9he Valley of the Colorado.

Gazing into the valley of the Colorado from the summit of Union
 Pass one is impressed with the beauty and grandeur of the scene. On eithec side is high castellated cliffs of porphyry and granite, in shades of red, brown, yellow and white, while away to the west, like a ribbon of silver, flows the turbid waters of the mighty Colorado. From the mountain range to the river the descent is rapid. For miles to the south the land along the river bank is as level as floor and with proper irrigation can be made to produce anything grown in semi-tropical climate. A num- Der of men are now engaged in clearing the land and preparing the ground for a crop between old Hardyville and Fort Mohave. The men have the utmost confidence in the country and expect to make fortunes from their lands.
 Parties are now in Albuquerque trying to obtain right of way over the railroad lands and as soon as the matter is adjusted it is thought work on the Bulls Head canal will be commenced. With this canal completed in the valley people will flock in. there from all parts of the country. There are fully 250,OOO acres in the valley that can be brought under culti- vation. B. H. Spear, one of the old residents of Fort Mohave, and a gentleman who has studied the question in all it's phases, believes that artesian T4!er aan he obtained in the valley at a depth of less than two hundred feet. If the canals fails artesian wells will be tried. The valley is sure to be settled up.-Mohave Go Miner.
