4 white nan first set foot on what Is now Yuma County in 177l. It Is the southwest division of the Territory, and oae of the four original counties of the Ter ritory. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in a few years ex- meet to See Yuma County rated az the richest in the Territory
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali fornia catches of Arizona IS that of the picturesque town of Yuma, which IS snugiy eisuated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills, upon whose crests and sides the roo6ern homes of our superior civilization are crowding the adobe dwellings into sternal oblivion. Yuma IS the gateway 0 ..rizona, the new empire Of the West upon whose undeveloped riches the eyes Of the country are at present turned, and as such' ., is bound to grow and prosper with rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographl- cal position we find that she IS the center of a country whose agricultural possiblli' ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility Of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting onIy water to become paradise oi oloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Tunla's very doors, but already a reaction is taking place ard many enterprises are en foot to supply the life-giving waters oi she yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth

LANDS AND SOILS.

The lands of Yuma County comprise the rivel bottoms and valleys and the uplands or mesas The
 bottom ands are moister and slightly mere fertile if, indeed, it is possible to make comparisons
 where all are wonderfully productive and prolific The uplands or mesas are warmer and perhaps
 lightly for better the cultivation of the citrus fruits Yuma contains variety of soil The valley land
 of the Gila and Colorado rivers have for the most
 part a deep sedimentary soii of brownish, gray
 sandy loan, resting, in most places, upon a graz clay subsoil st depth of from ten to twenty feet
 below the surface, The clay subsol forms a hard
 pan which is impervious to water These soils have been slowly formed by the decomposition Of shades sandstones, msTls. linestones etc.. mixed with or ! ganic and vegetable matter, washed down by the mighty rivers and have been gradually deposited | during the of centuries. The fertilizing brownish mud held in the wat oIof the Colorado and Gila rivers resembles that from the Nile and | it's quantity varies from O.1 to O.5 per cent, though the water hen considerably discoIor- ed by mud Is good drink, resembling in this res- pect the Missouri river water. chemical analysis of the sediments of the Colorado and of the Nile exhibits wonderful similarity in the constituent parts of each. That of the Colorado exhibiting a trife less potassa, most phosphoric acid and ear
 bonade of limestone beds through which the Colo rado passes. In other respects the sediment of the Colorado is almost identical with tb at of the Nile
 It will be noticed therefore, that when this water IS used for irrigation it is superior to artesian waters since it is constantly supplying the land with the richestfertilizing elements. The soil of the valley

In it's mechanical composition it's particles are in state of very fine division which renders 1t more productive than coarser soils !

RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.

Yu regard to climate, healthiulness, ter fility ana -productiveness of soil, facilities for cultivation, irrigation and abundance of water supply, variety of resources and cheap transportation by rail and by water, no part of Ari5on can surpass Yuma county, which is destined to become one of richest and most prosperous counties ln Arizona.
 It lies between 320 O0' and 34' 2O' north attitude and IlSo &0' and ll40 40' west lonritrede. It contains 6,4SS, 320 acres. It is about as large as the States of Rhode Island. Connecticut and Delaware com bixed, oc as large as either New Hampshire, Vermont or Massachusetts.
 The western boundary Of Yuma County is formed by the Colorado river, which separates Arizona from California. The county is bounded on the north by Williams Fork and the Santa Maria rIver, whose waters flow into the Colorado; OF the east hv the counties of Pima, Maricopa and YaYapai, and on the south by Sonora, Mexico. Its county seat is She town of Yuma,
 The Colorado river drains the entire ter ritory of Arizona, and every drop Of water which falls op its mountains and plaius ands its 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 ;hg SHOWS cause a greater depth of water ;n this riv,zr in summer Shan ID winter. thus urnishing the most water tt the season ,hen it Is most required for the purposes
 irrigation and agriculture.
 will be seen that for the entire distance ,eng its western boundary, Yuma County posse, ses the great advantage of cheap water transportation.
 The GiIa river rises ln the western part 2f New Mexico and IS fed by numerous streams, among the most prominent O. which are the San Pedro, Agua Fria, Has zayampa and Salt rivers. It aows west shrough Yuma County and emptics into the Colorado at the town oI Yuma.
 Yuma county, traversed by these great rivers from its northern to its southern, and from its eastern to its western bound aries, possesses a far greater water supply than any othef county in the Territory, and far more than can be found in all Cali .a-nia
 This water is BOW being diverted from its natural channels by means of numerous large irrigating canals, and utilized for the n,o1,ose of reciaiming and irrigating the immense tracts of lands which lie in this favored country, and which are as fertile as ans in the world.
 The Southern Pacific Railroad crosses the Colorado river at the town of Yuma and rang through the county, following the ccnoroi course, and at an average distance of about four miles south of the Gila liver, rendering al the lands susceptible of irri- gstion and cultivation, can dnd an easy outlet in this way and can be transpol ted osu the markets and centers of population ip the East or West.
 Another competing railroad IS projected from San Diego, California, to tie town of Yuma, and thence along the north siGe of the Gila river. Thus Tuma County will nave exceptional railroad advantages.

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of sn era of wonderful social an1 industrial de- velopment. There can't be doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she has waited so long is breaking at last. There is every promise of day of great pros- perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of Q new and enel gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people, while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small im- pression as they transpired siugly, is now commanding for her full share of atten- ton and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone s-begging for ownership. There is scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates 8 great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lend IS than this. Arizona has reached that clinacticel period which every western state has ex' perienced sometime in its history when, after long and weary struggle and doubt, with each side of the balance first up and then down, the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and sunhurs' of energizing hope has thrilled tho droop' ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com pletion of two transcontinental lines O1 railroad across her territory has rather dropped out of public attention. but in that time she has been quietly ac' cumulatiDg fund of substantial wealth and a force of moral character which qualify her now to rise up and take hel destiny in her own hands.
 | The population of Arizona is Mexican. This is a mistake of great importance from the moral point of view. There is but one considerable center of Mexican population in the territory, the city of Tucson, and even there it is not by any means at pres ent the predominating element. It think it is certain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large Mexican population as 1 Colorado and not above one-tenth as much as New Mexico. -|'Fitz- Mae" in Denver ! News.

Its Attractions and Advantages as a

It's Attractions and Advantages as 8
 Place of Residence in Winter.
 Whitelaw Reid. owner and editor of the New York Tribune, who has spent the last two winters in Arizona for the benefit oi 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 vitaIly 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 other during the day. Of course there were good many days which weather observer would de scribe as "cloudy," and some chat were ''showery; but during these five months from No, ember, 1885, to May, lS96,) there 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 Iaud of sunshine. AS to details:
 TEMPERATURE.

April. The same reports show the highest and lowest temperatures, averaged for eight years, at the same place, as follows: For November 7S1I degrees and 42 degrees, December 731s degrees and 36I degrees, January 65H degrees and g degrees, Feb ruary 7l% degrees and S51s de rees. March 8l I degrees and Al degrees and April S61s 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. ] have never seen it clearer anyw here in the world. It seems to have about the same breoing and exhilarating qualities as the air of the Great Sahara in Northern Africa, or of the deserts about Mount Sinai, in Arabia Petraea. It is much drier than in 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 tc
 me about the same in quality as the air on the Nile between Assouan and Wady Halfa, but somewhat cooler.
