AN UN1NHAB1TABLE DESERT

Is in truth the most productive land on the globe, and that there is water in abundance to bring every foot of it under cultivation, only waiting for the magic wand of capital to develop 1t. There is no water-storage scheme on the Pacific coast that has one- half the natural advantages and so few engineer ing difficulties as the Butte reservoir. Here nature has built the abutments in ever-liy- ing rock, and all that is left for man to do is to put in the headgate, the bluffs which form the gorge being only separated by paitry 220 feet. A country is drained through this narrow canyon 20 miles square, representing 40,000 square miles. or larger than Maine and Massachusetts combined. The rainfall is suf- hcient to fill the reservoir twice year, and the land to he brought under cultivation Is practically limitless. This may read like fairy tale, but it is every word true, and has been verified time and again.

is forty-three miles in length and covers 5000 acres of land, about 600 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and it's capacity in- creased. A reservoir covering 1900 acres, Ions, in the southeast corner of township 6, range 8, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below it, but those above suffer by shortage of water during a few weeks in summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con struction of huge reservoir at the Buttes, fifteen miles northeast of Florence. Com petent engineers have examined and reported upon the scheme and pronounce it feasible.

Florence Is at an elevation of 1858 feet above sea level, situated near the Gila river, twenty-six miles northwest of the railroad station of Casa Grande, with which it is connected by an elegantly equipped deily stage line. Going and coming stages run by the old Casa Grende ruins, and passengers are allowed short time to in- spect them. There are many handsome pri- vate residences in Florence, several brick stores, good hotel, an excellent graded school employing four teachers, churches, secret societies, Commercial Club, a news paper (the only one in the countyl, and the handsomest court house in the Territory. Here is held the United States Court for the district composed of Gila, Graham and Pinal counties. The streets are lined with shade trees which impart an air of comfort on the Marnest days.

PRopUcrs OF THE VALLEY.


 The absence of fogs and nightly dews is a formidable obstacle to the destructive and unsightly scale-bug. and the fruits of the valley are all bright and clean. All the agri- cultural products of temperate and semi tropic zones are easily grown here, the long seasons giving succession of crops that double or treble the productive value of the land.
 PRICES OF LAND.
 Improved lands with government title and water right, can he bought for from S20 to $50 per acre, according to location and iIn- provements. In the immediate neighbor- hood and to the south of the Casa Grande ruins there are thousands of acres covered with heavy growth of mesquite timber yet open to settlement. These are among the choicest in the valley. Water in inexhausti- bIe quantity is found ot depth of from twenty to thirty feet; in fact, a river seems to be flowing underneath. Here is splen- did opportunity to take up and improve land with a pumping system of irrigation, which is said to be successful on small tracts.
 However, with the completion of the Butte reservoir, pumping will be thing of the past and it is only mentioned here for the purpose of showing what can be done, and to magnify the further fact that what was once considered
