PRODUCTS OF rHx VALLEY.

Unlike the Salt river. the waters of the Gila are fresh and pure; the soil contains no all1ali, 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 a prominent industry. Citrus fruits have been cultivated to a limited ex- tent; there are a 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 weelSsto two months earlier than Southern California. which gives fruit growers an appreciated advantage in

sUNsTRoKE IS UNKNOWN.

In fact, in 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 registered temperature of 1l0 degrees is not as oppres- sive as 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact, and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be fully 90 degrees. At nearly all times there is pleasant breeze; the nights are invari- ably 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,

cAsA CYANIDE REsERvoIR.

The reservoir of the Casa Grande Valley Canal company is the largest in the terri tory. It covers a surface of l6O0 acres, with an average depth of 12 feet, and contains about eight thousand million gallons of water. It is situated fifteen miles south west of Florence. A leyee of earth has been thrown up across a depression in the plain 1l.OO0 feet in length, 125 feet in width at the bottom and 9 feet in width at top, to slope on each side, and an average height of 25 feet. The waste is regulated by cast iron pipes feet in diameter, set in solid masonry, regulated by gates and tower. This reservoir cost Sl5O,o0O, and supplies water for GOO acres.

THE CASA oRAsDE VALLEY CANAL

is forty-three miles in length and covers 60,0O0 acres of land, about 7,900 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and it's capacity in- creased. reservoir covering 1900 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 a shortage of water during few weeks in summer.
 1t is proposed to remedy this by the con- struction of huge reservoir near San Carlos, which would store 2sl.s96 acre-feet of water, capable of irrigating 696 acres of land. All of this land would be in the vicinity of Florence. The estimated cost of the dam is Sl .Oss s28. This survey was made by order of Congress. for which s20,O0O was appropriated. Mir. J. D. Schuyler of Los Angeles, the noted irrigation engineer, fully verifies Mir. Lippincott's report. and strong ly urges upon Congress the duty of con- structing the work. A dam 200 feet in height. which Mir. Schuyler considers per- fectly feasible, would store s5o.OOO acre-feet of water and the reservoir would have a life of sixty-three years without dredging. The report says: Tn 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 400OO souls and the creation of many million dollars of tax able wealth without permanent outlay on the part of the Government" A bill is now before Congress for the construction of the wnrk and there Is little douht of i4S naSeaao when its merits become known.

Orange and lemon trees require slight protection during the winter for year or two, until the wood is sufficiently hardened,
 While 1t 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 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 Grnnde 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 a suffi- cient water to irrigate this vast body of 1 land.
