Whitelaw Reid. owner add editor of the New York Tribune, who has spent the last two winters in Aliz0na for the benefit of his health, writes entertainiugly 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 a deartb of pre- else information among many who are vitally interested, that it seems almost a public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, few facts of personal observation.
 WEATHER.
 During a five months residence 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 scribe as cloudy" and some that were "sho8ery; but during these five months ,hom No' ember, 1895, to May, lS96,) there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dur ing the day. Even more than Egypt, any where north of Luxor, Arizona is the laud Jf sunshine. As to details:

 The western boundary of Yuma County a faruied by the Colorado river, which separates Arizona from California. The county is bounded on the north by Williams Esrk and the Santa Maria rlver, whose waters flow into the Colorado; on the east Irv the counties of Pima, Maricopa and Yavapai. and cn the scnth by Sonora, Mexico. It's county seat is the town oi Yama.
 The Colorado river drains the entire ter ritcrv of Arizona, and every drop ot water Nh;eh falls or its mountains and Piains finds it's way to this mighty river 1t IS ep-.ned bv the union of the Green and Grand rivers, fed by the streams which r;se in the Rocky Mountains, and the melt ;,,y snous cause a greater depth ct water in tLig riv T ID summer than ln winter thas ta-nishipg the most water at the season when it IS nost required for the purposes firrigat;on and agriculture.
 IT will be seen that for the entire distance .epe its western boundary, Yuma County posz. ses the great advantage ot cheaI water transportation.
 TLe Gila river rises IL the western par oT New Mexico and is fed by numerous streams, among the most prominent O which are the Sau Pedro, Agua Fria, das x.yampa and Salt rivers. It flows wes' through Yuma County and cmpties into th' Colorado at the town of Yuma.
 Yuma county, trayersed by these great r;vcrs from its northern to its southern and from its eastern to it's western bound aries. possesses far greater water supply than any other county in the Territory and far more than can be found in ell Cali fernia.
 This water is now being diverted from It. uamral channels by means Of numerous targe ivricating canals, and utilized for the nn,-,ose of reclaiining and irrigating the immense tracts of lands which lie in thi favored country, and which arc as fertile ss any in the world.
 The Southern Pacific Railroad crosses th' Colorado river at the town oi Yuma aht rans through the county, following tn Sarsrol course, and at an average distance ef about four miles south, of the Gila river rendering all the lands susceptible of rri y,,tion and cultivation, can ind an easy outlet iii this way and can DC transported oSu the markets and centers o1 population ia the East or West.

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of aH era of wonderful social and industrial de velopment. There can't be doubt abcrt the fact. Ire dawn for which she has waited So long is breaking at last. There is every promise of day of great pros perity and permanent upbuiIding just be- fore her. The impulse of a new and ener- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people, while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small inl- pression as they trapspired siugiy, Is now commanding for her full share of atten- ton 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 a scramble fer 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, IS than this.
 Arizona has reached that cli!aacticer 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 l then down. the clouds of despondencY have suddenly rolled away, and a sunhurst of encrgiaing hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater alld braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com pletiou of two transcontinental lines oi railroad across her territory y-Arizora has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac' curna.atiDg a fund of substantial wealth and a force of moral character which qualify her nov to rise up and take hel destiny in her o"n hands.
 The population Of Arizona is Mexican This is mistake Of great importance fro'. tie moral point of view. There is but one considerable ceuter of Mexican pop1latioc in tas territory, the city of Tucson, and even there it is not by any means at pres ent the predominating element. It think it ;s certain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large Mexican population al Colorado and not above Gne-tenth as rnuci as New Mexico >"Fitz- Mac" in Denver News.
