 Fifteen miles away are the Pima In- dians, living in semi-circu,ar nuts of adobe and straw, and cutting mesquite wood from the desert, which they cart to town to sell. Scattered over the valley are remains of ancient mounds and ditches, and thirty-five miles away ! is Casa Grande, the immense pueblo whose ruined masonry reminds us that

 Water-this is the great problem of Arizona Prehistoric races dug ditches in this valley, and today men are still digging them. This dryness is at once the curse and the charm of the land. It spreads over a desert which man can fertilize only with infinite pains, but it makes of this desert a heaven of ref uge for the sick from all over the
 world, and for all persons who are tired of contenGing against cold and storms and winds, who long for pure sunshine to bask in The desert, lying silver in the sunlight, has a hOary and solemn beauty of It's own, very unlike the beauty of green fields and thick forests. but quite as potent. It seems the most ancient thing on earth, it sug- gcsts immensities of time. One meas ures it not by years, but by vast geo. logical ages, so strong is the spell of it's antiquity. Punches of gray sage brush and ragged mesquite emphasize rather than relieve the barrenness; they do not seem to grow any more than the sands they spring from. And out of this harsh and dwarfish life rise everywhere tall columns of cactus, sol emn monuments over the graves of worlds.

Their cry is always for drier air, and they lunch under clumps of prickly mesquite CT camp out in the sage brush. In Ari- zona even in winter the health seeker may sleep out of doors, and in sum mer all the world follows his example. There is no dampness in the ground, there are no penetrating dews.

 At Phoenix itself, arriving late at night at the Adams hotel I found my self once more in a modern and sophls- ticated environment-a regulation ho- tel. with velvet carpets and the latest Grand Rapids idea in furniture, with wide pcrches inviting the sun, on which promenaded respectable tailor made tourists from Chicago and Can ada and even Boston. The only dis tinguishable difference between these people and those at the Auditorium was the omnipresent sombrero. Wheth- CT ycu be young or old, male or female, rich or poor, you must wear the som- brero in Phoenix.

A DESIRABLE LOCATION

Among the many desirable locations and points of interest in the Salt Riv T valley attention may be called to the settlement six miles northeast of Phoe- nix. situated about midway between het Indian school and the falls of the Ari- zona canal Four years ago this local ity was little more than barren desert
 but owing to the thrift, enterprise and untiring energy of those who have made their homes there, also of those who have improved land for others, and the unquestiOnable natural advan- tages, it is bound to become one of the most important rural settlements in the valley. The soil and climatic con dItlOns are especially well adapted to the culture of citrCus fruits, as the thrifty. well kept groves testify. It is claimed by many who are well posted and competent to judge, that the navel orange grove of B. A. Spaulding and ethOse in his charge, belonging to east ern parties, are the best young groves in the valley, while that of w. A. Will son Cn the same section is one of the best among the older ones.
 It will be surprise to some people to learn that more acreage $ devoted to the culture of citrus fruits in this neighbOrhOOd than in any other settle ment Of equal area in the valley That this is not more generally Known is principally due to the fact that the groves are young, most of them hay ing been planted three years ago, and consequently have borne little from it as yet. However, the owners have TO doubt that a year or two hence they will loom into equal promihenfe with M. W. Ward, V. c. Cook. Dri l lrdy and others who now monopoHzc most Of the attention because their 1rcves have been in bearing for several years. It is the united testimony of old or ange growers that their friends and admirers increase rapidly after their groves come into bearing. Some of the finest olive groves to be found in the territory are here. This locality is also becoming popular with eastern tourists Of wealth and refinement who come to improve their health and for recrea- tiOn. Among these may be mentioned Mrs Edward J. Phelps of Chicago. .Mr Philip GOrmully of the Rambler ticycfe works, MT. H. H. Campbell the well known banker Of Boston, New York and London, and his friend. Mr. w. R. CauIkins, electrical and mechanical en- gineer of Cleveland Ohio. All Of these people anG many others have stated that in their opinion this is one of the choicest sections of the whole Salt River valley The improvements are of a substantial character showing the faith the own CTS have in the future of this place. The house recently completed by c. w. Perkins Of Cedar Rapids, la, would be . credit to almost any community Many improvements are either under way or will be commenced in the near future, and what this locality stands most in need of at present is name, a want which the progressive citizens no doubt will soon supply

BREEDING FLOODED HORSES.

That the Salt River valley is the ideal place for raising blooded horses both standard bred and thoroughbreds has been more than proven. The time is coming, and that soon, when there will be many farms devoted to the breeding of blooded horses. The pio- neer farm of this kind in the valley is that of T. w. Pemberton. located two miles out on North Seventh street. Here Mr Pemberton has established an ideal home and horse farm
 He has not a great range but farm of eighty acres of as fine land as the sun shines on. A nice country houSe surrounded by pomegranates, peach and other fruit trees with gian1 rose bushes about the porches is the center setting to this model farm and set ting too that is most attractive to the visitor. To the rear of the house are the stables, well arranged with box stalls so constructed as to be very warm and coZy in winter and well ven tilated and cool in the summer months. Above all, everything is kept neat and clean, showing the direction aud care of good business man. With the eX- ception of the field on which the half mile track is located all the felds are of ten acres in extent, giving the place the appearance of one of those splendid stock farms of Kentucky
 Mir Pemberton began from the foun- dation, breeding all the animals on his place. At the head of the stud is Boy dello, years old, sired by Boydell. he by that great getter of trotters, Elec- tioneer, dam by Durango Chief, by Du- rango. Boydello has a record of

CLIMATE CERTIFIC ATES.

