Besides the openings for labor and capital here mentioned, there are many others growing out of the conditions and sur- roundings of life in a new and progressive country, which are continually presenting themselves. A man with energy and industry can always find something to turn his hand to, and those seeking investment will find no safer or better oppor- tunities in the west. The vast forests in the eastern part of the Territory, which railroads will soon penetrate, are mines of wealth to those who have the capital to engage in the many enterprises soon to be presented here. There are vast deposits of iron ore in the Territory, which will yet become valuable, and with the steadily increasing demand for the manufactured product on the coast, the day is not far distant when the raw material can be profitably worked here.
To enumerate all the advantages which Arizona offers for the investment of capital, or the inducements it holds out for immi-

gration, would occupy more space than can be given in a pub- lication of this nature. Suffice it to say that in the leading branches of industry-mining, farming and grazing-there are opportunities for industrious, energetic and active men, which they will look for in vain elsewhere.
But the man who comes to Arizona from the East must be prepared to meet different conditions from those he has been accustomed to in his old home. He must come prepared to turn his hand, if necessary, to anything that offers ; but if he has the grit and the determination to win, he is bound to succeed. Should he come poor in purse he need not long remain so, and he will find in no part of the United States a more generous reward for his labor, or an easier road to fortune.
A LOOK AHEAD.
The Past and the Future -- All the Elements of Prosperity here-A Land for Happy Ilomes-Arizona's Future, Etc.
HUS far our chronicle." Our pleasant task is fin- ished, and there remains but to make our bow and retire. In the preceding pages, necessarily brief, we have endeavored to give the reader a fair and impartial de- scription of Arizona Territory as it is to-day. No attempt has been made at coloring, everything like exaggeration has been carefully avoided, and a plain and simple statement of actual facts set forth. We have shown the opportunities which the country presents to the immigrant and the capitalist ; we have . shown its many grand resources, now lying dormant, and only awaiting the magic touch of capital, skill and industry. We have given a glimpse of its dim and misty past, and before parting, may be pardoned if we cast a glance ahead and catch a beam from the sun of its prosperity, already beginning to flash above the horizon.
Arizona has all the natural resources which build up prosper- ous 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-stones of prosperity in every age, and in all nations. Few countries are so blessed as to possess all three, and those so favored by Nature have reached the highest pinnacle of power and prosperity.
Arizona contains all these sources of wealth ; she has rich mines, fertile farming lands and extensive cattle-ranges. She has a 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 thus far man has done but little. Like the first American settlers of California, the pioneers of Arizona enter- tained the idea that the country was unfit for the home of a white man. They came here to dig and delve after the buried treasures 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, productiveness and magni- ficent climate of the valleys of the Gila and the Salt rivers have been understood and appreciated, or any attempt made to build permanent homes therein. Yet these valleys have all the

gifts of a most favored clime, and under the hand of cultivation will yet become gardens of beauty and fruitfulness. As pleas- ant homes can be established there 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 settled communities.
As we have seen, Arizona was the home of a vast population in the past; there is no good reason why she should not support as many in the future. With all the aids and appliances of a new and more perfect civilization, the latent resources of the country will be more thoroughly developed. Where the pre- historic man followed, in a crude way, agricultural pursuits, and depended mainly upon the products 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 flocks and herds. He will erect manufactories, build railroads, 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 flowers, and furnished with all the luxuries of modern civilization, will beautify the plain; lowing herds will cover hill and dale; the music of the quartz-mill will awaken the echoes in mountain and glen, and a happy, prosperous and progressive people will dwell beneath these sunny skies.
Railroads are being built or projected through all parts of the Territory; population is following in the wake of the iron steed, and capital is beginning to appreciate the many opportunities which the country offers for investment. Peace and security reign throughout the land; the war-whoop of the savage is heard no more, and the domain over which for centuries he was the absolute lord and master, will soon know him no more.
The elements of power and prosperity are here, and it requires but the skill and industry of man to fashion from them one of the richest and most prosperous States in the American Union. The great natural resources of the country have long remained un- known and unnoticed; isolation and savagery have long stood in the way and barred the path of its advancement. But both are being swept aside by the onward march of enterprise and industry. The dawn of a newer and more perfect civilization for Arizona has already been ushered in. On the ruins of a past age and an unknown race there rises a structure of social, material and intellectual strength, perfect in all its proportions.
.
To the man of means seeking safe and profitable investments, there is no region of the west that offers so many advantages. Mining, cattle-raising, manufacturing and many other branches of industry, invite investment and guarantee large returns. No mining country on the continent has made better returns for the outlay than Arizona, and there is no richer or safer field for the mining man. To the immigrant desirous of making a home

