The Seeing of Ghosts Duc to Defective
EyesIsht.
recnt number of the Australian
Medical Gazette contains q brief but
instructive report CT the cure of a case
of hallucinatory disorder. The patient,
a man aged co years, had suffered for
two years from subjective visual sensa-
tions not day passed that he did not
see large number OF spectral human
figures, and believing himself to be
haunted by ghosts he had become very
despondent and melancholy. On seek
ing medical advice it was found that
he had senile cataract. When this was
removed by operation the ghosts fed
and the man recovered his usual health.
In this connection we may cite the case
of a tradesman in Berlin whose shop
was haunted by apparitions resembling
in appearance some OF his deceased Gus
toners. He was an intelligent man,
aware that he suffered from sensory
hallucination, and made notes of his
subjective impressions. In due time he
submitted his eyes to examination and
operation, with the result of a restora-
ton of normal vision and the immedi-
ate and final disappearance of his in
tangible visitors. The obvious teach
ing of the foregoing and similar cases is
that in these modern days the person to
be resorted to for the exorcism of spir-
its and demons is the opthalmic sur
geon. @@

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social and industrial de- velopment. There can't be doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she has waited so long is breaking at last. There is every promise of day of great pros perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of new and ener- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people. while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small inn pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her full share of atten- ton and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There is a scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this The rates of interest arc falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lenders than this.
 Arizona has reached that climacticer ,pariod which every western state has ex- perienced sometime in its history when, after long and weary struggle and doubt, with each side of the balance first up and then down. the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and sunhurst of energizing hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endeavor than before.

4 white man first set foot on what is Sow Yuma County in l77l. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter e-itery. Many great reclamation projects are However on foot, and in a few years ex- Yect to see Yuma County rated as the richest ia the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali $ornia catches of Arizona is that of the picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugly sitHated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills, upon whose crests and sides the modern homes of onr superior civilization are crowding tho adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to Arizona, the new empire Of the West, upon whose undeveloped riches the eyes of the country are st present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with a rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alised. But coupled with her geographi- gal position we find that she is the center of s country whose agricultural posslbiii- ties are practically unlimited, being sur founded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and Eanting only water to become paradise of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Tuma's very doors, but already reaction Is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the iife-giving waters of She yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth

It's Attractions and Advantages as a
 Place of Residence in Winter.

Whitelaw Reid. owner and editor of the New York Tribune, who has spent the last two winters in Arizona for the benefit of his health, writes entertainingly and in structively concerning that part of the country Mir. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as place for winter residence, and there appears to be such dearth of pre- else information among many who are vitally interested, that 1t seems almost e public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, few facts of personal observation.
 WEATHER.
 During a five months residence in Southern Arizona Tn winter there was but one day when the weather made it actually unpleasant for me to take exercise in tue open air at some time 0r ether during the day. Of coarse there were 6 good many days which weather observer would de scribe as cloudy" and some that were "shoYery; but during these five months tfrom No' ember, 1895, to May, l896,) there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dur ing the day. Even more than Egypt, any where north of Luxor, Arizona is the laud of sunshine. As to details:
 TEMPERATURE.
 1 have seen the thermometer mark 92 degrees in tine shade on my north piazza in March. On the other hand, we had frostG which killed young orange trees, and there were several nights when thin ice formed.

RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.

