THINKS ARIZONA IS GREAT.

Mr. II. H. Travis, who for over
 thirty years has been living in the
 west, is now visiting his brother in Burlington, N. J. The last twenty years of Mr. Travis life has been
 passed in Arizona, and in speaking of that fact Mr. Travis remarked
 that the people of this country
 haven't an idea of the resources of
 that territory.
 "Why," sad he, "you people
 here in the east can't imagine what
 place Arizona is. Plains, cover- ed with most interesting growth Of Aowery shrubs and plants, rich in soil as the valley of the Nile; mountains of surpass-ng grandeur housing wealth untold of gold, sil-
 yer, copper, lead and iron. You may start at the border of the great pine forests 100 miles east Of Pres cotc and travel west, bearing south until you cross the Colorado river
 below Yuma, and ycu will have followed a gold belt forty or fifty miles wide, 375 miles long in Ari- zona. Within these lines you will fud the United Verde, Congress, Vulture, HarQua Hala. Little jesse. Crovu Kng and others too num- erous to mention This is a region unsurpassed iu mineral wealth and is less known in America han the gold fields of Africa. The great deposits of copper and silver near Signal; the gold mine III Santa Maria; the wealth of the CerbaC mountains, the White Hills aud the River Range jn Mohave county each would fill pages |, set forth their their merits. To the south we have the great King of Arizona and La Fortuna, from which pours a veritable river of gold To the east are the mines of Tucson and and Tombstone that have prodsc- ed their millions. Further to the southeast are the great copper mines of the Copper Queen aC Bis bee. SuIl east are the great gold mines at Pearce. Then to the north east are the Clifton and Moronci copper mines that are the won ders of the mining world. And . northwest are the mines of Globe, the Cid Dominion, Buffalo and Black Warrior, which wealth of. nations embraces the Salt River valley.

While the constitution of the real diamond is known to be pure carbon, the process of producing 1t in size suitable for purposes of jewellery, says the Jeweler, has nos yet been discovered. They have been made in very small size, but with fair prospects of such inn provements in the process in the future as to produce those of real value. Imitation diamonds made from cut glass or quartz, are fre- quently so good as to closely re- semble the genuine.

The striking and important events Of the last year have established the overwhelming value of the THRICE-A- WEEK WORLD to every reader, For an almost nominal sum it has kept it's subscribers informed of the pro- gress Of all our wars and, moreover, has reported them as promptly and fully as if it were a daily. With our interests still extending throughout the world, with our troops operating in the Philippines, and the great pres ident'al campaign, too, at hand, its value IS further increased.
 The motto of the THRICE-A WEEK WORLD is improvement It strives each year to be better than ii was the year before, and public confidence in 1t Is shown by tine fact that 1t now circulates more than twice as many papers every week as any other news paper, not 8 daily, published in America.
