WHICH TOWN IS TIC BEST?

Primarily that is question for the phy- sician, if there is a physician in the case if not, try them all. If a mountain region, considerable altitude and comparatively low temperature is desired, Prescott is in a picturesque region, near great mining districts, and has the social advaatags of an army post, whipple Barracks. , az staff IS still higher, is in a region of ase pine forests, and is within D. hard .y's journey of one of the wonders of the Id, the Colorado Canyon Oracle is .tty mountain nook, powered in splendid live oaks, like ,se of California, and Is also near an Aportant mining district.
 If lower altitude and 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 Mexican look, and arc thoroughly comfort able, Its newer houses are of handsome building stone, found in tho vicinity. The Territorial pni@ereity is Ferc., and it was

April. The same reports show the highest and lowest temperatures, averaged for eight years, at the same place, as follows: For November 7S1a degrees and IF degrees, December 731l degrees and S6H degrees, January G5% degrees and B degrees, Feb ruary .7l% degrees and 35H de rees. March SIH degrees and 4l degrees and April S6% degrees and 46 degrees. The nights throughout the winter are apt to be cool enough for open wood fires, and for blankets. Half the time an overcoat is not needed during the day, but it is never prudent for stranger to be without one at hand.
 The atmosphere is singularly clear, tonic and dry. 1 have never seen 1t clearer anyw here in the world. 1t seems to have about the same bracing and exhilarating qualities as the air of the Great Sahara Tn Northern Africa, or of the deserts about Mount Sinai, in Arabia Petraea. It is much drier than III 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 Nady. Halfa, but somewhat cooler.

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 snowclad mountains or forests, and in the desert valleys, where no considerable irri. gation has been begun. Wherever irriga- tion is carried on on large scale, the percentage of humidity in the atmosphere must be somewhat increased, although to an eastern visitor it is scarcely percoptible. The same Government observations all ready cited show relative humidity, at Phoenix or Tucson, averaged for weeks, from morning and evening readings, at less than half the usual humidity on dry days in New York. General Greedy, in a pub. lication from the Weather Bureau, gave the normal weight of aqueous vapor in the Arizona air at from 11s to grains per cubic foot.

extinct oceans. The great Colorado aeserI was once an inland sea, cut of centuries ana perhaps ages ago from the main ocean, ieaV- ing its waters to evaporate in thus intense heat. Throughout all the country border ing the desert. including this section, iich mines are being constantly discovered, ana some of recent location are already produc- ing immense profits In the neighborhood of Yuma, claims exceedingly rich on the surface are daily being located, and all signs portend great mining boom for this county which will culminate 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 taker, but the tendency of prospectors is to go 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 prospector. Distance seems, indeed, to lend enchant- ment to the view.
 So it is that this county is almost virgin field for the mine hunter, and now with the few hundreds searching in its mountains its mineral secrets are still in effect secrets, for thousands upon thousands might be wander ing through the rock-ribbed fastnessss ot 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 8 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)-stamp mill running night and day, and the production of gold averages $75, 900 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 or lcok in the county was never better, still l-ost ot the silver and lead mines are idle, owing to the low value of these metals.

VALLEYS OF THE COLORADO AND
 CHA,

In the valleys of the Colorado and the Gila rivers there is room for thousands. It is not too much to say that nowhere within the limits of this broad Union can be found more desirable region for the making of home. No laborious clearing of the land is reqaired; it lies almost ready for the blow. Trees and shrubbery have 80 rapid growth that within eighteen months the immig ant can surround his abode with attractiC Cns 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- phere brings health to all who inhale it. For the establishments of colonies, such as are made in southern California, Arizona pre- sents unrivaled opportunities. Thousands of acres now prohtless can be made produc- tive by the construction of irrigating ditches, and there ia 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 waluuts will do well. Strawberries, rasp- berries, blackberrieS, entrants, gocssberries, and all varieties of small fruits can be suc- cessfully cultivated. Indeed, Yuma County is not only the natural home of the citrus and somitropical fruits, as almost every fruit, mt, plant, grain, grass, or vegetable which caG be produced in either tropic of temperate zones will thrive in the rich and fertile soils.
 With the bright prospects ahead of the town of Yuma and Yuma County there can be no better investment for capital seeking large and renumerative returns than is af- forded here. With 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 long-con- tinued poem of happiness and delight, we can offer to capitalists an ideal field for in yestment and to home seekers veritable paradise in which to settle.

IS IT 4 PLACE FIT TO LIVE IN?

This depends on what one expects in a huge, parsely settled Territory of mount
 aims and deserts. The man who looks for
 either the beauty or the seductive excite.
 ment of Monte Carlo will not find it. As little will he find the historic remains or
 the cosmopolitan attractions of Egypt; nor
 could he reasonable expect the amusements
 and luxuries of our own East:rn cities. The people of Arizona are still chiefly busy in
 the pioneer work of subduing it to the
 residence and uses of civilized man. But it has two transcontinental lines of railw ay
 with numerous feeders; it has fast mails,
 and rival telegraph lines, and is throbbing
 with the intense life of the splendid West.
 The two principal towns in the south ern portion, chiefly sought for their climatic advantages, are Phoenix and Tucson. Each of them has ten thousand inhabitants or more. They have the electric light, tele- phones, trolley cars, plenty of hotels,
 banks, bookstores, good schools, churches, an occasional theatrical performance some- times lecture or 6 circus, often horse race, and, in the spring. thoroughly curious and interesting '6esta." For the csst, people must take their amusements with them. Good horses arc abundant and cheap, and there are plenty of cow boys-the genuine article-to show what horses can do. The driving for fifteen or twenty miles in almost any direction from Phoenix, is nearly always easy. The roads are apt to be dusty; but there IS one we'll sprinkled drive of six or eight miles; and since the winds are quite regular iD their direction, it is rarely difficult to choose route or which the dust will be largely carried away frOrt you. The unbroken desert itself is often as easy to drive over as an Eastern highway, and the whole valley is paradise for bicyclers, or eques- trians.

RAIN.

Showers, and indeed heavy rains ere liable to occur in every month of the year; but the actual number of rains seems to an eastern visitor strangely small. The average rainfall in Southern Arizona, as shown by the Government observations, is but SH inches per year.
