ARIZONA. Her Great ReSOurceS-==SpIendid SOil===Fine Climate. Agriculture One of the Important Industries of Arizona.
ARIZONA.
No Fertilization of the Soil Neces- sary--Siit Deposited by Trri- gaIiOn Renders the Soil
 Rich in the Element
 of Fertility.
The Climate Conditions Favorable to Great
 Variety of Marketable Produce.

The following report from the direc- tor of the experint station, is published as giving fair resume of the concIu- sions which have heen reached in re- gard to agriculture in this territory:
 One of the most encouraging signs of the times in connections with Arizona is the growth of her agricultural interests. These interests, by creating a settled population and certain sources of wealth, insure the Territory as a whole, against those excessive fluctuations in popula- tion and finance which are so often observed in purely mining communities. Although but a small percentage of the total area of Arizona is under cultivation, yet when the actual amount and prodUctiveness of these lands is considered, the place of agriculture among the industries of the Territory is very important. Arizona has and always will have land in excess of the water supply available for irrigation, without which agriculture can. excepting in rare instances, hardly be considered. Out of about 72, 800 900 acres in the Territory only 5,7O0,O00 acres are privately owned, of which about 45O,OOO acres are under irrigation ditch. For the total amount of land under ditch, there is not sufficient water in all instances to insure crops; but in time there can be little doubt that the storage and development of water will lead to the successful irrigation Of much more than the area under ditch.
 The future of agriculture in Arizona is, with out question, more than usually good, and for the reason that the conditions Of soil, irrigation and climate combine to produce an uncommon variety and amount of marketable produce. The soil of Arizona, as is usual with the soils of arid regions, are rich in the elements of fertili- ty, requiring only the ever-needful water, skill, and industry in their management to secure abundant returns. The fertility of cultivated soils in irrigated regions is further assured by the deposite Of silt brought upon the land with irrigation water. The problems of fertilization, which become so serious in humid sections, are therefore of much less importance here and not to be so carefully reckOned with in connection with the future of our agriculture.
 The most marked advantage in connection with agriculture and horticulture, especially in southern Arizona, is the climate. From January to June the temperature resembles that of spring and early summer in the latitude of Ken lucky. From June to September the climate is 1 of subtropical fcrvCr, while from September to November th"ro k 8 second mild season Of tem- perate weather The winter season. from Nov

ember to January, though subject to sharp frosts in southern Arizona Is not seriously or even uncomIorta5ly cold
 Owing to this combination of seasons re- markable variety of crops may be found in Che same locality at different times of the year. Strawberries, which flourish in Greenland, may be found on the same land with dates and palms from Sahara. Alfalfa, the great forage of the arid West, fourishes alongside with wheat, corn, and sorghum, respectively characteristic of Minnesota, Illinois, and Kansas Oranges, lemons, and olives from California may be found in the same neighoOrhood with peanuts and sweet potatoes from Virginia. In brief many of the leading crops of both temperate and sub tropical countries, which arc not affected by too arid atmosphere or by the frosts of winter, flourish in southern Arizona In northern Ari- zOna, where the temperatures more resemble those of northern Illinois, many of the more dis tinctively temperate-regiOn crops flourish, such as potatoes, apples, and various small fruits.
 When, with this diversity of products is coupled @ healthful and for the most of the year agreeable, climate, it will be seen that agrioul- tural in Arizona possesses distinct advantages.

tinuous body stretching to distance of two or three miles, and showing a thickness at right angles to the st-atilcatio1 of no less than 600t or g O01 CT perhaps 10,1J0 feet, and there is no evidence whatever Of piicGCion. The stratifica- tion is Hat and as regular as tEe leaves of a
 book Usually we detect more or less plication or folding in such section, but there is no evi- dance Of any folding whatever in this series. There is, however, a great difference in the composition Of the layers o1 these rocky ridges, now al 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 blGckening of the rocks along the OriEoco, has not yet been satisfactory explained. This general blackening of the sur face hides the changes of composition, which may be noted by careful and close inspection.
 In some places hornblCndic states are more developed than the mica slate, and at others the micaceous 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 ha,ing 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 ct several points in the outcrop there are stains of green color, apparently from the decompos- Jion of ore like that which has given green stains to the croppings Of the Fortuna.
 Several dike-like seams or veins of white al- bite or soda fe,dspar cut directly across the bedding of the mica slate series. These feldspa- thic dilzes dc 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 10 evidences were found of the existence of stratified PaIeozoic or secondary rocks. The mica states series referred to is the Huronian or ArchRan.

from Governor Murphy's annual report to the Secretary Of the Interior and is 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-beariag property, known for time as the Gleason, has been transferred to the King Of Arizona IAining snd Milling Company, a cor porstien organized under the laws of the Terri tory Of Arizona with capitalization ot 0Ge. .0OC shares of par value oi SI each. This company onns four full clai1s-the HoneStake, the King of Arizona, the Last Hope. and the 1IuchO Beeno. This district lies about thirty five miles due east of thd Castle Dome Land ing, on the Colorado River. It is north ol the Gila River and about 4o miles from Mohawk Summit, ou 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 Homestakc location covers the chief workings up to this date. There is on this claim a strong vein of gold-oearing quartz. This lode or vein has three well-mGrked divisions or layers On the hanging wall there is soft layer from to 31s inches wide, which averages about g., ,S0O per ton in value. Next below this there is middle layer or body of quartz about 20 inches thick, which will average about S90 70 sl00 per ton in value. The remainder of the vein, so far as t is exposed by the shaft, aver ares about S24 per ton. Test holes have been drilled feet deep into the foot wall G1d all are in ore. The shaft by which the exposure of the nature of the vein has been made is 200 feet deep and follows the dip of the hanging wall distance Of 70 feet easterly and 30 feet westerly. These show 0 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 or the lode above the drifts is greater than at the shaft. At g point about 30 feet west of the shaft and on 0 level with the collar of the shaft the vein has been croSscut from wall to vail showing it IS feet wide at that point. The ore 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 h Iteet in width and has an cvec- age value of slO per ton. At point 300 feet cast of the Homestake shaft tunnel has been made which crosscuts the vein 1eO feet below the sur face. At this point the hanging wall vein is IS inches wide and has an average value of $50 per toE. The tunnel then passes through 30 feet of vein matter running about s3 per 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 40 feet. A drift has been run along the foot wall to the Home stake shaft at a distance Of 300 feet, and the average value oi the ore exposed is sl4 pe- tor.
