Excerpt from Statistical Information Relating to the Mohawk Valley of Arizona: The Choicest Spot in the Basin of the Great North American Nile

Dear Sir: - In answer to your esteemed favor of the 9th ult. I take pleasure in sending you the following sketch of our beautiful valley :

Location.

The Mohawk Valley is a portion of the Great Gila Valley and lies on the north side of the Gila River, its western edge being about 38 miles from the town of Yuma on the Colorado River. The Southern Pacific Railroad runs parallel to the entire length of the Mohawk Valley and is at no place more than six miles distant.

The Valley is irrigated by the Mohawk Canal, which is owned by the Mohawk Canal and Improvement Company, a California corporation.

Climate.

The climate is semi-tropical; that is, hot for four months and pleasantly mild for eight. June, July, August and September are the tropical months that give the country its phenominal productiveness. It is the heat and the water combined that work the wonders of this district. When the word hot is used, it should,however, not be confused with the sweltering atmosphere of the Eastern dog days. The atmosphere here is dry and the evaporation rapid, therefore the heat is not oppressive. The only time one hears any remark at all about the heat is on some rare occasion after a shower when the air becomes humid and the mercury falls to 85� or 90� in the shade; but with the atmosphere in its usual and normal condition the mercury may rise above 100� in the shade and the harvesters and haymakers will sing at their labor as merrily as you please; and when the night comes on after one of those intense summer days there is a dolce far niente sensation that creeps over you like a charm, and reconciles you to the glare and heat of the hottest spell. The nights are always pleasantly cool and bring such refreshing sleep that fully restores the wasted energy of the day and leaves yon in the morning bright and ready for whatever fate may have in store for yon. And since this is all we need to say in explanation of the general misconception of the Arizona summer, we can invite you to give wings to your brightest fancy in picturing the delights of the peerless climate of the remaining eight months of the year.
