It is sit- uated fifteen miles southwest of Florence. A leyee of earth has been thrown up across a depression in the plain 14, 900 feet in length, 125 feet in width at the bottom and 9 feet in width at top, to slope on each side and an average height of 9 feet. The waste is regu- lated by cast iron pipes 3 feet in diameter, set in solid masonry, regulated by gates and tower. This reservoir cost $150.00O, and sup niles water for & GOO acres

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 it. There is no water-storage 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 paltry 220 feet. A country is drained throtNsh this narrow canyon 200 miles square, representing 40 coo square miles. or larger than Maine and Massachusetts combined. The rainfall is suf- fcient to fill the reservoir twice year, and the land to be 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.

Pacific railway in the vicinity of Casa Grande aud Ar izola is at present, and with good reason considered one of the most desirable portions of this magnificent Southern Ari- zona. Great changes have been made in the appearance of this part of the valley during the last four years. It was about that long ago that the Florence canal was completed and the work of actual improvement begun. It Is useless to deny that under our present water system there is nothing like a suffi- cient water to irrigate this vast body of land
 THE CASA GRAEDE VALLEY CANAL is forty y-three miles in length and covers 5000 acres of land about 1000 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, having storage capacity of eight billion gall 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 curing few weeks in summer.
 1t is proposed to remedy this by the con stfnction 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.

 sUEsTRoKE IS UNKNOWN
 In fact in a residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat, and they recovered. Their condition. however, was more the result of whisky than heat. The air Is so dry here that registered temperature of no degrees is not as oppres- sive as 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact, and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be pleasant breeze; the nights are invariably cool in the summer, and outdoor labor is performed without serious discomfort to either man or beast on the warmest days. Very seldom does the thermometer get be- low the freezing point in winter, and in the gardens of Florence to-day are castor bean plants two years or more old,
 UNTOUCHED BY FROST.
 Orange and lemon trees require slight pro- tection during the winter for year or two, until the wood is sufficiently hardened.
 While it is a popular. thing for one to say undisputed fact that for all pulmonary ail- ments no climate on earth is equal to South ern Arizona, and there are numbers of active industrious citizens with but one lung, who came here years ago, expecting to live but a few weeks. But for all that. the wonderful Casa Grande valley is something better than a health resort.

Information for Those Seeking Homes

Pinal county was organized in 1875 from portions of Pima, Maricopa and Yayapai counties, and contains an area of 5.S68 square miles, or 3,435, ,520 acres, one-third of which storage cf the surplus water now running to waste. Next to Maricopa it is the most im- portant agricultural county in the Territory. It it traversed from east to west by the Southern Pacific railroad, and a branch of the great Santa Fe system is now approach ing from the north. The objective point of this road is connection with the Sonora road, of the same system. The Southern Pacific is also building in this direction from Tempe, and it is confidently believed that work will not cease until the Deer Creek coal fields are reached and connection is made with another branch of that road run ming from Bowie to Globe and now complet- cd to Fort Thomas.
 Thus it will be seen that Pinal county is the theater of railroad building at the pres ent time, and inside of a year Florence, the county seat, will be

A RAILROAD CENTER.

At present it contains a population of about l500, but with the completion Of these two railroads and the Butte reservoir no advantages, and large increase in popula- tion will follow. Florence is at an elevation of 1858 feet above sea level, situated near the Gila river, twentyrsix miles northwest of the railroad station of Casa Grande, with which it is connected by an elegantly equipped duly stage line. Going and coming stages run by the old Casa Grande ruins, and passengers are allowed short time to in- spect them. There are many handsome pri vate residences in Florence, several brick stores, good hctel, an excellent graded school employing four teachers, churches, secret societies, a Commercial Club, 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 warmest days.

PRODUCTS OF THE VALLEY.

Unlike the Salt river the waters of the 'jiia are fresh and pure; the soil contains no ilkali, Is deep rich gray ash. especially almond, peach. fig, pear apricot and fruits of all kinds, which pay largely on the invest ment. 1t is also the natural home of alfalfa, which grows in the most prolific manner. The grape does exceptionally well in this valley, and wine and raisin culture is destin- ed to become prominent industry. Citrus fruits have been cultivated to limited in the neighborhood of Florence which bear their golden fruit each year without pro- lection, and few date palm trees are also in full bearing. The season is from six weeks to two months earlier than Southern Califor- mia, which gives fruit growers an appreciat- ed advantage in
The Florence tribune., 1899-10-07

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 a 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 be bought for from S2O to $50 per acre, according to location and im- proyements. 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- ble quantity is found at a depth of from twenty to thirty feet; in fact, river seems to be flowing underneath. Here is q 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

Agreed on a Biz
A dispatch to the New York Herald from
Topeka, Kan, yesterday. says: Having
passed a populistic railroad bill the Kan
sas Legislature has now turned its attention
to a bill providing a telephone system fer
the farmers of the state. The bill was
agreed upon in the populist caucus which
means that ii is destin ed to become a law.
1t has already passed the house and win
be passed by the senate this week
The bill provides that at The next election
there shall be submitted to a vote in every
county of the state these two propositions:
Shall the county own and operate a tele-
phone system? Shall the county cooperate
with other counties and with cities and
persons in the ownership and operation of
the telephol.e system?
If the first proposition carries II becomes
the duty OF the county commissioners to
buy or construct a telephone system ex-
tending through the county, So that every
person, he he farmer or resilient of town or
city, may have telephone in his house
II the proposition does not carry it is to be
submitted 10 a vote at each succeeding
election until it does carry.
The purpose of the second proposition is
10 extend the telephone system through hout
the state. so that every person can have
communication with any other person in
the state.
The telephone system, being owned and
operated as n public utility, snail not be
conducted for profit. The charges are to be
based on the actual operating expenses. 1t
is provided in the bill that the telephone
system in each country shall be paid for
by direct tax levied for that purpose.
The bill Is drawn on the line of the prin-
ciples OF the populist party, which in its
platforms has always declared for govern
ment ownership and control of railroads.
also public ownership and management of
all public utilities. The farmers. of course,
are most vigorously urging the passage of
the bill.
