WHY CAPITAL SHOULD SEEK YUMA COUNTY

WHY CAPITAL SHOULD SEEK YUMA COUNTY Because its mines are the richest.
 Because its grazing lands are the best.
 Because its farming lands are valuable and productive.
 Because it gives assurance of the largest returns on money invested.
 Because its grand resources are yet to be developed.
 Because it is young, growing county with an assured future.
 Because the opportunities for engaging in manufacturing enterprises are better than in any other region of the West
 Because good mining properties can be had at reasonable figures.
 Because there is demand for additional facilities for ore reduction,
 Because there are vast stretches of rich soil to be reclaimed by the construction of irrigating canals.
 Because there are large tracts of grass lands that can be utilized by the sinking ot artesian wells.
 Because there are many openings in a new country which cannot exist in older com munities.
 Because the opportunities for engaging in the successful cultivation of semi-tropic fruits are better than in any other part of the United States.
 Because property values are rapidly ad- y&ncing.
 Because Arizona's boom is yet to come.
 Because it is a virgin field, ready for the seed which will produce golden harvest.

Tucson and Phoenix. The first is near the
 ca level; is the warmest and probably the
 lriest of the three, has the least population, md the smallest provision for visitors.
 Tucson is the oldest town in the Territory
 md, after Santa Fe, perhaps the oldest in the Southwest. Its adobe houses give it a Mexican look, and are thoroughly comfort lble. It's newer houses are of a handsome building stone, found in the vicinity. The Territorial University is here, and it was formerly the capital. Its elevation being more than double that of Phoenix. it is somewhat cooler, and as there is next to no irrigation near it, the air is a little drier. Phoenix is the centre of the greatest irriga- tion in the Territory. The country for miles around smiles with green fields, cover ed with almost countless herds of cattlc, and it is everywhere shut in by low mount aims. It is the Territorial capital, has the Government Indian School, the Territorial Lunatie Asylum, and other institutions, and is the general focus for the Territory
 Like Tucson, it has its occasional wind and sand storms perhaps not quite so often. At either place visitors who know how to adapt themselves to circumstanc can be entirely comfortable, and in each they will find an intelligent, orderly, enterprising and most hospitablo community. They will find country full of mines, full of rich agricultural lands, abounding in cattle and horses, in vineyards and orchards and the beginnings of very successful orange groves "a country, in fact, as full of promise for hardy and adventurous men now as Califor- mia was in the!ffties. Above all, it has been their lot to search for health in far countries, they will revel in the luxury of being in their own land, among their own countrymen, within easy reach of their friends by telegraph or rail, and in climate as good of it's kind as any in the world.

acres, proftless, he made productive by the construction of irrgatng ditches, and there is no Investment which assures larger or more permanent returns" !"
 The foregoing statements not exaggerated in fact, they fall short of doing justice to this won derful land. Pineapples, dates, almonds and wal nuts will do well. Strawberries, raspberres 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-trope>l fruits as almost every fruit, nut, plant, grain; grass vegetable which eau be produced in either tropic or temperate zone will thrive In its rich and fertile soils.

Resources
 Of Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

A white man first set foot on what i: how Yuma County in I77l. It IS the Southwest division of the Territory, and ene of the four original counties of the Ter titcry. Many great reclamation projects arc however on foot, and in a few years ex- beet 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 bfctureSque 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 country are at present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with a .Hpidity 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- tics are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting only water to become paradise of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at 1uma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters ot she yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

aims and deserts The man who looks for either the beauty or the seductive excite ment of Monte Carlo will not find it. As little will he find the historic remains or the cosmopolitan attractions of Egypt; nor could he reasonable expect the amusements and luxuries of onr own Eastern cities. The people of Arizona are still chiefly busy in the pioneer work of suhduing it to the residence and uses of civilized man. But it has two transcontinental lines Of railw ay with numerous feeders; it has fast mails, and rival telegraph lines, and is throbbing with the intense life of the splendid West.
 The two principal towns in the south ern portion, chiefly sought for their climatic advantages, are Phoenix and Tucson. Each more They have the electric light, tele- phones, trolley cars, plenty of hotels, banks, bookstores, good schools, churches, an occasional theatrical performance, some- times lecture or ss circus, often horse race, and, in the spring. thoroughly curious and interesting "iesta." For the cest, people must take their amusements with them. Good horses are abundant and cheap, and there are plenty of cow boys-the genuine article-to show what horses can do. The driving for fifteen or twenty miles in almost any direction from Phoenix, is nearly always easy. The roads are apt to be dusty; but there IS one we'll sprinkled drive of six or eight miles; and since the winds are quite regular in their direction, it is rarely difficult to choose route op which the dust will be largely carried away from you. The unbroken desert itself is often as easy to drive over as an Eastern highway, and the whole valley is paradise for bicyclers, or eques- trains.
