That there would be city of commercial importance here on the noble Colorado was long ago foretOld by the Sentinel, and yet many people ridiculed the statement when 1t was made.

The time is here, when, by the wise ones, the situation is easily seen, therefore Yuma real estate is as good as gold. Among the sales of re- cent date are as follows:
 R. s. Patterson to R. P. H. Laney and II. C. Vail, 640 acres; to Herbert Brown 80 acres; to D. C. Van Ness, 60 acres, and to C. H. Cliff 90 acres. The average price per acre was Si5.