THE RESOURCES OF ARIZONA.
in the west, we say, come to Arizona; cast your lot with its liberal, 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 pioneers, and their lonely graves, on hill, plain and mountain side, silently attest the sacrifice made to wrest this rich domain from the grasp of the murderous savage. For many a long and dreary year his shadow fell across the land, obscuring the sun of its progress and prosperity. Under this dark cloud murder and robbery held high carnival, life and property were at the mercy of a band of red fiends, who made of the country a perfect Pandemonium. It seemed as if the flickering light of civilization would be quenched in blood, and the country aban- doned to savagery. But against all obstacles the undaunted pioneer bravely battled. The Apache was subdued, and the country redeemed from his barbarous sway; the barriers of isolation have been cast aside; the iron rail has drawn the Territory into closer intercourse with her sister States and Territories, and Arizona has entered on the high road that leads to power and prosperity.
The past is but the memory of some horrid nightmare ; the future is bright with the halo of promise. No Territory in the United States is endowed with grander gifts, and there is no region on the continent where man can make a happier home, and more thoroughly enjoy the many blessings which generous Nature has showered on this favored land. With wealth beyond computation in her vast mineral beds, with the finest grazing grounds in all North America, and with immense stretches of arable lands, unsurpassed for richness by any on the Pacific coast, the country has all the resources to build up a great State. With a climate among the healthiest of any on the globe, and with all this great natural wealth, it is not unreason- able to believe that the country will yet be the home of a large population.
The building of the network of railroads, already projected, throughout the Territory, and the influx of immigration, will reclaim many a valley now given over to solitude, and many a vast plain, now a desolate waste, will be covered by cattle and sheep. Mills and reduction works will spring up in camps where now there is no sign of life; prosperous towns will spring into existence on mountain and plain ; the shriek of the locomotive will be heard in every town and mining camp; the smoke from many a manufacturing enterprise will float over hill and plain, and the State of Arizona, populous, prosperous and happy, will add another star to the flag of the Union. This is not an overdrawn picture of what this Territory is to be, and within a few years.
275
A LOOK AHEAD.
There is no region that holds out more flattering inducements to the immigrant, there is none where the opportunities are so favorable for making a home and securing a competency. Come to a land whose sunny skies and perfect climate make life worth living for, and where the mental and physical traits reach their highest development. Come while the openings for the exercise of your skill and industry are so many, and the chances for better- ing your condition so much greater than in older communities.
Come to a new land and take a fresh start in the race of life. The course is open to all, and if you have health, strength and industry you are sure to win a prize. You are offered a gener- ous welcome, and will find a free-hearted and open-handed peo- ple ready to give you a helping hand. Come to a country that has a future bright as its own cloudless skies, blessed with every gift conducive to the welfare of man, and which possesses every element to build up a powerful and prosperous commonwealth ; a land whose matchless wealth will yet make it one of the brightest gems in Columbia's diadem.

For Machinery men, Manufacturers, Importers and Wholesale Dealers, Ari- zona opens a new and promising field. Two transcontinental railroad lines-the Southern Pacific and the Atlantic and Pacific-traverse the Territory. The former of which passes through Tucson. The N. M. and A. R. R., which is con- nected with the Sonora Limited, unites our city with the Gulf of California at Guaymas, and Hermosillo, Magdalena and other important points in Sonora, Mexico. The Tucson & Globe Narrow-Gauge railroad is being constructed, which when completed will make Tucson the trade center of all southeastern Arizona.
Stock industry is becoming one of the leading industries on account of the vast plains of everlasting nutritious grasses upon which cattle thrive during the entire year. Agriculture is also attracting much interest, and thousands of acres of land are being reclaimed for farming purposes, yielding large profits to the husbandman. There are yet millions of acres of fine agricultural land unclaimed, and over three-fourths of the grain consumption of the Territory is imported from foreign markets at large cost, which argues the great profit in the farming industry. The STAR will continue to give full and reliable data of the stock, farming and mining interests of both Arizona, New Mexico, and Sonora, Mexico. Eastern cities are competing with San Francisco for the trade of this southern El Dorado. Population has doubled within the last year. The bullion output has been over $12,000,000 for 1882.
All kinds of new industries have sprung up. Tucson has over 10,000 inhabi- tants-Arizona over 80,000. This prosperous population opens a great market to producers. To reach this trade

No other Furnace can compare with them for durability and in capacity for uninterrupted work. More than one hundred and fifty of them are now running in the various mining districts of the United States, as also in many foreign countries, giving results never before obtained as regards continuous running, economy of fuel, grade and quality of bullion produced.
From a large number of favorable notices received,
we submit the following:
THE PACIFIC WATER JACKET SMELTERS.
" The vast mineral deposits of smelting ore now being developed in all partsof Arizona has created a large demand for the most approved means of reduction. The Water Jacket Smelt- ers for both Lead and Copper ores made by the Pacific Iron Works, Rankin, Brayton & Co., of San Francis , seem to have met all requirements in this way, and have so far been univer- sally succe .. al in working every class of ores found in this Territory. All our most enterpris- ing companies are using them in preference to any other make, and so far as we can learn, with the most satisfactory results. We recall no instances in which anything like a failure has been made with these smelters, while many others have wrecked the fortunes of those who have put their trust in them
" These Smelters unquestionably embrace the most perfect mechanical appliances now known for the treatment of all classes of smelting ores, and their general adoption has greatly stimulated mining development, and contributed much to the material advancement of this interest in all the mining States and Territories."-Arizona Citizen.
COPPER SMELTING-REMARKABLE RESULTS.
A correspondent of the Boston Herald, writing from Bisbee, Arizona, says : " The Copper Queeu Company, with the Rankin & Brayton Pacific Copper Smelters, can handle ores carry- ing not more than 5 per cent. with a profit, even with coke costing $37 per ton, and heavy transportation charges on bullion. This gives some indication of the value and productive- ness of the many copper mines in all parts of the country now operated with this system of reduction, the most of which will run from 12 per cent. to 30 per cent. It is evident from this that even a large decline in the price of copper would not seriously impair the margin of the copper producers of our Western mining States and Territories."
