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. all the country north, east and south of Yuma lies directly within the main gold belt that commences in Alaska and ends ill Mexico
 From the San Bornardino 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 are fopnd bordering the beds of

\ white man first set foot on what is now Yrma County in l77l. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and ose of the four original counties of the Ter ritory. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few years ex- pect to See ' Ima County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali fornia catches of 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 Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undeveloped riches the eyes ot the country are at present turned, and as such' it is bound to grow and prosper with rapidity that at present can hardly 6e re- alized. But coupled with her geographl- cal position we find that she is the center of country whose agricultural possibili- tics arc practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile. and wanting o1iy 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 and many enterprises are on foot to supply the ife-giving waters of She yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.

In regard to climate, healthfulnesS, fer iility and productiveness of soil, facilities for cultivation, irrigation and abundance Of water supply, variety of resources and .heap transportation by rail and by water, no part of Arizon can surpasS Yuma county, which is destined to become one ot richest and most prosperous counties in Arizona.
 It lies between 32' 0o' and 34' 20' north latitude and ll3o 20' and ll40 40> west longitude It contains SASS, ,320 acres. It is about as large as the States Of Rhode Island, Connecticut and Delaware com bixed, or as large as either New Hampshire Vermont or Massachusetts.
 The western boundary of Yuma 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 rver, whose waters flow into the Colorado; on the 'ast bv the counties of Pima, Maricopa and Yavapai, and on the south by Sonora, Mexico. Its county seat is the town Ot 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. 1t IS formed by the union of the Green and Grand rivers, fed by the streams which rise in the Rocky Mountains, and the melt jug snows cause a greater depth ot water .n this riy 1T In summer than Tn winter. thus urnishipg the most water at the season ,rhen it IS most required for the purposes of irrigation and agriculture.
 It will be seen that for the entire distance along it's western boundary, Yuma County rosst sess the great advantage ot cheap water tlansuortation.
 The Gila river rises III 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, slyampa and Salt rivers. It flows west through ! uIld NOulibJ e'i4O l''A0S Colorado at the town of Yuma.
 Yuma county, traversed by these great rivers from its northern to its southern, and from its eastern to its western bound aries. possesses a far greater water supply than any other county in the Territory and far more than can be found in all Cali fernia.
 This water is now being diverted from its natural channels by means of numerous large irrigating canals, and utilized for the purpose of retaining and irrigsting the immense tracts of lands which lie in this favored country, and which are as fertile ss any in the world. The Southern Pacific Railroad crosses the Colorado river at the town of Yuma and runs through the county, following the generUl course, and at an average distance of about four. miles south, of the Gila river, rendering all the lands susceptible of irri- gation and cultivation, can find an easy outlet in this way and can be transpol ted to ( Il the malk kets and centcrs of population ir thc East or West. Smother competing railroad is projected from San Diego. California, to tie town af Yuma, and thence along the north side of the Gila river Thus Yuma County will cave exceptional railroad advantages.

ARIZONA.
Its Attractions and Advantages as {
 Place of Residence in Winter.

Whitclaw Reid. owner and editor of the New York Tribune, who has spent the last two winters in Aiizona for the benefit of his health, writes cntertainingly 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 dcarth of pre- else information among many who are vitally interested, that it seems almost a public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, a few facts of personal observation.
 WEATHER.
 During a five months residence in Southern Arizona in winter there was but ore 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 weather observer would de- scribe as "cloudy, and some that were "showery; 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 laud of sunshine. As to details:
 TEMPERATURES.
 I have seen the thermometer mark 92 degrees in 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 mean temperature for fourtee years at the pres ent territorial capital of 57b degrees in November, 5 degrees in December, 49 de- grees in January, 54 degrees ill February, 6l degrees ID March and 66 degrees
