tiEuous body stretching to a distance of two or
 three miles, and showing a thickness at right angles to the Stratifcation of no less than 60OC or S, S,GO0 or perhaps 10 600 feet. and there is no evidence whatever of plication. The Stratifca- tion is fat and as regular as the leaves of a book. Usually we detect more or less plication or folding in such section, but there is no evi- dence of any folding whatever in this series. There is. however. a great difference in the composition Of the layers of these rocky ridges, now all turned black upon the surface--a condi- ton of coloring which seems to attend all the rock outcrops along the lower Colorado and the origin of which, though discussed by Humboldt after noting similar blackening of the rocks along the Orinoco, has not yet been satisfactory explained. This general blaclcning of the sur face hides the changes Of composition, which may be noted by careful and close inspection.
 In some places hornblerdic states are more developed than the mica slate and at others the micaccouS schistose characters predominate and are accompanied by layers of quartzite in terleaved and three or four feet in thickness sometimes three or four inches, and some foliated quartz having little films of mica in it. These quartz beds are members of the series, but have been located as lodges and, it is claimed, are gold bearing. The quartz has little or no resemblance to vein quartz, and yet at several points in the eutcrop there are stains of green color, apparently from the dccomposi- tion of ore like that which has given green stains to the croppingS of the Fortuna
 Several di1e-like seams or veins of white al bite or soda feldspar cut directly across the bedding of the mica slate series. These feldspa- thic dikes do not appear to have any relation to the ore bearing vein or lode of the Fortuna. These dikes are extremely irregular and appear to have filled cross fractures or breaks of the regular strata.
 Coarse granite was noted at the northern point of the Gila range, along the railroad, but no evidences were found of the existence of stratified Paleozoic or secondary rocks. The mica SlateS series referred to is the Huronian or Arch1an.

struct reservoirs or lakes in which to receive and store the overflow. There are natural basins or dry lakes into which by simple means the water could be conveyed.
 The lands situated in and about the Gila val ley may conveniently be classified as follows: First, the bottom or overflow lands; 2 slightly higher valleys, lands subject to no overflow; 3, mesas or sloping uplandS; f, high but compar- ativcly level plains; 5, mountains.
 The bottom lands as well those slightly higher stretch along either side of the Gila and Colorado rivers for varying distances north and south, until they meet the more elevated mesas which rise from the valley. The bottoms lie directly along the river and are subject to inun- dation annually. Immediately following the subsistence of the waters the local Indians were in former times accumtomed to plant corn pumpkins, melons and other vegetables. These spring into maturity with startling rapidity, rarely failing to yield bountifully without addi- tional irrigation The custom is occasionally followed by resident farmers to this day, with excellent results, although but single crop can be harvested. These bottoms form D per cent of the valley lands and may without difficulty be secured from further invasion by system of dikeS and leveeS, if deemed necessary and desir able. The soil throughout the valley is a rich browniSh yellow sandy loam, generous, mellow, porous with depth ranging from to 20 feet the whole resting upon underlying strata of gravel end sand that readily carry from the surface such excess of water as might otherwise prove injurious to seeds and growing plants.
 Concerning the geological formation of these lands, the following from the report of the citizens executive committee is sufficiently comprehensive:
 There is unmiStakable geologic evidence that all this land during some prehistoric period was covered with water, constituting in fact an enormous lake the surfaces rising in places to lying at the bottom made by the washing and erosion of the surrounding mountains. The soda from the decomposed vegetation, the mag neSia and lime from the magnesium-lime fOrma- tions, and the potash from the decomposing granite rocks were carried with unceasing re- gularity year by year. until deposited in the bottom. Eventually upon the disappearance of the lake, the rich fertile alluvium, than which there is none better, was left to reward the efforts of the modern huSbandmen. But nature, not yet satisfied with her handiwork, directed the accumulation of the detrituS washed from the distant mountainous region. As a result, the soil is extremely rich in the elements best adapted to thorough fertilization, for it contains a certain amount of organic matter which, on dccompoSing. further enhances it's agricultural

