There Is at present about 1l8
miles of irrigatlng canals and main
bitches, not including the lateral
bitches which will make the total
several times this amount. This
gives ample water to assure crops
for about $4,000 acres. When the
Enterprise canal is finished it will
water several thousand acres of
rich table and bottom land. It'll
has been estimated that a quarter
of million acres of additional land |
could be irrigated if storage dams
were built. This could be done |
in several places, notably at the
narrows about Is miles from SAT- |
ford where box canyon exists
through which the river passes.
1t is from this point the Enterprise
company are building their canal.
Graham county covers an area
of 1000 square miles.
The ella valley is 35 miles from
the narrows to the edge of the res.
ervation, with an average width of
bottom lands Of Two miles, the dis
lance between the foot hills being
six miles. The valley is Hanked
on tbc north by the ella mountains
AMI on the south by the Graham
Mount Graham beingl
the highest peak, with an altitude
Of ten thousand feet above sea level.
Although but little prospecting
has been done in either the ella
or Graham mountains, the few
properties which have been de.
veloped show that the ore BODY
is practically inexhaustable; while
copper predominates, there is both
gold and silver in paying quantities
1t is a virgin field for both the
minor and captaltlst and one which
promises grand results.
The two principal mining COM
panies are the Detroit, at Morenci,
and the Arizona Copper Company,
At Clifton. The former employees
300 men and the latter 600.
The output of the Arizona comp,
any is 20 tons of copper per day
md of the Detroit about 10 tons
per day. These two companies
alone pay out for labor about $780,.
100 annually.
Experts are at present prospect
ng near Saffoad for coal.
There are twenty-five schools,
md one Academy in Graham
county. The examination for

| The agricultural resources of tn,
ella valley are both varid and ex
tensive, comprising an area o
arabic land Of which there is a
Ipresent tributary to canals anc
bitches, 100000 acres which il
capable of being irrigated. The
principal products are alfalfa, wheat
corn, barley, oats, vegetables, de
cidious andcertain classes of citrus
fruits.
This is the natural home OF
alfalfa, of which from a to s crops
are grown yearly, yielding from 5
to 8 tons per acre. 1t is not as
stocky as that which comes from
the Salt River valley and is pre-
ferable for either horses or cattle.
Wheat, barley and oats grow
prolifcly, the former containing a
very large amount of nutrition.
Yellow dent, white gourd and
other large varieties Of corn yield
productivity, vegetables are large
and solid and come to maturity
two months earlier than in the
eastern and middle states.
The valley and hin lands are
adapted to all OF the products of
the temporal zone, and many of
the fruits of the semi-tropical
countries. The apples equal in
size and flavor the prize winners
OF the eastern states. The seed
ling fruits are unexcelled in size
and general excellence. Apricots
and apples both grow with a sur
prising rapidity. The peaches in
and taste are identical
with those which come from the |
famous orchards of New Jersey.
Canagrie grows wild, some of
the tubers being as large as good |
sized potatoes. Tests now show
that canagrie root, which flourish
es near Thomas, In the lower por-
ton of the valley, contains a large
er per cent of fannie acid than any
ever sent to the extract works
from either Arizona or New Next
90.
Farming lands can be purchased
1t from $50 to 800 per acre, in
improvements and water
lights.
Uncultivated land without water
light is free to any settler under
he United States homestead law.
This class of farms will eventually
become valuable when the canal
ABILITIES have been increased.
The cost of maintaining the ca
halls which are owned by the farm.
