Ger to develop this section as they should. Again the gasoline engine presented insurmom~able obstacles on account of the high price of gaso- ,lne and engine distillate. However. considerable progress was made and numerous small pumping plants are scattered over the valley. These plants have demonstrated the won derful and incXhaustiblc water supply in every portion of it, and hay" proven out the wonderful productive power of the soil. So that from now on all questions relative to success ful farming have been settled. and the persons who arrive today can begin operations with full assurance of success.
 Twenty years ago or more q few
 business men or WilicoX among whom was Judge W. F, Nichols, later
 secretary of the territory, conceived
 the idea of starting an experimental
 farm. They secured a section of land three miles from Willcox dug well. installed a 50-h. D. gasoline en-
 zine and No. 10 centrifugal pump. The well delivered 5000 gallons per minute without lowering but few feet while pumping. The remarkable supply of water was full demon
 
 tilurc from a practical standpoint
 The price of gasoline was fifty cents ., gallon and the cost of pumping
 prohibitivc. Again Q superintendent and several foremen were employed
 to conduct the farm while laborers
 were negligible quantity.
 The writer lived in the valley in the carly days. then went to the northwest He knew of the great water supply and realized that when the time came that this water could be cheapIy and economically lifted to tEe surface, that the valley would
 become an empire in itself. This time mas now arrived, and numerous pumping plants throughout the val Icy. using the cheap fuel oils. which retail at Wilcox for six cents q gallon, has made pumping the cheap est irrigation known.
 The same prejudice, which always fights and opposes new innovation. IS at work against pumping for irri- 1 Eation. but the experiment has been 50 successfully carried out in many sections of the United States: to bo more specific, in California, Washing l ton, Kansas.

 WILCOX, Dec. 20.-For thirty years. since the advent of the South crn Pacific railroad, Wilcox has been the principal trading and shipping point in Sulphur Springs valley Thousands of head of cattle grazcd oFer this vast region and the sur rounding mountains, which shed their great volumes of storm waters into the valley below, ultimately to find their way into the dry lake in the southern part of the valley, and pro- dHcing in their wake the luxuriant grasses for which the whole section IS noted It was the mecca of the cattlemen and conceded to be the finest breeding ground for cattle in the United States. But in the inevit-

water. and four miles further north hc reaches Wilcox. On leaving Will cox. the railroad almost immediately swings to the east. ascends into an opening in the mountains and leaves the valley for Bowie. He is led to the inevitable conclusion that the valley is worthless. Should he stop at Wilcox and begin to explore the surrounding country his opinion will change to amazement at the immen- sity Of the valley, the great area of fertile land to the north east and vest of Wilcox, and the dry lake.
 There are three distinct classes of land in th3 valley, the land in the shallow water belt from the lake to Wilcox and covered with salt grass, has been avoided by the settler. The depth to water in this class of land ranges from six to twelve feet. How eVer it has been found to produce OK Cellent sugar bcets and garden VeGe- tables, and also alfalfa. The time is not far ahead when all of this land will be cultivated. although it is not ;t present recommended to the set der. Expel fence has proven that it readily responds to cultivation, and that it's productive power, when pro- perly cultivated is wonderful. and will unquestionably prove out far better than the theorist of today imagines.
 The second class of soil lies be- yond this, and is composed of the mesquite belt This belt covers ar area Of about 15O.OOO acres and is composed of the finest soil found any where in the west The mesquite is , not heavy, and the cost of clearing
 
 quite region runs from fifteen to fifty feet This land it has been demon strated will produce any and every thing planted upon it. with the ex- ception Of tropical fruits.
 The third class of land lies beyond i the mesquite belt. and is composed of a reddish sandy loam covered with lama grass. This land is very prod uctiVe and easily cultivated The l depth to water here ranges from 5O | to 100 feet. It is conservativelv es- i timated that the irrigabIe area of 1 Sulphur Springs valley, underlaid 1 with abundant water from q denth 1 of six to 100 feet is at least 600 OO1 acres. Adding 10 this large areas of ] land near the foothills which can be i reclaimed by construction of small ! reservoirs, will swell the area to 1 100000 acres.
 Wilcox has until recently present
 cd the same appearance as it die thirty years ago. A large volume ot i business has been transacted year h, ' ear. but the resident was the minor
 and the cattleman.

provement and intelligent cultivation Will later yield them fortune
 In the wild scramble for land. in the older sections of the irrigated sections of the west where it Is sell ing from $IOO to $500 per acre, it is gratifying to learn that there is still a section of the country left where the finest kind of land can be had for S10 to $20 per acre, and good re- linquishments for $500 to 5000 for 1GO acres. according to improvements.
 Wilcox has recently organized a board of trade. which is conducting al, aggressive publicity campaign. and those interested can get all desired information from this source.
