Irrigating
 canals, bitches
 and Reservoirs,

The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in subjection the rise of water in canal, due to an over-abund- ant flow, or to sudden rises in the canal owing to severe rains or storms.
 It is particularly valuable to have such Water Gate placed in lower bank of canal, at such points along it's line Where there are Ravines, GuIhes, ArrOyos Foot Hills, Buttes, or Tableand, as any rains or storms bring down at such points surplus of water that is very dangerous to the banks of canal. Tie Waste Gate, however, will prevent such damage, as it is
 SELF-ACTING AND A PERFECT SAFETY VALVE Relieving the canal, at short intervals, of it's sur plus water thus preventing the washing away of banks, and causing great damage generally, no alone to canal but property owners all along the line, who may suffer more or less damages there after for the want of water owing to the damaged cond ion of canal and while such repair are being made. Not only is it valuable to relieve canal of it's surplus water, to prevent damage and ex-- pense, but by it's use the first cost of canal con- struction will be materially lessened, as the banks need not be made so high wide.
 The device is extremely simple, and eompars- lively inexpensive Its plan of operation is this:
 There is pipe fastened to an opening in the vertical gate, l. When the body of water rises to the level of the upper end of pipe, 2, water runs freely into the tank 3, which is immediately filled, thus overbalancing the weight, f. which is on the other end of lever 5, thus forcing open the gate, which suddenly relieves the canal of large sur plus of water. When body of water recedes below certain level, no more water is admitted to the tank; therefore empties itself by a small faucet opening, 6, at the bottom; this being done, the weight overbalances tank, and brings down the lever which, being rigid to the swinging gate, closes it. This operation continues at short in tervals, so long as the body of water keeps rising over a certain level. The lever, gate, pipe and tank all rigid, and hinge, pivot, on d hori- zontal shaft. The gate, Hume or bsx can be made any height width or length desired. The gate be hinged between any bulkhead without box.
 The Water Gate is a Perfect Safety Valve, and is to body of water what a safety valve is to steam. They can be made any size, corresponding with body of water and size of canal. It is secured by letters patent, and for sale only by

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social and industrial de- velopment. There can't be doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she has waited so long is breaking at last. Theve is every promise of day of great pros perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of new and ener gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people. while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small inn pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her fall share of atten- tion and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There is scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lenders than this.
 Arizona has reached that climacticer period which every western state has ex- perienced sometime in its history when, after long and weary struggle and doubt, with each side of the balance first up and then down, the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and sunhurst of energizing hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com pletion of two transcontinental lines of railroad across her territory has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has heen quietly ac- cumulating 8 fund of substantial wealth and force of moral character which qualify her now to rise up and take her destiny in her own hands.
 The population of Arizona is Mexican. This is mistake of great importance from the moral point of view. There is but one considerable center of Mexican population in the territory, the city of Tucson, and even there it is not by any means at pres ent the predOminating element. It think it is certain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large a Mexican population as | Colorado and not above one-tenth as much as New Mexico. -"Fitz- Mac," in Denver News.

Resources
 of Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

A white nan first set foot on what is now Yuma County in l77l. It is the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter ritory. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in a few years ex- pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali fornia catches of Arizona is that of the picturesque town Of Yuma, which is snugly situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills, upon whose crests and sides the modern homes of our superior civilization are crowding the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undeyeloped riches the eyes of the
 ountry are at present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with a rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that she is the center of a country whose agricultural possibili- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by a soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting oaly water to become a paradise of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the fe-giving waters of the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

acres, nov proftless, can be made productive by the construction of irrgating dithes, and there is no investment which assures larger or more permanent returns
 The foregoing statements are not exaggerated; in fact they fall short of doing justice to this won derful land. Pineapples, dates, almoads and wal nuts will do we'll Strawberries, raspberries, black berries currants gooseberries, and all varieties of small fruits can be successfully cultivated. Indeed, Yuma County is not only the natural home of the citrus and semi-tropical fruits, as almost every fruit nut, plant, grain, grass or vegetable which eau be produced in either tropic temperate zone, will thrive in its rich and fertile soils WHY IMMIGRANTS SHOULD COME TO YUMA

RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY,

hlk EhC Of U MA NOO l l..
 In regard to climate, healthfulness, fer tility and productiveness of soil, facilities for cultivation, irrigation and abundance of water supply, variety of resources and cheap transportation by rail and by water, no part of Arizona can surpass Yuma county, which is destined to become one of richest and most prosperous counties in Arizona.
 It lies between 320 O0' and 340 20' north latitude and ll30 2O> and ll40 4O' west longitude. It contains ASS, ,32O acres. It is about as large as the States of Rhode Island, Connecticut and Delaware con- bixed, or as large as either New Hampshire, Vermont or Massachusetts.
 The western boundary of Yuma County is formed by the Colorado river, which separates Arizona from California. The county is bounded on the north by Williams Fork and the Santa Maria river, whose waters flow into the Colorado; on the east by the counties of Pima, Maricopa and Yavapai, and on the south by Sonora, Mexico. Its county seat is the town of Yuma.
 The Colorado river drains the entire ter ritory of Arizona, and every drop ot water which falls on its mountains and plains finds its way to this mighty river. It is formed by the union of the Green and Grand rivers, fed by the streams which rise in the Rocky Mountains, and the melt ing snows cause a greater depth of water in this river in summer than in winter. thus furnishing the most water at the season when it is most required for the purposes of irrigation and agriculture.
 It will be seen that for the entire distance along its western boundary, Yuma County possesses the great advantage of cheap water transportation.
 The Gila river rises in the western part of New Mexico and is fed by numerous streams, among the most prominent of which are the San Pedro, Agua Fria, Has, sayampa and Salt rivers. It flows west through Yuma County and empties into the Colorado at the town of Yuma.
 Yuma county, traversed by these great rivers from its northern to its southern, and from its eastern to its western bound aries, possesses a far greater water supply than any other county in the Territory, and far more than can be found in all Cali fernia.
 This water is now being diverted from its natural channels by means of numerous large irrigating canals, and utilized for the purpose of retaining and irrigating the immense tracts of lands which lie in this favored country, and which are as fertile as any in the world.
 The Southern Pacific Railroad crosses the Colorado river at the town of Yuma and runs through the county, following the generol course, and at an average distance of about four miles south, of the Gila river, rendering all the lands susceptible of irri- gatiOn and cultivation, can find an easy outlet in this way and can be transpol ted to all the markets and centers of population in the East or West.
 Another competing railroad is projected from San Diego. California, to the town of Yuma, and thence along the north side of the Gila river. Thus Yuma County will have exceptional railroad advantages.

THECLIMATE OF YUMA.

The climate of Yuma for nine months of the year has no equal, as we believe, in the world, and during the remaining three months of the year, comprising June, July and August, the heat is not oppressive. Even though the thermometer in mId-sum- mer may aa times rise above l00', and oc- casionally even reach lI0', yet, owing to the absence of moisture in the air, it is not oppressive. The atmosphere is pure, light and balmy. When the mercury marks the highest extreme of heat, person does not feel that oppression or debility which is felt in the Eastern States when the mer- cury is ranging from 8O' to 9O' The air is so dry that precipitation is absorbed as soon as it reaches the surface of the body, and at no time in the summer does the heat produce any discomfort.
