 the owner Of the old building, went into 1t and simply cleaned out the whole in- side, pOstoffice, depository, stOre-rooms and all, Of the establishment corner of Main and Congress streets, only leaving the exterior walls and portions of the roofs standing and in place.

 RETAIL sALES-RooM.
 This room covers the space occupied by the former general store, :and thence ex- the position Of the old ware-room in the rear. It makes an exact L, the foot Of the letter extending north and south on Main street. with two doors, as Of old, on Main and one door fronting north on Congress street. Upon the west side Of thls part of the room, between the two doors on Main street, Is enclosed in glass and frame cases a perfect buou of a cOunting-office, with the most practical and useful convenience es. For the efficiency Of the internal management of this office, 1t is enough to say that it's affairs and books are manipu- lated by Mir. Frank Stables.
 On the south end Of the foot Of the L, the retail sales-room extends eastwardly, bazar extends from Main street, parallel with Congress street. to the old wareroom | in the rear. IL Is lighted from the roof by large sky lights, extending upward at an langle Of Norty-dve degrees. The roof is supported in the center by a long row Of pillars running up and down the middle Of the bazsr. Upon either side. counters extend tbe whole length of the room, be- hind which are displayed samples Of ev- cry kind and variety Of goods contained in their warerooms, while the spaces in front, in the center Of the room, are too ample and spacious 10 ever be obstructed. Ranging along in front of the counters will be added cushioned stools, for the &C., lconmodation of lady customers fin mak- ing inspection and purchase Of goods.

 THE PoSToFFICE
 Upon the north side Of the east end Of the bazaT, a covered passage way opens through wide folding doors upon Congress street. On the east side Of this is the new postoffice, directly under the competent charge Of deputy postmaster, c. V. D. Lovejoy. For the first time in its history Tucson has postoffice building and con- rr>Fe fa Onr master, Dr. c. II. Lord, while he has al- ways kept 8 most efficient deputy in charge of his office, has long recognized the unsuitableness Of its location, but saw no way to remedy the defect, from the in- sufficiency Of office accommodation where it was needed. But in this new pOstoffice he has remedied all defects. The boxes face directly on the avenue passage and can be reached from both Congress and Main streets. There are thirty-eight lock boxes and eIghty-eight glass boxes. For all actual use or convenience there could be no better postofiice.
 THE DISPLAY OF GOODS. Under the guidance Of Mir. R. B.

Wherever we turned thee were counters, shelves, and floors, Iadtn with packages and bales Of goods. iron the most trihing gewgaw to line costliet articles Of merchandise. There were
