47 ARIZONA. We cross the line between New Mexico and Arizona at about eleven o'clock a. m., and find ourselves in a region compared to which all we have thus far passed is considera- bly advanced in civilization. Arizona is a region upon which sunrise of the coming time is just breaking ; a scene ot wide pasture lands, vast mountain ranges filled with ores, lava beds that seem to have scorched a fiery course through the valleys in comparatively modern times, arid wastes, rushing streams, pine f...orests, awful gorges like that of the Grand Canyon, caves, petrified forests, rock-hewn cities ; and all brooded over by the monotony of a vastness that makes the eyes ache and all the senses tired. It is also the residence, time immemorial, of savage tribes whose history is in most cases only recently guessed at, and who dilTer widely from each other in life, disposition and habit. In places like Laguna, soon after leaving Albu- querque, and still in New Mexico, the Pueblos are perched upon a sterile hill, finding sustenance apparently in some mysterious product of nature, while Navajoes and kindred tribes, all enemies to these shepherds and farmers who have gathered in spots that seem to be endeared to them by association, come down from their reservations to the stations and stare at the passing' trains.
