In fact, in s residence of twenty 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

PRICES OF LAND.

Improved lands, with government title and water right, can be bought for from S20 to $50 per acre, according to location and im- proyements. 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 the choicest in the valley. Water in inexhaustI- ble quantity is found at a depth of from twenty to thirty feet in fact. a 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 San Carlos 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

Unlike the Salt river. the waters of the Gila are fresh and pure; the soil contains no alkalt is deep, rich gray ash. especial ly adapted to the growth ofthe 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 ex- tent; there are number of orange trees in the neighborhood of Florence which bear their golden fruit each year without pro- tection, and few date palm trees are also In full bearing. The season is from six weeks to two months earlier than Southern California. which gives fruit growers an appreciated advantage in

THE CASA eRAsDn VALLEY CANAL

is forty-three miles in length and covers 60.000 acres of land, about 1000 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and its capacity in creased. A reservoir covering 1900 acres, having storage capacity of eight billion gall Ions. in the southeast corner of township 6. range 3, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below it. but those above suffer by a shortage of water during few weeks in summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con- struction of a huge reservoir near San Carlos, which would store 28l. .s28 acre-feet of water, capable of irrigating 14o,sss acres of land. All of this land would be in the vicinity of Florence. The estimated cost of the dam is Sl ,Oss, ,926. This survey was made by order of Congress, for which S20009 was appropriated. Mir. J. D. Schuyler, of Los Angeles the noted irrigation engineer, fullJ verihes Mr. Lippineott's report, and strong ly urges upon Congress the duty of con- structing the work. A dam 200 feet in height, which MT. Schuyler considers per- fectly feasible, would store 550,000 acre-feet of water and the reservoir would have a life or IslAty-Ihfee years without ufeuglng. The report says: "In the event of the construc- tion of this dam there will be built up in the valley of the Gila river where desert now exists, community of fully i0,00O souls and the creation of many million dollars of tax able wealth without permanent outlay on the part of the Government" bill is now before Congress for the construction of the work and there is little doubt of it's passage when it's merits become known.

UNTOUCHED BY FROST.

Orange and lemon trees require slight protection 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 nndisputed 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 Grande valley is some thing better than health resort.
 That portion of the great Casa Grande valley lying along the line of the Southern Pacific railway in the vicinity of Casa Grande and Arizola is at present, and with good reason, 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 ten 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 0 suffi- cient water to irrigate this vast body of i land.

Death of a Timer.

Byron Jenks, @ miner who formerly worked at the King of Arizona mine, died at Mrs. Riley's rooming house last Sunday morning, of pneumonia. lie had been confined to his bed about five days. Being without means, a gener- ous sum was contributed by the buSi- ness men of Yuma and the body was given decent interment and funeral of which his closest relatives, where ever they may be, need not feel ashamed. It is said the deceased was a union miner and had but recently con- tributed to the hospital fund at the King, and yet when a telegram was sent there notifying the camp Of his death, the reply came back, in sub stance, that the boys refused to con tribute any funds for burial and sug gested that their fellow workman be buried at the expense of the county which, on the face of it, does not ap pear very creditable to the boys at tho King.
