Myers District.

Mr.. A. Caldwell, the superin'
tendent of the Gunsight Mine
was in town last week, and has
kindly furnished us the following
items from Myers District.
The Gunsight Mine is being
worked on a 200 foot level, send.
ing a cross-cut within 35 feet.
The distance, so far, facing good
ore. The company is preparing
to build hosting works, the
machinery for which will arrive
about the middle of the present
month. This was bought in
Philadelphia, and is a 35- horse
power, and has been shipped by
the A. T. & Santa Fe route to
Gila Bend. The work on the
MORNING STAR
Extension is still going on be-
ing down on this ledge 25 feet.
A contract has been let for 100
feet, when cross cut of this vein
will be made. There is not much
work being done on
OTHER MINEs
AS all the lOcatOrs and pros
pectOrs ore waiting for the Gun
sight Company to put their mine
in full opera ton. Those who are
interested in this district have
full confidence of a rich devel~
opment of the camp. Fifteen
mil7s west Of the Gunsight mine
has been discovered a large
mineral belt, the assays running,
copper 40 per cent; Silver, So to
S6,-this being on cropping alone.
The ledges are large and heavy.
There is plenty of wood to be
found, but water is scarce.
However water can be obtained
in abundance by sinking.
Our townsman, Daniel Don
nelson, is interested in this I0ca-
tion. All parties interested are
preparing to develop rs soon as
the Gunsight starts up. With
the success of Myers District and
its early development, Stanwix
will become an important point,
being only 40 miles in a direct
line from these mines. One of
the principal owners, Mr.. B. F.
Bivens, is now on his way from
the east, and is daily expected TO
arrive at Gila Bend.
We are pleased to notice the
steady development of this dis
tiict, for although in Pima coun-
ty, Yuma is the objective point
for all supplies. Col. L.. A. Smiths
valuable group of silver mir es,
known as the SantO Domingo,

States, Git is almost unnecessary
to add that the story about the
soldier and his blankets is entiie-

case. The greatest heat during a
period of five year was but - i,
which is but little more than
many places in the Sacramento
Valley, while the lowest temper
ature was but 800, being only two
degrees below freezing point.
The average temperature for
nine months of the year cannot
be surpassed on any part of the
globe. The blue skies Of Italy,
or the sunny regions of our own
fair South cannot excel or equal
this place in the winter. Then,
indeed, it is veritabIe Paradise.
No dust, no rain, a clOudless
sky, reminding one of the fairy
scenes of the dreamy Orient.
Nothing but a pure air, bracing
and invIgorating the most feeble.
Yuma has but to be known to be
appreciated by the invalid.
Both hunting and fishing can
be found within easy access Of
the hotel. The Colorado river
flows down by the house, and
out of its depths the crafty 1u.

The artist can study the pic
turesque, the invalid inhale new
life from the balmy atmosphere,
and the merchant has bnt a few
hours staging to take him to the
richest silver Districts Of Arizo-
Ma.
Yuma will become ere long a
large Commercial center. The
near proximity of Castle Dome,
Silver District, and other rich
mining districts all finding their
natural outlet here. There will
also be railroad from thIs point
to Port Ysabel, on the Gulf Of
California, bringing us within
few hours of Mexico. The Cobra
do river is navigable something
like 356 miles above Yuma, and a
large and increasing trade is done
with the towns situated on the
river. Ii is bnt ninety miles to
the Gulf, and steamers are con.
stantly plying in both directions.

Xumas Attractions.

Mr.. Henry Weaver, proprietor
of the Southern Pacific Hotel,
has published a neat circular, de-
scriptive of the attractions of this
place, from which we make a
few extracts. Speaking of the
hotel building it says:
This fine cOmmOdIuS building
WAS erected bY the Southern Pa
ritic Railroad Company, and op-
ened in May, 1881. Previous to
that time there was no suitable
hotel containing accommodation
enough for the travelling public.
1t is tirot-clasS in every respect:
large AIRY rooms, furnished
throughout in Il style superior to
any other house In this Territory,
and fitted up with all modern con-
venieuceS. Travellers who have
crossed the hot, scOrching desert
of the Colorado are agreeably sur
priSed to find an oasis like this
place too remote, as it may
seem, 10 be containing all the
luXuries as we'll aS the necesSa-
rieS of life.
THE TABLE
Will be unexceptionable; all the
luXuries of the California mar
kets will be provided, regardless
of costs. At all times will be
found bouuteQuS repaSt, suf-
ficient to please the palate OF the
