PRODUCTS OF THE VALLEY.

Unlike the Salt river, the waters of the .slla are fresh and pure; the soil contains no Alkali, is deep, rich gray esh, especially adapted to the growth of the prune. olive, almond, peach, fig, pear, apricot and fruits of all kinds, which pay largely on the invest ment. 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 earl1er than Southern Califor- mia, which gives fruit growers an appreciat- ed advantage in

THE CASA eRANDE VALLEY CANAL

6O,000 acres of land, about 1000 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and it's capacity in- creased. reservoir covering 1,600 acres, having storage capacity of eight billion gal Ions, in the southeast corner of township 6, range g, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below it, but those above suffer by shortage of water during q few weeks in summer.
 1t is proposed to remedy this by the con- struction of huge reservoir at the Buttcs, fifteen miles northeast of Florence. Com potent engineers have examined and reported upon the scheme and pronounce it feasible.

 In fact, in a residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat, and they recovered. Their condition, however, was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that a registered sive as 30 degrees in St. Louis or New York. Tho Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact, and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be fulls 90 degrees. At nearly all times there Is 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,
 UNTOUCHED BY FROST.
 Orange and lemon trees require slight pro- tection during the winter for year or two, until the wood is sufficiently hardened.
 While it is popular thing for one to say that he is mot here for his health, it is an undisputed fact that for all pulmonary ail- ments no climate on earth is equal to South ern Arizona, and there are numbers of active, industrious citizens, with but one lung, who came here years ago, expecting to live but $ few weeks. But for all that, the wonderful Casa Crande valley is something better than a health resort.

Great changes have been made in the appearance of this part of the'valley during the last four years. It was about that long ago 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- eient water to irrigate this vast body of land

The absence of fogs and nightly dews is a formidable obstacle to the destructive and unsightly seale-bug, and the fruits of the valley are all bright and clean. All the agrl- cultural products of temperate and semi tropic zones are easily grown here, the long seasons giving a succession of crops that double or treble the productive value of the land.

CASA CYANIDE nEsERvOIB.

The reservoir of the Casa Grande Valley Canal company is the largest in the territory. It covers surface of 1860 acres, with an aver thousand million gallons of water. It is sit- uated fifteen miles southwest of Florence. 4 levee of earth has been thrown up across a depression in the plain 14,0J0 feet in length, i25 feet in width at the bottom and 25 feet in width at top, to 1 slope on each side, and an average height of g feet. The waste is regu- lated by cast iron pipes 3 feet in diameter, set in solid masonry, regulated by gates and tower This reservoir cost SI500 000, and sup nIies water for 5000 acres.

PRICES OF LAND.

Improved lands, with government title and $50 per acre. according to location and im- provemeuts In the Immediate neighbor hood and to the south of the Casa Grande ruins there are thousands Of acres covered with heavy growth of mesquite timber yet open to settlement. These are among tine choicest in the valley. Water in inexhansti- hle quantity is found at depth of from twenty to thirty feet; in fact, river seems to be flowing underneath Here is 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 @ 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

AN US1sHABrrABIE DESERT

Is in truth the most productive land on the globe and that there is water in abundance to bring every foot of it under cultivation, only whiting for the magic wand of capital to develop it. There is no water-storage scheme on the Pacific coast that has one-half the natural advantages and so few engineer ing difficulties as the Butte reservoir. Here nature has built the abutments in ever-liy ing rock, and all that is left for man to do is to put in the headgate, the bluffs which form the gorge being only separated by paltry 220 feet. 4 country is drained through this narrow canyon POO miles square, representing 40,000 square miles. or larger than Maine and Massachusetts combined. The rainfall is suf- ficient to fill the reservoir twice year, and the land to be brought under cultivation is practically limitless. This may read like fairy tale, but it is every word true, and has been verified time and again.
