48 In the winter of 1893 this railroad will have reached Phoenix, the capital, which is located in the Salt River Valley, 140 miles beyond Prescott — a mag- nificent level floor, walled in by mountains, and con- taining a million acres of irrigable lands. Here, in a climate where snow is unknown, nearly every va- riety of fruit and nut, except those that are absolutely restricted to the tropics, is grown in extraordinary profusion, in addition to the ordinary cereals and vegetables of the North... Temperate Zone. The list is long, and includes grapes, quinces, apricots, peaches, nectarines, pears, plums, prunes, pomegranates, loquats, guavas, Japanese persimmons, figs, oranges, lemons, olives, dates, peanuts, almonds and pecans. The neighborhood of Prescott yields vast quantities of copper, and not a little gold. There are, among other famous deposits, the United Verde copper-mines and the Congress and Rich Hill gold-mines; the last- named situated upon an isolated peak, where in the early days free gold was literally whittled from the rock with knives and chisels.
