Kofa. May ?, 1901.
 Mr. E. Inglis. the mill foreman; bad the misfortune to lose his dwelling by fire on Sunday last. The fire caught from the kitchen stove. but just how Is not known. Almost the entire contents were destroyed. MT. B. l.. Meeden acted as chief of the fire department, and by his knowledge of fighting fire, and assisted by assistant chief engineer Geo. H. Redwood. the entire lot on which the house stood was saved. They were accorded tremendous applause by the thousands of spectators who were watching the fire at distance, held back by the police. "Old Mesquite e' tried to put out about gallon Of coal oil with bucket of water, and when we got them separated "Mesquite" was minus his eyebrows and mustache. Mr. Inglis, who is an energetic and enter prising young man. immediately placed a gang of carpenters at work, and by evening had another house erected.
 One of the most successful dances Of the winter series was given on Satur- day evening in honor of Mrs. Df. A. l. Fraser. wife of the King company sur geon. and Mrs. C.F Hargitt, her friend, who have been spending a couple cf weeks in camp. The evening being cool and music above reproach, long numbers and short intervals was the rule. Dancing was kept up until 1t was necessary to follow the legislative Drec- edent and stop the clock in order not to dance on Sunday. At the conclusion of the dancing Mr. NJ. J. Nugent served choice supper. Taken in it's entirety it was the swellest social event of the season.
 On Sunday evening Supt. Gilbert gave a dinner in honor of Mrs. Fraser and Mrs. Hargitt, and no toast was drunk more enthusiastically than the one to their early return and longer stay.
 The weather here is very cool and pleasant.

unpatented land in that locality. Yuma parties have directed their attention to the Laguna section, thirteen miles up the Colorado river from this point, nearwhere, it is claimed, the indications are as fattering as have yet been found in the county. This dis trict appropriately includes the foothills extending around to Gila City, twelve miles away. Most of the foothill territory has been upper location for more than a year, bat the hilly coun- try back thereof is thought to afford an equally promising field for the developer.
 "From far up the Colorado river, too, have come specimens of oil sand and shale which can not be told from the genuine arti- cle, and it will not be surprising if a rush soon sets in toward that section. Though not on or Of easy access to a railroad, as are the fields to which the excite ment has thus far been confined, this new district has the almost equal advantage of being located on a navigable river"
 Early operations are promised, no less than two companies are now being organized in Tucson, and a local company expects soon to begin active work. An other rumor for which credence is claimed, is that an eastern company possessed of the fever and a large tract of land between Texas Hill and Mohawk arc moving in the matter of deter mined test, confident of the sue cessful outcome thereof.
 The promise that Yuma county
 will develop oil fields of impor
 tance appears to be growing brighter rapidly.

There are thousands of acres of bottom land lying along the Colorado river below Yuma that .re not HOW utilized and could at small expense be made very pro- f.table by planting of rice. Dl- lectly after the Gila river over flow the lands could be seeded to lice and the crop harvested be fore the rise in the Colorado, Immediately following which a second crop could be made and the bottoms would yet retain sufficient moisture to grow a heavy crop of barley and wheat hay Here is an opportunity and grand one for practical farmers, 10 make three good crops in one season at tritling cost and heavy returns.

Fraudulent mining enterprises ought to receive no encourage ment from localnewspapers. but when local paper points out the fraud every man with mine for sale raises a great howl about blackmailand blackliSting. The fact is there are several questionable mining schemes now being worked in this county by men who have no regard whatever for the welfare of the mining industry of the country, but who are working d few suck CTS in California and in the east eTn states for just what there is in them. Any amount from five dollars up is acceptable to this class of shark, who work on the crcdulity of the people who never saw mine, but who have d few dollars they can invest and from which they expect fabulous returns. The Miner has no fear of this class of individuals, but will certainly expose them and their methods if they continue in the business. There are too many meritorious mining claims in this county to allow frauds O1 this kind to go unnoticed.-MO- have Miner.
 There are said to be some mining enterprises" of the kind describal by the Miner being

A FERTILE DESERT.

From Pasadena Daily News
 In most peoples minds the ''desert" is word conveying the idea of place of terror. They think every bush or blade has a thorn or spear; every beetle or bug a venOmous sting CT: every animal a poisonous fang or ferocious claw. They believe that the sun burns every thing up and that everyone goes there at his peril.
 The truth is that there are deserts and deserts. Some, of course, are so bleak and barren as to be beyond reclaiming. They will never be habitable. The great majority of desert lands in arid America need but the touch of water and the stir ring of the blow to respond to the fruitful demands of the farmer. 'sThe Great American Deserts" of the old geographies are being lost in the fruitful or chards and green fields as man pushes forwardiu his determined work. Of course there will all ways be waste places, but the deserts are growing smaller, while the oases are spreading over the parched plains and homes are springing up where sunshine and solitary silence brooded. The turning of the waters from the snowy mountain crests from their courses to the arid plains has developed unex- pected wealth and plenty, where once was marked the word desert"
 The traveller in the Pullman ear may pass through the eoun. try on both sides of Yuma and forever have a mistaken idea O1 that arid region. The stories o1 heat in connection with that place have given a wrong i'm pression. It is a hot, but health ful place. I needed an Overcoat mornings while there last week
 I met many people who wen
 there for their health, and having
 recovered their health, foundtht
 country full of resources. Se
 they are staying and building III
 the country. Yuma is a towl with over 2,O00 population. It! people are above the average class in intelligence and thrift
 This is sure to be a town of i'm
 portance.

The Indians this year will reap

The Indians this year will reap 8 heavy harvest of wheat, corn and pumpkins from the moist llnds adjacent to the bottoms which are overfowed. The children of the forest" have learned that they can get three crops in one year by moving to lhe different parts of alluvial lands at the proper time. A number of the 1umas have i,rapevines and pomgranate I,lanted near the river, but above overflow, and they are doing l.icely aud will be ill full bearing next season.

Following is an extract taken from a write-up of the editorial excursion to Yuma which ap- peared in the Covina Argus; Yuma is a town that has been much maligned. While no one will deny that the temperature during July, August and Sep tember is not all that could be desired for comfort, the balance of the year is an ideal climate. y