ln regard to climate, healthfulness, fer sili3y and prodactiveness of soil, facilities for cultivation, irrigation and abundance Of svater supply. variety of resources and cheap transportation by rail and by water, no part of Arizona can surpass Yuma eeunty, which is destined to become one of richest and most prosperous counties in ;arizon&.
 It lies between 32o O0> and 340 20' north fa4;tuae and il3o 2O| and ll4' 40' west Longitude. It contains 6.4SS, ,320 acres. It fs afout as large as the States of Rhode Island, Connecticut and Delaware com 4iRed, or as large as either New Hampshire, Vermont or Massachusetts.
 The western boundary of Yuma County Es formed by the Colorado river, which ea,nrates Arizona from California. The county is bounded on the north by Williams Fork and the Santa Maria river, whose arateqs flow into the Colorado; on the east av the counties of Pima, Maricopa and Navapai, and on the south by Sonora, Mexico. It's county seat is the town 0f Euma.
 The Colorado river drains the entire ter sitery of Arizona, and every drop ct water aybich falls on its mountains and plains .inds its way to this mighty river. It IS formed bY the union of the Green and srrsnd rivers. fed by the streams which rise in the Rocky Mountains, and the melt xug snows cause a greater depth ot water .;r tbis river in summer than ln winter. thus Furnishing the most water at the season sxhe;, it is most required for the purposes .,f irrigation and agriculture.
 1t will be seen that for the entire distance along its western boundary, Yuma County ,aossesses the great advantage of cheap water transportation.
 The Gfla river rises in the western part ,,f New Mexico and is fed by numerous streams, among the most prominent of ubicb are the San Pedro, Agua Fria, Has zaysrapa and Salt rivers. It flows west through Yuma County and empties into the s,ojorado st the town of Yuma.
 Yuma county, traversed by these great --;vers from its northern to it's southern, snd from its eastern to its western bound aries. possesses a far greater water supply shan any other county in the Territory, and far more than can be found in all Cali Eernia.
 This wster is SOW being diverted from Its natural channels by means of numerous large irrigating canals, and utilized for the .,urpose of retaining and irrigating the 5mmense tracts of lands which lie in thls Eavored country, and which arc as fertile ss any in the world.
 The Se;ItAern Pacific RailreGd crosses tie Colorado river at the town .of Yuma and guns afizough the county, following the ..,enerc5 course, and at an average distance .-f aaeut four milss south, of tho CTila river, -7endering aH the lands susceptible ot irri- 4atieo az,d cultivation, can find an easy --at:et in tssis way and can be transpol ted --o all .tas markets and centers ,d population ial the East CT West

GAN ONE LIVE COMFORTABLY?
 That again depends on what you expect. You cannot have the luxuries of our New York houses out there, unless you build one; or the variety of our New York markets, unless you charater refrigerator car. But there are hotels with almost as much frontage as the Waldorf; ard, like everything else in the Territory excepting the mountains and desetts, they are new. There are boarding houses of more kinds lhan enc; and brlck cottages of eight or ten rooms can occasinauy by rented. Bet-i ter than any of them, for the man with the energy and the plock to take 1t, is to tent on the desert; and he who knows how to 'camp out" with comfort through Septem Der In the Adirondacks can camp out ill Arizona throug1 the winter.
 As to food, there is plenty, and it is good-if you cap get it well cooked. The alfalfa fields of the Salt River Valley are the fatteuing ground for the great cattle ranges of the Territory. From there the markets of Los Angeles and even of Denver are largely supplied, Good beef, mutton and poultry arc plenty and cheap. Quail, ducks and venison from the vicinity can also be had.

extinct oceans. The great Colorado desert was once an inland sea. cut off centuries and perhaps ages ago from the main ocean, leav- ing its waters to evaporate in tbis lnteEse heat. Throughout all the country border ing the desert. including this section, rich mines arc being constantly discovered, and some of recent location are already produc- ing immense profits. In the neighborhood of Yuma, claims exceedingly rich on the surface are daily being located, and all signs portend great mining boom fer this county which will culminate as early as the coming fall in an inroad of much capital Experts are arriving every week and mines are being bonded at more than heavy prices. It seems wonderful to believe that all this min- eral wealth has been lying at our very doors for so many years without taker, but the tendency of prospectors is to go long dis tance of into strange lands rather than to seek for mines in county as old as Yuma County and so accessible. The greater the distance, the hardship, and the danger, the  greater the fascination for the prospector. Distance seems, indeed. to lend enchant- meut to the view.
 So it is that this county is almost a virgin field for the mine hunter, and now with the few hundreds searching Ill its mountains it's mineral secrets are still i'll effect secrets, for thousands upon thousands might be wander ing through the rock-ribbed fastnesses of our mountain ranges and their presence be almost unknown, so vast is the extent ef country
 Recent rich discoveries of gold deposits, particularly in lodges, have given great impetus to mining throughout the county
 New locations are being constantly made, and all show well upon the surface. The La Fortuna mine, recently put in operation, has 2)-stamp mill running night and day, and the production of gold averages $75, GOO per.month. This mine is situated about 90 miles southwest of the village of Yuma
 Rich gold discoveries have also been made in Castle Dome, Harqua Hala, Centennial Palomas, Pot Holes, and other mining dis tricts, and, although the mining outlook in the county was never better, still most ot the silver and lead mines are idle, owing to the low value of these metals.
