Mormons Defied Apaches.

Mesa, about six miles farther on, is a
settlement of about 100 people in the
center of the valley. The Mormons de-
fed the savage Apaches and located
there about forty years ago. digging an
irrigation system Of their own and grow
ing grain, alfalfa, small fruits and veg
etables for the mining camps. Mesa
looks like a New England village and is
one of the most prosperous and orderly
towns in the state. Mormons are always
prohibitionists. There are no saloons or
poorhouses, or jails in Mormon settle
ments; they are not needed. You never
find Mormon keeping a saloon Or a
gambling house or any other disreputable
resort. For the amusement of the young
people they have musical and literary
societies. dances in the public halls two
or three times a week and other social
diversions which seem to be we'll at
tended and thoroughly enjoyed.
On the outskirts of Mesa is the Evans
School. preparatory institution estab-
lished there about ten years ago by an
Englishman of that name. He has
thirty boys who live in tents and spend
most of their time in the open air. Each
boy has a pony which he takes care of
himself and uses for long excursions
tains. Archie Roosevelt. the son OF
his father and a chip Of the old block,
holds the long-distance record, having
ridden 112 miles in tWenty-four hours
over a mountain trail. His father was
widely advertised a year or two ago for
riding ninety miles in twenty-four hours.
The boys at the Evans School are near
ly all from eastern cities. Most Of them
were in delicate health when they came.
But they are as tough and tanned as In
dian warriors and. judging from their
appearances. fresh air and exercise are
good medicines.
The main street of Mesa runs twenty
two miles in straight line, without a
turn. to the foot Of Superstition noun
tain, a weird and shapeless pile Of rock
rising from the center Of a desert. 1t is
associated with many legends, from
which its name was gained. The Apaches
will never go there. They say it Is
certain death to attempt to climb its
rugged slopes. and in it's canyons and
forests all sorts OF evil spirits and other
enemies of mankind reside. Rising di-
rectly from the level plain. it seems
higher and holder than it actually is,
and it is not strange that the magma
ton of the Indians peopled 1t with
strange beings.

Land Under Cultivation.

Nearly the entire distance between
Mesa and Superstition mountain the Ian /
is now under cultivation. Fields of al
falfa and grain. orange groves and or
| chards of other fruits. the truck gar
dens and dairy farms. extend continu-
ously on both sides of the road. and they
are divided by wide irrigation bitches,
through which torrents OF muddy water
are always flowing. The supply from
the Salt river reservoir will never fail.
The cottages in which the farmers live
are neatly painted, and are surrounde I
by large barns. There is an air Of pros
perity everywhere. but it seems strange
to see wheat fields and sugar beets sur
rounded by fig trees and date palms. The
oranges are particularly fine. The peo-
pie OF Arizona insist that they are the
finest in the world. and they grow with
surprising rapidity I'm the soil and with
the water they find here.
You often hear this part Of Arizona
described as 1.-The land that God forgot"
but there never was a wilder misnomer.

tive but wherever water and plows have
