A white nan first set foot on what IS now Yuma County in l77l. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter ritory. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in a few years ex- sect to see Ylma Courty rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Call fornia catches of Arizona is that of tho picturesque town of Yuma, which Is snu9N situated in the embrace of gentle roiin! hills. upon whose crests and sides 1h' modern homes of our superior civilization are erowding the adobe dwellings ln1o eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway Arizona. the new empire of the West, upon whose undeveloped riches the eyes ot the country are at present turned, and as sueh' it is bound to grow and prosper with a rapidity that at present can hardly De re- alized. But coupled with her geograpF' cal position ve ind that she is the center of a country whose agricultural posSlo'il- ties are practically unlimited, 6elng sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting oaiv water to become paradise ot bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters Of the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

VALLEYS OF THE COLORADO AND
 GILA,

In the valleys of the Coi, rado and the Gila rivers there is roem foi thousands. It is not too much to say that nowhere within the limits of this broad Onion can be found more desirable region for the making of a home. No laborious clearing Of the land is rec aired; it lies almost ready for the blow Trees and shrubbtry have so rapid growth that within eighteeu months the immig ant can surround his abode with attract:L IS which woulc require years to mature in less favored climates. Fruits ripen and are ready for market fuli month before the California products. The bright sunshine makes life luxury, and the pure dry atmos- phere brings health to all wbo inhale it. For the establishment of colcnies, such as are made in southern California, Arizona pre- sents unrivalcd opportunities Thousands of acres now proftless can be made produc- tive by the construction of irrigating ditches, and there is no investment which assures larger or more permanent returns,
 The statement in this article on Yuma county are not exaggerated; in fact they fall short of doing justice in thls wonderful bit of country. Pineapples, dates, almonds and waluuts will do well. Strawberries, rasp- berries, blackberries, entrants, gocseberries, and all varieties of small fruits can be suc- cessfully cultivated. Indeed, Yuma County is not cnly the natural home of the citrus and semitropical fruits, as almost every fruit, nut. plant, grain, grass, or vegetable which ca: be produced in either tropic of temperate zones will thrive in the rich and fertile soils.
 With the bright prospects ahead of the town of Yuma and Yuma County there can be no better investment for capital seeking large and renunerative returns than is af- forded here. With a matchless climate, where all forms of disease known to the damp and rigorous regions of the east and north are unknown, where the bright sun- shine kisses into bloom and fragrance every form of vegetation, and where the clear days and cool and balmy nights are one long-con- tinued poem of happiness and delight, we can offer to capitalists an ideal field for in vestment ard to home seekers a veritable paradise in which to settle

z-iaot oceans The -aat Colorado ieszr1 vas once an inland sea. cut otf centuries and aerhaps ages aeo from the main ocean, leav- ag f.s waters to evaporate in this intense aeat Throughout all ths country border ng tbe desert, including lhis section, ,jeh aaines are beira constantly discovered, and some Of recent location are already produc- ing immense profits. Tn the neighborhood of Yuma, claims exceedingly rich on the surface are daily being located, and all signs portend great mining boom for this county which will eulminate as early as the coming fall ia an iEroad of much capital Experts are arriving every week and mines are being bonded at more than heavy prices. 1t seems wonderful to believe that all this min eral wealth has been lying at our very doors for so many years without taker, but the tendency of prospectors is to go lo1.g dis tance of into strange lands rather than to seek for mines in county as old as Yuma County and 50 accessible. The greater the distance, the hardship, and the danger, the greater the fascination for the prospector. Distance seems, indeed. to lend enchant- ment to the view.
 So it is that this county is almost virgin field for the mine hunter, and now with the few hundreds searching in its mountains its mineral secrets are still in effect secrets, for thousands upon thousands might be wander ing through the rock-ribbed fastnesses Of our mountain ranges and their presence be almost unknown, so vast is the extent oi country
 Recent rich discoveries of gold deposits, particularly in lodges, have given great impetus to mining throughout the county.
 New locations are being constantly made, and all show well upon the surface The Ia Fortuna mine, recently put in operation, has 2)-stamp mill running night and day, and the production of gold averages $75, COG per month. This mine is situated about 90 miles southwest of the village of Yuma.
 Rich gold discoveries have also been made in Castle Dome, Harqua Hala. Centennial Palomas, Pot Holes, and other miring ais tricts, and, although the mining cr lcok ir the county was never better, still llost ot the silver and lead mines are idle, owing to the low value of these metals.

THE CLIMATE OF YUMA.

