 "Besides the fruits already mentioned, tho or ange, lemon, lime, olive, fig, pomegranate, and others of the citrus family, can be grown success fully in the valleys of Southern Arizona. Orange trees are now in bearing in the Salt River valley and at Yuma; while the bananas is also being cul- tivated at the latter place. The Arizona orange in quality and flavor will compare favorably with the best California.
 Tn the valleys of the Colorado, the Salt and the Olla flvers there is room for thousands It is not too much to say that nowhere within the limits Of Vhls 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 growth that within eighteen months the immigrant can surround his abode with attractions WnIch would require years to mature in less favored chmates. Fruits ripen and are ready for market full month before the California product.

\ white man first set foot on. what i, flow Yuma County in l77I. 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 cn foot, and in few years ex- pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali fornia catches cf 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 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 undeveloped riches She eyes of the country are at present turned, and as such, ..c is bound to grow and prosper with rapidity that at present can hardly be re- sGzed. But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that she is the center of country whose agricultural possibili- tics are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by a soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting oaly water to become paradise of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place aad many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters of She yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

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 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 see little disorder unless he hunts late at night for it, and he will be apt to tnd-as at PhOenix-a community of ten thousand people requiring in the daytime only one policeman, and hardly requiring him. During my winter there I 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 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 the whites for generations, and there isn't an Apache within some hundreds of miles.

From tine San Rcrnardino mountains in California l. the Sonora boundary line the mountains and hills are exceptionally rich in the precious metal, as though demonstrating Gle theory often advanced that the richest gold mines ne found bordering the beds of

RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.

In regard to climate, healthfulness, 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.
 t lies between 320 0O' and 340 2O' north latitude and lI30 2O' and ll40 40' west longitude. It contains 6. ASS, ,320 acres. It Is about as large as the States of Rhode Island, Connecticut and Delaware com bired, or as large as either New Hampshire, Vermont or Massachusetts.
 fne western ',v,.rndat of SE,,i,o- County is formed by the Colorado river, which separates Arizona from California. The county is bounded on the north by Williams Fork and the Santa Maria rIver. whose waters flow into the Colorado; on the east by the counties of Pima, Maricopa and Yavapai, and on the south by Sonora, Mexico. Its county seat is the town of Yuma.
 The Colorado river drains the entire ter ritory Of Arizona, and every drop ot water which falls on its mountains and plains finds 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 sncws cause a greater depth of water in this riv- 1T ID summer than In 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 long its western boundary, Yuma County posse .ses the great advantage Of cheap water transportation.
 The Gila river rises ill 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 Fayampa 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 it's northern to its southern, and from its eastern to its western bound aries, possesses a far greater water supply chan any ether county in the Territory, and more than can be found in all Cali fernia.
 This water ia now being diverted from its natural channels by means of numerous la.ge irr;gatng canals, and utilized for the purpose of rcclaimiug and imigeting tine inmense tracts Of lanGs which lie in this favored country, and which are as fertile 4s any in the world.
 The Southern Pacific Railroad crosses the Colorado riyerat the town of Yuma and runs through the county, following the renerol course, and at an average distance af about four miles south, of the GiIa river. -erderin, all the lands susceptible of irri- cation agi cultivation, can ind an easy outlet in this Way and can be transported ; otil the markets and centers of population sn the East or West.
 AnoGor competing railroad is projected ( :ron San Diego. California. to tie town sf Yuma, aEa thence along the north side ! af the Gila river. Thus Yuma County will gave exceptional railroad advantages. s
