A white man first set foot on what is now Yuma County in l77l. It is the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter ritory. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in 8 few years ex- peet te ace Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali iernia catches of Arizona is that Of the uicturesoue town of Yuma, which is snugly situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hIlls, upon whose crests and sides the modern homes of our superior civilization gre crowding the adobe dwellings into 4terual oblivion. Yuma is the gateway o .,rizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undereloped riches the eyes of the country are at present turned, and as such,
 is bcxnd to grow and prosper with rapidity that at present can hardly De re- slized. But coupled with her geographi- oal pesition we find that she is the center of a country whose agricultural possiblli- ties are practically unlimited, beisg sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting only water to become paradise oi bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious huid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on fect to supply the fe-giving waters oi the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

It's Attractions and Advantages as g
 Place of Residence in Winter.

Whitelaw Reid. owner aid editor of the New York Tribune, who has spent the last two winters in AI.zona for the benefit of his health, writes entertainingly and in structively concerning that part of the country. Mir. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as place for winter residence, and there appears to be such 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 for me to take exercise in the open air at some time or ether during the Jay. Of course there were a good many days which weather observer would de- scribe as cloudy" and some that were ''showery; but during these five months tfrom No' ember, 1895, to May, lS96,) here 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 Luxor, Arizona is the laud If sunshine. As to details:

MINES.

There is no section of the United States, or probably of the earth, more rich in min eral wealth than the County of Yuma. Al the country north, east and south of Yuma lies directly within the main gold belt that commences in Alaska and ends in Mexico From the San Bornardino mountains ir California to the Sonora boundary line the mountains and hills are exceptionally rich il the precious metal, as though demonstrating the theory often advanced that the richest gold mines are found bordering the beds oi

RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.

In regard to climate, healthfulness, fer tility and produotiveness of soil, facilities for cultivation, irrigation and abundance of water supply, variety of resources and oheap transportation by rail and by water, no part of Arison can surpass Yuma county, which is destined to become one ot richest and most prosperous counties ln Arizona.
 It lies between 32e Oe' and 340 2o' north atitude and llso 2o' and ll4' 40' west longitude. It contains 6. .4S6. .S2O acres. It is about as large as the States of Rhode Island. Connecticut and Delaware com hized, or as large as either New Hampshire, Vermont or Massachusetts.
 The western boundary of Yuma County ie formed by the Colorado river, which seuarates Arizona from California. The county is bounded on the north by Williams Ferk and the Santa Maria rlver. whose waters flow into the Colorado; on the east bv the counties of Pima, Maricopa and Yayapai. and on the south by Sonora, Mexico. Its county seat is the town ot Yuma
 The Colorado river drains the entire ter ritory of Arizona, and every drop ot water which falls on its mountains and plains ands it's 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 8 greater depth of water in this riyyr Tn summer than Tn winter. thus furnishing the most water at the season when it is most required for the purposes firrigation and agriculture.
 it will be seen that for the entire distance ..one it's western boundary, Yuma County posse. ses the great advantage of cheap water transportation.
 The Gila river rises in the western part of New Mexico and is fed by numerous streams, among the most prominent of which are the San Pedro, Agaa Fria, Has sayampa and Salt rivers. It flows west through Yuma County and erpties into the Colorado at the town of Yuma.
 Yuma county, traversed by these great rivers from its northern to its southern, and from its eastern to its western bound aries, possesses far greater water supply than any other county in the Territory, and far more than can be found in all Cali fernis.
 This water is now being diverted from its natural channels by means ot numerous large irrigating canals. and utilized for the purpose of retaining and irrigeting the immense tracts of lanos which lie in this favored country, and which are as fertile as aay in the world.
 The Southern Pacific Railroad crosses the Colorado river at the town of Yuma and runs through the county, following the eererol course, and at an average distance of about four miles south, of the Gila river, rendering all the lands susceptible of irri- asioa and cultivation, can find an easy outlet in this way and can be transports ted osll the markets and osnters of population ih the East or West.
 Another competing railroad is projected from San Diego. California, to tte town of Yuma, and thence along the north side of the Gila river Thss Yuma County will nave exceptional railroad advantages.

THECLIMATE OF YUMA.

The climate of Yuma tor nins months of .he year has no equal, as we believe, in the world, and during the remaining three months of the year, comprising June, July and August, the heat is not oppressive. Even though the thermometer in mid-sum- rh.r may al times rise above l00', and oc- easionally e> en reach ll00, yet, owiss to the absence of moisture in the air, 1t IS not expressive. The atmosphere ia pure, light snd balmy. When the mercury marks the Highest extre-7e of heat, person does not faol that oppression or debility which is

4xtiuct oceans. The great Colorado desert vaa onee m inland sec, cut of centuries and 1crhaps ages ago from the main ocean, laa7- pg it's waters to evapoIate ID this intense neat. Throu.hout all the country borIter- ing the desert. including this section, nlch mines are being constantly discoTeCetl, and some of rooeat 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 porten3 great mining boom for this county which will culrninate as early as the coming lail in an inroad 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 taker, but the tendency of prospectors is to go long dis tance of into strange lands rather than to seek for mines in 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 it's mineral secrets are still in effect secrets, for thousands upon thousands might be wander ing through the rock-ribbed fastnesses 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 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, ,0O0 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 CT lCok in the county was never better, still l.lost of the silver and lead mines are idle, owing to the low value of these metals.

VALLEYS OF THE COLORADO AMI
 GILA,

In the valleys of the Colt trado and the Gila rivers there is roem for thousands. It is not too much to say that nowhere within the limits of this broad Union can be found a more desirable region for the making of a home. No laborious clearing of the land is repaired; it lies almost ready for the blow Trees and shrubbery have so rapid growth that within eighteen months the immig ant can surround his abode with attract;C Crs which would require years to mature in less fayored climates. Fruits ripen and are ready for market full month before the California products. The bright sunshine makes life luxury, and the pure dry atmes- phere brings health to all wbo 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 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 1 short of doing justice in this wonderful bit of country. Pineapples, dates, almonds and waluuts will do well. Strawberries, rasp- berries, blackberries, entrants, gocseberries, and all varieties of small fruits can be suc- cessfully cultivated. Indeed, Yuma County is not only the natural home of the citrus and semitropical fruits, as almost every fruit, nut, plant, grain, grass, or vegetable which cais 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 Ysma and Yuma County there can be no better investment for capital seeking large and renumerative returns than is af- forded here. With a 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 vestment and to home seekers a veritable paradise ill which to settle.