The climate of Yuma for nine months Of the year has no equal, as we believe, in the word. and during th remaining three months of the year, comprising June, July and August, the heat is not oppressive Even though the thermometer in mld-sum- her may a times rise above l0o', and oc- casicnally even reach li00, yet, owing to ,be absence cf moisture in the air, it is not oppressive. The atmosphere is pure, light aad balmy. When the mercury marks the highest extreme of heat, person does not rel that oppression or debility which is ..,ss-.i.li.. E.4t,tu- Nl.at* vh'H lhr '"'o.

RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY,

Tn regard to climate, healthlulness' Ter tility and productiveness of soil, facliities for cultivation, irrigation and abundance or water supply, variety Of resources ana ebenp transportation by rail and by water no part of Arizon can surpass 1"ma copntv. which is destined to become one or richest and most prosperous counties Tn Arizona.
 It lies between 320 OO' and 34' 2O' north latitude and ll30 20' and ll4' 40' west 1onQitude. It contains CLASS. .320 acres It isobopt as large as the States ot Rhode Island. Connecticut and Delaware con- b;.ed or as large as either New Hampshire, Vermont or Massachusetts.
 The Oestern boundary of Yuma County Is rorpled by the Colorado river, when separates Arizona from California. The county is bounded on the north by Williams Park and the Santa Maria uver, whose waters flow into the Colorado; on the 'ast by the counties of Pima. Maricopa and Yavspai. and on the south by sonora Mexico. Its county seat Is the town o1 Yuma.
 The Colorado river drains the entire ter ritorv of Arizona, and every drop of water which falls on its mountains and plains finds its way to this mighty river. It IS ,orrned bv the union of the Green and Grand rivers, fed by the streams when rise in the Rocky Mountains, and the melt ing snows cause a greater depth ot water ;n this riv.r m summer than Tn winter. thus prnishjn the most water at the season when it is most required for the purposes of irrigation and agriculture.
 ItwiIl be seen that for the entire distance alenc it's western boundary, Yuma County DOES, sess the great advantage ot cheap water transuortation.
 The Gila river rises Ill the western part of New Mexico and is fed by numerous streams, among the most prominent of which are the San Pedro, Agua Fria, Has s,vampa and Salt rivers. It flows west through Yuma County and empties into the Colorado at the to vn of Yuma.
 Yuma county, traversed by these great rivers from it's northern to its southern, and from its eastern to its western bound aries, possesses a far greater wate- supply than any other county in the territory, and far more than can be found in all Cali ferDia.
 This water is now being diverted from its natural channels by means of numerous large irrigating canals. and utilized for the purpose of retaining and irrigat;ng the immense tracts of lands which lie in this favored country, aud which arc as fertile ss any in the world.
 The Southern Pacific Railroad crosses the Colorado river at the town of Yuma and rms through the county, following the cenerol course, and at an average distance of abeut four miles south, of the Gila river, rendering all the ands susceptible ot irri- cation and cultivation. can dnd an easy ontlet in this way and can be transported f, etl the markets and centers of population in the East or West.
 knother competing railroad is projected from San Diego, California, to tie town of Yuma, and thence along the north side of the Gila river. Thus Yuma County Will oave exceptional railroad advantages.

 The atmosphere Is singularly clear, tonic and dry. 1 have never seen it clearer anyw here in the world. It seems to have about the same bracing and exhilarsting qualities as the air of the Great Sahara in Northern Africa, or of the deserts about Mount Sinai, in Arabia Petraea. It is much drier than In the parts of Morocco. Algiers or Tunis usually visited, and drier than any part of the Valley of the Nile north of the First Cataract. It seems to me about the same in quality as the air on the Nile between Assouan and Wady- Halfa, but somewhat cooler.
 ARIZONA,
 Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social anl industrial de veiopment. There can't be doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she has waited so long is breaking at last. There is every promise of day of great pros perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of a nsw and enel gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people. while the cumulative effect oi many things, which made but small inn pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her full share of atten. tion and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists
 4 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There is scramble for franchises. Nothing nor; surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest arc falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lend IS than this. Arizona has reacheA that climacticel period which every western state has ex perienced sometime in its history when after long and weary struggle and doubt with each side of the balance first up anc then down, t!e clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and sunhurs of energiziug hope has thrilled the droop ing spirits of the people to greater aJIt braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com i pletiOn of two transcontinental lines G railroad across her territory Arizona hal rather dropped out of public attention but in that time she has been quietly ac cumulating a fund of substantial wealtl and a force of moral character whicl qualify her now to rise up and take he1 destiny in her own hands.
