All night the heavens marshal star on star,
From sun to brilliant sun,

By waters cool aud blHe.

But nush ue,perIsp spples all The year,

Resources
 of Yuma COun tV.
YUMA COUNTY.

< white man first set foot on what is sow Yrna County in I'll. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and Sne of the four original counties of the Ter ait3ry. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in a few years ex- pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali 3ornia catches of Arizona is that of the picturesque town of Yuma, which is snuGiy situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills, upon whose crests and sides the modern homes ef cur superior civilization are cro.,ding the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon W hose undeYeloped riches the eyes of the country are al present turned, and as sach, she is bound to grow and prosper with a rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alzed. But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that she is the center of 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 only water to become 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 feot to supply the life-giving waters Of 3he yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

WHY CAPITAL SHOULD SEEK YUMA COUNTY

"Hf CAF1IAL ShOULB SGEh YUMA COUNTN Because it's mines are the richest.
 Because it's grazing lands are the best.
 Because it's farming lands are valuable and productive.
 Because it gives assurance of the largest returns on money invested.
 Because its grand resources are yet to be developed.
 Because 1t is 8 young, growing county with an assured future.
 Because the opportunities for engaging in manufacturing enterprises are better than in any other region of the West.
 Because good mining properties can be had at reasonable figures.
 Because there is demand for additional facilities for ore reduction.
 Because there are vast stretches of rich soil to he reclaimed by the construction of irrigating canals.
 Because there are large tracts of grass lands that can be utilized by the sinking ot artesian wells.
 Because there are many openings ina new country which cannot exist i'll older com munities.
 Because the opportunities for engaging in the successful cultivation of semi-tropic fruits are better than in any other part of the United States.
 Because property values are rapidly ad- vancing.
 Because Arizona's boom is yet to come.
 Because it is a virgin field, ready for the seed which will produce golden harvest,

Tucson and Phoenix. The first is near the sea level; is tho warmest and probably the drics5 of the thc2e, has the least population, and the smallest provision for visitors
 Tucson is the oldest town in the Territory and, after Santa Fe, perhars the oldest in the Southwest. Its adobe houses give 1t a Mexican look, and are thoroughly comfort able. Its newer houses are of Q hand some building stone, found in the vicinity Tie Territorial University is here, and 1t was formerly the capital. Its elevation being more than double that of Phoenix, it is somewhat cooler, and as there is next to no irrigation ne5r 1t, the air is a little drier. Phoenix is the centre of the greatest irriga- tion in tie Territory. The country for miles around smiles with green fields, cover ed with almost countless herds Of cattl;, and it is everywhere shut in ny lon mount aims. It is She Territorial capital, has the Government Indian School, the Territorial Lunatis Asylum, and other institutions, e-it'i Is tiiC sSllC.ttA lOcuS IJE IIe ISTTICOfN Like Tucson, 1t has its occasional wind and sand storms perhaps not quite so often. At either place visitors who know how hO adapt themselves to circumstances can be entirely comfortable, and in each they will find an intelligent, orderly, enterprising and most hospitab!e community. They will find country full of mines, full of rich agricultural lands, abounding in cattle and hor:es, in vineyards and orchards and the beginnings of very successful orange groves "a country, in fact, as full of promise for hardy and adventurous men now as Califor- mia was in the:ffties. Above all, it has been their lot to search for health in far countries, they will revel in the luxury of being in their own land, among their own couatrymen, within easy reach of their friends by telegraph or rail, and in climate as good of its kind as any in the world.
The Arizona sentinel., 1897-03-27
RAIN

Showers, and indeed heavy rains are liable to occur in every month of the year; but 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 but 81I inches per year.

acres, now prc'itlcss, can he made productive by the construction of irrG95T2 ditchos and tIcT- is TO investment which assures larger CT more permanent gaturns"
 The foregoing statements are rot exaggerated, in fact they fall short of doing justice to ths wc:l derfui land. Pireapplos, dates, almonds and waj- nuts will do well. Strawberries, raspberries black berries. currants ooscberres and all varieties of small fruts can be successfully cultivated Indeed, Yuma County is rot only the natural home oI the citrus and semi tropical fruits, almost every fruit, nat, plant, grain, grass vegetable whioh eau be produced in either tropic temperate cone will thrive in it's rich and fertile soils.

ains and deserts The man who looks for either the beauty 6f the seductive excite meut of Monte Carlo will not find it. As little will he 6rd the historic remains or the cosmopolitan attractions of Egypt; nor could he reasonable expect the amusements and luxuries of our own Eastern cities. The people of Arizona are still chiefly busy in the pioneer work of subduing it to the residence and uses of civilized man. But 1t has two transcontinentaI lines Of railw ay with numerous feeders; it has fast mails, and rival telegraph lines, and is throbbing with the intense life of the splendid West.
 The two principal towns in the south ern portion, chiefly sought for their climatic advantages, are Phoenix and Tucson Each of them las ten thousand inhabitants or more. Tkey have the electric light, tele- phones, trolley cars, plenty of hotels, banks, bookstores, good schools, churches, an occasional theatrical performance, some times lecture or 6 circus, often a horse II~Os ']u'A; III CtiO . SPiluS' d IuOlOuSLAy curious and interesting ''6esta." For the cest, people must take their amusements with them. Good horses are abundant and cheap, and there are plenty of cow boys-the genuine article-to show what horses can do. The driving for fifteen or twenty miles in almost any direction from Phoenix, is nearly always easy. The roads are apt to be dusty; but there IS one we'll sprinkled drive of six or eight miles; and since the winds are quite regular in their direction, it is rarely difficult to choose a route or which the dust will be largely carried away from you. The unbroken desert itself is often as easy to drive over as an Eastern highway, and the whole valley is paradise for bicyclers, or eques- trains.
