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 sufti-- cient water to irrigate this vast body of land
 THE CASA CYANIDE VALLEY CANAL is forty three miles in length and covers 60,00O 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. reservoir covering .60O acres, having storage capacity of eight billion gal Ions, in the southeast corner of township U, range 8, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below 1t, but those above suffer by shortage of water during few weeks In summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con struction 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.

 sUNsTRoKE IS UNKNOWN In fact. in 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 a registered temperature of no degrees is not as oppres- The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact, and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be fulls 30 degrees. At nearly all times there is a 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,

 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 that he is mot here for his health, it is an 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 . few weeks.

that New Orleans has been one of the
chief ports used by Boer agents in Sc.

used largely in their shipment. Corn,
it seems, has been one of the principal
staples bought for the purpose and has
been shipped from this port withou,

The British authorities, however, ap'
pear to have been possessed of more OF
