sWhere?" l cried.
There had been in my minds eye
an elaborate image of the Clearmount
stage coach. Something colonial
something ancient and numbering and
picturesque, bearing with it an atmos-
phere of barbarism and paintiveness-
that was what / had looked to see.
should have accepted that high-wheel-
ed. faded vehicle of, i am since afraid,
my imagination alone, SCARED by In
dian arrowheads, and stained by time
and exposure with the feeling i had
got nv romance and my moneys
worth. But the Clearmount stage
coach is disappointment and a pain
to the sentimental traveller. 1t is an
open. four seated carriage. and the
driver a sarcastic Italian, who will not
allow one the reins. 1 climbed in. -
the same time my expectations pitch
ed themselves a trifie lower.
The sarcastic Italian jerked he
reins and the horses started. We went
bowling along a narrow sandstone
road three inches thick with pine and
brick-like dust. Masses of granite as
cended ledge upon ledge at our right,
and threw themselves sixty feet above
i'm towers and parapets against the
deep, blue sky. As we wound in and
out and always up. the mountains al
ready encircled MS. Their bare, pur-
pie slopes and dim submits. crowned
rarely with a thin frieze of pine trees,
then dry ravines and misty ridges
close against the sky, swept gracious
" into view and lowered in tremend-
Gus silence over the little road and
the un-romantic stage. All along the
way, coming from the SHOWS of Evans
mountain, forty miles in the blue dis
lance, the shallow, unrestfm Bear
Creek rushes below the road, between
it's banks of piled up rocks and bouid-
ers. The dull, green water, always
covered with gray and sparkling
foam, pours over ten hundred thous-
and obstacles while a sound like the
roar of falling rain, fills its little val
lev. At night have walked to it, and
drawn a curtain only to discover the
hill sides dry and moonlit, and the
black water throwing up a silver spray
as it gallops by.
On my first evening in Ciearmount
/ attended a country dance, given in
the long room above the postoffice. A
miscellaneous program opened the fes-
tivities. Three gifted young women,
with deliberately arranged hair, and
arms akimbo, sang "A Sweet Bunch
of Daisies in shrill soprano voices.
The belle of Clearmount began a
tragic tale of ''rooseans." and
..Roosheans," and murdered sires,
with beautiful confidence which
ebbed and flowed as her memory
failed her and she had to be prompted
in the first two lines of every verse;
and at last she retired, overwhelmed
with bushes, to where few raptu-
GUS SWANS received her clamorously.
A young Denver violinist played us
to heaven" with her wild, Hungarian
rhapsodies and at length the hoor
was cleared for dancing.
1t was a curious scene. All the in

wants and farm hand, attired conspic-
uously for the occasion, to the city

Its Attractions and Advantages as q
 Place of Residence in Winter.

Whitelaw Reid. owner and editor of the New York Tribune, who has spent the last two winters in Arizona for the benefit of his health, writes entertainingly and in structively concerning that part of the country. Mir Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as place for winter residence, and there appears to be such dearth Of pre- else information among many who are vitaIly interested, that it seems almost a public duty, to set down, in the simple { form, a few facts of personal observation

A white man first set foot on what is now Yrma County in l77l. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter ritory. Many great reclamation projects are however oil foot, and in few years ex- pect to See Yuma Courty rated as 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 snugy situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills, upon whose crests and sides the modern homes Of our superior civilization are crowding the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undereloped riches the eyes of the a5untry are at present turned, and as such,
 IS bound to grow and prosper with q ,apidity that at present can hardly be re- alza5. But coupled with her geOgraphi- cal position we find that she is the center ofa country whose agricultural possibili- 6es 7re practically unlimited, being sur rounded by a soil the fertility of which s..s,5s that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting only water to become paradise oi bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction fs taking place aud many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters ot the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth

RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.

RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.
 Tn regard to climate, healthfulness, fer tility and productiveness of soil, facilities for cultivation, irrigation and abundance Of water supply, variety of resources and ebeap 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 320 OO' and 340 20' north latitude and lI30 2O' and ll40 40> west longitude. It contains 6,4SS, 32O 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 seuarates Arizona from California. The county is bounded on the north by Williams Fork and the Santa Maria r1ver, whose waters flow into the Colorado; on the east bv the counties of Pima, Maricopa and Yavapai. and on the south by Sonora, Mexico. Its county seat is the town ot Yuma.
 The Colorado river drains the entire ter ritory of Arizona, and every drop ct water which falls on its mountains and plains finds its way to this mighty river. 1t 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 riy.r Tn summer than Tn winter. thus furnishing the most water at the season when it is most required for the purposes firrigation and agriculture.
 It will be seen that for the entire distance iong its western boundary, Yuma County posst .ses the great advantage ot cheap water transportation.
 The Gila river rises in the western part of New Mexico and is fed by numerous streams, among the most prominent o1 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 shan any other county in the Territory, and far more than can be 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 irrig@ting 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 eenerol 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 ind an easy gutlet in this way and can be transported 9 all the markets and centers of population ia the East or West.
 Another competing railroad IS projected from San Diego. California, to tie town of Yuma, ard thence along the north side of the Gila river. Thus Yuma County will have excentional railroad advantages.

The atmosphere is singularly clear, tonic and dry. 1 have never seen It clearer anyw here in the world. It seems to have about the same bracing and exhilarating qualities as the air of the Great Sahara in Northern Africa, or of the deserts about Mount Sinai. in Arabia Petraea. It is much drier than Tn the parts of Morocco, Algiers or Tunis usually visited, and drier than any part of the Valley of the Nile north of the First Cataract. It seems to me about the same in quality as the air on the Nile between Assouan and Wady- Halfa, but somewhat cooler.

IS IT A LAWLESS COUNTRY?

The man who goes to any considerable Arizona town with the idea of the South. west derived from novels, or from ssThe Arizona Kicker, will be greatly mystifed. He will lind as many churches as in towns of corresponding size in Pennsylvania or Ohio; and probably more schoolhouses. He will find plenty of liquor-snops. too. and gambling houses, and dancehouses, and vet he will sec little disorder unless he hunts
 late at night for it, and he will be apt to tind-as at Pheenix-a community of ten thousand people requiring in the daytime only one policeman, and hardly requiring him. During my winter there did not see single disturbance in the streets. or half dozen drunken men, all told. Min ing men and an occasional cow boy certainly had quarrels, sometimes, in the disorderly quarters at night; and there were stories ot the use of the knife among Mexicans: but the visitor who went about his own business had as little trouble as on Board way or Chestnut street. The Pima and Maricopa Indians, who are encountered everywhere. have been friendly with the whites for generations, and there isn't an Apache within some hundreds of miles.
