IN RICH COUNTRY.

MT. c. D. Baker is at the Adams
 today from Yuma. He is enthus-
 iastic over the prospects of opening
 up rich agricultural section close
 to Yuma. While the courts have
 clogged the wheels of the State of
 Arizona Improvement company
 there is still hope that the valley
 near Yuma will be watered by some
 company soon.
 "We have richer agricultural section than you have here," said
 Mir. Baker this morning. "That is,
 we produce more to the acre than
 the ranchers of the Salt River val
 ley, but we have the advantage of an abundance of water at all times of the year. As many as eight crops of alfalfa are raised by our ranchers. Here in the Salt River valley you raise but three or four,
 but with plenty Of water no doubt you could do as we'll as we do, ex- cept so far as the productive quail ties of the two sections are concern ed. We think our land is richer than yours"
 MT. Baker says that mining is on the advance in Yuma county. The King of Arizona shipped it's first bullion last week, and it will in the future be steady producer. Some ot the copper prospects in the mountains of Yuma county are be- ing developed with good results Herald.
 A pretty wedding took place yester- day afternoon at the residence of MT. and Mrs. Shook at the Pacific Clay Works. Tine contracting parties were MT. Hatch of Yuma, Arizona, and Miss Emily Maddox of Corona. The bride looked very sweet and was gowned most becomingly. The bridegroom wore the conventional black and look ed suppremely happy. After the cere- mony light refreshments were served. The happy couple left on the afternoon west-bound train on their honeymoon trip and showers of rice. They will visit Catalina, Mt. Lowe, Santa MoQica and Los Angeles before leaving for Arizona.-COrona Courier.
 The old saw "when doctors disagree" etc., was forcibIy illustrated one even ing this week when couple of peace officers locked arms in mortal combat. l The scrap was impromptu and was to have been private, but it was witnessed by few intimates, who | report it as being most animated for a few minutes. The combatants proved 1 that they were born and bred in the | arena and while no bodily damage was done dire threats of disaster to the peace and happiness of each of the contesting parties punctured the at and it was some time before the white dove of peace hOvered OCT the scene. AlPs we'll that ends well. |
 SUPERINTENDENT B. F. Porter, of | the Maricopa and Phoenix road this received a communication from Yuma that he proposes to frame and hang in his office says | the Phoenix Herald. The letter reads: "The bearer, P. M. Mor- rison, and bis companions would like to travel on your road from Maricopa to Phoenix and return, so I would like to know if you have any objections at all Will close for this time, hoping to kear from you soon. Respectfully, Patrick McGllI." The signature is under scored in red ink, which is an in dication that the writer means what he says, How many companions Mir. Harrison will have is not stat ed, and Superintendent Porter has to inquire more fully into the invasion of Yumaites lest more cars are required to carry them to Phoenix than the company usually runs on it's passenger train. Patrick the manager of Mir. Harris son and his companions, IS not known in Phoenix.
