H E Biker, who visited Mesa
during the past summer, contrib
utes the following to tin* Deseret
News of '-‘hli L.k-:
Arizona is m iking rapid develop
ments of her marvelous resources,
tier growth is phenomenal. She
is moving forward n>w like that
riuble Rixjrus when he made those
magniticeiic strides of twenty-tvA)
feet a step. No one cm fully ap
preciate w*i <t ha* been accom
plished in the territory without
mak.ng it a visit and espe ially
without visiti-.g its queenly young
capital of eleven thousimd people,
set as it is, like a pearl of rieheM
ruy, in the mid-t of us prolific an
agricultural district as can lie found
in this b auiiful and immensely
productive valley of the Salt river
oid Southern Arizona in safety
•* •
nd find our.selves sudilenly in th
midst of a tropical climate, a land
of perennial summer where frost
are seldom known a id the respect
ful snows of w’inter approach no
nearer than the distant mountain
crags; where the peaceful inhab
itants sleep in the balm} open air
beneath the H*r or the orange tree
or under til*- blue curtains of a
s arry sky all th- year round;
i where delicious f>uits rip u in
every riio- th of the calendar ex -
cepting two; where the poor »r*
fied with the mctar of life as well
as rich, and bu'k in the balmy
.ir of eventide surrounded with all
the luxury that a lavish and wealt -y
nature can bestow Hremiy be
grown the pomegranate, ihe lemon,
qu nee, pi ar, p*-ach, apple, prune,
date, tLs »p• loot, olive, ora ig -,
almohd *;nd grape. Here are all
the hardy fruits, vegetables nd
cereals of the north, growing sid*-
side with dainty fruits of the
s-uth iti one prodigious, neyer
e di ig crop. There is no land
with n the compass of the round
glolre whose soil is more richly
endowed w h l»oth 'he tender
dehcicies and with the hardy pro
ducts of nature, aud tin* meager
assort.neot of bestowed upon
>he soil northern Utah makes so
vivid a contrast that we pause and
wonder why everybody does not
live in Arizona.
Here., too, the songs of the most
gifted birds are floating upon the
soft and resonant air from morn
till night. There could not be a
sweett-r hour than is sometimes ex
perienced in this favored land when
one is roused from sleep in the
open air by tinkling sounds of
earliest mom to drink in with
dreamy ear the uiu-ic of a very
host of notable birds whose hal
lowed throats fill earth and air
with rar st. melody. We hear th*'
distant wippor-w lj’s lam* nt an
swered by the cuckoo’s sad and
far-away lay, aud again t ie plain
tive notes of the turtle-dove and
tne doleful sounds of the moping
owl; and all these low and un lan
ch »ly notes of the gamut as they,
foil upon the «tt* mive *'•• t are
blended with the merry warbling
voice of the thrush and oriole.
And the uieadow-lark breaks forth
with never changing rouud of leap
ing dancing n »ti*s. The wild
oinary, too, with all his little soul
sounds the sweet anthem of his
morninsr praise, all unconscious
thit it is the hour for birds of
mightier voice to rouse the sleeping
world. Then c*>ines the iron
throated hlaqk-bii'4 with his clarion
trump of morn. But the grand**nt
songster of all the feathery tribe ia
the kingly-roooking bird. Upon
the leafy summit of the loftiest
tree he sits glorified in the blaze of
the m >rning light and with silvery
tongue enrols all that is heard be
low, sweet or harsh, soft oi loud.
He is above all, because he sings
the songs of all. He is the imper
sonation nf each and the unifica
tion of the singing host. He is the
matchless songster, the peerbss
inockmg-b.rd 1
Some parts of Arizona are well
s**ttlel and have been thoroughly
cultivated for yaars, yielding as
large a variety of fruits, cereals and
vegetables as any land in America
Its Roil is immensely productive
and profitable and when improved
cannot be purchastd for less than
650 to 6250 per acre. Maricopa
county alone, in which is located
tne beautiful capital city of Phqe
nix, yields nearly ?ts great an agri
c mural and fruit product, and as
much tiue marketable stock per
season, we venture to say, as does
the sovereign state of Ritode Island.
Tiie noted little Morin iu settle
ment of Mesa is located in th>-
central portion of this magnificent
country. It is far famed for it*
excellent fruits and wines, the land
is level for many miles and the soil
inexhaustibly rich. The growth of
vegetation is so rapid that a hew
farm may. it is said, b* covered
with a growth of wide spreading
trees in three years time. The
country is beautiful, checkered
clean long highways so densely
shaded in places that the rays of
the sun can scarcely find away
through. In the older districts the
houses are of the most modern
-tyle, clean, cool, and inviting.
Largo palm trees spread their
broad canopy leaves over the door
y irds, while the pomegranate* th**
fig, the date, the prune, the almond
tree, with oraitge, peach, pear and
grape are found shattered more or
hsa abundantly through the gar
dens and .orchards of the country.
The climate is said to be unsur
passed for the cure of lung and
throat diseases. Southern Oalifor
nia to the west and Colorado tot he
east have both sc» d high as
asylums for the consumptive, but
while California is ini Id it is not
dry, and vice versa, while Colorado
is dry it is not mild. Here, how
ever, in the Salt River valley of
Arizona is a climate both mild and
dry, making it a natural sanitarium
for the diseased lung or throat.
That portion of this superb val
ley which is tributary to Phoenix
about fifty miles long and fifteen
miles wide and is covered with a
system of c*uals so ue two or three
hundr d miles in length and supplied
with water from the Salt river.
This splendid river coming iuto the
valley from the east and supple
minted with the waters of the
Verde am 1 mmy other smaller
streams, wh'ch d**ain a territory of
not less th in 15,000 square u.ilea,
furnishes much more water than is

