Yuma County Mines.

D. D. Lawrence and Dr. c. H. Bailey returned last Monday from tour of the mining districts of Yuma county, and report an agreeable trip. They were gone about three weeks and visit ed every mining camp Of any impor- tance in the county. Mir. Lawrence, who is mining expert and writer of some note, was out to gather mining information and data for the coming industrial edition of Our neighbor, the Sun, and Dr. Bailey made the trip to do the photOg work for the same enterprise and also to gather mineral specimens for his World $ Fair ca abinet. Mr. Lawrence, who has been over some of the ground before, was surprised to find the immense development of the mining industry which has taken place within omparatively short time. He says that Yuma county not only has someof the best mines =ia theseoulItI,y bat that there are others which will soon become producers of enormous value. The S0corr0 mine, near Ear risburg, will, Mr. Lawrenee believes. equal if not eclipse the famous King of Arizona. The company will soon have the Socorro in full operation, The plantvand buildings, the underground timbering, and everything about this mine, are of the most substantial char acter-as good as any mine in Arizona. The company has just installed first class electric lighting plant and will have the mine operations in full blast within 60 days.
 While in the up river country Dr. Bailey says they learned that Billy Mack had sold his mine above Parker known as The Ruby to San Francisco parties for $60,0O0.
 In the Quartzsite district mining activity is very great and some splen- did properties are in an advanced stage of development.
 Yuma county's mining prospects gre as promising as those of any known mineral section. Such is the opinion of everyone who takes the trouble to investigate.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP Cured by One Bottle of Chamber
 Fain's Cough Remedy.

"When 1 had an attack of the grip last winter (the second onel 1 actually cured myself with one bottle of Cham berlains Cough Remedy" says Frank ". Perry, editor of the Enterprise, Shortsville, \. '. This is the hon. est truth. l at times kept from cough ing myself 20 pieces by taking a tea spoonful of this remedy, and when the caUghing spell would come on at night I would take dose and it seemed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass off and 1 would go tosleep perfect ly free from cough and its accompany ing pains. To say that. the remedy acted as a most agreeable surprise is putting it very mildly. 1 had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because I had never tried it for such purpose, but it did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and l had not used the contents of one bottle before Mr. Grip had bid me @dieu.

IL is therefore deserv- ing of trial. Be sure to get the gen uine with our private stamp over the neck of the bottle. It will cure you.

Ends a Year.

It is now two years since the first copy of the Press was printed. Then there were three houses in Imperial, but there was not a drop of water here but that which had been hauled by wagon a dozen miles. There was not a cultivated farm within fifty miles of town. A year passed by and there were irrigation ditches, hundred peo- pie in the town and 6, 300 acres of farm crops growing in the valley. Another year has now passed, and there are 800 people in the town, probably 5000 in the valley, and carefully compiled sta tistics show 8 crop acreage of ?, 800. During the two years it has been the privilege O, the Press to chronicle the steps of progress, and during the year to come there will be much work in the same line to report.-lmporiaI Press.
 The Imperial Press is one Of the most interesting papers that comes to this office. l. is now owned and edited by the talented writer, Edgar F. Howe, and its pages show the spendid effect of his work.

Beware of OintmentS for Catarrh
 That Contain Mercury

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on pre- scriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten-fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, man. ufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Tole- do, Ohio, contains no mercury, and is ta- ken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Halls Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is ta- ken internally and made in Toledo, O., by r. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials free.

The California King Gold mines at Picacho have been again heard from, but this time instead of a shooting scrapa to chronicle the announcement is made of the arrival uf two big bars Of gold bullion at the Bank of Yuma. This is the third shipment of the kind within the past six weeks and speaks well, net only for thc property itself. but also for the able management of Supt. Humphreys. Everything about the mine and mill is moving quietly and satisfactorily along. The trouble with the Mexican employees, which re- suited in the killing of Burke, has en- tirely subsided and no further trouble is participated.

One of the government engineers. who arrived here Friday from upriver, reports the finding, by the surveying corps, of the dead body of man some distance above Ehrenbefg, two miles from the Colorado river on the 3rd of March. The body was later identified as that of Charles Sorenson. better known. as Dutch Charley" The at tention of the surveyors vas directed tothe body By the man6uvers of the dead mans dog, which remained on guard near his lifeless master and re- fused to permit the approach of any one. It was necessary to lasso the ami nal and take him away before the men could get close enough to make an in vestigation. A little money was found on the body and the surveyors recog- nized him as @ man who had q day or two previous drifted into their camp. He complained of being sick, but soon went on, thinking lie was able to make it to Ehrenberg. Evidently he became seriously ill on the road, and being un- able to proceed further, lay down to die, with only his faithful dog as 3 friend, companion and mourner.

Farming Profitable in Yuma Valley.

Judge Thacker has magnificent field of barley in which alfalfa was sown and is growing with it. Both the barley and alfalfa stand hearly as high as mans head and ought to make upwards of four tons of feed to the acre that will be both hay and grain. If you have any doubts about farming in this country do a little figuring.
 There are 20 acres in the field and the cost will approximate as follows:

Total product of 20 acres one season, 200 tons; gross value, $2,l60; net at farm, $l, ,403.
 This from one-third, and probably the least remunerative third, of the land the judge has under cultivation, large part of the balance being in orchard, grapevines, berries, poultry yards, etc. Suppose the other 10 acres yields but $2, ,0O0, and that it costs S400 to market the hay it will cost no more than Sl00 when we get our good roads); leaving $3,000 as the net proceeds for 60 acres for one year. That is 10 per cent interest on $30, ,O00 Land is said to be worth what it will pay interest on, which in this case is $500 per acre. And yet land just as good as Judge Thacker's is being offered at from $50 to $100. There is chance for workers with some money to make specula- tiou. I would emphasize workers" :" because the land is absolutely unpro- ductive unless it is worked. Unculti- vated ground returns to desert cCndi- tions in remarkably short time. mak- ing this a poor country for one to hold land for purely speculative purposes.
 did not. consult Judge Thaeker in the above figures, and if I have under estimated the productiveness of his little farm hereby ask his pardon.
