YUMA COUNTY. Her Rich Mines The La Fortuna and King of Arizona Great Mineral Wealth Yet Un developed Castle Dome Lead Mines. The County Lies Directly In the flairi Gold Belt that Begins in Alaska and Ends in Mexico. The following article is extracted from Governor Murphy's annual report to the Secretary of the Interior and is an interesting presentation of facts re garding some of the mineral resources OI xumacounLV, uuu a uescrionuji ui two ' of the richest gold mines; also ! something of the Castle Dome lead ; mines: j KING OF ARIZONA. The gold-bearing propcrty.kuown for a time as the Gleason. has been transferred to the King f Arizona Mining and Milling Company, a cor poration organized under the laws of the Terri tory of Arizona, with a capitalization of 5,000,000 scares of a par value of $1 each. This company owns four full ciaims iheEomcstake, the King of Arizona, the Last Hope, and the Mucho Bueno. This district lies about thirty live miles due east of thd Castle Dome Land ing, on the Colorado River. It is north of the Gila River and about -10 miles from Mohawk Summit, on the Southern Pacific Railroad. This is the nearest station on the railway. There are several other locations besides those conveyed to the King of Arizona. The laomestake location covers the chief workings up to this date. There is on this claim a strong vein of gold-bearing quartz. This lode or vein has three well-marked divisions or layers. On the hanging wall there is a soft layer from 1 to 'iVt inches wide, which averages about 12,800 per ton in value. Next below this there is a middle layer or body of quartz about 20 inches thick, which will average about $90 to S100 per ton in value. The remainder of the vein, so far as it is exposed by the shaft, aver ages about jsM per ton. Test holes have been drilled 3 feet deep into the foot wall, and all are in ore. The shaft by which the exposure of the nature of the vein has been made is 200 feet deep and follows the dip of the hanging wall a distance of 40 feet easterly and 30 feel westerly. These show a continuity of vein, having the same characters and 'aiucs develop ed by the shaft. Ihe hill rises rapidly both east and west of the shaft so that the height of backs on the lode above the drifts is greater than a the shaft. At a point about 30 feet west of the shaf tnd on a level with the collar of the shaft the vein has been crosscut from wall to wall, snowing it 18 feet wide at that point. The on to the crosscut is of about the same grade as that in the shaft. The croppings of the veil: may be followed for some 700 feet of the Home stake shaft to a second onening, known as "The King of Arizona Shaft" This shaft is about 5i feet deep, and by means of drill holes the vei: is shown to be 11 feet in width and has an eve age value of $10 per ton. At a point 300 fet ea -of the Homestake shaft a tunni has ;er-n rr. . . which crosscuts the vein 10 ; f " bii.- v. face. At this point the hanging v- t incbes wide and has an average vuiue oi iSu i ton. The tunnel then passes through 30 feet c vein matter running about 53 pei ton. thenc through 7 feet of ore carrying &3 per ton to th foot wall. The total distance from hanging wa to foot wall along this tunnel is 40 feet. A dri has been run along the foot wail to the Horn stake shaft at a distance of 300 feet, and t average value of the ore exposed is $14 p r .c. .

