The Opportunity For Immigrants
 and Capitalists.

Arizona has all the natural re- sources that build up prosperous and powerful states. Since the dawn of time, agriculture, mining and stock raising have been the chief occupations of man. They have been the corner stone of pros perity in every age, and in all na- tions. Few countries are so blessed as to possess all three, and those so favored by nature have reached the highest pinnacle of power and pros perity, says the Prescott Herald.
 Arizona contains all these sources of wealth; she has rich mines, fer tile farming lands, and extensive cattle ranges. She has climate unsurpassed for salubrity, and a soil capable of producing nearly everything grown in the tropic and temperate zones. Generous nature has done everything for this sunny land, but man has done but little. Like the first American settlers of California, the pioneers of Arizona entertained the idea that the coun- try was unfit for the home of a white man. They came here to dig and delve after the buried treas ures in her rugged mountains make their pile," and then hie them away to some other country for a home. It is only within a few years that the fertility, pro- ductiveness and magnificent eli mate have been understood and ap- preciated, or any attempt made to build permanent homes therein. As pleasant homes can be estab- lished here as in any portion of the great west, or the Pacific coast, and man can surround himself with every comfort and luxury found in older lands, or more densely set tied communities.
 As we we'll know Arizona was the home of a vast population in the past, so there is no good reason why she should notsupport as many in the future. With all the aid and appliances of a new and more per feet civilization, the latent resources of the country will be more thor oughly developed. Where the pre- historic man followed, in a crude way, agricultural pursuits, and de- pended mainly upon the product of the soil, the modern occupant will wrench from the rocky hills the treasures so long held in their grasp, and cover mountain, valley and plain with hocks and herds. He will erect factories, build rail- roads, sink artesian wells, excavate . canals and make valley and plain bloom with beauty as in ages past Pleasant homes embowered in groves of living green, adorned with flow CTS, and furnished with all the lux uries of modern civilization will beautify the plain; glowing herds will cover hill and dale; the music of the quartz mill will awaken the echoes in mountain and glen. and happy, prosperous and progles i've people will dwell beneath these sunny skies.
 Railroads are now being built o1 projected through all parts of the country; population is following in the wake of the iron steed, and cap. ital is beginning to appreciate the many opportunities which the country affords for investments Peace and security reign through out the land; the War-whoop of the savage is heard no more, and the domain over which for centuries ht was the absolute lord and master now know him no more.
 The elements of power and pros perity are here, and it requires but the skill and industry of man tc fashion from them one of the rich est and most prosperous states 1T the American union The great natural resources of the country have long remained unknown anC unnoticed; isolation and savagery have lonu ctnnU in the way aDC
