Some of the thriftiest olive trees In the valley have not been irri- gated for several vars past They have had only the ordinary raiR-falls ts nourish them.
 only a few orange trees have been cultivated here, but these have demon strated that this Is an ideal locality for orange culture. The fruit is very sweet and juicy and has thin rind- They are as good as can be grown anywhere.
 The absence of all fegs and nightly dews Is a formidable obstacle to the existence of the destructive and un- slightly scale-bug, and the fruits or 'he valley are all bright and clean.
 The season is somewhat in advance of that of southern California. which gives fruit growers an appreciated ad- vantage in the early markets.
 But the agricultural and horticultural possibilities of this valley can not be judged by the present meager deyei- opments. By a proper utilization of our water resources and a complete storage system the VaiTey could be made to support. in luxury. popula- tion of forty thousand people. This is no Utopian dream, but a practical pos sibility. demonstrated by the figures and deductions set forth in the reports of the government engineers on the San Carlos reservoir proposition.

Casa Grande Valley
 Products.

It has been practically demon- strated that all the agricultural prod ucts of the temperate zone can be cas- nv grown on this land, and the long seasons give a succession of crops that double and even treble the productive yalue of the land. On the lands now cultivated the average yield of wheat is about fifteen hundred pounds and barley eighteen hundred pounds per acre. This grain finds a ready market ar from SIPS to $i.5O per hundred pounds. This season barley sold as high as sl.75 per one hundred pounds, owing to a largely increased local de- mand for it. caused by the employment of largely increased number of teams in hauling machinery and supplies to the new mining camps.
 But the most valuable agricultural product here Is alfalfa. Alfalfa is the most productive and profitable forage plant in the valley. and produces, un- der different conditions. from one to three tons Of hay Der acre al each eut- ting. and from three tO five cuttings per year. After a field of alfalfa Is once well established the cost of hay in the stack will be about S2.50 per acre. In exceptional Instances as high as four tons of alfalfa hay per acre have been cut. and five or six cuttings made in a single season, but this Is more than double the average.
 The grape is especially adapted to this soil and climate, where it reaches almost perfection in quality and abun- dance in quantity. Unusual sacchar- inc qualities are developed. which espe- efally adapt them to table use and raisin making. Nearly every variety of grape so far tested grows luxuri- antly in this valley, and it is evident that raisin culture is destined to be- come a prominent industry here when the enlarged and perfected irrigation system shall have been completed. TWO crops of grapes grow in a single sea- son when the vines are properly irri- gated.
 The fig thrives remarkably well here. bears heavily and stards neglect From two to three crops are gathered each season. The trees bear the sec ond year from cuttings.
 The apricot, peach. nec,arine, plui:i. prune. pear. apple. quince. date, pOme granate, cherry and all the small fruits thrive exceptionally well In the soil and climate of this valley.
 Almonds, English walnuts and pe- cans grow well and yield largely in the Casa Grande valley. Two large almond orchards near Florence have been in bearing fer several years and produce

Florence. Ark, Oct. l. 1906. MT. J. Ernest Walker.
 Phoenix. Arizona.
 Dear Sir: I want to tell you some thing about what my raneh-four and a half miles east of Florence. in Casa Grande valley-raised the past two years. I have owned this ranch of ninety-three aares since 1871. and have lived on it ever since that time. In 1905 I cut 1I2 tons of alfalfa and grain hay from forty-hve acres in che cut ting. and from thirty-five acres-cut 4sO sacks of barley. I had fOrty-five acres in alfalfa and grain hay this year. 1906. and at one cutting cut ninetytWo tons. My ranch is always productive and profitable. What can be done on my ranch can be duplicated anywhere under the canal. in Casa Grande val ley. I wish you every success in your effort to show the people what fine ranch and fruit country we have in this valley.

II LATEST NEWS FROM THE TIMING CAMPS OF
II FERGUS COUNTY AND ELSEWHERE. =

This should be great year for the
mining industry of the west, and for
many reasons.
Never before, in the history OF the
industry. has there been such success
full activity in mining circles as that
which now characterizes operation IN
almost every section of this inter
mountain region. Never before have
such sensational discoveries been re
corded; never has the production OF
all classes of ore been so great, never
before has such immense capital been
invested in mining enterprises, and
never before has so much money been
made in mining operations. And, new
er before has the mining industry been
SO popular, attracting the attention OF
all classes of men, and inviting in
vestment from the millionaire as well
as from the man with few dollars
at his command.
The most attractive feature of the
industry, today, however, is the steady
advance that is being chronicled in the
metal quotations. The upward ten
dency of the market is not confined
to any one of the leading commodities.
Gold, of course. is staple, but the rap
id rise in the quotations on silver,
lead ana copper, has been a surprise
to the keeneSt as well as to the most
Optomistic operator.
1t is somewhat difficult to say, I'M
der present conditions, just which
branch of the mining industry Is the
most popular There is big money in
copper at twenty cents pound and
the quotation on this metal is steadily
advancing. Lead is strong at present
prices, and the demand is much great
er than the supply. The indications
are that this metal will so still high
er, and this will bring into activity
old producers which have been idle
for years because of low prices and an
oversupply. Silver, too, is on the up
grade. and at seventy cents holds out
a strong inducement for renewed &C
tivity in silver mining. 1t is believed
that silver will go much higher. Some
place the climax at near the dollar
mark. This may appear improbable tc
many; but time will tell the story
and the fact that the government is
now in the market for the white met
al, buying on the open market three
times a week, will have tendenc,
to move prices much higher than pres
