extinct oceans. The great Colorado desert was once an inland sea, cut of centuries end perhaps ages ago from the main ocean, leav- ing it's waters to evaPorate in this intense heat. Throughout all ths country border ing the desert, including this section, Aich mines are being constantly discovered, and some of recent location are already produc- ing immense profits. h the neighborhood of Yuma, claims exceedingly rich on the surface are daily being located, and all signs porten1 great mining boom for this county which will culminato as early as the coming fall in an iEroad 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 min eral wealth has been lying at our very doors for so many years without a takor, but the tendency Of prcapectors is to go a 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 PrOspactor. Distance seems, indeed, to lend enchant- ment to the view.
 So it is that this county is almost a virgin field for the mine hunter, and now vioh the few hundreds searching in its mountains it's mineral secrets are still in effect secrets, for thousands upon thousands might be wander ing through the roc}-ribbed Gastnesses of our mountain ranges and their presence be almost unknown, so vast is the extent of country
 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 2)-stanap mill running night and day, and the production of gold averages $55, ,3o0 per month. This mine is situated about 30 miles southwest of the village of Yuma.
 Rich gold discoveries have also been made in Castle Dome, Harqua Hala. Centennial, Palomas, Pot Holes, and other mining dis tricts, and, although the mining cc look in the county was never better, still 14ost ot the silver and lead mines are idle, owing to the low value of these metals.

RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.

XIV ERS Ot | U NJ La OOOEi !
 in regard to climate, healthiolness, fer tility and productiveress 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.
 1t lies between 32' 00' and 340 20| north attitude and lI30 20> and ll4' 40l west longitude. It contains 6, ,48S. 320 acres. It is about as large as the States of Rhode Island, Connecticut and Delaware com bixed, or as large as either New Hampshire, Vermont or Massachusetts.
 The western boundary of Yuma County is formed by the Colorado river, which separates Arizona from Caliioruil. The county is bounded on tie north by Williams Ferk and the Santa Maria nyer, whose waters flow into the Colorado; on the east by the counties of Pima, Maricopa and Yavapai, and on the south by Sonora, Mexico. Its county seat is the towIf of Yuma.
 The Colorado river drains the entire ter ritory of Arizona, and every drop ct water which falls on its mountains and plains Hnds its way to 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 in summer than n 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 ,eng it's western boundary, Yuma County poss, ses the great advantage of cheap water transportation.
 The Gila river rises Iu the western part of New Mexico and is fed by numerous streams. among the most prominent ot which are the San Pedro, Agua Fria, Has savampa and Salt rivers. It flows west through l una NCNhOg anu S4i't Nh0~ ---N0 Colorado at the town of Yuma. Yuma county, traversed by these great ,;uers from its 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 fernia. This water is now being diverted from it's natrral channels by means of numerous large irrigating canals, and utilized for the ,urnose of retaining and irrigating the immense tracts of lands which lie in this favored country, and which are as fertile as aus in the world. The Southern Pacific Railroad crosses the i Colorado river at the town of Yuma and runs through the county, following the ,,enerol course, and at an average distance ] of about four miles south, Of the Giia river, . rendering all the lands susceptible or Irrl- | oation and cultivation, can 6nd all easy outlet in this way and can be transported . oku the markets and centers of population in the East or West.
 Another competing railroad is projected from San Diego. California, to tie town of Yuma, and thence along the north s'oe of the Gila river. TLus Yuma County will nave exceptional railroad advantages.

HIS ACtfacU0nS ana Advantages as q
 Place of Residence in Winter.
 Whitelaw Reid. owner and editor of the New York TriJuae, wbo has spent the last two winters in Arizona for the benefit of his health, writes entertainiugIy and in structively concerning that part of the country. Mr. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as place for winter residence, and there appears to be such a dearth of pre- else information among many who are vitally 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 one day when the weather made it actually unpleasant 10! me to take exercise in the open air at some time or other during the day. Of course there were good many days which weather observer would. de scribe as 'cloudy," and some that were "showery; but during these five months lfrom No cmber, 1895, to May, ls5j,) 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 Lgxor, Arizona Is the iaud of sunshine. As to details:
 
 TEMPERATURE.
 1 have seen the thermometer mark 92 degrees in the shade on my north piazza in March On the other hand, We had frosta which killed young orange trecs, and .aose were several nights when thin ice formed. The government reports show a mean for fourteen years at the pres ent territorial capital of 574 degrees in November, B degrees in December, 49 de- groes in January, U degrees in February, iI degrees Tn March and jG degrees in

trizona stands at the threshold of Rn era of wonderful social and industrial de yelopment. 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 upbuiIding just be- fore her. The impulse of new and enel gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people, while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small inn prsasion as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her a full share of atten- ton and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which-hare hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There is a scramble for franchises Nothing more surely indicates 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 climacticer period which every western state has ex- perienced sometime in it's history when, after long and weary struggle and doubt, with each side of the balance first up and then down, the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and a sunburst of energiziug hope has thrilled the droop ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endeayor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com pletiOn of two transcontinental lines of railroad across her territory-Arizona has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulatine a fund of substantial wealth and a force of moral character which qualify her now to rise up and take her destiny in her own hands.
 The population of Arizona is Mexican. This is mistake of great importance from the moral point of view. There is but one considerable center of Mexican population in the territory, the city of Tucson, and even there it is not by any means at pres eut the predominating element It think 1t is certain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large Mexican population as Colorado and not above one-tenth as much as New Mexico ~"Fitz- Mac," in Denver News.

VALLEYS OF THE COLORADO AND
 CHA,

In the valleys Of the Coi-rado and the Gila rivers there $ roem foI 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 paired; it lies almost ready for the blow. Trees and shruJbery have so rapid a growth that within eighteen months the immigrant can surround his abode with attract;lqs which would require years to mature in less favored climates. Fruits ripen and are ready for market full month before the California products. The bright sunshine makes life luxury, and the pure dry atmos- rhere brings health to all who iuhaleit. For the establishment of colonies, such as are made in southern California, Arizona pre- sents unrivaled opportunities. Thousands of acres now pro6tless cao be made produc- tive by the construction of irriga5ing ditohes. 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 waiuuts will do well Strawberries, rasp- berries, blackberries, entrants, eocseberries, and all varieties of small fruits can be suc- cessfully cultivated. Indeed. Yuma County is not cnly the natural home of the citrus and semitropical fruits, as almost every fruit, nut, plant, grain, grass, or vegetable which ca2 be produced in either t.opic of temperate zones will thrive in the rich and fertile soils.
 With the bright prospects ahead of the town of Yama and Yuma County there can be no better investment for capital seeking large and renumerative returns than is af- forded here. With Q matchless climate, where all 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 balmy nights are one loug-con- tinued poem of happiness and delight, We can offer to capitalists an ideal field for in vestmen5 and to home seekers a veritaJla paradise in which to settle.

The atmosphere IS singularly clear, tonic and dry. 1 have never seen it clearer anyw here in the world. It seems to have about the same bracing and exhilarating qualities as the air of the Great Sahara in Northern Africa, or of the deserts about Mount Sinai, in Arabia Petraea. It is much drier than Tn the parts of Morocco, Algiers or Tunis usually visited, and drier than any part of the Valley of the Nile north of the First Cataract. It seems to me about the same in quality as the air on the Nile between Assouan and Wady- Halfa, but somewhat cooler,
