The public will be surprised to learn that it appears from re- ports to the geological survey that Arizona has the largest un- broken pine forest in the United States, covering an area of 5000 square miles. The total quanti- ty of pine timber suitable for saving purposes within the boundaries of the territory amounts to 10000, O0O,OOO feet, which is enough to supply the needs of a thickly populated state for more than s century. The principal forest area is in Coconino county, and borders the Grand Canyon of the Cobra do, although Gila, Apache and Yavapai counties have consider able timber.

 the death of his father, who, the son writes. died in Yuma between the years 1876 and 1885. His former place of res dence was North Temescal, Alameda
 county. Some fifteen years ago man
 by the name of Solomon left Castle
 Dome mines fer the Gila river but got
 lost and perished on the desert. The
 body was found within five miles of the
 river. AS to the year of this occur renee we are not certain. If any of our readers remember the circumstances and can supply the year, we can per haps find more definite particulars in files of the Sentinel.

The seaport of Yuma has been established. The line of Colo rado steamers are in active ser vice, and business of transport ing freight has been inaugurated. Yuma will be one of the most important seapOrts on the Pacific coast. The Colorado river will be dredged and deepened and much larger steamers than those now in use will be brought into requisition, and perchance a large ship canal, which will also be used for irrigating the lands tributary to i0 will be opened, and then there will be a city of from thirty to fifty thousand people doing business in and about the present site of Yuma city. This is no optimistic view, neither is it a creature of the imagination; it is what is most certainly coming to pass. Re member this in years to come, and say you read it in the Star. Tucson Star.

does, with plans being made by the Southern Pacific for the ex- tension of it's lines into western Mexico, the steamer line will mark an epoch in the history Of the state of Sonora. The South ern Pacific extension and it's branches will give an outlet to- the coast and to the dozens Of smaller ports winch are being established for use of the Yuma and Gulf of California steamers. Perhaps of the more immedi- ate importance will be the facili- ties afforded the mines of SonO. ra. Some of the richest gold and copper properties in existence are located in the Sierra Madre mountains, and only the inacces- sibility of the country has kept them from startling the world. In virtually all instances the burrO and horse route is now the only means of reaching them, making the importation of ma chinery and the exportation of the metal so expensive that no profit could be found. It is the intention of the railroad people to at once commence the build ing of branch lines into these districts and thus establish con- nections with the ports on the gulf.
