Pacific railway in the vicinity of Casa Grande and Arizola is at present, and with good reascn considered one of the most desirable portions of this magnificent Southern Ari- zona. Great changes have been made in the appearance of this part of the valley during the last four years. 1t was about that long age 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 . sufti- cient water to irrigate this vast body of land

 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.

It is also the natural home of alfalfa, which grows in the most prolific manner. The grape does exceptionally well in this valley, and wine and raisin culture is destin- ed to become prominent industry. Citrus fruits have been cultivated to limited extent; there are a number of orange trees in the neighborhood of Florence which bear their golden fruit each year without pro lection, and few date palm trees are also in full bearing. The season is from six weeks to two months earlier than Southern Califor- mia, which givesfruit growers an appreciat- ed advantage in

A RAILROAD CENTER.

At present it contains population ot about 1500, but with the completion of these two railroads and the Butte reservoir no city in Arizona can approach it for natural advantages, and q large increase in popula- tion will follow. Florence is at an elevation of 15I5 feet above sea level, situated near the railroad station of Casa Grande, with which it is connected by an elegantly. equipped daily stage line. Going and coming stages run by the old Casa GraRde ruins, and passengers are allowed a short time to in spect them.

guNsrRoKH Is UNKNowN

In fact, in a residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat, and was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that u registered temperature of no degrees is not as oppres- sive as 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact, and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be 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,

iIcEs OF LAND.

Improved lands. with government title and water right, can be bought for from $20 to $50 per acre, according to location and im- provements. In the immediate neighbor- hood and to the south of the Casa Grande ruins there are thousands of acres covered open to settlement. These are among the choicest in the valley. Water in inexhausti- ble quantity is found at depth of from twenty to thirty feet; in fact, river seems to be flowing underneath. Here is a splen- did opportunity to take up and improve land with a pumping system of irrigation, which is said to be successful on small tracts.
 However. with the completion of the Butte reservoir. pumping will be a thing of the past, and it is only mentioned here for the purpose of showing what can be done, and to magnify the further fact that what was once considered
