extinct oceans. The great Colorado desert was once an inland sea, cut off centuries and perhaps ages ago from the main ocean, ieav- ing it's waters to eyaporate in this inteEso heat. Throu: bout all the country border ing the desert, including this section, rich mines are being constantly discovered, and some of recent location are already produc- ing immense rSoits. Il the neigbborhood of Yuma, claims exceedingly rich on the surface are daily being located, and all signs portend q greet mining boom for this county which will eliminate as early as the coming fan in an inroad of much capital Experts are arriving every week and mines are being bonded at more than heavy prices. IL seems wonderful to believe that all this nm eral wealth has been lying a5 our very doors for 50 many years without g taker, but -he tendency of prospectors is to % 8 long dis tance of into strange lands rather than t3 seek for mines in a county as old as Yuma County and 50 accessible. The greater the distance, the hardship, and the danger the greater the fascination for the prospector. Distance seems, indeed, to lend cnchant- nlalt to the view.
 So it is that this county is almost virgin field for the mine huAter, and now with the few hundreds searching ln it's mountains it's mineral secrets are still in effect secrets, for thousands upon thousands might be wander ing through the rock-ribbed fastnesses Of our mountain ranges and their presence be almost unknown, so vast is the extent ef country.
 Recent rich discoveries of gold deposits, in ledses, have given a great impetus to mining throughout tAe county.
 New locations are being constantly made, and all show well upon the surface. The La Fortuna mine, recently put in operation, has 2)-stamp mil running night and day, and the production of gold averages S75, ,000 per month. This mine is situated about 50 miles southwest of the village of Yuma.
 Rich gol1 discoveries have also been made in Castle Dome, HarQua Halo. Cen.saataI, palonas, Pot Holes, and other mining dis tr.cts, and, al,h3u | tas mining oa5.3o: il tAc county was never better, s5iu most ot the silver and lead mines are idle, oa.na to the low value oi ta.se nct2ls.

RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.

RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.
 In regard to climate, healthialness, fer tility and productiveness of soil, facilities for 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.
 1t lies between 320 O0' and 34o 20' north latitude and lI30 2O' and lI4' 4O' west longitude. It contains G.4SS. .320 acres. It is about as large as the States Of Rhode Island, Connecticut and Delaware com biXed, 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 Ferk and the Santa Maria river, whose waters flow into the Colorado; on the east by the counties of Pima, Maricopa and Yavapai, and oa the south by Sonora, Mexico. It's county seat is tne town Of Yuma
 The Colorado river drains the entire ter rit2ry of Arizona, and every drop ot water which fails 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 m summer than n 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 its southern, and from its eastern to its western bound. aries, possesses a far greater water supply than any other county in the Territory, and far more than can be found in all Cali Eeruia.
 This water is ROW being diverted from its natural channels by means of numerous large irrigating canals, and utilized for the purpose of retaining and irrig2ting the immense tracts Of lands which lie in this favored country, and which arc 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 irri- cation and cultivation, can fnd an easy outlet in this way and can be transpol ted D all the markets and c2nters of population ir the East or West
 Another competing railroad is projected from San Diego, California. to the town of Yuma, aGd thence along the north side of the Gila river. Thus Yuma County will have exceptional railroad advantages.

The atmosphere is singalarly clear, tonic and dry. 1 have never seen 1t clearer anyu here in the world. It seems to have about the cane bracing and exhilaratiDg qualities as the air Of the Great Sahara in Northern Africa, or of the deserts about Mount Sinai. in Arabia Petraea.

THE CLIMATE OF YUMA.

Even though the thermometer in nIld-sum- .ner may a2 times rise above lG0', and oc- cosionally even reacn llU0, yet, owing to *he absence Of moisture in the air, it IS not oppressive.

