Florence. A
Yuun's Boom.

Our lovely village is most advantage ously situa ted, and is bound to become an important city and that before many years. Two transcontinental railroads,
 within few hours travel from tide-water, and on the banks of large and naviga-
 ble stream, with a rich agricultural county around and about 1t, valuable mines within short distance, admirably located for various manufacturing enter prises, and climate that is simply per feet, these are few of the many reasons why the Sentinel insists that Yuma will be city and large one at that. It be- hooves our people to improve the natural advantages that this place possesses; beau tify your gardens, improve your houses, plant trees in front of your homes; do nything which will benefit the town. Every dollar expended in mak- ing Yuma attractive will return interest
 thousand fold to the investor. The main drawback at present to the advance ment of the town, is the lack of vacant houses, this however will soon be rem edied, as number of new buildings will be erected at once, and by next summer several very large dwellings will be com pleted. All who visit Yuma are charmed with the delightfu climate, and the hospitality of her citizens. Let the good work continue until Yuma Is the metro polls of the Pacific coast. una Sentinel

 THE people of Tucson are worked up to a pitch of enthusiasm In beautifying their city, that is destined to add very largely to the attractions of the ancient pueblo. Public meetings were held and committees selected to canvass specified districts and solicit orders for trees that are to be planted along the streets, with result that nearly every street Is to be lined with handsome shade trees. The action of the people of Tucson is highly commendablo and 1t is hoped they will witness It's good effects and continue the line of public improvements until the city Is transformed into thing of beauty and Joy forever. The residents of Flor ence require no urging in the matter of adorning the place with verdure, for the soil is so fertile and the water abundant that vegetation grows luxuriantly with but little cure. The handsums un. brc.la treos along our streets and within many private enclosures arc the admiration of all visitors, while large variety of fruit and ornamental trees adorn nearly every one's premises.

The Silver Reef Mine.

Yesterday 1t was reported that several miners had gone to Casa Grande in search of employment, in response to the telegram published in the Citizen that fifty men were wanted, but had return ed empty handed MT. Loss, to whom they referred, having stated that he knew nothing about it.
 This morning, however, Mir. W. W. Ashley, superintendent, of the mine put in appearance, having come directly from St. Louis to assume charge of the mine. To-day he purchased hoisting whim and other necessary supplies from the Tucson Machine Depot and other nec- essary material from the different mer- chants in town.
 In an interview with MT. Ashley 1t was learned that the Silver Rect mine is sit uated about eleven miles from Casa Grande and was formerly owned by MT. John O. Loss, from whom the present company purchased 1t. Adjoining 1t are the Horn Silver and Gray Eagle claims, also said to be good properties.
 It is the intention of MT. Ashley to begin work with as many men as can be advantageously worked and to put others on as fast as room can be made for them. If these properties develop IS anticipated, the company purpose to erect forty, or perhaps sixty, stamp mill in their immediate neighborhood, but in the meantime they will go on talk ing out ore and opening the claims up to the best of advantage.
 Mr. John c. Loss is now in St. Louis making the final transfer of the property. Citizen.

If sufficient inducement be obtained, he will undertake to secure the passage by Congress of law excepting sections sixteen and thirty-six from the school reserv ation where a settler was living thereon at date of survey, and thus enabling him to sell his improve ments so as to allow the purchaser, if qualified, to obtain title. Interested parties are requested to communicate at once with Mir. Copp, stating the cireum- stances of their cases.

Recognizes the Truth.

In view of the fact that facetious journalists throughout the country have often made Arizona the scene of some of their alleged witticisms by locating i'm possible and ludicrous episodes as occur ring within this Territory, the following rebuke from the Los Angeles Times is a timely refutation and truthful state- ment of the matter. The Times says:
 It is fact that Arizona is undeser ved- ly given very bad name, not only by San Francisco papers, but by the press of the whole country. Whenever any especially atrocious tale of blood is con costed by hungry penny-a-liners, it is credited to a supposititious Arizona paper and started on its rounds. As a fact, life and property are as safe in Arizona as in any State of the Union. If man keeps out of saloon and gambling house quar- rels, he may travel unarmed from one end of the Territory to the other withsGt the slightest fear of molestation, while petty larceny is unknown-something that we cannot say -of sections which claim to be more civilized. An Arizona miner may leave home for week, his cabin door unlocked, and on returning find everything In its place, with ex- ception, perhaps, of little grub to which passer-by may have helped him. self, and to which he is always entirely welcome. With advancing civilization Arizona will doubtless acquire her share of the vices of more respectable con- munities. Meanwhile it is about time for the press to cease misrepresenting Territory whose inhabitants are brave, hospitable and generous

The ten stamp mill is turning out bullion beyond all expec tations and the mine, which a year ago was considered worth not more than S10O, ,000 could not now be purchased for million.

one's premise.

THE development of new sources of water supply will constitute very profit able business in this portion of Arizona during the next ten or dozen years After the water of the streams are fully utilized, resort must be had to a system of storage reservoirs and to the opening of new sources of supply yet unseen and unknown. Whether this will be done by means of artesian wells or by tunneling into the mountain ranges, time must de- tormine. At all events the broad ex- panse of fertile but arid lands of south ern Arizona will some day be fully re- claimed by an ample supply of water for irrigating purposes and be converted into the garden spot of the far west.

WE are reliably informed that a sur veying party of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad company made pre- iiminary survey quite recently of route from Albuquerque, New Mexico, through Arizona, coming from Tonto Basin do wn the Salt river to Tempe where track of them was lost. It Is believed they went down the Gila river to Yuma, seeking a direct route from their eastern connec- tion to their Pacific seaport at Ensenada, Lower California. It is certain that sev- erRl new lines of railroad will be built through southern Arizona the present year and one or two of them will pass through Florence. When 1t can be shown that railroad will surely reach this valley there will follow such boom in real estate as our people never dream. ed of. People will ride in with a lux. nrious Pullman who will not como on ( stage coach, and when they see our love ly valley and learn of the opportunities that exist hero for profitable investment many of them will remain.

Wn published last week the obiections


 of"A Settler" to the act of Congress creating Q tribunal to determine Me1i- can land grants within the Territories, and we heartily concur in his conclu- aions. We have before taken occasion to express our repugnsnce to the meas ure as being in the direct interests of the claimants of alleged and fraudulent grants and one that will work great hard ships to the settlers over whose possess ions these shadows are cast. As our cor respondent suggests, all these claimants want is to secure the recognition of their claims by this newly created court and thereby cloud all titles to property fol the many long years that must elapsd pending final adjudication. The court san not refuse to take cognizance of the claims of any claimant, even though a himsy pretense to title is set up, and when once placed upon It's calendar tho settlers are at their mercy, and will bt subjected to merciless blackmail. The bill in question Is undoubtedly the scheme of the land pirates, instigated for the purpose of enabling them the better tc plumber the settlers in good faith upor the public domain, and those who favor the bill are either the willing or the blind tools of the conspirators.

From the very favorable untlCes pub

The West Union Record appeared the
