 Communications were received from ". H. Elliott, county sur veyor of Yuma county, telegram bof P. w. Latimer, report of G. B. P. Smith, surveyor; letter of c. V. Meeden, county assessor; and report of w. H. Elliott to c. 1 V. Meeden, were ordered filed and spread upon the minutes, to- wit;
 Yuma, Ariz., Aug. 1, 1908. The Hon. Board of Supervisors,
 Yuma County, Arizona. Gentlemen:
 In the matter of the boundary line between Maricopa and Yav- apai and Yuma counties, I have to report that the complete line has not yet been run.
 In April I run a check line from point on S., P. R. R. estab- lished by Prof. G. E. P. Smith of the U. of A., north to what is called the Big Harqua Halas; I crossed the first Std. N. Is chs. B. of the point where the calcu- lated distance W. from the G. & $. R. M. makes the 113 degs. 20 min Mer.
 Seeing so much difference, I waited to confer with the other surveyors. Not hearing from MT. Latimer, 1 proceeded on the 23rd day of May to run the line south from the first Std. N, starting at the calculated point, as the location of the G. & s. R. M. has recently been checked by the U. $. R. S.; from this point 1 run south to the Eagle Tail mountains, which 1 crossed. was to meet the team on the south side of the mountains, but we failed to make connections, as we (Mr. Wagner and myself) were out of water and did not know where the tanks were To- cated. The only thing for us to do was to walk in to Agua Cal. iente. As soon as 1 heard from the team l returned to Yuma, as it was to hot to survey the line and on account of the lack of water, which would make it very expensive for team hire; also was to have a report to lay be- fore the territorial board of equalization by the first of June. The surveyors of Yavapai and | Mohave counties are in favor of 1 using the meridian as blished l on Mt. Floyd, which differs from that as calculated on the first std. N. by about 400 feet. I be- lieve that is as close as we can get it unless we take observa- tions extending several weeks.
 AS soon as the weather mod crates 1 expect to start in and complete the survey.

 Yuma, Ariz., Aug. 4, 1908. To the Hon. Board of Supervis-

 Being authorized by your hon. orable body to appear in person before the board of equalization of the territory, in Phoenix, I beg to report to you as follows: After showing proper data in regard to valuation of property belonging to the $. P. R. R. Co. in Yuma county, and after due consideration the territorial board of equalization found that my statement was fair and just and that Yuma county is entitled to all raises as requested by me as assessor of Yuma county.
 1 obtained all I went after, and tender herewith my thanks to the board of supervisors for their official assistance in accom- plishing what was done for Yuma county.
 Relating to the boundary line of Yuma county, l will state that 1 received a telegram from ". H. Elliott while in Phoenix re- questing me to wait until I would receive report and data of sur vey made by him, a copy of said report you herewith find attach ed. Of course, in my opinion, said report did not amount to much, and I expected NOTHING: therefore I was not surprised when l appeared before the board and got all I expected to get, to-wit: NOTHING.
 The action of the territorial board of equalization, according to their minutes, shows as fol- lows: 70. V. Meeden presented a letter of W. H. Elliott, county surveyor of Yuma county, in ref erence to the number of miles of main track of the $, P. R. R. Co. in Yuma county, which was ordered fled"

RICHES OF SOIL WONDERFUL

But the object of this story is to call atten- tiOn once more, and for perhaps the thou sandth time, to the riches of the soil along the Colorado on both sides, incident to the depositidg of this mass of debris during all the past ages. Going through the country on the Arizona side Of the river, for several miles below Yuma, one encou1ters the same type of country and soil that is found in the Imperial Valley country around Brawley, Calexico and other points west of the river The fertility of the black prairie soils of Hi nois has astonished people engaged in agri- culture for nearly one hundred years. The fertility Of the valleys Of the Nile has been a matter of history for at least COCO years. Those who are famlinr with Illinois prairie soil, and those who know what the valley of the Nile is for agriculture. know that this lower Colorado River region surpasses both of them.
 If you ask a farmer along this stretch of country if the soil is six feet, his eyes will open with astOnishnent ai your ignorance. He will tell you no one knows whether it is % feet, GOC or G,0GO feet deep It is practically without bottom. IL is SD thoroughly well mixed with sand, disintegrated granite and other rocks that it never breaks. It is as easily worked as a heap of ashes, and re- spends to cultivation in a way that is mar VcIOuS
