STATISTICAL INFORMATION. 



ON. PATRICK HAMILTON, who, until recently, has filled, 

 with marked ability, the office of Commissioner of Immi- 

 gration, has written in the most fascinating style several 

 works, intended as guides and reference books, containing 

 complete, accurate, and trustworthy information concerning all 

 things which would interest any one who desired to make a home in 

 Arizona. With an experience gained from a long residence in the 

 territory, and by a careful compilation of statistics and consulta- 

 tion of authorities, Mr. Hamilton was enabled to produce a book of 

 singular interest, embracing the history, topography, scenery and 

 geological features ; fauna and flora, counties and towns, climate, 

 mining, timber, coal and agricultural resources of Arizona ; its 

 schools, churches, society, and, in fact, all the information which any 

 person could wish who contemplated a residence in the territory. 



Those who desire to know all about Arizona and its varied 

 resources, will be furnished with Mr. Hamilton's " ARIZONA FOR 

 HOMES" free (postage prepaid), upon application to the Commis- 

 sioner of Immigration, Pho3nix, Arizona.
