VALLEYS OF THE COLORADO AND
 CHA,

In the valleys of the Colorado and the Gila rivers there is rosm for thousands. It is not too much to say that nowhere within the limits of this broad Unjoz can be foun q a more desirable region for the making of 6 home. No laborious clearing of the land is required; 1t lies almost ready for the blow Trees and shrubbery have so rapid growth that within eighteen months the immigrant can surround his abode with attractions which would require years to mature in less favored climates. Fruits ripen and are California products. The bright sunshine makes life luxury, and the pure dry atmos- phere brings health to all who inhale it. For the establishment of colonies, such as arc made in southern California, Arizona pre- sents uurivaled opportunities. Thousands of acres now proftless can be made produc- tive by the construction of irrigating ditches, and there is no investment which assures larger or more permanent returns,
 The statement in this article on Yuma county are not exaggerated; in fact they fall short of doing justice in this wonderful bit of country. Pineapples, dates, almonds and waluuts will do well. Strawberries, rasp- berries, blackberries, entrants, gooseberries, and all varieties of small fruits can be suc- cessfully cultivated. Indeed, Yuma County is not only the natural home of the citrus and semitropical fruits, as almost every fruit, nut, plant, grain, grass, or vegetable which can be produced in either trop;c of temperate zones will thrive in the rich and fertile soils.
 With the bright prospects ahead of the town Of Yuma and Yuma County there can be no better investment for capital seeking large and renumerative returns than is af- forded here. With a matchless climate, where all forms of disease known to the damp and rigorous regions of the east and north are unknown, where the bright sun shine kisses into bloom and fragrance every form of vegetation, and where the clear days and cool and balmy nights are enc longcon- tinued poem of happiness and delight, we can offer to capitalists an ideal field for in vestment and to home seekers a veritable paradise in which to settle.

Showers, and indeed heavy rains are liable to occur in every month of the year; bat 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 9H inches per year.

Uncle Richard Bland says the raise IN
wheat is due to scarcity, and that the
silver question has nothing TO do with 1t.
Is it not possible, Uncle Richard, II high
prices are produced by scarcity and have
no relation to silver, that low prices were
due to Righteousness and also had no re-
lation to silver? It's a poor rule that
doesn't work both ways, Uncle Richard.
We all know that wheat was plenty and
the cost of producing it much less than
ever before.

MYSTERY,
Crazy Man Turns Up in bad Lands"
Loaded with Wealth..

Loaded with Wealth..
The linn made arain that the IA
nous Lost Cabin" gold mine has been
found recalls the fact that the mine
has been found" before. The Lost
Cabin mine is in the bad Lands" in
wyoming, near the headwaters of the
Big Horn river, about sixty miles from
Fort Washaki. In 1874 five men set
out from the fort to prospect. A few
weeks after one of them, with his
pockets full of nuggets, wandered back
to the fort. His mind was completely
gone. All he could murmur was "lost
cabin" Expeditions were at once sent
out, but no trace was found of the mine
or the missing men, who it was sup
posed were killed by Indians. In 1884
cowboy rode into Fort Washaki and
SAID that he had found the lost cabin
by accident. AS every one believed
That the Lost Cabin mine was fabu-
lously rich, a crowd was soon ready
TO start with the discoverer. They
found decayed log cabin, with four
skeletons in or near it, and a tunnel
sunk in the hillside. The ore was
black and heavy, and the first man who
got out with muleload never went
back, for the assay showed no trace
of gold, nothing but plumbago. The
news of the finding of the Lost Cabin
got out, and for months miners flocked
there, only to be disappointed. After
awhile the excitement died out, and the
old mine was deserted. But still the
problem remains, where did the crazy
miner set his nuggets, and what be-.
came of his four companions. Per-
haps it has been solved this time.
Many prospectors think that the crazy
miner found his nuggets while away
from his party, and lost his mind as
we'll as his way in trying to return
to them.
