commanding for her full share of atten tion and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up fol the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. Ther' is a scramble for franchises Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest arr falling to moderate figures. Nothing mor surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lend rs than this. Arizona has reached that climactice 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 an then down, the clouds of despondenc have suddenly rolled away, and sunhurs of energiziug hope has thrilled the droor ing spirits of the people to greater an braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsidenc of the great Tombstone boom and the con pletion of two transcontinental lines ( railroad across her territory-Arizona ha rather dropped out of public attention but in that time she has been quietly aC cumulating fund of substantial wealt and a force Of moral character whi ; qualify her now to rise ur and take he destiny in her own hands.
 The population of Arizona is Mexican This is a mistake of great importance fro' the moral point of view. There is but on considerable center of Mexican pop1latio in the territory, the city of Tucson, an even there it is not by any means at pre- ent the predominating element It thin it is certain that arizona has not to-da nearly so large Mexican population g Colorado and not above One-tenth as muc as New Mexico ."Fitz- Mac," in Denvt News.

white man first set foot on what IS now Yuma County in l77l. It ls the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter ritory. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few years eX- pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Call fornia catches of Arizona is that Of the picturesoue town of Yuma, which IS snugly situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills. upon whose crests and sides the modern homes of our superior civilization are crowding the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway ,rizona. the new empire of the West, upon ubose undeyeloped riches the eyes ot the nopntrv are at present turned, and as such,
 is bcund to grow and prosper with fapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographl- eal position we find that she is the center of country whose agricultural possib'll- ties are practically unlimited, being sur ~ounded by a soil the fertility of which ,xceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and 5anting oaly water to become paradise oi bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious Suid have annually gone to waste al Yuma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place aGd many enterprises arc on foot to supply the life-giving waters O she yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

April. The same reports show the highest and lowest temperatures, averaged for eight years, at the same place, as follows: For November 7S11a degrees and 42 degrees, December 7311a degrees and 361a degrees, January 6511l degrees and g degrees, Feb ruary 7l% degrees and 351a de rees, March Sl 1& degrees and II degrees and April S611 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 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 tC me about the same in quality as the air on the Nile between Assouan and Wady Halfa, but somewhat cooler.

extinct oceans. The great Colorado desert was once an inland sea, cut off centuries and perhaps ages ago from the main ocean, leav- ing it's waters to evaporate in thls intense heat. Throushout all the country border ing the desert, including this section, llch mines are being constantly discovered, and some of recent location are already produc- inr 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 culminate as early as the coming fall in an irroad of much capital Experts are arriving every week and mines are being bonded at more than heavy prices. 1t seems wonderful to believe that all this mln- eral wealth has been lying at our very doors for so many years without taker, but tine tendency of prospectors is to go lor.g dis tance off into strange lands rather than to seek for mines in a county as old as Yuma County and so 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 III its mountains its mineral secrets are still in effect secrets, fol thousands upon thousands might be wander ing through the rock-ribbed fastnesses o our mountain ranges and their presence bt almost unknown, so vast is the extent O. country
 Recent rich discoveries of gold deposits particularly in lodges, have given grea impetus to mining throughout the county.
 New locations are being constantly made and all show well upon the surface. The L Fortuna mine, recently put in operation has 2)-stamp mill running night and day and the production of gold averages $75,OO per month. This mine is situated about 3 miles southwest of the village of Yuma.
 Rich gold discoveries have also been mad in Castle Dome, Harqua Hala. Centennial Palomas, Pot Holes, and other mining ais tricts, and, although the mining or lCok i the county was never better, still I-iost c the silver and lead mines are idle, owin to the low value of these metals.

VALLEYS OF THE COLORADO AND
CHA.

In the valleys of the Col,rado and the Gila rivers there is roem fol thousands. It is not too much to say that nowhere within the limits of this broad Onion can be found more desirable region for the making of a home. No laborious clearing of the land is req aired; it lies almost ready for the blow. 1 Trees and shrubbtry have so rapid growth 1 that within eighteen months the immig ant can surround his abode with attract;C IS which would require years to mature in less favored climates. Fruits ripen and are ready for market full month before the California products. The bright sunshine makes life luxury, and the pure dry atmos- phere brings health to all wb2 inhale it. For the establishment of colonies, such as are made in southern California, Arizona pre- sents unrivaled opportunities Thousands of acres now pro6tless can be made produc- tive by the construction of irrigatiug 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 fal short of doing justice in thls wonderful bit of country. Pineapples, dates, almonds and waluuts will do well Strawberries, rasp- berries, blackberries, GU rants, gocseberiies and all varieties of small fruits can be suc. cessfully cultivated. Indeed. Yuma County is not cnly the natural home of the citrus and semitr0pical fruits, as almost every fruit, nut. plant, grain, grass, or vegetable which can be produced in either tropic oI temperate zones will thrive in the rich and fertile soils.
 With the bright prospects ahead of the town of YH.na and Yuma County there can be no better investment for capital seeKing large and renumerative returns than is af- fordcd here. With matchless climate, where all forms of disease known to the damp aud 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 ana cool and balmy nights are one long-con- tinucd poem of happiness and delight, we can offer to capitalists an ideal field for in . ves.neat and to home seekers a veritable paradise n which to se.tle

Farms in Northern Wisconsin

are AS good, if not better than
farms in any state of the Union.
There is no reason why the in
tending settler shoulp go to dis
tant States IN order to secure a
good location. Northern Wis
consin is rapidly developing, but
there are still thousands of acres
of fine hardwood farming lands
open up to the settler, which can
be obtained unreasonable figures
and upon easy terms. The soil
is of the best, good roads are be-
ing put in, and school houses
rapidly building.
The immense undeve1oped re-
sources in the shape of rich de-
posits of iron ore, clay, kaolin
AMI mari, as we'll as large tracts
OF hardwood timber, offer extra

Moonshiners in Oneida GO.

A special dispatch from Rhine
lander, to the Evening Wiscon-
sin says: Recent developments
60 to show that Oneida county
is infested with a gang Of profess
sional moonshiners. Last week
a complete disti'l;ng outfit was
discovered by Matt Stapleton,
on land recently owned bv him
about three miles east Of Mont
co, north of a road once laid out
between the village and Crandoa
but which has not been Travelled
much, in fact, not during the
past ten years. The spot is said
to be an ideal onefor the purpose
with excellent opportunities to
spirit the liquor to market, the
scele of operations being i'll The
shape of a lake, where they could
easily get the corn juice to fow-
ing.
The outfit was discovered by
the foreman of Devereux & Small
while looking over the land pre-
paratory to beginning logging
operations. Quite recently the
land was sold to Woodruff &
Mcguire and it is quite evident
that the news of the transfer
reached the ears of the offenders
of the law. They were no doubt
aware of the fact that the land
was purchased for logging pur-
poses and appreciated the fact
that unless they made a quick
departure their operations would
be detected and they compelled
to face a serious charge.
The parties, in making their
rapid exit, left the entire outfit
behind, which consisted of a six
tv-gallon boiler, connected With
pipes to a large vat, III fact all
the necess airy paraphernalia to
distlll liquor was found, all Of
which is now at Devereux &
Small's camp near Monico.
Mr. Stapleton visited Monico
soon after the discovery was
made and was shown the outfit,
which he says bears evidence Of
having been used recently.
