the onward march of enterprise
 and industry. The dawn of newer
 and more perfect civilization for
 Arizona has been ushered in. On
 the ruins of past age and an un-
 known race there has risen a struc-
 ture of social, material and intel
 lectual strength, perfect in all it's
 proportions.
 To the man of means seeking
 safe and profitable investments,
 there is no region of the west that
 offers so many advantages. Min
 ing, cattle raising, manufacturing
 and many other branches of indus
 try, invite investment and guaran-
 tee large returns. No mining coun-
 try on the continent has made bet
 ter returns for the outlay than Ar
 izona, and there is no richer or
 safer fields for the mining man. To
 the immigrant desirous of making
 a home in the west, we say, come to
 Arizona; cast your lot with its lib-
 eral, enterprising, and progressive
 people. enjoy the heritage which its
 future has in store, and pass your
 days in a land where health and
 happiness walk hand in hand with
 progress and prosperity.
 Arizona's past has been a dark
 and a bloody one. Its history is
 written in the crimson tide from , the hearts of its slaughtered pio-
 neers, and the lonely graves on the hills, plains and mountain sides,
 silently attest the sacrifice made to
 wrest this rich domain from the
 grasp of the murderous savage. For
 many long and dreary year his
 shadow fell across the land, obscur-
 ing the sun of its progress and pros perity. Under this dark cloud murder and robbery held high car
 nival. Life and property were at
 the mercy of a band of red fiends, who made the country perfect
 pandemonium. It seemed as if , the fickering light of civilization , would be quenched in blood, and the country abandoned to savagery. But against all obstacles the un daunted pioneer bravely battled.
 The Apache was subdued, and the country redeemed from it's barbor- ous sway; the barriers of isolation
 have been cast aside; the iron rail , has drawn the territory into closer intercourse with her sister states and Arizona has entered on the f. high road that leads to power and 5 prosperity.
 ' The past is but the memory of some horrid nightmare, the future is bright with the halo of promise. No territory is endowed with grand 3 CT gifts, and there is no region on l the continent where man can make . a happier home. and more thor 5 oughly enjoy the blessings which generous nature has showered on this favored land. With wealth l beyond computation in her vast 5 mineral beds, and the finest graz 2 ing grounds in all North America, } and with immense stretches of ta- ble lands, unsurpassed for richness by any on the Pacific coast, the 3 country has all the resources to
 build up great state.
 r The building of the net work oi 3 railroads, already projec d throughout the territory, and the influx of immigration, will reclaim g many a valley now given over to g solitude. Mills and reduction plants !. will spring up in camps where : there is now no sign of life; pros g porous towns will spring into ex- Q istence on mountain and plain 6 the shriek of the locomotive will be ,, heard in every town and mining
 camp; the smoke from many a : manufacturing enterprise will float t over the hill and plain, and the 9 state of Arizona, populous, prosper - ous and happy, will add another I star to the flag of the Union.
