G. A. Kins'ey ard W. l. Mcdonald. ot
Stockton, Cal. are ;wo miners who r.
turned or the AK from the Copper river
mining district. Their little pile has melt
cd away uutI they have barely enough 10
reach home. Yesterday. in conversation
with a Post-Intelligencer reporter. they
told their story. which they said they hop

proNt by it.
We left San Francisco last November
In a party OF seven. 4 company was form
I'd and each Of US took stock. When We
left We were assured by a man who said
he had been in the country that he would
put Us on good paying ground. We landed
AT Orca December II. From then uu,tl
month ago We had not been anywhere near
paying ground. and there is not the slight
est probability Of any one ever getting on
ground mat pays or even ground that gives
any color. In the Post-InteI:gencer This
morning I read Of where someone said that
provisions were so high that he was COM
ing out 20 gel an outfit. That man must
have been insane. Provisions are cheaper

extinct oceans. The great Colorado desert was once an inland ssa, cut off 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, 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 por5end a great mining boom for this county which will culminate as early as the coming l 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 oral wealth has been lying at our very doors for so many years without a taker, but the tendency of prospectors is to go a long dis tance off into strange lands rather than to seek for mines in a 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 in its mountains its mineral secrets are still in effect secrets, for ! thousands upon thousands might be wander ing through the rock-rbbed 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 ? )-stamp mill running night and day, and the production of gold averages S75, ,OOO per month. This mine is situated about 30 miles southwest of the village of Yuma. 1 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 outlook in the county was never better, still most ot the silver and lead mines are idle, owing to the low value of these metals.

VALLEYS OF THE COLORADO AND
 CHA,

In the valleys of the Colorado and the Gila rivers there is roem for thousands. Ii
 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; 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 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 ill southern California, Arizona pre-
 sents unrivaled opportunities. Thousands of acres now proftless can be made produc- i tive hy the construction of irrigatiug 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 i'll this wonderful bit of country. Pineapples, dates, almonds and waluuts will do well. Strawberries, rasp-
 berries, blackberries, entrants, gooseberries, and all varieties of small fruits can be sue 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 caI 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 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 vestment 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 eral wealth than the County of Yuma. An the country north, east and south of Yuma lies 3;rectly within the main gold belt that commences in Alaska and ends in Mexico
 From tine San Brrnardino mountains in California to the Sonora boundary line the mountains and hills are exceptionally rich in the precious metal, as though demonstrating the theory often advanced that the richest gold mines arc found bordering the beds of

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

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 rart 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 vitally interested, that it seems almost q public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, few facts of personal observation.
 WEATHER.
 During five months residence in Southern Arizona in winter there was but one day when the weather made it actually unpleasant for me to take exercise in the open air at some time or other during the day. Of course there were a good many days which 9 weather observer would de scribe as 'cloudy," and some that were shoTery; but during these five months (from No' ember, 1895, to May, lS96,) ) there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dur ing the day. Even more than Egypt, any, where north of Luxor, Arizona is the land of sunshine. As to details:
 TEMPERATURE.
 1 have seen the thermometer mark % degrees iu the shade on my north piazza in March. On the other hand, we had frosts which killed young orange trees, and there were several nights when thin ice formed The government reports show a mean temperature for fourt cen years at the pres ent territorial capital of 57! degrees in November, 53 degrees in December. 49 de grees in January, 54 degrees in February, GI degrees ill March and GG degrees in
