Phceniz, the shire town of the
garden of Arizona, is pleasantly lo
cated on the north half of section
eight, in township one, north of
range three,' east of the meridian of
Suit River. The patent for the
town site was issued by President
Grant to
JUDGE JOES' T. ALSAP
On the 10th of April, 1S74. The
original Commissioners ot the town
were John T. Akap, M. P. Griffin
and Wm. A. Hancock. The tnwn
was surveyed and platted by Win.
A. Hancock in 1SG9. The survey
is true with the cardinal points of
the compass. Jack Swilling, one
of the first settlers and projectors of
the town enterprise, gave Phoenix
its .name, selecting therefor the
fabled bird of antiquity, whose cog
nomen he found in tin old copy of
Webster's dictionary, the said book
still being in Jack's possession and
constituting the bulk of his libra:?.
At this 'time the town a
WILDERNESS OF SAGF.DHC8U AKD
JIESQCIT.
Since then various ditches have
been taken out from that never fail
ing source of supply, Suit River,
and Phoenix finds bi.rstlf centrally
situated in the midst of an agricultu
ral region that cannot be surpassed
in the United Stati-s in its general
fertility and adaptiveness to the
growth, of the temperate and semi
tropical fruits vegetables, and ce
rtuU. The growth of the town has not
been fi'verinh, nor of the mushroom
order, but it h.is steadily and health
ily improved, not, however, in ad
vance of the improvements of the
sarrnunding country.
V ith the prospect of early
RAILROAD CONNECTION" WITH SAN
FRANCISCO,
And the greater breadth of arable
hind that is every year being added
to, by the extension of accquias,
the future prosperous growth of the
village may be considered ns per
fectly secured.
Our climutc is tha best in the
world, being exceedingly healthful;
the temperature licing regular aiiJ
without the variable changes com
moil even in the southern States of
the Union. As the IIekald will
trive its readers from time to time
the range of the thermometer this
fact of climate will be fully verin.d.
OUR SOIL
Is well adapted to the prosperous
growth of all the cereals, barley and
wheat being at present the principal
crops. Corn has been successfully
grown and was the best crop of the
valley in one of the first years of iU
settlement. It has been practically
proven that sugar cane and cotton
will flourish exubcrcntly here. Al
falfa and sorghum are the staple for
age crops. All the productions of the
garden, vineyard and orchard thrive
splendidly. The olive aud the vine,
the apple and the orange, the almond
and the peach, seem equally adapted
to the climate and soil, and, in fine,
wherever the irrigating stream eyi
be made to reach the plant, the
farmer has only to tickle the earth
with the hoe and it laughs with a
harvest, unrivalled in its range and
profusion.
The hope of the future of Arizona
lies entirely in her
MINERAL RESOURCES.
The great extent and richness of
these resources is every day in
creasing and being acknowledged.
As a base of supply for these vast
mineral fields the Salt River valley
is without a peer in the Territory.
People of other sections may dis
pute this truth, yet it is so tangible
and certain, that no one who has
tiaveled through Arizona can help
bine that it is so. Having tha
0 ly never failing water supply for
irrigation that is contiguous to ths
mineral regions, and an area of ara
ble land that cannot be beat In the
range of its agricultural products,
mass ix, as mr. bcsinfs center
Of that agricultural district, is sure
to become one of the principal points
in the Territory. Our rivals may
be, and undoubtedly are, loath to
concede this state of things, but na
ture and the regular course of things
human, have made it fo. Seeing
these things mcii of means are pur
chasing largely in Salt River ranches,
ui which title has accrued from the
government, and ehould the railroad
lands lapse to the Uuitcd States we
are confident that every'quarter sec
tion of them, within ten miles of
Phoenix, will be covered by individ
ual claimants within a year. If any
who read this wuh to
FOUND A HOME
Iu our healthy, pVnsant valley, now
is the time to secure it cheaply.. An
other year will be too late, for the
day of vacant lands and hard pio
neering is rapidly passing away, and
the headlight of the locomotive, the
true star of empire, will soon il'umi
11 ate this valley, proclaiming the
dawu of a prosperity graud as our
mountain peaks and limitless as our
mineral wealth.
