There is no section of the United States, or probably of the earth, more rich in min eral wealth than the County of Yuma. All the country north, east and south of Yuma lies 1irectly within the main gold belt that commences in Alaska and ends in Mexico. From the San R"rnardino mountains in California to the Sonora boundary line the mountains and hills are exceptionally rich in the precious metal, as though demonstrating the theory often advanced that the richest

Its 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 wint CTS 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 a place for winter residence, and there appears to be such dearth of pre- else information among many who are vitally interested, that it seems almost public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, few facts of personal observation.
 WEATHER.
 During a five months residence in Southern Arizona in winter there was but one day when the weather made it actually unpleasant for me to take exercise in the open air at some time or other during tke day. Of course there were good many days which weather observer would de scribe as cloudy" and some that were ''showery; but during these five months (from No ember, 1895, to May, lS96,) 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.

The government reports show a mean temperature for fourt teen years at the pres- ent territorial capital of 575 degrees in November, 59 degrees in December, 49 de- grees in January, 54 degrees in February, 6l degrees iu March and Eg de0reag &;

A white man first set foot on what is aow Yuma County in l77l. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and enc of the four original counties of the Ter -itcry, Many great reclamation projects are However on foot, and in few years eX- pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali fornia 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 are crowding tho 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,
 -.e is bound to grow and prosper with rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized But coupled with her geographl- cal position we find that she is the center of a country whose agricultural possiblll- ties 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 ot 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 of She yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

Showers, and indeed heavy rains are liable to occur in every month ot the year; hnt the actual number of rains seems to an eastern visitor strangely small. The average rainfall in Southern Arizona, as shown by the Government observations, IS hut S% inches per year.

 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; and, like everything else in the Territory excepting the mountains and deserts, they are new. There are boarding houses of more kinds than one; and brick cottages of eight or ten rooms can occasinally by rented. Bet ter than any of them, for the man with the energy and the pluck to take it, is to tent on the desert; and he who knows how to ''camp out" with comfort through Septem- Der Ill the Adirondacks can camp out in Arizona through the winter.
 As to food, there is plenty, and it is good-if you can get it well cooked. The alfalfa fields of the Salt River Valley are the fattening 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 are plenty and cheap. Quail, ducks and venison from the vicinity can also be had. Vegetables and fruits are abundant in their season, and sometimes the season is a long one.

WHAT ABOUT COTTON?

What is the probable outlook for
cotton? 1t is low down now, can it go
up to the prices of the early part of
this year? Upon what grounds can
prophecy of a rise be based? Is the
crop small Or large? Is the demand in
excess Of the production? The crop is
large and the supply fully equal to de-
mands. The price of cotton is from
$3.50 to $500 a bale below a year ago.
We mean the recent decline and the
fluctuations show that. What is a me-
dunn bale ~worth-not more than $25. co..
In 1870 a bale fetched 800. Probably
the decline has been mainly caused by
the excess of shipments to markets
over actual demand. The demand
abroad is also slack, rather Indifferent.
The American demand has been great
er perhaps than at any previous time,
but not so as to Europe. Then there
have been the great estimates, putting
the crop at 10, 900. 900 bales or more. It
will hardly be that, but it has affected
prices because buyers abroad have held
back. Then the high, radical, protec-
tive, robber tariff tax has interfered
with the profits and opportunities of
European manufacturers. There is a
decrease abroad in sales of goods made
from cotton, and that alone can ex-
plain the slack demand for raw cotton.
The great shortage in bread stuffs has
also had it's depressing, curtailing in
fuence. So with the crop now visible,
and the adverse causes operating as it
probable that cotton will go up soon to
s or 10 cents? If the shortage should
prove to be 1000, 900 bales, it ought to
cause some advance.
