 Yuma county has a good dis
 play of high grade copper ores
 from the Williams Fork and
 Harcuvar Districts. These cop
 per ores are also rich in gold and
 silver, and give promlse of the
 mines becoming heavy bullion
 producers. The collection of sil-
 yer ores from this county are va
 ried and interesting. Rich chlor-
 idle ore from the Clip; black sul-
 phide from the Red Cloud; rich
 argentiferous galena from the
 Engineer and Black Rock. The

 knowledge of our "boss" min. camp. Eureka District is repre- sented by ores from the mines of MT. Charles Thressen. The space occupied by Castle Dome is filled
 with bright specimens of galena, and richly colored fluor spar. Gila, Yuma and San Buenaven- tura Districts have samples of gold ores. A large specimen of pumIce stone from near Laguna occupies a prominent place. The Yuma opals are much admired, and were it not for the supersti- 'tion, would be valued very highly. The petrifactions from this coun> ty, although not so bright-colored as those of Apache county, are very attractive. One of the trees is over four feet in height, and is Ia magnificent specimen of the petrified iron>wood. The beauti- ful crystals of wulfenite are a source of great interest to the scientist, and also attract much attention on account of their richness of color. There is every reason to believe that the display of our hard woods will open up a new industry in this section. The mesquit, paloverde and iron- wood are now being tried by eastern parties with a view of using the woods in fine panel and cabinet work, and if the experi- ments prove satisfactory, heavy purchases will be made in this country. The agricultural exhi- bit from this Territory Is very large and gives ample proof of the fertility of our soil. The Commissioners from this Territo> ry, one and all, endeaver to post all inquirers as to our resources. The question of lrrigating the magnificent lands bordering tbe Gila river, was thoroughly and carefully explained. The pro- ductiveness of the soil; nearness to market; good prices obtained for farm produce, and cheapness of labor, were all duly shown. In fact the writer feels justified in saying that a Dumber of settlers have determined in making this county their home. In less than one year the value of the exhipit made by this Territory, will be seen by the Increase of populas tion; inauguration of new enter prises and a heavier commerce. Capital is now seeking safe einvest- ments; no where in the United States is there a better field for profitable investment than Ari- zona. These facts have not only been told to thousands, but papers, carefully written, have been pub lished in the papers of New 1 Orleans. Arizona is no longer an unknown land, her thousands of valuable resources have been ad- vertised, and the banner of well come invites the industrious inn migrant and cautious capitalist to the hOspitable Territory of Ari-
