It's Attractions and Advantages as q
 Place Of Residence in Winter.

WhiteIaw Reid. owner aid editor of the New York Tribune, V ho has spent the last two winters in AGizona for the benefit of his health, writes entertainingly and in structively concerning that part 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 a dcarth of pre- else information among many who are vitally interested, that it seems almost 6 public duty, to get down, in the simplest form, few facts of personal Ohserva tion.
 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 ether during the day. Of course there were Q good many days which weather observer would de scribe as "cloudy," and some that were "shoYery; 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 lauc of sunshine. As to details:

extinct oceans. The great Colorado de9eft was once an inland sea, cut oil centuries anu perhaps ages ago from tho moin ocean, lcaV' inc its waters to evaporate in this intense heat. Throughout all the country borGer- iuc the desert, including this section, ileh mines are being constantly discovered, ana some of recent location are already produc- ing inmeuse profits. In the neighborhood of Yuma, claims exceedingly richs on the surface are daily being located, and &i' signs portend great mining boom for this county which will cninninate as early as the coming fall in aa inroad of much capital. EXpeTts are arriving every week and mines are being bonded at more than heavy prices. u seems wonderful to believe that ali this mln- cral wealth has been lying at our very doors for so many years without q taher, but the tendency of prospectors is to 90 long dls- tance off into strange lands rather than to seek for mines ill county as old as Yuma County and s9 accessible. The greater the distance, the hardship, and the danger, the greater the fascination for the prospectcr. Distance seems, indeed, to lend enchant- lnent to the view.
 Sc it is that this county is almost virgin l field for the mine hunter, and now with the 1 few hundreds searching III its mountains It's mineral secrets are still in effect secrets, for ] thousands upon thousands might be wander 1 ing through the rock-ribbed businesses ot our mountain ranges and their presence be almost unknown, so vast is the extent oi country
 Recent rich discoveries of gold deposits particularly in lodges, have given great impetus to mining throughout the county. 1 New locations are being constantly made and all show well upon the surface. The l.;
 Fortuna mine, recently put in operation
 has 2}-stanp mill running night and day and the production of gold averages $75, ,0OI
 per month. This mine is situated about &
 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 miring dis tricts, and, although the mining C. lcOk il
 the county was never better, still Lost 0
 the silver and lead mines are idle, owin

VALLEYS OF THE COLORADO AND

CHA.


 In the valleys of the Col, rado and the Gila rivers there is roem foi 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 rec aired; it lies almost ready for the blow. Trees and shrubbery have so rapid a growth that within eighteen months the irnmig ant can surround his abode with attractions which would require years to mature in less favored climates. Fruits ripen and are ready fer market fnli month before the California products. The bright sunshine makes life a luxury, and the pure dry atmos- l 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 coanty are not exaggerated; i'll fact they fal short of doing justice in this wonderful bit of country. Pineapples, dates, almonds ant 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 citru and semitropical fruits, as almost every fruit, nut, plant, grain, grass, or vegetabl which caH be produced in either tropic O temperate zones will thrive in the rich anC fertile soils.
 With tie bright prospects ahead of tn town of Yama and Yuma County there cal be no better investment for capital seexinl large and renumerative returns than is af forded here With matchless climate where all forms of disease known to tn damp and rigorous regions of the east anc north are unknown, where the bright sun shine kisses into bloom and fragrance ever! form of vegetation, and where the clear day and cool and balmy nights are one long-con tinued poem of happiness and delight, w can offer to capitalists an ideal field for in vestment and to home seekers veritabl paradise in which to settle.

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social and industrial de- velopment. There can't be donbt about the fact. The dawn for which she has waited so long is breaking at last. There is every promise of day of great pros- perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of a new and ener- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people, while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small inn pression as they transpired siugly, is now 1 commanding for her a full share of atten- ] tion and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There is o scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lend rs than this.
 Arizona has reachei that climacticer period which every western state has ex' perienced sometime in its history when, after long aud weary struggle and doubt, with each side of the balance first up and then down, the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and sunhurst of energizing hope has thrilled the droop' ing spirits of the people to greater aud braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com pletion of two transcontinental lines ol railroad across her territory-Arizona hai rati,er dropped out of public attention but in that time she has been quietly ac } cumulating fund of substantial wealtt and a force of moral character whicE qualify her now to rise up and take hel
 destiny in her own hands,
 The population of Arizona is Mexican This is a mistake of great importance fro'. the moral point of view. There is but on' considerable center of Mexican population in the territory, the city of Tucson, anC even there it is not by any means at pres 5 ent the predOminating element. It thini
 it IS certain that arizona has not to-day nearly so large Mexican population a Colorado and not above one-tenth as mucl ] gs New Mexico. >"Fitz- Mae," in Denve News.

The atmosphere is singalarly clear, tonic and dry. 1 have never seen 1t clearer anyw here in the world. It seems to have about the same braoing and exhilarating qualities az the air of the Great Sahara in N 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 drler than any part of the Valley of the Nile north of the First Cataract. It seems to me about the same in quality as the air on the Nile between Assouan and Wady- Haifa, but somewhat cooler.

Awhite man first set foot on what is BON Yuma County in l77l. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and oae of the four original counties ot the Ter ritory. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few years ex- poct to See Yuma Courty rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali- fornia catches of Arizona is that ot the picturesque town of Yuma, which IS snug'y a;tuated in the embrace of gentlo rolling hills. upon whose erests and sides the modern homes Of our superior civilization .re c,awding the adobe dwellings into ,+.-,al ohliyion, Yuma is the gateway o .r;uona. the new empire of the West, upon ,.bose nndeveloped riches the eyes of the us,,ntrv are at present turned, and as sncn,
 is boend to grow and prosper with rapiaitv that at present can hardly DC re- .Ezed But coupled with her geographl- ooJ ,s,sjtion we find that she is the center off country whose agricultural possiO'li- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by a soil the fertility of which exsaeds that of the delta of the Nile, and vanting ocly water to become paradise of bloom. Billions of gallons Of that precious Hnid have annually gone to waste al Yuma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place and many enterprises are On foot to supply the life giving waters oi fine yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.