The road led to Yuma, an in passing the Gila range they went within few feet or yards of a very modest outcrop o quartz .which no one seemed to consider of sui flcicnt value to merit any attention. That hum bie and insignificant quartz outcrop is today the outcrop of the great Fortuna mine. It is situated on the westward slope and nearl at the base of the range of mountains called o some of the old maps the Gila range. Thi trends northwesterly and reaches nearly to th Gila river at the point now known as Blaisdcll The railway in its course to Yuma passe around the northwest point of this rang "Where the rocks are exposed at that point the are mostly of homogeneous granite, of gra color and weathered out at the surfaces, which .however, are much pitted as if by decomposi ion of some soft substance. But beyond these .-:low-lying hills of granite there are big outcrops -etf rock which to the experienced eye Indicate naratified formations. They are indeed strati--fled, for the bulk of the range southward and southeastward Is composed of regular stratified, laminated, hard gnelssic rock. I use the word "gneisslc" in a very general and comprehensive sense, for you can describe these rocks with much more accuracy if you localize them as mica slates and hornblendlc slates, with Inter polations or quartzite beds, especially in the upper part of the series, with green stains, sup posed to be stains of copper and decomposition of copper ore, which they probably are, al though there are peculiarities of color, and some yellow colors, which indicate to me the presence of some other mineral, possiblv, tel lurium, which by its decomposition has "given these colors. The fact remains, however, ' that the bullion from the upper part of the vein con tains more copper than it now contains in the lower levels of the mine. The workings which have been carried on here have developed a condition of things which could not be foretold from an inspection of the outcrop. The vein or lode appears to be a chimney, not a contino ous ore body, nor a continuous vein with an ore. body or chimney or chute upon it. As re marked the outcropping points indicate that there is no very great longitudinal extension of this ore body. The vein is rcmarkabiK first in this limited out crop; second, in its continuity in depth, its con tinued satisfactory richness, and the promise it gives of enrichment by further veins dipping into it on the foot-wall sides. Some facts in reganl to the product or yield: The ore paid from the surface. The product or ore extracted up to the time has been about 80 tons per day, which is sent to the 20-stamp mill, each stamp of which crushes about 4 tons in every twenty-tour hours. The extraction is chiefly and largely by power drills. A force of 80 men is employed by this mine and mill. The grc a-er part of the labor underground and mining is done by compressed air. The lode, I was told, was G to 15 feet wide. This large space permits the use of power drills to great advantage. In the material hoisted there are fragments of the wall rocks, .some of which are thrown out, but many pieces- pass through the mill. They would prefer to reject most of this wall rock, but it would take more time and ex pense than it does to mill it, and there is a chance of some of it containing gold. From these 80 tons of rock crushed daily the average product is perhaps &8.000 worth of gold per month. Some months thev have produced as hich asSM.OOi). In the region of the Fortuna mine the forma tions appear to be wholly of mica slate and hornblende slate, with some arenaceous lavers Ike old micaceous sanastones and nuartzites. The mine is surrounded by black hornblendic slates and mica slates, dipping southward and southwestward at an ancle of about 45 degrees. aud these slates are very evenly laminated. ridge after ridge. Health is the stem upon, -which the flovrcr of beauty buds and blossoms. It may be said that a healthy woman io always beautiful, for health has a beauty all its own. The clear eye, the bright complexion, the firm step, the ringing laugh,' have a charm which exceeds the charm of mere beauty of features, when such beauty belongs to a weak, nervous, irritable woman. Health is, therefore, the most precious heritage of woman, to be kept and guarded- as a priceless posses sion. When we look for the cause of failing health in women we shall generally find it in womanly diseases. Few women appreciate how intimately the general health is related to the local womanly health, or how surely irregularity, disa greeable drains, or female weakness will undermine the strength, rob the eye of its brightness and the cheek of its color. How shall health be restored to weak and sick women ? What will bring back the plumpness and prettiness which disease has marred ? There are thousands .of women who could answer those questions out oi a happy experience. these is Mrs. Mary E. Lewis, who writes the following letter : Mrs. Mary E. Lewis, of Tanner, Gilmer Co., W. Va., writes: I will always recommend Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, Goldeu Medical Discovery' and ' Pleasant Pellets,' for they cured me when doctors and other medicines failed. For fifteen years I suffered untold misery. When I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's medicines, I had given up all hope of ever getting well. I could not he down to sleep, and everything I ate would almost cramp me to death. Was very nervous and could hardly walk across the room. 1 only weighed ninety pounds when I commenced taking these medicines; I now weigh one hundred and forty pounds and am having better health than ever before. My friends all say they can hardly believe that I am the same person; after being sick so long, I have changed to be robust and rosy-cheeked. I have taken fifteen bottles of ' Prescription,' fifteen of the Discovery ' and fifteen of tb-j 'Pellets.' I take great pleasure in recoui mending your medicines to the sick for I know that if it had not been for them I would not have been living" to-day. I am very thankful to God, who put the great power in your medicines that cured me." