ESTABLISHED FACTS.
Concerning Graham County, Which are
Well Worth Serious Consideration
by those Seeking new Homes, OF Men
Seeking Profitable Investment for
Capital.

The agricultural resources of the
ella valley are both varid and ex.
tensive, comprising an area OF
arabic land Of which there is al
present tributary to canals and
bitches, 10000 acres which is
capable of being irrigated. The
principal products are alfalfa, wheat,
corn, barley, oats, vegetables, de-
cidious andcertain classes of citrus
fruits.
This is the natural home of
alfalfa, of which from 4 to crops
are grown yearly, yielding from 5
to 8 tons per acre. 1t is not as
Stocky as that which comes from
the Salt River valley and is pre-
ferable for either horses or cattle.
Wheat, barley and oats grow
prOlifcly, the former containing a
very large amount of nutrition.
Yellow dent, white gourd and
other large varieties Of corn yield
productivity, vegetables are large
and solid and come to maturity
two months earlier than IN the
eastern and middle states.
The valley and hill lands are
adapted to all of the products of
the temporal zone, and many Of
the fruits Of the semi-tropical
countries. The apples equal in
size and flavor the prize winners
of the eastern states. The seed
ling fruits are unexcelled in size
and general excellence. Apricots
and apples both grow with sur
prising rapidity. The peaches in
appearance and taste are identical
with those which come from the
famous orchards of New Jersey.
Canagrie grows wild, some of
the tubers being as large as good
sized potatoes. Tests. now show
that canagrie root, which flourish
es near Thomas, IN the lower por-
ton Of the valley, contains large
er per cent of tannic acid than any
ever sent to the extract works
from either Arizona or New Mexi-
co.
Farming lands can be purchased
at from $50 to 500 per acre, in
improvements and water
rights.
Uncultivated land without water
right IS free to any settler under
the United States homestead law.
This class Of farms will eventually |
become valuable when the canal |
facilities have been increased.
The cost of maintaining the ca
nails which are owned by the farm
9rs varies from 80 cts. to S1.0O per
acre per year.
The following are the market
values Of the products of the soil
vt the ranch, there being ready
sale for everything raised in the

livered in Stafford.
Milk cows $500 to $4,000
There is at present about 118
miles Of irrigatlng canals and main
bitches, not including the lateral
bitches which will make the total
several times this amount. This
gives ample water to assure crops
for about $4,000 acres. When the
Enterprise canal is finished it will
water several thousand acres Of
rich table and bottom land. 1t
has been estimated that a quarter
Of million acres Of additional land
could be irrigated if storage dams
were built. This could be done
in several places, notacly at the
narrows about IS miles from SAT-
ford where a box canyon exists
through which the river passes.
1t is from this point the Enterprise
company are building their canal.
Graham county covers an area
OF i,OUO square miles.
The Gila valley is 35 miles from
the narrows to the edge Of the res
ervation, with an average width Of
bottom lands of two miles, the dis
tance between the foot hills being
six miles. The valley is fanked
on the north by the ella mountains
and on the south by the Graham
mountains, Mount Graham being
the highest peak, with an altitude
Of ten thousand feet above sea level.
Although but little prospecting
has been done in either the ella
or Graham mountains, the few
pr 'p.rllos which have been de.
veloped show that the ore body
is practically inexhaustable; while
copper predominates, there is both
gold and silver in paying quantities
1t is a virgin field for both the
minor and captailIst and one which
promises grand results.
The two principal mining com
panies are the Detroit, at Morenci,
and the Arizona Copper Company,
at Clifton. The former employees
300 men and the latter 600.
The output of the Arizona comp,
any is 20 tors Of copper per day
and Of the Detroit. about 10 tons
per day. These two companies
alone pay out for labor about 5000,
600 annually.
Experts are at present prospect
ing near Saffoad for coal.
There are twenty-five schools,
and one Academy in Graham
county. The examination for
teachers is very strict; only those
who are thoroughly qualified be
ing able to procure certificates.
IL churches OF different dcnomi-
nations look after the spiritual
welfare of the community. Soci- |
ETY. is as refined here as IN any /
of the old eastern cities. !
