When the bil! for the admission
of Arizona was b‘fore the Hou m
H* pb urn of lowa said: “The ider
that people wont l go from low i
out to that arid country is prepos
terous. I went out there once aw'
I never saw a green tiling—ttub’S
I wore breeches.*
Bowers of California in his re
j ply declared that the valleys of Ari
zona was more fertile than those ot
the Nile. H pburn coining from a
I State largely prohibition in sent'i
ment is unacquainted with irriga
tion.”
The Sacramento, Cal., Bee says
B iwers was right in his characteri
zation. There is no spot on earth
where the soii is more fertile than
the Silt River valley in Arizona*
Wherever water is placed on th<
arid plains of Arizona, the trans
formation is wonderful. The yuc< a
and the cactus are replac ed by tin
orange, the lemon, the vine and
deciduous fruits of all varieties.
California’s coining fruit rival is
Arizona. The latter being free
from fog, liaviug a warmer climan
and an earlier spring, is destined i«>
sup dy the eastern m trket with the
earliest fruits grown in thee mntry.
Arizona has an imm use acreage
that can be irrigated from the Col
orado and other rivers. Alr*-ad)
vast irrigation schemes in the terri
tory are making the desert blossom
in vino, and tree and the bounty of
harvest. The future of Ar.zona is
bright with promise.
This season starts out with a
great deal of promise for the cattle
men. The demand for cattle is
good and buyeis are purchasing
cattle in greater numbers than
ever been before known at this sea
j son of the ye.ir in this part of New
| Mexico. Several shipments have
been made from this country this
year, and buyers are in iking con
tracts f »r spring deliv ry whenever
it is possible, but ranch men gen
erally are holding olf in the expec
tation of better prices than are now
being offered. The cattle shipments
from this parr, of the territory this
year promise to be 1 irger than ever
befure and cattle are in much bet
ter condition than they have been
for a number of years past.—Silver
Ciry Enterprise.
There are at present in the min
ing districts near Yuina eight quartz
mills having a combined capacity
of 150 stamps. Thirty stamps are
not quite ready to drop and three
mills of ten stamps each are idle.
The remaining ninety stamps are
all running on gold of varying rich
ness. The product will probably
average SIOO,OOO per month. In
l addition to this the product of the
j silver-lead districts is from SIO,OOO
jto $45 000 per month. The hum
1 her of men employed in and around
the mines and mills is about 500—
Turn 8.
The Silver City Sentinel says,
Col. Ha*d n, who lias extensive
cattle interests in Nevada nays that
j the present holding of cattle which
are feeding will average only about
one-half in we ght and three fifths
in number as compared with those
fed in former years. He looks to
see beef cattle bring eight cen's in
1 j the market before April Ist, owing
1 | to the poor prospects.—Ex.

The Congress mine, 60 miles north
we«t of Phoenix, his lu»«n bonded
from the heirs of Diamond Jno
•Reynolds for a million dollars. Tiih
bond is held by Chas. Armes and
N. K. Fairbanks, the Chicago mil
lionaires, and E. B. Gige, in longer
of the Grand Cential mine at To-iib

“You can take the witness,” said
rhe prosecuting attorn«»y in a trial
before a Texas court to the defend
ant g lawyer. The witness happen
ed to be a good looking girl.
“Judge,” oxc'aimsd a yoking man
in the back part of the room, .stand

National l:v*k note circulation,
which reached $209,500,000 during
the money stringency l ist summer,
has declined to $204,500,000, and
•s daily growing smaller. During
December it decreased' $2,422,000,
and in January $1,305 000 in law
ful money, to redeem the bank
notes when presented, have been
deposited in the treasury. By law
the reduction of bank note circula

month.
A M.ter from Harrisburg states
that John Bullet has made a very
rich gold discovery in the vicinity
of Copper Camp, northwest of Vul
ture. The or<» is as valuable as
any found in the Harqua Hala. A

“Shoe brunches, 10 cents,” was
what caught the eye of a man pass
ing the shop o f a tradesman with
whom lie had had some dealings.
The passerov went in and said,
“That isn’t the way to snell brushes”
•‘Of course it isn’t.” said the cheer
ful merchant. You are the tenth
this morning to come in and
call my attention to the mistake.”

The Prescott Courier says the
Lvnx Creek placer miners are p'l
'ng up their rich gravel waiting for
n flow of water sufficient to run it
through the hoxes. A*, a number
of places on the creek there is plen
ty nf water for rocking, and those
engaged in that method of extract
ing the yellow metal are making
good wages.

Supt. Gates has demonstrated hi.s

w*rd has been received that, tb •
horticultural excursion no** • t
Phoenix will not visit the souHi
side, the time being fully engaged
by the Phoenix Chamb r of Com
merce. After coining so far th<s
visitors should not have missed *
trip through this section of the »• t ]
h-y and the chamber of coniine e«
will probably live to set its *h«»r -
sighted ms* in not bringing th .>
here. Some o? the things-they have
misled seeing are:
One of the richest gold mines in
the world.
The ouly cactus factory in
world:
The largest flouring mill in <‘*.n
sputhwest*; run by waterpower
The largest steam dredger in J»
United State*.
The largest acreage of heart.»g
deciduous fruit trees of all varie;>««
in the valley.
The largest vineyard in the tern
lory. Acres of young orange, olive
and lemon trees.
The most extensive irrigating
system in the southwest.
Thousands of acres of the finest
fruit land in the world at prices
ranging from $25 to SSO . per aero,
with water.
Miles of green alfalfa fields dotted
with thousands of cattle fattening
for the markets.
The famous ruins of Los Muertos,
the ancient city to have
contained a population of 100 000
souls.
Grain fields stretching a wav
far as the eye can reach.
These are a few of the th*‘«"»
that, the visitors have missed s«ei>".
There is no donbt however but tb*fc
they will be pleased with the v-iH *v
and with what the Phoenix pe >pl*
can show them, for it is really in
many instances only a smaller sesle
of what they would have seen on the
southside.
We are proud of the sou r hside
not because it is particularly better
thtn the Phoenix country, hut be- .
cause it shows moie extensive de
velopment. We believe it would
have been a benefit to all parts of
the valley to have had the stran
gers take a trip through this sec
tion.—Tempe News.
