 THE VILLAGE OF YUMA. 1 Although the town of Yuma is tie second , oldest colnmunity in the Territory cf Ari- zons, it is astonishing how Ee5'a its ce- ] .ources are known to the wo..d &5 Large, and { now slightly developed ia she natural wealth i of the county This Is owing partly to Yuma's reputation for unbcarable heat, ani partly to the fact that, lying next to Cali fornia, is has been assumed that the county has been thoroughly rrospected for mineral wealth. and prospectors have, in the nls.n kept the travelled highways in crossing its ! Territory. As matter of fact one suffers less from the heat hare tLan in almost all of the settled communities of the east, owing to the dryness et the atmosphere, and there i> no healthier climate on God's footstool. People labor out Of doer from the rising to the setting of the suu, and suffer TO in 1 convenience. There has never been known, in this section of country, an authentic case l of sunstroke. Our climate, taken in time, never fails TO cure pulmonary compla;.. B oi any description. Disease such as smalt9cx, cholera, etc., rarely visit US, and then o1ly in a very mild form, and are never fats.I ex- cept through the pe;1srs;ty of patients. 1 Contrary to the belief oS the uuinforrled, { the dry heat Of the sumuer months is es- i pacially conducive to good health and ex- oeptional vigor, acting naturally upon tha human system with the same effect as the artificial result of Turkish bath-pprefy- ing and cenovating it. AS further matter of fact, this county has never been even saperfcially suspected. and it is only nou that people are beginning to search it's hills witk any degree et systematic en5husiasn. fer the mineral wealth hidden there 0w ing to the falling of in the price of. silver deposits of geld only are being sought for and the present result is little short ef mar yelous h aD sections of the county from ! the Sonora Ese to Williams Fork di5ooverie; srs daily being made, and the greater the 1 devaionmsat the greater kao wealth dis played. Wherever the prospeotoT plant. hs fost. se8Ees Of gold confront him or are brought to light by the Investigating stroke, ol k;s pick.
 Portions Of tho country traversed fol years by commonly traveled trails are dsvel 1 o7ing into rich storehouses Of golden wealth New and rich placers are constantly 3eing ! discovered, and shipments of placer golt from this 2oint through Wells Fargo ! ! Co.'S Express, are steadily increasing Il valpa. From mining standpoint Yuma County is rapidly leading the Territory, anc yet as .f,sr as that industry is concerned this section has received kut Httle rsceg nItion.
 Agricnleura,ly the country is vastly i'm proving. Enterprises tha5 have lain dor nant tus last two years, owing to the gen eral financial depression and consequent dearth Of money for investment purnoses are waking up to new Life and vigor Money : is being attracted il this direction, and on an s:dos can be distinguished that iud4fn ao!e stir which is tue precursor of an indus trial awakening. Even within these last two years Of financial stringency and de pressjon there has been 6, steady If slow in- crease in agricultural development and wealth. A greater area of old farms ha, Teen Pnt under cultivation, and new lands nave been .nclosed and new fields etartsd 4 large section O. 2la;sden Heights has bee, plantsJ to fruit trees, field of cereal, sad alfalfa have been added the c@-y,yate5 area on the Colorado rive~ ha2c~ torn; tn, lands lying under the N 0hawk and Farmer. canals have been made to yield heavy crop. of every variety Of agricultural products, in ether sections of the Giln valley. and ta. gardens of Yuma have been added to ano ] beautifed i1 fruits, flowers and shubbery tc a more than appreciabls extent.
