New YORK, May s4.-The veriscope
exhibition Of the Corbett.Fitzsimmons
fight attracted IN immense audience to
the Academy Of Music Saturday night
The place was packed and hundreds
were turned away, even standing room
being at premium. On the whole
the pictures must be counted a success.
Now and then there were breaks and
the views were occasionally very
dim, but the important rounds, nota-
bly, the sixth and l4th, were ex-
ceptionally clear. In the latter every
eye in that vast audience was strained
to catch the alleged foul blow, but
It is quite certain that not one succeed
ed. Even the knockout blow could
hardly be caught by the eye, so rapidly
did both the pictures and, apparently
the fighters move The enthusiasm
was as intense as though an actual
fight was in progress and at the finish
the entire audience seemed TO be on
Its feet, bowling itself hoarse. The
pictures depicting the agony on Cor.
belts face are the clearest of the lot.
The scenes showing the attempt Of
Corbett to get at Fitzsimmons after
his defeat, the seconds separating the
men, the crowds jumping into the
arena, the Carson audience in STAN

zona. Great changes have been made in t e appearance of this part of the valley during the last four years. 1t was about that tone ago that the Florence canal was completed and the work of actual improvement begun. It is useless to deny that under our present water system there is nothing like a sufti- cient water to irrigate this vast body of land
 THE CASA GHANDE VALLEY CANAL is forty three miles in length and covers 60000 acres of land. about 1000 of which are under cultivation. Ii is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and it's capacity in- creased. A reservoir covering 1900 acres, having storage capacity of eight billion gal Ions, in the southeast corner of township 6, range & gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below it, but those above suffer by 8 shortage of water during few weeks in summer.
 1t is proposed to remedy this by the con- struction of Q huge reservoir at the Buttes fifteen miles northeast of Florence. Con- potent engineers have examined and reported upon the scheme and pronounce it feasible.

sUNsrRoKR IS UNKNOWN

In fact in a residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat, and they recovered. Their condition. however, was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that registered temperature of 110 degrees is not as oQpres- sive as 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact, and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be fulls 90 degrees. At nearly all times there is d pleasant breeze; the nights are invariably cool in the summer, and outdoor labor is either man or beast on the warmest days. Very seldom does the thermometer get be- low the freezing point in winter, and in the gardens of Florence to-day are castor bean plants two years or more old,

But for all that, the wonderful Casa Grande valley is something better than a health resort.

Wild Scramble at Seattle to Board First
Boat Bound Tor the North.
SEATTLE, Wash, July 20. What may
develop into the most stupendous
exodus of people from the United
States in the entire history Of this
country, and rivaling the marvellous
settling of California in 1915, began
here yesterday. The objective point
of the rush is the Klondyke
gold fields in Alaska, and the
impelling force is the gold-hunting
fever that now affects every man
and woman in this community.
Trembling with Impotence and flushed
with hopes and envy at the stories of
others wonderful luck, throngs of
half-crazed people, herded with sheep
and horses on board the steamer Alki
yesterday, lest they should miss the
first chance to go to the new Golconda.
The stories of returned miners loaded
with gold and tales of wealth still
hidden in the earth, have started a
fever among the residents of the Pa
cifc states. The first boat to leave for
Alaska was crowded, and the fever has
spread so much that San Francisco
capitalists are planning to build rail-
road from the mouth of the Yukon
river to the heart of the gold district
along the Klondyke river.
