For the next eleven miles the journey was made by calTiage. The oil infection increased nuomentarily finally became a fever and at the end of the journey the figurdtive Odor had given place to realism that the most enthusiastic oil men are seldom per- mitted to enjoy. Here and there in the rivulet that runs down from the hills. are little pools of oil. In hundreds of places the pure Oit was trickling from crevices in the hillside, in one place a perfect artesian flow of oil was bubbling over the top of an old casing and running down the hiliside, while here. there. and almost everywhere, were great banks of asphalt that have been accommodating for centuries per haps.

The similarity would be more striking if the Phoenix, or Comeback mountain range ran straight west from its present ending. to the White Tank mountains. The oil wells about to be described, if relatively locNted in this valley, would be found a little west and a little north of Glendale and about three miles into the mountains. Actually, the oil wells are eleven miles from Santa Paula, eight mics of which is over as fine a highway as the Tenn pc road and on either side almost ev- cry acre is devoted to orchards or gar- dens, well kept and absolutely free from weeds. depending partly on rainfall but more on surface and subirrigation. It is recalled that one lemon orchard alone contained 300 acres and returns a colossal annual revenue.

A representative of The Republican recently enjoyed a delightful trip by rail and carriage through the famous Santa Clara valley of California, from its upper end to a point some distance below Santa Paula. The visit was most impressive by reason of the sim ilarity of that valley to the Salt River valley in point of climate, products typographical fes lures and the fact that in some measure there is depend ence upon irrigation for the best re- suits in agriculture and fruit-raising. The climate is more moist owing to the frequent fogs that drift up the val ley from Ventura bay, sixteen miles distant and by reason of these fogs some things may be grown that would not flourish here. For instance, the upper valley is very largely devoted 10 the raising of beans which need con- siderable moisture though but little actual water. Further down the val ley the farms are more devoted to fruit raising and a large portion of it is al most entirely given over to the cul- ture of oranges, lemons, English wal nuts anu JULIET OI ull>.
 It is truly a happy and prosperous valley for the people who own the land which is now held at from $500 to three times that much per acre and the greatest impression made on an Arizona visitor is that it is a working model of what this valley will some day be in respect of land values and fruit culture. But it is no place for . poor man to go now. as tilling the soil is about the only resource and values are too high for poor man to secure a start. Almost everybody who lives there is wealthy or well to do but all went there when the land was as cheap as it now is in the vicinity of Phoe- nix. The Salt River valley is certain to have a similar future in point of agriculture and horticulture, and a much better one for other reasons that will not be enumerated here further than to say that the mining and stock interests of the surrounding hills will always make this a poor mans land a central point for honest laborers who seek employment of various kinds
 This recital is not designed to be an agricultural story and the facts stated above are merely incidental. so appar- ent, mention of them could not be neg lected. The scribe was following the scent of one of the most remarkable oil wells and asphalt deposits in the world and proposes to tell the readers Of The Republican about it, knowing it will interest as a little company of Phoenix men have got this valuable property grabbed by a lease which has been bought and paid for.
