 ''Besides the fruits already mentioned, tho or ange, lemon, lime, olive, fig, pomegranate, and others of the citrus family, cen be grown success fully in the valleys of Southern Arizona. Orange trees now in bearing in the Salt River valley and at Yuma; while the bananas is also being cul- tvated at the latter place. The Arizona orange in quality and flavor will compare fayorably with the best California.
 ''In the valleys of the Colorado, the Salt and the Gila rivers thore is for thousands. It is not
 too much to say that nowhere within the limits of

 immigrant can surround his abode with attractions
 which would require years to maturS in less favored climates. Fruits ripen and are ready for market a full month before the California product. The bright sunshine makes life luxury, and the pure
 dry atmosphere brings health to all who inhale It. For the establishment of colonies such as we have | made of Southern California arden, Arizona presents unrivalcd opportunities Thousands Oi ! acres, now pTofitless, can be made productive

IS IT A LAwLEss COUNTRY?

The man who goes to any considerable Arizona town with the idea of the South
 west derived from novels, or from ''The Arizona Kicker" will be greatly mystiGed. He will find as manj churches as in towns of corresponding size in Pennsylvania pr Ohio; and probably more schoolhouses. He will find plenty of liquor-snops. too, and gambling houses, and dancehouses, and yet he will see little disorder unless he hunts late at night for it, and he will be apt to fnd-as at Phoenix--a community of ten thousand people requiring in the daytime only one policeman, and hardly requiring him. During my winter there I did not see single disturbance in the streets, or half dozen drunken men, all told. Min ing men and an occasional cowboy certainly had quarrels, sometimes, in the disorderly quarters at night; and there were stories of the use of the knife among Mexicans; but the visitor who went about his own business had as little trouble as on Board way or Chestnut street. The Pima and Maricopa Indians, who are encountered everywhere. have been friendly with the whites for generations, and there isn't an Apache within some hundreds of mileS.

formerly the capital. Its elevation being more than double that of Phoenix, it is some what cooler, and as there is next to no irrigation near it, the air is little drier. Phoenix is the centre of the greatest irriga- tion in the Territory. The country for miles around smiles with green fields, cover ed with almost countless herds of cattle, and it is everywhere shut in by low mount ains. It is the Territorial capital, has the Government Indian School, the Territorial Lunatic Asylum, and other institutions, and Is the general focus for the Territory. Like Tucson, it has it's occasional wind and sand storms s-perhaps not quite so often. At either place visitors who know how to adapt themselves to circumstances can bc entirely comfortable, and in each they will find an intelligent, orderly, entcrprising and most hospitable community. They win find a country full of mines, full of rich agricultural lands, abounding in cattle and horses, in vineyards and orchards and the beginnings of very successful orange groves "a country, in fact, as full of promise fol hardy and adventurous men now as Califcr- mia was in the.6fties. Above all, it has been their lot to search for health in fal countries, they will revel in the luxury ot being in their own land, among their own countrymen, within easy reach of theil friends by telegraph or rail, and in climate as good of its kind as any in the world.

WHY IMMIGRANTS SHOULD COME TO YUMA | COUNTY Because tho climate is perfect.
 Because the soil is fertile and prolific. Because land is abundant and cheap. Because home can be made with little | labor.
 Because so great variety of products can be grown.
 Because the yield is large and the prices always remunerative.
 Because life is 8 luxury in land where the sun shines every day
 Because there are chances for poor man which he can never hope to find in older countries.
 Because the country is advancing and property values are increasing.
 Because, unlike Southern California it does not require small fortune to secure a piece of land.
 Because capital does not block all the av. enues to wealth, nor crowd the poor man to the wall.
 Because Uncle Sam has yet many farms in Yuma county waiting for occupants. Because churches, schools, newspapers and railroads are fast developing the moral and material clements of the Territory.
 Because good land is becoming scarce, and if you don't catch on now, your last chance will soon be gone.
 Because the country is one of the few regions of the Uuited States that yields the products of the temperate and semi-tropic zones.
 Because the worker receives a fair com. pensation for his labor, and the hustler has a field for the display of his energy and en- terprise.
 Because there are neither bizzards ol tornadoes, earthquakes nor inundations, snOw-storms nor cyclones.
 Because the vast and varied resources ei the country are yet to be developed.
 Because the wealth of it's mines, it's farm ing valleys, and grazing lands, will yet build up great and prosperous county.
 Because a man can make livelihood her, with less labor than in any other part of the United States.
 Because there is health in every breeze, and strength and vigOr under it's cloudless skies.
 Because the settler need not spend life time in feIling trees and grubbing out stumps.

The greater the distance, the hardship, and the danger, the greater the fascination for the prospector. Distance seems, indeed, to lend enchant- 1 mont to the view.

 Recent rich discoveries of gold deposits, particularly in lodges, have given a great impetus to mining throughout the county.
 New locations are being constantly made and all show well upon the surface. The La
 Fortuna mine, recently put in operation has )-stalnp mill running night and day and the-production of gold averages $75, ,G0(

1 white man first set fcot on what IS aow Yuma County in I'll. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and ase of the foar original counties of the Ter ritory. Many great reclamation projects are bowever on foot. and ill few years ex- meet to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Call fornia catches of Arizona is that or the 7icturcseue town of Yuma, which Is snugly s;tpated in the embrace of gentle rolling siIs unon whose erests and sides the modern homes of our superior civilization arc crowding the adobe dwellings into eternal obIivion. Yuma is the gateway to ,rivopa. the new empire Of the West, upon whose undeyeloped riches the eyes of the country are at present turned, and as such'
 is bcund to grow and prosper with -on;ditv that at present can hardly be re- ,l;zed. But coupled with her geographl- cal position we find that she IS the center efa country whose agricultural possiblh- tics are practically unlimited being sur rounded by soil the fertility ot which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting oaly 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 reactiol Js taking place aad many enterprises arf en foot to supply the life-giving waters o eAe yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.
