(preserved from ruins), to be found in
any of the Pacific states or territories, j
from the fact that it is the leading j

because, also, of its accessibility to ;
the mineral-producing states of our
sister republic.
During three trips which I have
made through Arizona during the
past twelve years, I have visited
Tucson and the church of San
Xavier del Bac each time, and have
failed to discover accurately the date
or circumstances of the settlement of
this bright particular gem of this
tar-oft" glittering landscape. Upon
my last visit to the church of Still
Xavier (this famous Mecca of all
Arizona tourist and travelers), I saw
manuscript chronological accounts of
marriages solemnized under then ven
erable roof of this sacred pile more
than 130 years ago, and have other
wise been made the recipient of in
formation showing almost indisputa
bly that Tucson was a settlement two
hundred and thirty odd years ago.
It is historically known that Tucson
is nearly 200 years old ; that 100 years
ago it was a military post, and con
tained a population ot nearly 500
people, and that 00 years after it con
tained at least 1,000 inhabitants.
This population then became re
duced, and in 1835 we find only about
400 people, mostly Mexicans. In
I 1803, however, we may multiply
full line of these last figures by three, and cor
i rectly arrive at the number of inhab
itants. And now we find

were 5o!) votes cast at the late elec

' each is an embodiment of l'berality
and good fellowship. The trade with
I Sonora is wonderfully large, one firm
' alone doing a business with the
I above-named Mexican state to an
amount approximating half a mil
lion dollars. Besides these, are lots
of smaller stores, such as retail gre
edy, variety, stationery, boot and
shoe, apothecary, fruit and candy
stores. There are two good hotels,
ami a number of restaurants. Then
there are saloons,-cigar stores anil
barbershops sufficient to carry on a

California.
A cathedral and other places or
Catholic worship; a Presbyterian,
church; several common schools; an
institution of learning, under the
auspices and management of the
Sisters of St. Joseph, for girls, and a
Catholic college for boys; also a
public library; and last, but first in
the dissemination ot general intelli
gence, two bright, able and influen
tial newspapers gives a clear'idea of
the moral, religious and educational
j leverage constantly brought to bear
upon the stirring cosmooiitan peo
ple of this marvel of a municipality.
There are also a number of benevo
lent societies, nnd all of the leading
secret orders are honorably respected.
' There are the usual number of Mark
! smith, wagon, carpenter and otter
j such kind of shops to be seen in any
i town of 3,000 inhabitants. There is
j also a brewery.
I The climate is in many rcspecU
like that of southern California, and,
with the exception! ot chills and
fever now and then, no finer ulimate
and no greater degree of healthful
ness can be found au3-vhere"in those
parts of Europe, .s'a or America
noted for their equability of temper
ature. The seasons are defined in
this part of Arizona as they are in
California summer and winter.
During the summer the weather is
very hot, favoring diurnally the
weather of climate or the Sacramen
to or San Joaquin valleys. At night,
however, it is excessively hot for
several mouths, there not being fo
great a fall of temperature as in Lho
California valleys above named. The
winter is a good deal like that of
southern California, "with the differ,
ence in favor of this section." The
mercury ranges lower here at night
than in any part of southern Ciili
f -rma, and the necessity for parlor
! and library fires is greatcr.hcre than

month in
and month out, excel anything, in its
kind, I believe, in the world. A
morning in winter at Tucson has no
superior in all of the range of so
called Italian climates. There Is an
atmospheric lustre, so to speak, and.
an elasticity of effect, that baffles any
attempt at faithful description.
j Frosts are frequent, but the silvery
erustings are transformed into pearl
j ur.i ai one shimmer of the rays ol
i the imperial orb. 'ihe days arc 'then
j warm and congenial throughout,
i until Cynthia takes ou her sombre
robe.
i Oue would hardly think, after a
few days intercourse with the people,
that Tucson was one of the outer
posts of civilization. For here, upon
the very verge of the republic, and in
the midst of savage scenes, may be
seen as much polileuess and business
integrity; more intelligence and hos
pitality; and only a little less re
ligion and moralitj" than exists in a
Massachusetts town of the same pop
ulation. A great many parties are
given here dining a season, and es
