About thirty miles to the east and southeast lies the Buckskin mountains, which are now covered with snow, and where there is plenty of saw timber. A steam sawmill saw-mill has just been taken out there and may possibly be put in running order this winter. Fredonia has twenty-nine houses and a large, young population, and the place will eventually become a large town. There is plenty of land, but little water for irrigation. Notwithstanding this, water can be obtained by sinking wells from twelve to twenty feet, which water could be raised with pumps and windmills. wind-mills. Tl.M. Fredonia. Arizona, Nov. 22, |
