Seeking Profitable Investment for
Capital.
The agricultural resources of the
Gila valley are both varid and ex-
tensive, comprising an area of
arabic land of which there is at
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 to 5 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
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
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-
tion 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
ers varies from 80 cts. to $1.00 per
acre per year.

There is at present about 1l8
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 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 1000 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 fianked
on the north by the Gila 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 Gila
or Graham mountains, the few
properties 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 capitalist 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
800 men and the latter 600.
The output of the Arizona comp,
any is 20 tons of copper per day
and of the Detroit about 10 tons
per day. These two companies
alone pay out for labor about $780,
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.
II churches of different denomi-
nations look after the spiritual
welfare Of the community. Soci-

MERELY a POLITICIAN.
Secretary Carlisle Neither Statesman
Nor "A Einancier

Matthew Marshall in New York Sun:
II the secretary of the treasury were
a statesman and an expert financier he
might devise means for increasing
the revenue which would command the
approval of all parties. but unfortun-
ately he is neither, but only a politi-
clan. The speech he made in Boston a
week ago last Saturday proves this. In
order 10 free a Democratic administra-
ton from the blame of selling bonds at
high rates of interest in order to pro-
cure money, he told his hearers that
ii was done in order TO maintain the
redemption in gold of the legal tender
notes, suppressing entirely the fact that
of the notes thus redeemed many mil
lions had been used in paying current
expenses and that thus indirectly the
fciency in the revenues. When the
bond sales began, in January, 1894,
the cash balance in the treasury was
about sS4, 000, 900. The proceeds Of
the bonds then sold and in the follow
ing November was a little over S117,-
GOO 900 and those sold this year have
yielded trife more than $50 900 900,
making the total derived in the two
years from this source 1882 600 600.
If, now, this amount had been devoted
strictly TO redeeming legal tenders
and to no other purpose. and there
had been sufficient revenue coming in
to meet ordinary expenditures, the
treasury would now have in gold and
redeemed greenbacks a cash balance
of S266, 600 600 On the contrary, the
balance is reported at about $1Sl ,000,-
600, and, when the treasury books are
written up at the end of the month,
1t will probably be reduced to $175,-
coo, 900 This proves that of the pro-
ceeds of the bonds sold according TO
the secretary exclusively to redeem the
greenbacks the difference between
$2G6 .O0O, 600 and $3.50 600, amount
ing to $91 600 900 has been diverted TO
other purposes The secretarys mis-
representation might be pardonable in
a political stump speech, but it is I'M
worthy of high officer of the govern
ment.

LINCOLN AND CLEVELAND.


Upon the whole we are inclined TO
agree with Mr.. Carlisle that prices are
infated-that is. some prices For eX-
ample, Abraham Lincoln received a
salary of $25. 900 year, in green backs
inferior, deprecated, "unsound,"
dishonest" money, worth upon an
average 80 cents on dollar in gold or
silver
Mr.. Cleveland is paid at the rate of
$4,000 year, in sound money, hon
est" money. the best money in the
world" every dollar as good as any
other dollar" and each one worth 100
cents in gold, or 200 cents in silver at
the bullion price.
Measured in silver bullion, or the
necessities of life, Mr.. Cleveland's sal
airy is nearly four times that of the i'm
mortal Lincoln. Perhaps, though, Mr.
Cleveland is nearly four times as good
a man as Lincoln and possibly his
services are worth nearly four times as
much.
These. however, are only possibilities,
and therefore we are prepared TO ac-
cept the statement that some prices are
inflated. National Bimetallist.
