FINAL GOUNTY.


 Among the political divisions of Arizons none surpasJ'her in natural advantages
 Nature has lavished her gifts, and il needs bat energy and capital to make them bear fruit. In he San Pedro end Casa Grand valleys are hundreds oi
 thousands of acres Of as fertile lard ais ever the sun shone on. Through bo.H these valleys run ii els which wi furnish water enough 70 isrigate all this lard There are places both on the Gila and - San Pedro rivers. where run between the rivers steep bluffs, that sem 10 have been ex- pressely formed for the construct on of reservoirs by means of dams. By e construction of dams at theae sites enough water can be stored to irrigate all this land through two season of drou.h. thus insuring to those who cul ,igate the land an abund- ance of water, regardless Of the rainfall. In he mouutains of Pinal county are stored immense bodies of mineral bear ing rock, carrying gold. silver,f copper and lead. To the north of Florence lles the famous Silver King mine, which, not
 withstanding all that has been sad about it's bei3g worked out is still a good mine. Still nearer are the Reymert mines and mineral Hill, where are known to exist immense bodies of ore, both hizh h and low grade, which only await the erection of proper reduction works to be worked at Q profit At Riverside and vicinity are immense bodies O; soll and copper ore that need but the intelligeot apple tion of capital to cause them to pour forth yellow-hued streams of me al into the channe's of trade. Th9 facilities for working the mines of Riverside and vicinity economically aro particulary favorable. They are situated rear the Gila river, which will furnish enough water power to run any kind or size of reduction plant des'red. In the eastern and of the county is the Mammoth gold camp, where 60 stamp mill is m sue cessfull operation. In this camp otLer mines are being opened preparatory to the erection If reduc5io works. In the Canyon de Gro an English company is working a group of lead and silver mines on a. extensive scale. In the southern end of the county, in what is known as the Casa Grande district, are large and valuable deposits ot gold, silver and cop per ore. Some of these are now being worked at 8 profit aud others are being systema ically developed. Before many months that section of Pinal will be turn ing out stream of bullion that will be surprising 10 those unfamiliar with the work of development now in progress. No other couni y in the Territoryis is bles- sel with such a combination of mineral wealth and immense possibilities in agriculture and horticulture, Combined with all these material and tangible oU oIlIfsS1Ss HO dIO DIcSS6u WILL du dl- most perfect climate. In fact we are in possession of what may be termed a winterla55 lad, where the temperature rarely goes below the freezing point and where sunstrokes ara unknown: a clima- te where the grow h of trees and vines is not arrested by deep snows and intense cold during several months of the year; where flowers bloom all the year around and strawberries grown in the open air are picked in December: where the ma iority of the fruits of the temperate zone can be grown to perfection saad all the cereals yield abundantly; land where a person of moderate means and energy can build up home with less expendi- ture of time, money and labor than any where else in the world. This hicture is not overdrawn. Every one who has visited here admit these facts. All these advantages are possessed by PiUal coun- ty and it needs but the advent of a moderate amount of capital, intelligently directed, to develop our mines and trans. form our valleys into Garden of Eden, both as to productiveness and beauty.
