miners, lumbermen and capju lists
There is no section ot country in the
American continent which can com
pare with the wealth of thi truly
wonderful Yaqui vallep, comprising
nearly 1,000,000 acres of highly pro
ductive lands, on which may begrown
cotton, sugar cane, coffee, oranges,
limes, lemons and all tropical fruits,
tobacco, wheat, corn, beans, tomatoes
- in fact, almost any product of the
torrid and temperate zones. The Ya
qui Indians are an industrious, peace
able, energetic people, and will soon
bring this great area to a high state
of productiveness. The climate Is all
that can be desired. The heat is not so
oppressive as is commonly supposed,
and the temperature will compare
favorably with most places in North
ern California. G lobe-Democrat.
