THE UPPER CHA.

All who live in the Gila valley, near old
 Camp Goodwin and at Pueblo Viejo, are
 enthusiastic in their accounts of the rich. ness of the soil and the ease with which a man may make farm. N. H. Clantn n gave us these items last week but after Oul paper was filled. About twelve months ago he moved to point near old Camp Goodwin and about l60 miles north of east of Tucson, and within Pima county. The place is now called Clantonville. During the year he has been there, himself and three sons have cut ditch from the Gila river; planted l2O acres with wheat, corn, barley and all kinds of vegetables; and from nothing of consequence to start with, ', now has a fine farm and plenty about him. All his crops have grown nicely and some of them unusually large. Portions of his high with two large ears on stalk. It was so nearly matured two weeks ago that scarcely an ear could be obtained soft enough for table use. He reports grass plentiful and from five to six feet in night The cattle are fat and everything is in a fine condition. All parties east or west who desire a very fine place to make a good home easily and cheaply cannot do better than to go into the Gila valley. Land is abundant at government price, and the public surveys will be extended there during the present year. Any one desiring more detailed information can get it by addressing N. H. Clanton, Camp Grant, Arizona.
 Last year, we. .gave MT. Clauton quart of white Winter rye, which the Commits sioner of Agriculture had forwarded to Hon. R. c. Mccormick. He sowed it and it grew surprisingly. Fully one half was destroyed by the breaking of a ditch, yet he gathered one and half bushels of beautiful rye. We lately gave him a few sacks of Winter wheat forwarded, as stat ed in THE CITIZEN last week, from the Department of Agriculture. The best varieties may soon be had in abundance by carefully cultivating the seed received from Washington. The Agricultural De- partment distributes only the choicest kinds. A few sacks are still at the Terri- torial Secretary's office.

Frightening.

The prospects for all kinds of local < business is growing brighter every Hweek. Strangers of intelligence and |smeans are coming and going with busi- Fhess purposes hereabouts-some interest lsed in stock. some in mines, some in agri- eulture, and some just now in a railway. Merchants are improving their business splaces and enlarging their stocks. Pro- fessional men are increasing in num- Der and public schools are prospering. Miners are at work, with encouraging developments, in Sacaton, Silver Noun tain, Montezuma, Clifton, md other min inG districts, and the Sonora Company will, in a few months, have a hundred or more men at work on its property. After years of talk and some legislation on the subject of artesian wells, the Sonora Company will soon sink one. It will also introduce many improvements and make a section of the country alive with in dustry, which has been almost as quiet as tomb for many years. The hallway busi- ness is taking better shape and it is prob able that our first iron horses will come from Guaymas instead of San Diego or Marshall. The regular and enthusiastic and often unsatisfactory struggles for government contracts, will soon be over shadowed and made insignificant in com parison to those excited by the larger and more permanent interests of mining, stockgrowing, agriculture, railways, tele graphs, etc.
