Yuma Valley Soil

The surface soils in Yuma val.
ley vary in texture from a near
ly pure sand to very fine loam
or adobe. The whole valley is
underlaid at varying depths by
sand, which affords excellent
drainage for the surface soils.
No hardpan exists to prevent
the free movement of the soil
moistures. The whole valley is
of sedimentary origin, being an
accumulation of deposits by the
Gila and Colorado rivers during
periods of overflow. In this re-
spect it's origin is similar to the
famous valley Of the Nile, which
has been cropped for centuries
without depicting its soil fertil-
ity. The mesa, a broad, coastal
plateau, seventy.fve feet above
the level of the valley, is COM
posed almost entirely of one
type of soil, Or rather coarse

Suit for the Big Eye

Gus Livingston and Walter
Riley have filed a suit against
the Big Eye Mining Company
claiming a two-thirds interest in
that now famous mine.
The basis of this suit is that
the complainants claim that they
had Adams, the original locator,
employed under a ''grub-stake"
contract. Adams and associ-
ates claim that this property
was located after Livingston and
Riley had forfeited their con-
tract by refusal to furnish sup
plies.
1t is to be hoped that this will
not be a long-draWn-out suit, but
that the courts may soon de-
eide the ownership, SO that de-
velopment work may continue.
1t is generally conceded that the
Big Eye will develop into one Of
the greatest gold producers in
the West.

sand, containing at intervals a
small amount of lime. Seventy
per cent of the soil in Yuma val
ley is free from alkali; twenty
per cent contains some alkali,
but not in injurious quantities;
about ten per cent is sufficiently
alkaline to prevent the normal
growth of the staple crops. Most
of the alkali, however, is purely
a surface accumulation, often be-
ing confined to the surface one
or two feet of soil. With an open
subsoil, such accumulations are
readily leached out by heavy

member board of directors.
Each county has one member
on the board of directors.
The principal object OF this
gathering was to organize in
such manner as to secure the
transcoptinental road from the
East to the Pacific Coast. Every
effort is to be made to secure
this roadway through Arizona,
touching at either Globe or Pres

and Yuma. A committee will
be in this city within the next
ten days for investigating and
formulating a definite report for
the crossing of the Colorado at
this point.
This delegation is to work for
the highway across the Terri
tory, while county organizations
are to be effected for the build
