During the winter months It's very
pleasant there, but dnring the summer,
especially in July and August, the Their

sometimes all night. The s. P.zHote

windows very wide and extending to the
floor so n person can roll his bed right
out on the porch which makes livery
comfortable sleeping. just back OF the

the ella river, the penitentary issituated.
A nnMber ofgoId mines have been
found OF late in this vicinity SO the city
is quite lively at present new parties are
continually coming in from or going
out on n tour or getting ready to
take one expecting to find some OF that
bright glittering yellow metal. On any
street at any time OF day may be seen
groups OF Indians, some playing like
little children, while others apparently
had nothing in view When You leave
Yuma for the Pacific You keep going
down grade for a couple Of hundred
miles till YOU get to Il place called Vol

is no vegetation. nothing to be seen but
the bright shining sand and that sizzling

After dinner you will travel two or three
hours before YOU notice anything OF in

your head, lemons as large as your list

Rarther you will notice the beautiful
roses, Gala lilies growing along beside
the road as common as dandeIoin or
thIsties i'm Wisconsin, besides there are
innumerable other flowers of all varities.
of course these are down in the valleys
while mp ON the mountains can be seen
plenty of snow. 1t is fine sight for a
person that has never had an Opportui-
