TRECLIMATE OF YUMA.

The climate cf Yuma for nine months of the year has no equal, as we believe, in the world, and during the remaining three months of the year, comprising June, July ,,nd August, the heat is not oppressive. I.ven though the; thermometer in mid-sum. her may aa times rise above l00', and oc
 .asionally even reach ll0', yet, owing to eShe absence of moisture in the air, it is not oppressive The atmosphere is pure, light and balny. When the mercury marks the highest oxtre~9s of heat, d porson docs not ee,l that oppression or debility which is Eeltjn the Eastern States when the mer-

CAN ONE LIVE COMFORTABLY?

That again depends on what.you expect. You cannot have the luxuries of our New York houses out there, rniess you build one; or the variety Of our New York markets, unless you charate a refrigerator car. But there are hctcls with almost as much frontage as the Waldorf; and, like everything else in the Territory excepting E the mountains and deserts, they are new. There arc 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 III the Adirondacks can camp out in Arizona througI the winter.
 As to food, there is plenty, and it is good-if you can get 1t 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 arc 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 long one.

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of ar 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 a new and ener- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people. while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small i'm. 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 goue a-begging for ownership. There is a scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lenders than this.
 Arizona has reached that climacticer period which every western state has ex- perienced sometime in its history when. after long and weary struggle and doubt, with each4ide of the balance first up and then down, the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and sunburst of energizing hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the con- pletion of two transcontinental lines of railroad across her territory-Arizora has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- fund of substantial wealth

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 directly within the main gold belt that commences ill Alaska and ends in Mexico. From the San Bernardino 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 gold mines are found bordering the beds of

Brief Statement of Facts Setting Forth the Inducements by County of Residence

A white man 61st set foot on nat is BOW Yuma County in 177l. It is the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter rit5ry, Many great recia nation projects are however on foot, and in few years ex- pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest iu the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali 30rnia catches of Arizona is that of the picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugly situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills, upon whese crests and sides the modern homes of our superior civilization aro crowding the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to Ar1gona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undegeloped riches the eyes of the country are Rt present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that she is the center ef a country whose agricultural possibili- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting oaly water to become a paradise of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction Is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters of the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

Its Attractions and Advantages as q
 Place of Residcn ce in Winter.

Whiteiaw Reid. owner and editor of the New York Tribune, who has spent the last two winters in AI.zona for the benefit of his health, writes entertainingly and in structively concerning that part of the country. Mr. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as d place for winter residence, and there appears to he such a deartb of pre- else information among many who are vi5aIly 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 ill the open air at some time or other during tEe day. Of course there were Q good many days which weather observer would de- scribe as cloudy" and some that were ''showery; but during these five months NlioD NOhChiNSlJ ICOOs CO hdyJ lO0Osj there were enly four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dur ing the day.

RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.


 In regard eo climate, heaIthfulness, fer gility and productiveness of soil, facilities fer cultivation, irrigation and abundance of water supply, variety of resources and cheap transportation by rail and by water, no part of Arizona can surpass Yuma county, which is destined to become one of richest and most prosperous counties in Arizona.
 It lies between 32o O0' and 34' 20' north latitude and Il3' 2O' and 1l4o 40' west longitude. It contains 6.4SS, ,320 acres. It is about as large as the States of Rhode Island, Connecticut and Delaware com bised, or as large as either New Hampshire, Vermont or Massachusetts.
 The western boundary of Yuma County is formed by the Colorado river, which separates Arizona from California. The county is bounded on the north by Williams Fork and the Santa Maria river, whose waters flow into the Colorado; on the east by the counties of Pima, Maricopa and Tavapai, and on the south by Sonora, Mexico. It's county seat is the town of Yuma.
 The Colorado river drains the entire ter ritQry of Arizona, and every drop Of water which falls on its mountains and plains dnds its way to this mighty river. It is formed by the union of the Green and Grand rivers, fed by the streams which rise in the Rocky Mountains, and the melt ing snows cause a greater depth of water in this river Tn summer than in winter. thus furnishing the most water at the season when it is most required for the purposes ,of irrigation and agriculture.
 It will be seen that for the entire distance along its western boundary, Yuma County possesses the great advantage of cheap water transportation.
 The Gila river rises in the western part of New Mexico and is fed by numerous streams, among the most prominent of which are the San Pedro, AGua Fria, Has sayampa and Salt rivers. It flows west through Yuma County and empties into the Colorado at the town of Yuma.
 Yuma county, traversed by these great rivers from its northern to it's southern, and from its eastern to its western bound. aries, possesses far greater water supply than any other county in the Territory, and far more than can he found in all Cali. fernia.
 This water is now being diverted from its natural channels by means of numerous large irrigating canals. and utilized for the purpose of retaining and irrigating the immense tracts of lands which lie in this favored country, and which are as fertile as any in the world.
 The Southern Pacific Railroad crosses the Colorado river at the town of Yuma and runs through the county, following the generol course, and at an average distance of about four miles south, of the Gila river, rendering all the lands susceptible of iryi- cation and cultivation, can find an easy outlet in this way and can be transpol ted .to all the markets and centers of population in the East or West
 Another competing railroad is projected sfrom San Diego, California, to the town of Yuma, aEd thence along the north side of the Gila river. Thus Yuma County will -save exceptional railroad advantages.

The Connecticut legislature will not adjourn this week. Tuesday the house repealed the peach yellow law. The com mittee on conference on the good roads bill, of the house and senate, were unable to agree, and the house has appointed a new committee. In the senate Wednes- day substitute bill for the bill (adverse- ly reported) regarding the granting of li- censes in Branford was passed. It pro- vides that when any voting district has voted, or shall hereafter vote against the granting of liquor licenses, though the towns in which such districts may vote for license, the county commissioners having jurisdiction may refuse to grant licenses in such voting districts, and all laws prohibiting the sale or delivery of spirituous and intoxicating liquors in mo- license towns shall apply to voting dis tricts wherein majority have; voted against the license.
