 Mining District.

MT. G. W. Norton has just got back from a two weeks absence in the Santo Domingo Mining District in Sonoita valley on the Arizona side of the Mexican line, where he has been examining the mines, and has crowned the product of his labors with the location of six claims in the Disl trict and contracts have already been let out for their develope. ment. MT. Norton is we'll pleased with the District, and predicts that it will become enc of the leading mining camps in the Ter, ritory in the near future. The formation of the country is gran ite and quartzite, the lodges are quartz, and croppings run from $80, 10 $12O, in gold and silver. Access to water is handy and wood in-abundance in the vicinity Several mines are being worked in the District with encouraging results. Col. l.. A. Smith being one of the leading mining men there.
 MT. Norton will go back to adr vance his interest in the District as soon as he gets through the of the wagon road between Yuma and Ehrenberg, of which he has charged and will com mence to prosecute immediately.

Wild Carneis in Arizona.

It is not generally known that camels roam over the desert was tes Of central and southern Arizo- na, but 1t is fact, nevertheless. Many years agO-We believe it was in 1358-a number of camels were imported into Texas for use on the western plains,. where the scorching rays of the sun poured down on the sandy desert and where water was to be had only at long intervals. We are not ad- vised as to the success of the un- dertaking on the plains of Texas. The war coming on, the cameIs were either sold or allowed to roam at large, and a portion of them found their way into Arize, na, and were used for a time in carrying freight across the Cali fornia desert, but from some cause or other, perhaps from a want of knowledge as to the peculiar habits of the animal, they did not prove profitable, and were turned loose on the Gila and Salt River bottoms, where they con. tinued to remain. The old camels have brought forth young and multiplied, until now they roam along the lower GiIa in large numbers, and seem to be content ed and happy. The old one are still tame, but the younger gene. ration is little shy not having been accustomed to the ways of men. The country seems to be peculiarly adapted to the camel, and we have no doubt they will continue to increase in numbers. until a drove of wild camels will become as common on the western plains of Arizona as buffalo now are on the plains east of the Rocky Mountains.

YUMA COUNTY.
Agricultural Resources.

It would seem a useless task to refer to the virtues of agriculture ill county like Yuma at this time, when the mind, of the capitalist down to the common on laborer, is involved with min- ing speculation. But as agricul' ture is the basis of prosperity and wealth of community, when all others peculation has ceased tv prosper, then its discussion is never too earIy-for the best i'm terest of society and the common well.
 Though it be true that Yuma county has made but little pro- gress toward demanding a recog- milton as an agricultural county, with the same success-as has ac- companied her claims and demon strationS in her mineral wealth which is nonpariel. Yet it is not too late to assert this claim which is rightfully due her.
 Everything that is requisite to promote and encourage the suc- cess-of agriculture is within the reach of Yuma county to-day, and we invite the attention of exl perienced farmers and capitalists who are seeking comfortable, selfsustalning homes, and safe investments-to the wonderful opportunities which Yuma coun- ty offers in her agricultural fields, which are daily passed by the hundreds of people in their blind eager for mineral wealth,
 The great transcontinental line of Railroad which runs through Yuma county from East to West and the great stream of the Colo rado which runs the entire length of it's Northern border, places Yuma County in complete com- munication with all parts of the world-this together with it's vast mineral wealth, which is increas- ing everyday points Yuma counI ty to become one of the richest communities on the globe, to the far seeing eye.
 The capabilities of the soil for the culture of sugar cane, cotton, barley. wheat, vegetables, fruits, and a variety of other products; have been well experimented with good and satisfactory results It is not uncommon to see in Yuma handsome flower and fruit gardens, of many varieties, in luxur1ant growth, where one year and halfago could be seen noth- ing more than barren spots of ground; therefore to bring the vast tracts of land which comprise the Colorado and Gila bottoms into state of cultivation, and supply Yuma county own con- sumption which is now very large ana constantly increasing, with tie development of mines and steady stream of population com ing in; capital is required to build canals and ditches to. irrigate these idle tracts of land with the the water of the Colorado river then we want energetic farmers to take hold and make a garden or what IS now almost an unin-

none of the scullers who came under the con-

having died out pre- vious to the start. Plaisted

squirt, left his man quite handily, and opened

Doyle, although falling to tho rear, was doing
his best, but his efforts were unavailing. Plaist.
ed rowed hard all the way home, and finished
the distance in 22m. 35s. Doyle being nearly
quarter of mile behind, in 25m 3s. The
prize for the winner is $50. The consolation
race for amateurs will be rowed some day this

and did not win prize.
