Resources
 of Yuma County.
 COUNTY.

A white nan first set foot on what is how Yuma County in l77l. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter ~itcry. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few years ex- pect to see Yuma Uourty rated os the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali fornia catches of Arizona is that of the picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugly situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills, upon whose crests and sides the modern homes of cur superior civilization are crowding the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose andeveloped riches the eyes of the Country are at present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with fapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. 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 oaly water to become a paradise ot bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gore 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 ot she yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

Tucson and Phoenix The first is near the sea level; is the warnest and probably the driest of the three, has the least population, and the smallest provision for visitors. Tucson is the oldest town in the Territory. and, after Santa Fe, perhaps the oldest in the Southwest. Its adobe houses give it a Mexican look, and are thoroughly comfort able. Its newer houses are of a handsome building stone, found in the vicinity. The Territorial University is here, and it 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 near it, the air is a little drier. Phoenix is the centre of the greatest irriga- tion in the Territory. The country for miles around smiles with green fields, cover ed with almost countless herds of cattle, and it is everywhere shut in by low mount aims. It is the Territorial capital, has the Government Indian School, the Territorial Lunatie Asylum, and other institutions, and is the general focus for tke Territory
 Like Tucson, it has its occasional wind and sand storms perhaps not quite so often. At either place visitors who know how to adapt themselves to circumstances can be entirely comfortable, and in each they will find an intelligent, orderly, enterprising and most hospitable community. They will find country full of mines, full of rich agricultural lands, abounding in cattle and horses, 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- nia 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 countrymen, within easy reach of their friends by telegraph or rail, and in climate as good of it's kind as any in the world.

DENVER, Feb. 22.-The week just
passed has witnessed the heaviest
snowfall and the greatest number of
snowslides in the mountainous por-
tions of Colorado since 1884. There
have been many fatalities, numerous
narrow escapes, and several persons
have been reported missing.
A dispatch from Breckenridge says !:
Mr.. Conway left Dillon with pack
train for Collier Mountain last Friday.
News has since been received that he
had been overwhelmed by slide which
buried his entire train. A party left
here to attempt his rescue, but little
hope is felt that he will be found alive.
Two slides came down during the
day into Imogene basin, near Ouray.
One demolished the buildings of the
Camp Bird mine, fatally injuring one
man, Potter E. Yehberg and burying
two others, who narrowly escaped
death. The other slide carried away
the ore house of the U. S. mine.

THE CASE OF DR.. RUIZ
Was Apparently Murdered in
His Cell by Order of
the SpaniardS.
Consul General Lee at First
Refused Permission to
See the Body.
Facts Cabled to Secretary o.
ney, But No Response
Is Received.

NEW YORK, Feb. ga dispatch to
The World from Havana says: DR..
Ricardo Ruiz, naturalized American
citizen, arrested on suspicion by the
Spanish week ago, was found dead in
his cell in the Guanabacoa jail last
Tuesday. The body bore marks of vio-
lence. The jailer, Fondeviela, said that
he died by suicide.
Consul General Lee sought the priv
elege of viewing the body and asked
for a full statement of the circumstan-
ces of his death. The Spanish at first
ignored both requests. General Lee
telegraphed to Washington. No reply
was received.
On Friday General Lee imperatively
demanded that the bod y of DR.. Ruiz be
turned over to him and that an autop-
sy be made by two physicians, one of
whom should be designated by General
Lee.
Beaten Beyond Recognition.
The Marquis of Ahumada, acting
captain general in place of General
Weyler, who is in the field, issued the
necessary order, but so long was the
delay that although Guanabacoa is less
than three miles from Havana, Cen
eral Lee was not admitted to the prison
there until Friday, barely in time to
stop the burial of the American physi-
clan in plain coffin by squad of
| negro Spanish servants. When the
coffin was opened it was found that DR..
Ruiz face had been so battered with
blows and so cut with wounds as to be
| almost unrecognizable. The other
prisoners said that piercing cries were
heard from his cell on the night of his
death General Lee could reach no
other conclusion than that DR.. Ruiz
| had been murdered. He Immediately
ordered an autopsy to be made, the re-
suit of which is not yet known.
Another Similar Case.
He cabled the results of his investi-
cation to the state department but
again no response came. In the mean-
time Scott, another American, has been
kept IL days i'll solitary confinement
at Regla, just across the bay from Ha-
vana. General Lee has been refused
permission to see him. This is plain
violation of treaty rights. 1t is feared
that he, too, has been slain.
Dr. Ruiz was naturalized American
citizen. He studied and practiced
dentistry i'll Philadelphia for some time
and returned to Cuba about the begin
ming of the present insurrection. The
charge upon which he was arrested was
conspiracy. He is highly spoken OF