now used for irrigating purposes
The California banks haveadodted
the eastern rule which does away
with the overdraft system and re
quires a depositor to borrow money
|in the usual way and pay interest
on the amount placed to his omit,

The proceedings of the last
meeting of the IrntAoe Asylum
hoard showed & reduction in the
expense of maintaining that insti
tution for the past month of nearly
four hundred dollars, and the hills
of last month included a weod
supply for three months and grain
supply for six months. It is be*
lievyd the cost of running the
asylum will tie finally reduced to
fifteen hundred dollars per month,
which will be forty per cent re- if
due ion on the past management of
this institution and that with more
patients.

Commissioners and Hupt. Hamblin
are to be congratulated on their
administration of this important
public institution.—Star,

the general activity that has re
cently marked gold mining enter*
prises. Time wai when no pros
pejtor would trouble bituscdf with
a of gold bearing quarts that

she gold output of Arizona,._,-a*rsa
doubt, will be heavily increased in
f * 1 t. '
the future, and it is not too much
to anticipate that its value will in
’imp exceed the loss from the da
preciation of silver. One trouble
about Arizona is that it has been
too modest about Us ova fine re
sources and hat not sufficiently
counteracted a general impression
in the east that its chief products
are cacti and cowboy* When tha
cheap humorist who is circulating
the Arizona Kicker fiction dies, or

really worth.—Minitig Scien
tific Press.
The return * flood of travel has
begun* The many citizens of the
valley who have gone to the sea
shore and to the World's Fair have
begun their return and a. consequent
revival of business begins. The
stream of visitors has also com
menced and will now be augmented
day by day. But few vacant
houses are te be had even ao early
in the season as this, and the
chances are that boarding bouses
and now vaoant rooms will be filled
to overflowing within the next two
months Tfcfc prospects are that
people visiting us who have money
will be ready to invest among us.
The vast quantity of money that
has been withdrawn from the banks
will be seeking safe investment,
and there are few places on earth
that offer greater inducements for
a paying proposition of that kind.—
