LANDS AND SOILS.

The lands of Yuma County comprise the river bottoms and valleys and the uplands mesas The bottom ands are moister and slightly mere fertile if, indeed. it is possible to make comparisons
 where all are so wonderfully productive and prolific The uplands or mesas warmer and, perhaps,
 lightly for betterthe cultivation the citrus fruits
 Yuma contains a variety of soil The valley land of theI Gila and Colorado rivers have for the most part deep sedimentary soil of brownish gray sandy loam, resting, in most places, upon a gray clay subsoil at depth of from ten to twenty feet below the surface, The clay subsoil forms a hard. pan which is imperVious to water. These soils have been slowly formed by the decomposition of shales. sandstones marls. limestones, etc., mixed with or
 ganic and vegetable matter, washed down by the mighty rivers and have been gradually deposited during the course of centuries. The fertilizing brownish mud held in the wat Clof the Colorado and Gila rivers resembles that from the Nile, and its quantity varies from O.1 to O.5 per cent, though the water when even considerably discolor- ed by mud is good drink, resembling in this res- pect the Missouri river water. chemical analysis of the sediments of the Colorado and of the Nile exhibits wonderful similarity in the constituent parts of each. That of the Colorado exhibiting trife less potsssa, most phosphoric acid and
 bonads of limestone beds through which the Colo rado passes In other respects the sediment of the Colorado is almost identical with that of the Nile. It will be noticed therefore, that when this water is used for irrigation it is superior to artesan waters since it Is constantly supplying the land with the richest fertizing elements. The soil of the valley is extremely rich in dedomposed vegetable matter and uncombined carbon, readily absorbing the aerial gases, such especially oxygen, which en- tering the soil, dccomposes the organic matters that they can be taken up and nourish the plants which may he considered leading featurs in it fertility. It also readily takes up and retains moisture, while the rmness of its particles affords every facility for percolation and the activity of capillary action In it's mechanical composition It's particles in state of very fine division which renders it more productive than coarser soils l acquirics heat readily in the daytime, and the loss of the heat at night is very gradual that 1t re- mains always warm and Is not subject to sudden changes of heat and cold. Besides it's essential stituents of water, organic or vegetable matter, sand and clay, chemical analys; shows that lime, soda ncagresis iroc, ar,mcz-a and available forms ot nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash enter into composition in the proportions best adapted to add to its fertility though, of course, is always the case in soil analysis, its competition varies n dgEegentl calties and is not always constant.

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 Bc-nardino mountains in California b 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 eeldsmineS are. found, borderingthe beds of

ARIZONA.
Its Attractions and Advantages as 8
 Place of Residence in Winter.

Whitelaw Reid. owner and editor of the New York Tribune, who has spent the last two wint CTS in Arizona 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 a place for winter residence, and there appears to be such dearth of pre- else information among many who are vitaIly interested, that it seems almost a public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, 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:
 TEMPERATURE.

On the other hand, we had frosts which killed young orange trees, and there were several nights when thin ice formed.

WHICH TOWN IS THe BEST?

Primarily that is question for the phy- sician, if there is a physician in the case if not, try them all. If mountain region, considerable altitude and comparatively low temperature is desired, Prescott is in picturesque region, near a great mining districts, and has the social advantage of an army post, whipple Barracks. , az staff IS still higher, is in a region of ase pine forests, and is within 2. hard : .y's journey of one of the wonders of the ", Id, the Colorado Canyor Oracle is rI 'tty mountain nook, powered in splendid live oaks, like r ,se of California. and is also near an Aportant mining district. If lower altitdde and a distinctly semi tropical climate are desired, the three places most likely to be considered are Yuma, Tucson and Phoenix. The first is near the sea level; is the warmest and probably the driest of the three, has the least population, and the smallest provision for visitors. Tucson is the oldest town in the Territory, and, after Santa Fe, perhaps the oldest in the Southwest. Its adobe houses give it d Mexican look, and are thoroughly comfort able. It's newer houses are of handsome building stone, found in the vicinity. The Territorial University is lare, and it was formerly the capital. Its elevation being more than double that of Phoenix, it is somewhat cooler, and as there is next to no irrigation near it. the air is a 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 aims. 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-perhaps not quite so often. At either place visitors who know how to adapt themselves to circumstances can be entirely comfortable, and in each they will find an intelligent, orderly, enterprising and most hospitable community. They will find 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 for hardy and adventurous men now as Califor- nia was in he:ffties. Above all, it has beer their lot to search for health ill far countries, they will revel in the luxury of being in their own land, among their own countrymen. within easy reach of their friends by telegraph or rail, and in a climate as good of it's kind as any in the world.
 ACTUAL HUMIDITY.
 This is extren ely slight, everywhere in Arizona, as compared with any eastern climate in the United States. The air IS driest on the high mesas, remote from suowclad mou.tains or forests, and III the desert valleys, where no considerable irri- gation has been begun,
