est additions co the towns of the Uni
 ted States; yet it is already widely
 known and all over the country in
 yalids are looking toward the place a,
 we'll suited for a place of residence
 for health seekers. The altitude is
 l450 feet above the sea level and tho climate is dry and pleasant during
 ne entire year. During the months
 i Inne, July and August the average
 mperature is about e5 degrees, but
 bni there is so little humidity in the atmosphere there is little or no incon- seuiegcc experienced. The heat is not oppressive, and during these usCnfhs .t is much more pleasant than in the Atlantic seaboard cities.
 This pleasing >emi-tropical atmos- .here $ spfobsbly owing to the sur fornding ris sical conditions. To the north and east nigh ranges of noun falJ.s protect the Great Casa Grande valley, oi which 1t is the center, from hc chilling winds of the central re- gion ehilc across the open country to he southwest, balmy breexes from the Gulf Of California, not far distant, blow tc temper the air and moderate the heat, giving an equilibrium to the climate that cannot fall to benefit the .nerfated health seeker.
 While three of the summer months are warm during the day, the nights s;r always cool. This is on account nr the rArified condition of the atmos- phefe which becomes instantly cool un the setting of the sun.
 Hence it is always comfortable 10 sleep under clothing during the nights Of JHne July and August.
 fhe fall, winter and spring months aau be compared with the Italian cline, little or no frost. Flowers 1lcLm during the entire winter, grass ls green Sud much of the shrubbery retains its foliage.
 It is pain to be seen that such clifa4te must be health restoring.
 lt l. fact worthy of note that many hundreds of people who come Dere in the last stages of pulmonary troubles recover in short time so that they are enabled to engage in busiDess. Many of the most progress i've. pushing and wealthy business n.cD Of Southern Arizona, left their northeastern homes and came here as eondfHed inyalids with the hope of dying easily. They would not now de for ten times what they are worth.
 As compared with Southern Cali rOrnia climate, Arizola and its sur soundirgs are far superior in every re- spcc; and such is tine verdict of inval- ids wLo have given both climates an equal trial.
 In the vicinity are many points of interest that will be visited with much pleasure by tourists and health seekers. Some fourteen miles away, over a good road, are the far-famed Casa Grande ruins, the remnant of a great building which was once the principal structure in a city of many thousand inhabitants, the numerous dotting the plain around be- iue all the remains of what were once substantial buildings, erected and in- by human beings high in the scale of intelligence and civilization. About twelve miles away is the rescr- Yoir of the Florence canal a large ar ldcial lake. abounding in fish, 'sild game and fowl, where the angler lnd sportsman may enjoy the many hRppy hours Amut fifteen miles to 'he north is the Pima Indian agency, ls 5acston, with It's school, farm, etc.,
