Pima Co, 55 miles s e of Tucson and 27 miles from Pantano, occupies a pleasant site in the Santa Rita Mountains, 5,000 feet above the level of the sea. West of the town, at a distance of three miles, is a peak known as Old Baldy, which rises to the height of 10,000 feet, being one of the highest in Arizona. In the vicinity are rich gold placers, and also gold, silver and cop- per ledges of great richness and extent, which are being rapidly developed. The cli- mate of this section is unsur- passed, there being no very great extremes of heat or cold. The mountains and hills are covered with oak, pine, cedar and other kinds of timber, and abound in game, such as deer, antelope, turkey, duck, quail, rabbit, etc. The stages of the Pantano and Harshaw line pass within five miles of the town.

Pima Co, 70 miles s e of Tuc- son and 50 miles s of Pantano, is a thriving and important town, pleasantly situated among hills covered with grass and trees, in one of the richest mining dis- tricts of Arizona. It is about 5,000 feet above the sea level and is supplied with good mountain water. A large trade is carried on with So- nora and adjacent camps. About three miles distant are the ruins of the smelting works of the old Mowry Mine. A collection of adobe ruins and a lofty chimney are all

that remain to denote the site of what was once the liveli- est mining camp in Arizona. From several mines in the vicinity high-grade ore is being extracted; and one, the Hermosa, which has a 20- stamp mill in constant opera- tion, is yielding from $60,000 to $75,000 per month. In the valleys and hills throughout this section are some excellent agricultural and grazing lands. Timber, including oak, wal- nut, ash and juniper are abun- dant. The growth of the town has been rapid, and al- though but little over a year old contains about 1,000 in- habitants. Stages leave daily for Pantano, connecting with the trains of the Southern Pacific R R, and tri-weekly for Tombstone, via Camp Evans, Camp Huachuca, and .Charleston.

Cachise Co, 20 miles s w of Tombstone, on the San Pedro River, promises to be a place . of some importance in the near future. The Neptune Mining Company, who are working valuable claims in Warren District and the Huachuca mountains, have commenced the erection of smelting works on an exten- sive scale, and propose to con- struct a narrow-gauge railroad for the transportation of their ores to this point. An east- ern company who have lately purchased claims in Warren District also contemplate the erection of chemical works. This, together with its advan- tageous location, being on the main road from Charleston to Sonora, assures its prosperity.

many of which ore of a high grade has been obtained, and considerable bullion extract- ed. The completion of the Thirty-fifth Parallel Railroad to the Colorado River will, no doubt, give a great impetus to mining in this section, and Mineral Park may, in the near future, be a place of some note. The springs in the neighborhood are strongly impregnated with minerals, and the water so bitter as to be unfit for use; but to coun- terbalance this, the climate is delightful, there being no great extremes of heat or cold. Communication is main- tained with Prescott, Hack- berry, Hardyville, and Fort Mohave by a daily line of stages.

furnishing water for irrigat- ing the fertile valley, and supplying the life-giving ele- ment to the gardens and shade-trees of the streets. This is one of the most import- ant streams of the Territory, not from its size, but from the large extent of arable soil it flows past, and which may be irrigated by its waters. Hav- ing a considerable fall, the waters may, in its upper course, be utilized for pro- pelling mining and milling machinery, and in its lower course led long distances from its channel to the fields of the husbandman. The valley, in the midst of which is this lovely city, is 60 miles in length by from 10 to 20 miles in width, gently sloping to the river from each side, and slop- ing also toward the south-west with the fall of the stream, making it exceedingly favor- able for artificial irrigation. In such a naturally-favored region, a pleasant and pros- perous city was sure to spring. The settlement dates with the expulsion of the Apache ma- rauders who were driven from this region by the combined efforts of the military and the Pima and Maricopa Indians. The town was laid out in 1870, on a liberal and com- prehensive plan, with streets crossing each other at right angles, in accordance with the cardinal points of the compass. Six of the princi- pal streets are 100 feet in width; the others 80 feet wide, with alleys of 20 to 25 feet in width. Bordering the
streets are sidewalks 16 feet wide, and on the others the walks are 12 feet wide. Those streets running north and south generally bear some Indian name, while those run- ning east and west are nam- ed after the Presidents of the United States. There are two public squares or plazas, each 300 feet square. It is in latitude 33 deg 18 min, and 112 deg 0 min 15 sec west longitude. The altitude is 1,800 feet above the sea. Rain-fall in 1879 was 6.25 inches, and in 1880, 6.82 inches, distributed through the year as follows: Jan, 1.16; Feb, 0.38; March, 0.26; April, 0.15; May, 0.0; June, 0.49; July, 1.18; Aug, 0.72 ; Sept, 0.67; Oct, 0.20; Nov, 0.0; Dec, 1.61. The temper- ature was at the highest June 17th, 111 deg; and lowest, Nov 18th, 24 deg. The mean temperature was 68.9 deg. Slight frosts only are felt; the orange, grape, pome- granite, and all semi-tropical fruits and plants growing to perfection. The population, as given by the census in 1880, was 1,800, but is now estimated at 2,400, and in- creasing with the rapid ad- vance of Arizona. The town is well built, though mostly of adobe, there being several handsome private residences and stores, and public build- ings of commodious and substantial appearance. The streets are lined by a luxur- iant growth of shade-trees, kept in a flourishing condi- tion by streams of water flow-

ing along their roots from the irrigating ditches, which also water the plazas and gardens, giving a refreshing and invit- ing appearance to the town, and its pleasant homes. The stores contain large stocks of merchandise and fancy wares, and carry on a profit- able trade, made secure by the substantial resources of the surrounding country. A first-class hotel, the Bank Ex- change, kept by Mr. E. Ganz, and also the Phoenix Hotel, provide excellent accommo- dations for the traveling pub- lic. A large flouring - mill, run by the waters of Salt River, capable of producing 25,000 pounds of the best quality of flour per day, fur- nishes a market for grain, and supplies much of the flour used in Arizona. . This cre- ates considerable business for the town, and is an enterprise worthy of emulation. This mill has four sets of French .burr millstones, driven by a thirty and a half inch Leffel turbine water - wheel; placed under a twenty-five foot fall. All the machinery necessary for a first-class mill is driven by this power. The condi- tion of society is well illustra- ted by the schools, churches, and numerous social orders. Phoenix justly takes pride in its fine school-house, this be- ing, as the cause deserves, the most conspicuous public build- ing in the city. It is a hand- some brick building, two sto- ries high, with belfry and flag- staff, 60 feet front by 40 in depth, with an entry 40 feet