This is extremely slight, everywhere in Arizona, as compared with any eastern climate in the United States. The air is driost on the high mesas, remote from saowclad mountains or forests, and in the desert valleys, where no considerable irri- gation has been begun. Wberevet irrga- ton is carried on on a large scale, the percentage of humidity in the atmosphere must be somewhat increased, although to au eastern visitor it is scarcely perceptihle. The same Government observations al ready cited show relative humidity, ct Phoenix or Tucson, averaged for weeks, f,on morning and evening readings. at less t'an ha,f the ususl humidity on dry days il Ne" York General Greedy, in pub Ncation from tAs Weather buIean, gave the no,nal weight o( aqueous vapor ia the Arizona air as from 151z to : grains per c.bic loot.

IN many parts of the coun-
try, but without attracting much mo-
tice. Recently 1t has sprung into some
prominence as forage plant for the
semi-arid portions of the COUNTRY, and
astonishing claims are made for it in
certain newspaper articles which are
attracting wide attention. Kaffir corn
Is one Of the many non-saenharine va
rfeties OF sorghum. In common with
other sorghums, both sweet and non
saccharine, kafir corn appears TO sue
coed quito well in climates too dry for
the best development of Indian corn.
While kaftir corn may well claim the
attention of farmers living in very dry
climates, 1t Is at least an open ques-
ton, whether it can prove adyan-
tageous 10 the farmers OF indiana. 1t
should be borne in mind that the
sorghums are recommended as forage
plants for the drier climates in which
Indian corn cannot thrive. Where In
dian corn grows TO perfection. as it
does in all portions Of Indiana. II
would be extremely unwise to neglect
1t for any OF the sorghums which have
thus far shown no special adaptation
to this section. Although the kaffir
corn and other sorghums have shown
no superior merit in previous trials at
this experiment station, the former will
be more thoroughly tested here the
coming season. Farmers having very
dry. warm soils. will do well to grow
small areas Of kafIir corn along side the
common field corn for comparison.
Those who intend trying kafir corn,
1 should remember that 1t is said to be
very sensitive to cold. especially when
terminating. The ground may be pre-
1 pared at the same time and in the same
manner as for common field corn, but
the planting OF the kafir corn should
be delayed until late in May or early
| in June. Meanwhile, the prepared
ground should be cultivated from time
to time as weeds appear, so that it will
be cleared Of weeds before the seed Is
planted. Put into clean ground thus
late. the seed will terminate more
promptly. and the early growth which
Is slow at best, will be more vigorous
1 than IL planted early and the subse-
quent labor Of cultivation win be con-
slderably reduced. If much seed Is de-
sired, plant the same as sweet sor-
ghum. II sorghum hay is desired
Il is recommended that one BUSH
Ell Of seed be sown broadcast, or three
pecks to the acre in drills. Al the
Kansas experiment station the red
kafir corn yields more grain ana fod.
der than the white variety, and II con.
sidered superior to the latter Nv. G.

It is very singular how the fact OF =
mans death often seems to give people
truer idea OF his character. whether
for good or for evil, than they have
ever possessed while he was living and
acting among men. Death is so geRu-
inc a fact that it excludes falsehood,
or betrays its emptiness; it is touch
down that proves the gold, and dis
honors the baser metal. Could the
departed, whoever he may be, return
in week after his decease. he would
almost invariably find himself at a
higher or lower point than he has
formerly occupied on the scale Of pub
lie appreciation.

California amounted to S350,000. Be-
sides, there were. however, also ex-
ported 5000 tons Of mussel shells, the
value OF which was estimated at a
further s1,250,O00. The pearl-fshing
with appurtenances forms the entire
occupation Of the natives, and La Paz.
the capital for this trade in the PENN
sula, exists exclusively upon this in
dustry. Until a few years ago only
native divers had been employed, and
the greatest depth to which they could
dive was thirty-fve feet. Upon the
introduction OF the modern diving app
paratus a depth of $50 feet was accom-
plished, and while formerly the best
divers could not remain longer than
two minutes under water, modern
diver thinks nothing Of staying for two
hours at depth of 100 feet, although
at still greater depth the stay is nee
essarily shortened on account of the
enormous volume of water above.
