THE RICH OLD STIFF MINE

 wealfhy Men.

The Old Stiff mine, near Gro Blanco, resumed operations few days ago un- der the management of MessTs. Smith and Meyers, who have bonded the prop erty, according to the Tucson Ci;izen. MT. Smith is reported to have dropped 6 little wad of $5,000, 900 in the gold fields of South Africa, the returns of which were not cash, but a large in crease of experience. These gentlemen are eastern capitalists, who after inves- tigating the most famous mining re- gions in the world, came to Arizona, and find enough in sight to induce large investment, while so many Arizonlans are ready to break away to some new field of venture. They now employ thirty men in mine and mill together, and expect to increase the force as soon as places can be provided for them.

THE NEWS or FLAGSTAFF
A Visfor Frou inc Skylighf City
 Talks.

Dr. D. J. Brannen of Flagstaff is in Tucson on a visit to his brother, Phil Brannen of L. Zeckendorf 6 Co. The doctor came, says the Star, more espec- ially to see Lhe baby, of which he is the proud uncle. Dr. Brannen is con- sidered the leading physician and sur geon of northern Arizona. He has been a leading spirit in building up Flagstaff and at the same time has es- tablished himself in practice, profes- sional reputation as well as financially.
 The doctor says Flagstaff continues to move along pr0sperously. The new saw mill which is replacing the one de- stroyed by fire, wiilfbe the most com plete west of the Rockies. The city is putting in a big water plant, the main is laid to within four miles of town. The supply is inexhaustible which is a great mountain spring, fed from the everlasting snows of the San Francisco mountains. The spring is located six teen miles from Flagstaff, 1,500 feet above the city, which insures any pres sure desired. A reservoir, however, has been constructed near town, which is fed by ,he spring. Flagstaff is the most famous summer resort in the owing. to its close proximity to the Grand canyon.

AT THE HOT SPRINGS
A Charming Resort for He0Ifh
 and Pleasure Seekers
One of inc Best Mountain Roads In inc Country Leads 10 inc Springs From inc RaiIroad-A CozY HofeI and Fine Bathing FaciIifieS-Ef- feet of inc Water.

Castle Creek Hot Springs, Dec. IA
 Especial correspondence of The Repub- lican. .)-Of all the mountain resorts i1 the west, there is none that offers more advantages to one seeking rest and a change of air than fhe Castle Creek Hot Springs. Through the enterprise of the company that owns these springs this delightful resort is now reached without any of the discomfo~-s that formerly attended the journey. One may leave Phoenix early Saturday morning and be at the springs by noon One may leave Phoenix in the evening any other day in the week, stay ove1 night at Hot Springs Junction, where new hotel is now open, take the sage early next morning aud reach the springs in time for an early dinner.
 The mountain road leading from the junction to the springs is one of the best in the west. IL was constructed a year or more ago and is kept in first class repair. It leads across the desert from the junction, climbs the foothills and finally drops into Castle Creek only a short distance from the famous springs. A first class stage connects with the trains on the s. F. P. & P. road and the trip to the springs con- sumes only about four hours. Some charming views are unfolded in the foothills. At Valley View the Salt River valley is seen far 10 the south- west Where Cape Horn ears itself some of the most magnificent scenery in Arizona is revealed. On clear day, and is is unusual if .he day is not clear, the scenic effects are marvellous. One forgets the length of the journey in viewing natures handlwork. The dis tance is only about twenty-five miles and the time made is remarkable con sidering the grades that have to be overcome. At. this season of the year quail are plentiful in the mountains and frequently deer are seen. The eastern traveller is certain to be enter tained at every stage oe tho journey.
 To those who knew the hot springs before the present company secured the control the change in the re- sort comes in the form Of revela- tion. A new hotel has been construct ed on the site of the old barn and cor ral. It is roomy structure and thor oughly comfortable It is an ''L' shaped building and each room has an entrance on the inner court, which is embellished with a blue grass lawn and B fountain whose waters have delight fully soporific effect. A more comfort able room than the living room" of this hotel cannot be found Tn any part of Arizona. The room is finished with redwood and furnished with oriental couches, Morris chairs, a piano and a long reading table At night when the student lamps are lighted and one stretches ont In one of those comfort able chairs before the fire, with a good book in hand, the cares of the world disappear and one feels that here at

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 a more desirable region for the making of a home. No laborious clearing of the land is required; 1t lies almost ready for the blow Trees and shrubbery have so rapid Q 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 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 profatless can be made produc- tive by the construction of lrigating 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 fsoUntry. Pineapples, dates, almonds and waluuts will do well. Strawberries, rasp- berries, blackberies, cu-rants, 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 caG 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 he no better investment for capital seeking large and renumeratiye 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 aud 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 one long-con- tinued poem of happiness and delight, We can offer to capitalists an ideal field for in yestment and to home seekers a veritable paradise in which to settle.

MINES

There is no section of the United States. or probably of the earth, more rich in min efal wealth than the County of Yuma. An the country north, east and south of Yuma lies directly within the main gold belt that commences in Alaska and ends in Mexico. From the San F"ruardino mountains in California t0 the Sonora boundary line the mountains aud hills are exceptionally rich in the precious metal a though demonstrating tne theory often advanced that tine richest gold miao- arr .oeld bordering the beds of

extinct oceans. The great Colorado desert was once an inland seq, cut off centuries and perhaps ages ago from the main ocean, lcav ing it's waters to evaporate in this intense heat. Throughout all th5 country border ing the desert. including this section, rich 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 a great mining boom for this county which will culninate as early as the coming fall in aa 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 egal wealth has been lying at our very doors for so many years without a taker, but the tendency of proapectOrs is to go long dis tance off iDto strange lands rather than to seek for mines in county as old as Yuma County and so accessible. The greater the distance, the hardship, and the danger, the greater the fascination for the prospector. Distance seems, indeed, to lend enchant- ment to the view.
 So it is that this county is almost a virgin field for the mine hunter, and now with the few hundreds searching Tn its mountains its mineral secrets are still in effect secrets, for thousands upon thousands might be wander ing through the rock-ribbed fastneases 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, ,0OO per month. This mine is situated about 90 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 trcts, and, although the mining outlook in the county was never better, still most of the silver and lead mines are idle, owing to the low value of these metals.