value. By constant overflow and change of channel the deposits are evenly distributed over considerable areas, the process continuing through centuries. These soils are further en. riched by decomposed organic contributions, including the sandStoneS, marlS, limestones shales, etc. Besides the ingredients mentioned chemical analysis shows that iron ammonia, and phosphoric acid enter into it's composition in the proportions best adapted to add to it's productive qualities The extremes of tempera- ture are somewhat greater than on the high lands but there is also more moisture.
 "The bottom lands are so easily cultivated that it is not uncommon, after clearing the sur face from the brush and stubble, to pass over the ground with an ordinary cultivator single time, afterwards sowing to grain and grass In three or four months large crops are harvested, the soil meanwhile being entirely innocent of the blow. All plants seem to grow rapidly, maturing remarkably early. Indications of an cient ditcheS are apparent throughout the val ley, showing plainly the existence of irrigation works by the ancient AztecS. CuriOusly enough,
 in certain instances the identical routes of these long extinct people have been followed for codSideratable distances by their modern sue cessors."
 THE VALLEYS CF THE COLORADO.
 Several miles above Yuma, in the neighbor- hood of Explorers Pass, near the Purple Hills, the great Colorado River Valley proper com mences. From this point northerly the river is shut in by cliffs which, with intervening noun tain systems, absolutely preclude the possibility of canal construction. Passing southward, the cliffs are seen to gradually disappear until they become merged in the low bottom lands. The bottom meanwhile widens with every mile until the Gulf of California is reached. There are large quantities of land which could be made productive were irrigation practicable. These are general fertile bottoms inclining toward the river and covered in spots with dense under growth and cottonwood and mesquite trees. Considerable of the valley is raised above the river as much as 100 feet, and to this height water must be brought as the bottoms arc dur Ing certain months completely overfowed by the waters of the swollen streams. The soil is extraordinarily rich and particularly adapted to the cultivation of sugar, rice, and all the tex tile plants. in addition to an extended list of tropical, semitropical, and temperate products. According to careful chemical analysis, the fertilizing mud carried by the Colorado closely resembles that of the waters of the Nile while its volume at low water has been estimated by competent authority as sufficient to easily irri gate more than ,75O, 900 acres."
 The lands of the lower Colorado River Valley have not boen developed very extensively, owing to the litigation over what is known as the AlgodoneS land grant which has been in the courts for the last decade The vexed question has lately been settled by the U. s. Supreme Court in favor of the government.

The following article Is extracted from Governor Murphy's annual report to the Secretary of the Interior and i: an interesting presentation of facts re garding some of the mineral resources of Yuma county, and description ot two of the richest gold mines; also something of the Castle Dome lead mines:
 KING OF ARIZONA.
 The gold-bearing property, known for time as the Gleason has been transferred to the King of Arizona Mining and Milling Company a cor poration organized under the laws of the Terri fiery of Arizona, with capitalization of 5OOO,00C shares of par value of Sl each. This company owns four full claims-the Homestake, the King of Arizona, the Last Hope, and the Mucho Bueno This district lies about thirty five miles due east of thd Castle Dome Land ing. on the Colorado River It is north of the Gila River and about 70 miles from Mohawk Summit, on the Southern Pacific Railroad. This is the nearest station on the railway. There are several other locations besides those conveyed to the King of Arizona.
 The HomeStaEe location covers the chief workings up to this date. There is on this claim a strong vein of gold-6earing quartz. This lode or vein has three well-marzed divisions or layers. On the hanging wall there is soft layer from to 31S inches wide, which averages about 800 per ton in value. Next below this there is Q middle layer CT body of quartz about 20 inches thick which will average about 500 to sIO0 per ton in value. The remainder of the vein, so far as it is exposed by the shaft aver ages about S24 per ton. Test holes have been drilled feet deep into the foot wall, and all are in ore. The shaft by which the exposure of the nature of the vein has been made is POO feet deep and follows the dip of the hanging wall distance of 40 feet eaSterly and 30 feet westerly. These show a continuity of vein having the same characters and values develop ed by the shaft The hill rises rapidly both east and west of the shaft so that the height of backs on the lode above the drifts is greater than at the shaft. At point about 30 feet west of the shaft and a level with the collar of the shaft the vein has been croSScut from wall to wall showing it IS feet wide at that point. The orc in the croSScut is of about the same grade as that in the shaft. The croppings of the vein may be followed for some 700 feet of the Home stake shaft to a second opening, known as ''The King of Arizona Shaft" This shaft is about 50 feet deep, and by means of drill holes the vein is shown to be II feet in width and has an aver age value of Sl0 per ton. At point 300 feet east of the Homestake shaft tunnel has been made which crosscuts the vein 160 feet below the sur face. At this point the hanging wall vein is IS inches wide and has an average value of $50 per ton The tunnel then passes through 30 feet of vein matter running about B pei ton, thence through feet of ore carrying S2s per ton to the foot wall. The total distance from hanging wall to foot wall along this tunnel is 20 feet. drift has been run along the foot wall to the Home stake shaft at a distance of 300 feet. and the average value of the ore exposed is sl4 per ton

 aInd Beauty

The most beautiful thing ill the world is the baby, all dimples and joy. The most pitiful thing is that same baby, thin and in pain. And the mother does not know that a little fat makes all the differ ence.
 Dimples and joy have gone, and left hollows and fear; the fat, that was comfort and color and curve--all but pity and love--is gone.
 :, The little one gets no fat from her food. There is some thing wrong;itis either her food or food-mill. She has had no fat for weeks; is living on what she had stored in that plump little body of hers; and that is gone. She is starving for fat; it is death, be quick!
 Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is the fat she can take; 1t will save her.
