Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few years ex- pect to see Ylma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Call foynia 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 o ,rizona. the new empire of the West, upon whose undeveloped riches the eyes ot the country are at present turned, and as such'
 s is bound to grow and prosper with rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that she is the center of a country whose agricultural possiblll- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by a soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting only water to become paradise oi bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste al Yuma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place aGd many enterprises arc on foot to supply the life giving waters oi she yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

VALLEYS OF THE COLORADO AND
 CHA,

In the valleys of the Colorado and the Gila rivers there is rocm for thousands. It is not too much to say that nowhere within the limits of this broad Unioa can be found @ more desirable region for the making of home. No laborious clearing of the land is repaired; 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 attract;Lns which would require years to nature in less favored climates. Fruits ripen and are 1 ready for market full month before the California products. The bright sunshine makes life luxury, and the pure dry atmos- i phera brings health to all who inhale it. For i 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 ditobes. 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 in this wonderful bit of country. Pineapples, dates, almonds and waluuts will do well. Strawberries, rasp- berries, blackberries, entrants, gocseberries, and all varieties of small fruits can be suc- 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 can 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 a matchless climate, where ali 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 balnly nights are one long-con- tinued poem of happiness and delight, we l can offer to capitalists an ideal field for in vestment and to home seekers a veritable paradise in which to settle.

extinct oceans. The great Colorado desert was once an inland sea, cut off centuries ana perhaps ages ago from the main ocean, leav- ing its waters to evaporate in this intense heat. Throughout all the country border inc the desert, including this section, llch 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 portend great mining boom for this county which will culminate as early as the coming fall in an 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 mln- eral wealth has been lying at our very doors for so many years without taker, but the tendency of prospectors is to go 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 virgin field for the mine hunter, and now with the few hundreds searching in its mountains it' mineral secrets are still in effect secrets, fol ! thousands upon thousands might be wander ing through the rook-ribbed fastnesses O our mountain ranges and their presence b' almost unknown, so vast is the extent 0 country

RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.

In regard to climate, healthfuness, fer tiiity and proauctiveness 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 Arizon can surpass Yuma county, which is destined to become one Of richest and most prosperous counties in Arizona.
 It lies between 320 OO' and 34' 2O' north attitude and ll3o 20' and ll40 40' west lonc;tpde. It contains G. ASS, 320 acres. It is about as large as the States of Rhode Island, Connecticut and Delaware com bised. or as large as either New Hampshire, Vermont or Massachusetts.
 The western boundary of Yuma County is formed by the Colorado river, which senarates Arizona from California. The conptv is bounded on the north by Williams Fork and the Santa Maria 1ver, whose waters flow into the Colorado; on the east bv the counties cE Pima, Maricopa and Yavapaj and on the south by Sonora Mexico. It's county seat is the town ot Yuma.
 Tbe Colorado river drains the entire ter ritory of A1izona, and every drop ot water which falls o\l its mountains and plains Hnds its way t9 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 snows cause a greater depth of water in this river m sumner than in winter. thus furnishing the most water at the season when it is most required for the purposes
 irrigation and agriculture.
 will be seen that for the entire distance .,no it's western boundary, Yuma County rogss ses the great advantage Of cheap water transportation.
 The Cila river rises in 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 savampa 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 it's eastern to it's 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 fcruia.
 This water is now being diverted from it's natural chaqnels by means of numerous large irrigating canals, and utilized for the nurnose of retaining and irgigating the immense tracts Of lands which lie in this favored country, and which are as fertile as ans in the world.
 The Southern Pacific Railroad crosses the Colorado river at the town of Yuma and rms through the county, following the genorol course. and at an average distance If about four miles south, of the GiIa river, rendering all the lands susceptible of irri- cation and cultivation, can find an easy ,rtlet in this way and can be transported osil ths markets and ogutcrs Of population n thc East or West
 Another competing railroad is projected from San Diego. California, to tic town agl-pns. and thence along the north side 7f +te G.ls river Tlas Yuma County will ,avs ezoeational raihoad advantages.

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social and industrial de- velopment There can't be doubt 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 enel gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people, while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small im- pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her 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 begging for ownership. There is a scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates a 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 reached that climacticel 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 anC then down, the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and a sunburst of energizing hope has thrilled the droop ing spirits of the people to greater ant braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com i pletion of two transcontinental lines 0 railroad across her territory-Arizona ha rather dropped out of public attention but in that time she has been quietly ac cumulatinga fund of substantial wealtl and a force of moral character whicl i qualify her now to rise up and take he destiny in her own hands.
 The population of Arizona is Mexican This is mistake of great importance frOll 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 ent the predominating element. It thin it is certain that Arizona has not to-da nearly so large a Mexican population a Colorado and not above one-tenth as muc as New Mexico. -''Fitz- Mac, in Denve News.
