THE ARABY CANAL.

The Araby Canal obtains its water supply from the Gila river the head of the canal being located on the south bank of the river about fifteen miles east of Yuma and it is intended to irrigate the the Araby Valley, which lies bet ween the latter place and the head of the canal.
 A tunnel, seven feet by seven feet and one hundred feet in length, through cement rock, forms the inlet, or head, of the canal. The head-gate was faced in the tunnel about thirty feet from the inlet, the gate being worked from above through a well. The bottom of the tunnel is on level with extreme low water. The width of the canal is ten feet on the bottom, with slopes of one to one; depth of water provided for, three feet six inches; which will, with a canal free from weeds, give velocity of flow of one foot a second, and a carrying capacity of three thousand miners inches sufficient water to irrigate the twelve thousand acres constituting the Araby Valley. The light grade was adopted to bring the water to the surface as soon as possible, so as to be able to irrigate as much land as possible, for the highest. lands are the earliest and best adapted to early fruits. At a point two and one-half miles below the. ead-gate a rock cut, eighteen feet in depth for short distance, was necessary to avoid the river.
 Five miles below the head, the

DICKINSON CANAL.

This canal heads on the south side of the Gila river, a few miles below the head of the South Gila Canal. It is being taken out by private parties, and is intended to irrigate only lands belonging to these parties. It is six or seven feet wide on the bottom, with a slope of about one foot to one, and has fall of eighteen inches to the mile. The canal when completed will be about eight miles long. It is being rapidly pushed ahead and will soon be finished. The pro- jectors are energetic men, who de- sire to make homes for themselves, and have, therefore, joined their resources of muscle and money toward procuring that greatest of all necessities in this and any coun- try-water. Such men as MT. Dick inson and associates cannot fail, for they are men of action.
 The land tributary to this canal is entirely bottom-land.
The Arizona sentinel., 1888-02-25

A commodious hotel and com. fortable bath-houses are shortly to be erected, and the surrounding grounds will be improved and made beautiful with ornamental shrub bery and trees. A town-site will also be laid out, to include the springs. Undoubtedly, Agua Cali ente will make a most delightful winter resort, and annually attract hundreds of people seeking health and recreation. The climate for nine months in the year is superb, and those who once come within it's influence, and are enabled to enjoy it with the comforts and lux uries of civilization added, will surely endeavor to procure homes, if only for a season during each year. The knowledge, also, that in this favored climate and section the orange, lemon, lime, banana, date and other tropical and semi tropical plants grow and thrive, will add to the desire of hosts of people to seek such a delightful haven from the storms and cold of the Eastern States. It makes one feel much more. comfortable to be able to pluck oranges and gather flowers in the months of December and January than to be lodging cyclones and fleeing from blizzards. The demand for land, consequent upon the attraction of the springs, will make that land more valuable.
 The Purdy Canal parallels the Southern Pacific railroad east and west, at an average distance of about six and one half miles. The shortest distance is four miles. Passengers and freight are now being landed at Aztec station, on that railroad, and are carried over good wagon road to the canal.

and highways free from dangerous ditches.
 The complete system of water supply will be incorporated under the name of the Araby Water Company, a mutual company where in each landowner and water taker will hold stock according to his acreage, this having been found to be the most satisfactory system of distributing in the older irrigating districts of Southern California.
 Very complete observations of temperature during the past winter have proved beyond doubt that the climate of the Araby Valley is no colder than that of Yuma, which is situated in the lower end of the valley, where the orange, lemon and lime trees flourish, and have never been injured by any frost.
 Extensive vineyards and orchards of citrus and other fruit trees are being planted at East Araby, nine miles east of Yuma, and the sum- mer of 1889 will witness extensive shipments of grapes, early in June.
 Mir. Hiram w. Blaisdell, a civil and mining engineer of large ex- perience, is the builder and owner of the Araby system of water supply, which will, in a few years, add very materially to the wealth of semi-tropical Yuma County.
The Arizona sentinel., 1888-02-25

