PREFACE.

  The compiler presents this work to the public with a feeling of confidence
that a perusal of its pages will convince his patrons, and others interested in
its contents, that no efforts have been spared to make it complete and reliable.
In an entirely new field, such as is embraced in this volume, there are
difficulties to contend with, not encountered in older portions of the Union.
Among others, the want of reliable sources from which to obtain information
needed, particularly in isolated and sparsely-settled sections, and also the
indifference manifested by some to furnish information applied for; which, in
view of the great benefit works of this character are to new countries, by
making known to the world their resources, and thereby accelerating immigration,
ought to be given with alacrity. With proper efforts, however, these obstacles
can, to a certain extent, be overcome; and the compiler believes that he haB so
far succeeded as to be able to present a work which, for completeness and
accuracy, will compare favorably with those of a similar character published in
other sections of the Union.

  In conclusion, he would express his obligations to all who assisted him while
engaged in collecting the necessary data and compiling the work: especially to
Major Ben C. Truman, for the use of valuable information gathered during his
travels in Arizona, and other courtesies extended; to the editors of the various
journals throughout the Territory, for many favors and the interest manifested
by them in the success of the enterprise; and to Myron Angel, Esq., of San
Francisco, for important contributions. His thanks are also due to the numerous
patrons of the work, for their liberal support; to John Wasson, Esq.,
Surveyor-General, and C. P. Dake, Esq., U. S. Marshal, for official data; and to
Messrs. Bacon & Co., the printers of the volume, for its neat typographical
appearance.
