In the neighborhood of Yuma, claims exceedingly rich on the surface are daily being located, and all signs rorteAd great mining boom for this county
 which will culminate as early as the coming fall in an iEroad of much capital. Experts are arriving every week and mines are being bonded at more than heavy prices. It
 eems wonderful to believe that all this min
 ral wealth has been lying at our very doors .r so many years without a taker, but the :ndency of prospectors is to go long dis ance 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- nent to the view.
 Sc 1t is that this county is almost virgin tield for the mine hunter, and now with the few hundreds searching m its mountains its mineral secrets are still in effect secrets, for thousands upon thousands might be wander Jng 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 great impetus to mining throughout the county.
 New locations are being constantly made, aud all show well upon the surface. The La Fortuna mine, recently put in operation, has 2)-stamp mill running night and dag and the production of gold averages $75, GOO per month. This mine is situated about 50 miles southwest of the village of Yuma.
 Rich gold discoveries have alse been made in Castle Dome, Harqua Hala, Centennial, Palomas, Pot Holes, and other miring dis | tricts, and, although the mining Ct lCok in the county was never better, still ,lost ot the silver and lead mines are idle, owing to the low value of these metals.

h the valleys Of the Colorado and the Gila rivers there is roem for thousands. IL IS not too much to say that nowhere within the limits of this broad Unioa can be found 8 more desirable region for She making of 8 home. No laborious clearing of the lapA is rec aired; it lies almost ready for the plow Trees and shrubbery have so rapid growth that within eighteen months the immig ant can surround his abode with attract;C 1s which woul6 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 Jo all who inhale it. Fol 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 co9aty are not exaggerated; in fact they fal short of doing justice in this wonderful bit of country. Piueapples, dates, almonds and valuuts will do well Strawberries, rasp- berries, blackberries, GU rants, gonseberries and all varieties of small fruits can be sue cessfully cultivated. Indeed, Yuma County is not only the natural home of the ctru, and senitropical fruits, as almost every fruit. nut, plant, grain, grass, or vegetable which car be produced in either tropic ot temperate zones will thrive in the rich anG 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 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 vestment and to home seekers a veritable paradise in which to settle

The same reports show the highest and lowest temperatures, averaged for eight years, at the same place, as follows: For November 7S1a degrees and P degrees, December 731a degrees and 36H degrees, January 651a degrees and S2 degrees, Feb ruary 7IH degrees and 351s de rees, March Sl 1a degrees and fl degrees and April S61S degrees and 46 degrees. The nights throughout the winter are apt to be cool enough for open wood fires, and for blankets. Half the time an Overcoat is not needed during the day, but it is never prudent for a stranger to be without one at hand.
 The atmosphere IS singularly clear, toni( 1 and dry. 1 have never seen 1t clearer anyu here in the world. It seems to have about the same bracing and eXhilarating qualities as the air of the Great Sahara II | \ orthern 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 driel than any part of the Valley of the Nile north of the First Cataract.