valley of the Salt river, where great
 attention has been paid to irriga-
 tion, and where the subject is well
 understood, thus speaks of this
 great enterprise: "All the lands from Gila Bend to Yuma are adapted to the growth of citrus fruits. The oranges of Yuma are not excelled by Florida, Sonora, or Riverside, California. The lemons of Yuma are equal in all respects to those of Sicily. There is in the county of Yuma sufficient land to make homes, when once reclaimed, for one hundred thousand people. The Colorado and Gila rivers pass through the county, and can be utilized for purposes of irrigation. The proposition to take out the waters of the Colorado, at or near Castle Dome, and irrigate all the lands lying south to the Sonora line, thus retaining nearly a mil lion of acres of as fine land as can be found on Gods footstool, is cer- tainly feasible, and the lands will ultimately be reclaimed. The water is at hand; the lands once reclaimed would be worth a dizzy sum of money, running up into the hun- dreds of millions, if valued at one quarter the price of lands of Los Angeles County, and, although it may require a large sum to do it, yet, capital will make the effort. To accomplish grand results, to sur mount great difficulties, the engin- eering skill of the age is fully con- petent. It is only a question of money, which is always forth-com- ing when large returns are in sight. The Gazette believes that in five years time, or at the most ten, Yuma will be one of the most prosperous and popul6us sections of Arizona"
The Arizona sentinel., 1888-02-25
CONTRERAS CANAL.

This canal heads about three miles below the head of the Purdy Canal, on the opposite side of the river. It has been in operation for a length of some six miles for a period of two years, and land along it has produced several crops of wheat, barley, corn, sorghum, beans, etc., as we'll as melons and vegetables. Vines and peach and apricot trees have been set out and are growing nicely.
 The Contreras Canal will be ex- tended five miles further west to Texas Hill, and will irrigate, all told, about 5000 acres of bottom land. Nearly all this land has been taken up.
The Arizona sentinel., 1888-02-25

 of it in distributing water. The survey of the canal runs along a bench formed by plateau of high lands, for about twenty miles, when having surmounted this bench, it takes a course over a level and magnificent tract of country, cross ing the Southern Pacific railroad track. Between the plateau and the river the land to be irrigated is similar in character to all the bot tom lands of the Gila Valley. It is exceedingly rich and naturally productive, the slightest fall of rain resulting in an immediate and spontaneous growth of new vege- tation all over the face of the coun- try. The higher land is made up of lighter soil, but is warmer. This latter fact is probably caused by the existence of less moisture in the atmosphere. On the lower level and closer to the river the ground is moister, and there is a great deal of vegetation along the immediate margin of the river. The moisture being absorbed by the warm air of the day is precipi- tated at night by condensation and the attraction of the vegetation. In the morning, as the sun rises and gathers heat, this moisture is evaporated with greater or less ra- pidity, and, hence, the mornings and nights are cooler on the bottom lands, and the soil is correspond ingly affected. The difference, how ever, is but slight, although percep- tible.
 Affairs are being arranged to shortly place 8 heavy force at work on the South Gila Canal, and its construction will be pushed vigor- ously to completion. The enter prise is fortunate in having inter- ested therein one possessing the judgment and experience of MT. Robert McPherson. There is prob ably no man on the Pacific coast who has a better practical and

 The canal from its head takes a southerly and westerly course, and will be some fifteen miles in length. It is now ten feet in width on the bottom, but is intended to eventu- ally be fifteen feet in width. It has fall of eighteen inches to the mile, and a slope of one and one- half feet to one. About eight miles is now finished, and the water run ming through that distance. Work of construction is still being con- tinued.
 The land under the Hackett Canal is all bottom-land of the richest soil. It is level, easy to clear and possesses other superior advantages in the way of easy cultivation. A great deal of it has been improved, and crops were grown last season. Some 5000 acres have been appro- priated, and there are 4,000 acres vacant. A number of farms will be cultivated this season.

theoretical knowledge of fruit cul- ture and the capability of soils than Mir. McPherson. He has made fruit culture the study of his life, and has now one of the most pro- ductive vineyards in Southern Cali fornia. It may not be amiss to state here that he has pronounced the Colorado and Gila Valleys, from the Mexican boundary line to Gila Bend, to be, in his opinion, the best fruit belt in the United States.