The lay mind is greatly impressed and fascinated by the remarkable progress made by medical men in bac- teriology and the kindred scientific branches of medicine but after all the greatest advance lies in the secondary benefits attained as a result of these discoveries, namely, the more accurate knowledge of disease and the increased ability to cope with it.
 The most substantial proof of the advance of medicine is the increased success of medical men in treating the organic diseases. These formerly were.

This company owns c very valuabla group of mines sIIuated in Warren mining district, county of COchiSe, Arizona, lying immediately east of and adjoining the town of Bisbee, and ad- joining the property of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company on the north The latter company has been in operation for about twenty years and employs about f,50C men daily in the operation of its mammoth mine and smelters, and as a result have produced copper to over 3s,0O0,- 900 pounds during the year 1893, and the net proceeds of such production are reported to have been over $2.000 900, and it has been said by experienced miners who have been under th5ir en- ploy for years, that the Queen mine now has sufficient ore in sight to keep them in constant operation for the next twenty years, without further develop ment.
 Is it not reasonable to believe that the property of the Cochise company is fully as valuable when it is within such close proximity to such a won derful mine?
 The blasts set off in the underground workings of the Queen property can easily be felt and heard at the shaft of our mine, and ofttimes the concussion has. attracted marked attention.
 The original owners of these valu- able mines are local business men, we'll and favorably known in Bisbee and surrounding vicinity. who are doing their utmost to make this enterprise a success in every respect. The board of directors are original owners, and are donating their rvices to the company until such time as the mine will pay dividends. They own the controlling interest in this property, and as protection to stockholders have placed their entire interest in escrow for d term of one year.

 Of the babies there are now about ten and there will be ten more before the first of May Like all high bred stock the intelligence and beauty of all the horses and colts on Mr Pember- tons place is marvellous. They seem almost human as they answer 70 the call of their individual names. One splendid mare came up to her master when called and being asked if she wanted her tail scratched gave a whinny in answer and turned half around, like baby waiting for it's back to be scratched.
 ''I was raised on a farm in the east said MT. Pemberton, "and am familiar with horse raising in that section, but l fully believe that the Salt River val ley is the finest place in the United States for the breeding of nigh grade stock. l believe it is ahead of Cali fOrnia, even. Our climate is such that colts can run on pasture all the year round and their growth is not stopped by the severe winter weather. as in New York, Illinois and even in Ken lucky and Tennessee. Our winters are only cool enough to be invigorating and there are not a dozen days in the year when horse cannot be worked on the track. One dces not have to guard against snows and cold rains and be careful of winter exercise for fear of pneumonia. We escape all those fea- lures of the east. And too, of course, because of these facts our colts develop more rapidly than elsewhere. I believe this valley the paradise of the horse breeder and hope to see a number of fine horse farms here in the near fu- ture."

considered mainly hopeless and the only mission of the medical man was to make the patients life as comfortable as possible. Now they are regarded in a far different light and there are very few cases in which the medical man does not hope by perseverance to either wholly effect a cure or greatly prolong life.
 One of the very greatest adjuncts in the treatment of these cases is proper climate. It furnishes the most favor able conditions under which treatment may be pursued. I feel no hesitancy in declaring, after an extensive study of climatology that the Salt River val ley of Arizona offers the greatest bene- fits not only to tuberculous patients but to those suffering from heart, liver kidney and nervous affections.
 Since climatology has become estab- lished. as a science it is possible to de- termine accurately by statistics what climates are suitable for different dis eases and the relative value of one eli mate to another. It is just in these scientific and exact tests that the eli mate of Phoenix and the Salt River valley eXcels all others. It surpasses any station in California in dryness and also in sunshine. It has the high est winter temperature of any station where a dry atmosphere is to be Ob- tained. It has less wind than any southwestern region. These points are unimportant to one who is strong and we'll but to one who is weak and ill and fighting for life they are of inesti- mable value and comfort. What makes the climate of Phoenix practi- cally unique is the combination of the foregoing features with a low altitude and this last is of supreme importance where disease is advanced beyond the incipient stage Not only in affections of the heart but also of the lungs, kid neys and liver the heart is greatly weakened by the disease and the de- mands upon the heart made by high altitude will often neutralize the bene- fits of its ether features, whereas Phoenix has every advantage and no dra wbacks. And while many points in this country are unquestionably bene- fcial to wasting diseases, I am positive Phoenix is the most favorable point, and that it will most often furnish the conditions that will turn the scale of disease and bring health aC>4 hope out of illness and despair.