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well. How amply that claim 13 supported by letters like the above! and how much more that sentence ex presses than is to be found in the bare statement of the fact. Mrs. Lewis' cure could all be summed up in the statement that she was weak and was made strong, was sick and was made well, by the use of " Favorite Prescrip tion." But the statement would Jje far less impressive than when she tells of fifteen long years of helpless suffering, doctors and medicines failing to relieve her, all hope of getting well gone, not able to lie down, to sleep, scarcely able to walk across the room, her nervous system shattered, and her body wasted until she weighed hat ninety pounds. Then she is led to try Dr. Pierce's medicines, gains fifty pounds in weight, has better health than ever before in her hfo, becomes robust and rosy-cheeked, and is a wonder both to herself and her friends. "It is with pleasure that I recommend Dr. Pierce's medicines,'' writes Mrs Nora H. Tipton, of Cropper (Cropper Station), Shelb'. Co., Ky "You remember my case was one of female weakness and weak lungs. I had no appetite and would often spit blood was confined to my bed almost half of the time, and could hardly stand on my feet at tunes for the pains through my whole body and system. My husband had to pay many largs doctor -bills for me, but since I have taken four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription four of ' Golden Medical Discovery, ' and three vials of 'Pleasant Pellets,' we haven't paid any more doctor bills It has been seven months since I stopped using Dr. Pierce's medicines, and f have been enjoying good health ever since. I can never praise these medicines too highly for I have received so much benefit I pray that many who suffer as I did will take Dr. Pierce's medicines. I am sure they will never fail to cure when given a fair trial. Everybody tells me I look better than they ever saw me. I am sure I feel better than I ever did before." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription establishes regularity, dries disagreeable drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. It pro motes the appetite, cures nervousness, sleeplessness, backache, headache, and other ills which are caused by womanly diseases. Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free AH correspond ence is treated as strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.

The following report from the direc tor of experiment station, is published as giving a fair resume of the conclu sions which have heen reached in re gard to agriculture in this territory: One of the most encouraging signs of the times in connections with Arizona is the growth of her agricultural interests. These interests, by creating a settled population and certain sources of wealth, insure the Territory, as a whole, against those excessive fluctuations In popula tion and finance which arc so often observed In purely mining communities. Although butn small percentage of the total area of Arizona is under cultivation, yet when the actual amount and productiveness of these lands is considered, the place of agriculture among the industries of the Territory is very important. Arizona has and always will have land in-cxcesrs-of the water supply available tor irrigation, without which agriculture can, excepting in rare instances, hardly be considered. Out of about 72,800,CC0 acres in the Territory only 5,700,000 acres are T""ivately owned, of which about 450.000 acres i f under irrigation ditch. For the to:a: amount uf land under ditch, there is not sufficient water in all instances to insure crops; but in time there can be little doubt that the storage and development of water will lead to the successful irrigation of much more than the area under ditch. The future of agriculture in Arizona Is. with out question, more than usually good, and for the reason that the conditions of soil, irrigation and climate combine to produce an uncommon variety and amount of marketable produce. The soil of Arizona, ns is usual with the soils of arid regions, are rich iu the elements of f rtili- ty, requiring only the ever-needful water, skill, and industry in their management to secure abundant returns. The fertility of cultivated soils in irrigated regions is further assured by the deposite of silt brought upon the land with irrigation water. The. problems of fertilization, which become so serious in humid sections, arc therefore of much less importance here and not to be so carefully reckoned with in connection with the future of our agriculture. The most marked advantage in connection with agriculture and horticulture, 'especially in southern Arizona, is the climate. From January to June the temperature resembles that of spring and early summer in the latitude of Ken tucky. From June to September the climate is of subtropical fervor, while from September to November there is a second mild season of tem perate weather. The winter season, from Nov ember to January, though subject to sharp frosts in southern Arizona, is not seriously or even uncomfortably cold. Owing to this combination of seasons a re-, markable variety of crops may be found in the ! same locality at different times of the year. Strawberries, which flourish in Greenland, may be found on the same land with dates and palms from Sahara. Alfalfa, the great forage of the arid West, flourishes alongside with wheat, corn, and sorghum, respectively characteristic of Minnesota, Illinois, and Kansas. Oranges, lemons, and olives from California may be found in the same neighoorhoort with peanuts and sweet potatoes from Virginia. In brief, many of the leading crops of both temperate and sub tropical countries, which are r.ot affected by a" too axixUitmospherc or by the frosts of winter, flourish in southern Arizona. In northern Ari zona, where the temperatures more resemble those of northern Illinois, many of the more dis tinctively temperate-region crops flourish, Jsuch as potatoes, apples, and various small fruits. When, with this diversity of products is ; coupled a healthful, and for the most of the year agreeable, climate, it will bo seen that agricul tural in Arizona possesses distinct advantages. So!
