Schreiner who made the proposition
that $40 be awarded out Of the treasury
to the member catching the largest fish.
Everybody agreed, for every man in the
Columbia Fishing club thinks he's the
only one "in it" when it comes to cap
turing the clubs legitimate prey.
When the days sport was over, Mill
and Schreiner each claimed to have
caught the biggest fish. Mills certainly
looked bigger, but Schreiner contended
that the size of fish, whale or sucker,
was reckoned by weight. That Of course
could not be denied, SO the scales we're
brought out at the clubhouse. Schrei-
ner's fish was four inches shorter than
Mills and of the same breed. 1t wasn't
a bit bigger in girth either. But the
scales showed it weighed a quarter Of
an ounce more than Mills.
"Sure, Bob" said Schreiner, after he
got the $40. He's a lead eater and has

Once upon a time, when Schreiner Of

When Miss Leila Hamilton returned
to the old office on State street, she was
discovered to be as charming and girl
ish as ever, and it was also noticed that
certain callers whom she had been
wont to receive came no more.
It was further chronicled that there
were other things about Miss Hamilton
which were new and strange. When
the postman came and a letter was
handed to her-an event of three or four
times a Week.-Mrs. Hamilton would
turn a little pale and quickly hide it in
her waist.
A month later these events had their
explanation when Miss Hamilton came
to the Office with a sparkling object on
her engagement finger, and the vener.
able senior partner received her resigna-
ton to take effect soon.-Boston Globe.

 Because life is luxury in a land where the sun shines every day. Because there are chances for poor man which he can never hope to find in older countries.
 Because the country is advancing and property values are increasing.
 Because, unlike Southern California it does not require small fortune to secure a piece of land.

 Because the country is one of the few regions of the United States that yields the products of the temperate and semi-tropic zones.
 Because the worker receives fair com. pensation for his labor, and the hustler has a field for the display of his energy and en- terprise.
 Because there are neither blizzards or tornadoes, earthquakes nor inundations. snow-storms nor cyclones.

There is 1i0' section of the United States, or probably oH the earth, moro rich in liin- eral wealth than tke County of Yuma. al the country north, cast and south of Yuma lies 3iIectly within the main gold belt that Commences in Alaska and ends in Mexico. fro'> the San Bcrnardino mountains in California to the Sonora boundary line the mountains and hills are exceptionally rich ill the precious metal, as though demonstrating the theory often advanced that the richest gold mines are found bordering the beds of

 was once an inland sea, cut of centuries and perhaps ages ago from the main ocean, leav- ing its waters to evaporate in this intense heat. Throughout all the country border ing the desert, including this section, ,ich mines are being constantly discovered, and some of recent location are already produc- ing immense profits. In the neighborhood of Yuma, claims exceedingly rich on the surface are daily being located, and all signs portend q great mining boom for this county which will culmfnate as early as the coming fall in an inroad of much capital. Experts are arriving every week and mines are being bonded at more than heavy prices. It | seems wonderful to believe that all this min eral wealth has been lying at our very doors for so many years without taker, but the | tendency of prospectors is to go a long dis tance off into strange lands rather than to County and so accessible. The greater the distance, the hardship, and the danger, the 1 greater the fascination for the prospector Distance seems, indeed, to lend enchant- ment to the view.
 So it is that this county is almost virgin | field for the mine hunter, and now with the few hundreds searching in its 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 of country
 Recent rich discoveries of gold deposits, particularly in lodges, have given a great impetus to mining throughout the 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 mill running night and day, and the production of gold averages $75, 900 per month. This mine is situated about 30 miles southwest of the village of Yuma.
 Rich gold discoveries have also been made in Castle Dome, Harqua Hala, Centennial, Palomas, Pot Holes, and other mining dis tricts, and, although the mining or lCok in the county was never better, still hlost ot the silver and lead mines are idle, owing to the low value of these metals.

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 ''The Arizona Kicker" will be greatly mystifed. He will find as manJ churches as in towns of corresponding size in Pennsylvania or Ohio; and probably more schoolhouses. He will find plenty of liquor-shops. too, and gambling houses, and dancehouses, and yet he will see little disorder unless he hunts late at night for it, and he will be apt to hnd-as at Phoenix-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 cowboy certainly had quarrels, sometimes, in the disorderlv quarters at night; and there were stories of 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 tbe whites for generations, and there isn't an Apache within some hundreds of miles.

VALLEYS OF THE COLORADO AND
 CHA,

In the valleys of the Colorado and the Gila rivers there is roem for thousands. It is not too much to say that nowhere within the limits of this broad Union can be found more desirable region for the making of a home. No laborious clearing of the land is required; it lies almost ready for the blow. Trees and shrubbery have so rapid a 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 ready for market 3 full month before the 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 are made in southern California, Arizona pre- sents unrivaled opportunities Thousands of acres now prohtless 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 we'll 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 caa be produced in either tropic 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 matchless climate, where all forms of disease known to the damp and rigorous regions of the east and north are unknown, where the bright sum- shine kisses into bloom and fragrance every form of vegetation, and where the clear days and cool and balmy nights are one long-con- 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.

IS IT A PLACE FIT TO LIVE IN?

This depends on what one expects in a | huge, parsely settled Territory of mount
 aims and deserts. The man who looks for
 either the beauty or the seductive excite
 ment of Monte Carlo will not find it. As little will he find 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 transcontinental lines of railwa 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 has ten thousand inhabitants or more. They have the electric light, tele- phones, trolley cars, plenty of hotels, banks, bookstores, good schools, churches, an occasional theatrical performance, some- times lecture or circus, often horse race, and, in the spring. a thoroughly curious and interesting "iesta." 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 on 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- trians.
