ReSOurCeS
 of Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

A " hite nan first set foot on what is ROW Ynma County in l77l. It ls the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter fitery. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and iu few years ex- pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali ornia 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 ere 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 country are at present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with 2 rapidity that at present can hardly be re- slized. But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that she is the center of a country whose agriculturai possib'li- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta Of the Nile, and wanting oaly water to become 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 life-giving waters Of Che yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

 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 be successfully cultivated Indeed, Yuma County is not only the natural home of the citrus and mitropica fruits, alm st 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

LANDS AND SOILS.

The lands of Yuma County comprise the river bottoms and valleys and the uplands OF mesas The bottom ands ase moister and slightly fertile, q, indeed. it is possible to make comparisons where aa ara so ~onderfuly productive and prolific.

RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.

in regard 70 climate, healthfulness, fer Sility 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 ot richest and most prosperous counties in Arizona.
 It lies between 320 OO and 34' 20' north latitude and llS0 20' and ll4' 4O' west longitude. It contains 6. 4SS, 320 acres. It is about as large as the States of Rhode Island, Connecticut and Delaware com bi.ed, 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 rit .ry of Arizona, and every drop ct water which falls on its mountains and plains finds its way to this mighty rlver. 1t IS ormed by the union of the Green and Grand rivers, fed by the streams which rise ! the Rocky Mountains, and the melt ing SHOWS cause a greater depth Of water in thus river III summer than Tn winter. thus furn shing the most water at the season when it is most required for the purposes oi 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, savampa 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 it's southern. and from its eastern to its western bound. aries, possesses 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 lal ge irrigatilg canals, and utilized for the purpose of retaining and irrig"ting 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 culti 'ation, can ind an easy outlet in this way and can be transpol ted to all the markets and canters of population 7s the East or West.
 Another competing railroad is projected of Yuma, aEd 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 She 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 nnd-sum- iher may al times rise above I0O0, and oc- cnsionally even reach iI0', yet, ON ing to the absence of moisture in the air, it is not oppressive. The atmosphere is pure, light and bSlmy. When the mercury marks the highest extreme of heat, person does not feel that oppression CT debility which iS felt Tn the Eastern States hen the mer cury is ranging from s0' 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.

Charges in which Death Resulted.

Key West. Fla, Aug. I6.-Captain
General Weyler and Gen. Ochondo
were the principals in a sensational
affair which occurred shortly before tie
latter sailed for Spain. The death of
General Ochondo's nephew who was
lieutenant in the Spanish army, was the
cause of the trouble.
There were ugly rumors in circula-
ton rejecting on the young lieutenant,
who was accused of conducting a trea-
sonable correspondence with Maxine.
Gomez, the insurgent leader. When
Weyler heard of the rumors he sum-
moned the young man to the palace
and questioned him. Weyler was aP-
parently satisfied of the young mans
guilt and told him that if he did not
commit suicide in twenty-four hours he
would be court-martialed and shot.
The lieutenant left the palace, went to
his room, and in six hours was corpse,
having shot himself through the heart.
The affair was hushed up and the
Spanish officials report said the young
man died of yellow fever.
Shortly afterward Gen. Ochondo ar
rived in Havana and learned the true
story of his nephew's death. He was
greatly enraged. He Immediately went
to the palace to call Welyer to account.
The meeting of the generals was most
sensational. Ochondo denounced Wey
Ter in the bitterest terms, alleging that
the lieutenant was guiltless and had
been driven to his death. Ochondo
termed Weyler murderer and butcher
and challenges him to a duel. The men
drew swords and would have fought in
the palace but for the interference of
other officials.
Two days later Gen. Ochondo sailed
for Spain He is greatly enraged and
says he will make the affair public when
he reaches Spain and demand Weyler's
recall.

HAD TO BORROW HEARsEs
A sad state of Affairs in the Me-
trOpOlfs of the Country

New York, August I'm this city
yesterday were held 400 funerals and in
Brooklyn over 200 people were buried.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday saw more
burials than any seven days of which
the cemetery bookkeepers can find
record of. OF the 1910 persons who
died in this city last week nearly 500
died Thursday night, Friday and Satur-
day. Because of the difficulty of Sc
curing caskets, hearses and carriages or
even undertakers' service beyond the
simple and most necessary, nearly all
the funerals for that period were de-
layed until today.
Thirty-six hearses were borrowed
from adjoining towns in New Jersey
and twelve from Philadelphia yester-
day and several New York undertakers
whose rush was over, loaned hearses to
Bro oklyn friends. Other hearses were
added to Brooklyn's supply from Long
Island towns, as there were nearly one
fourth of the weeks SO dead in that
city still unburied At the cemeteries
the crowds of visitors were enormous
and TIE tolling of the gate bells contin-
uous. So many graves had been called
for that the force of nearly 800 men at
Calvary had been increased by over 100
diggers, and the entire number worked
night and day.

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-A special to the
Tribune from Buzzard's Bay, Mass
SAYS;
Attorney General Harmon was at
GRAY Gables yesterday and left on the
late train last night. While here he
met Secretaries Carlisle, Olney and La
mont, these four members of the cabi-
net being at Buzzard's Bay at the same
time.
There is no doubt some important
matters were discussed, Notwithstanding
the statement that the visit here of so
many cabinet ministers at this Particu-
lar time is purely of social character.
There are several reports in circula-
tiion of what passed at the meeting, one
being the advisability of issuing a state
ment with relation to the third party,
and that Secretary's Smith position was
also considered.
SPANS alleged claim for damages is
also thought to have been considered.

The steamer Laurada

Madrid, Aug. I6.-The duke of Te-
tuan, the Spanish minister of foreign
affairs, has received Washington dis
patch giving satisfactory assurances re-
garding the alleged flibustering expedi-
ton of the Laurada.
Washington, Aug. I6.-The steamer
Laurada referred to in the Madrid dis
patch, has figured frequently in the
claims made by the Spanish authorities
that American merchants here were
engaged in filibustering operations. In
Tanury last the then captain of the YES
sci was indicted in the federal courts of
South Carolina, but was acquitted after
a jury trial. Frequent reference has
been made to the experience of the
Laurada at Mayport, Fla, in May last
The captain on that occasion failed to
take out papers required by the law, and
this led to tile surveillance of the La
urada, by Spanish war vessel. 1t was
claimed that ten Cubans were located
on board and that quantities of war ma
teriaI and dynamite were thrown into
the water after the Spanish war vessel
put in an appearance. 1t was also rep
resented at the time of the appearance
of the Spanish cruiser that thirty men
were drowned owing to the PreciPitous
haste in getting ashore to avoid appre-
hension. The Spanish authorities
claimed that the United States had
laken no proceedings toward recover
ing the vessel or arms in accordance
with the neutrality laws.
All the state department officials were
absent from the bity tonight, so no
statement could be obtained from that
quarter

An Unwarranted INVASION.

Marion is a little girl 5 years old. She
was going up stairs the other day when
a lady came to the door to pay her
mother a visit, who had in her hand
great boquet of roses. The child was
delighted to be given these and told to
take them to mamma. She scamPered
up stairs with the flowers, while the
maid ushered the caller into the draw
ing-room. This house has several
small chiLren in it, and their mother is
obliged to forbid their using some rooms
freely. When Marion started down the
staircase again, she saw that the doors
were opened into that sacred apart
ment. She stood stsl and stared. There
sat the visitor in plain, sight. Mamma"
she shrieked to the hostess in her own
room, "the lady has got into the parlor"
