county Is centrally located Tn ArlZo- na Territory. It is bounded on the north and east by Yavapai county, on the west by Yuma and on the south by Pima and Pinal counties.
 FIRST SETTLEMENT.
 It was first settled about ten years ago; pioneers being attracted thither by the large extent and sur passing richness of the arabic lands of the Salt River Valley. The richness of the soil had already been shown in the little cultivated spots that had been improved by inc Pima and Maricopa Indians. From the last named tribe the county de Tives its name.
 IRRIGATION.
 Of course, all its farming depends upon irrigation, and for this, Salt river furnishes the water supply. This river carries the largest volume of water of any stream within the Territory, being excelled in this only by the Colorado, which marks Arizona's western boundary. Wi;h a propor system of accquais, there is abundance of water to irrigate the entire valley.
 FARMING AREA.
 The arable land in the valley can only be approximated, as much of it is not yet surveyed. The val ley proper lies in the form of tri- angle, its base being northeasterly' and its point the place of junction of the Agua Fria creek with the Gila river. The waters of the Salt river can, however, be carried across the Agua Fria and a large part of the land between that dry stream and the IasSayampa creek be irri- gated. Some of the ditches now in course of construction are intended to be continued even beyond the Agua Fria- From Cailey's rancho. which k the farthcst up the river in the settlement, to where the forty mile limit of the railroad graut crosses the Agua Fril, the distance is about forty mil g, as by last map of Arizona (Hinton's). Such a line constitutes the base of the triangle We mention. From thence to the mouth of the Agna Fria the distance is about fifty miles. Following the Salt river and Gila from Carley's rancho to the mouth of the Agua Fria we have another line of about fifty miles, Such boundary only gives us that portion of the valley lying west of the Salt river. while its eastern portion is nearly, if not quite, as extensive. Extensive ruins and the remains of ancient aceuuias. which can be traced for many miles. go to show that all this land has once been under cultivation, and should artcsian water be found, as no doubt it will not only this vast area, but large bodies of land lying contiguous thereto can be made to yield largely in all the produc tions of the temperate zone and
