 Stafford, Hudson x Co. formally opened business to day, Tn two spacious and fitly finished and furnished rooms adjoining the mercantile house Of Lord x Will Hams, on Congress street. They have an immense safe, counter, desks and o,heI appliances that would adnrn bank rooms in any city, and all well adapted 10 the business. Everything about the institu- ton, including the individual members Of and reliability. Charles Hudson the Man lager, is a thorough banker, having had twenty years experience in New York City, and for three years prior to last Jan- uary, was cashier and chief book keeper Of Lord X Williams Of Tucson-thus giv- ling him needed acquaintance with men and business here. His capacity and in- tegrity are perfect and unprecedented by all
 who know him. A. r. K. Safrord is favor ably and widely known. He was among the '49 emigrants to California. Until
 within two years past, he gave twenty
 five continuous years to public life and affairs in California, Nevada and Arizona, and might have succeeded himself as Gov ernOr Of this Territory, after having served two full terms in manner highly honor able to himself and creditable to the Ter ri.Ory. Advancing years admonished him that he must leave the unprodtable busl- ness Of public life-for to the honest man, public life gives little moneyed profit. En- IjOying as he does, the entire confidence of the public generally. he also enjoys that of the most noted men Of enterprise and capital in the country. James H. Toole is 49er on the Pacific CoBSt, and had his ups and downs in California. He came 10 Arizona seventeen years ago an officer in the California Battalion and was quarter master for three years, and In this time millions of dollars worth of public prop Ierty passed to and from hls charge, and lthe United States owes him a small bal lance to this day. He has transacted mer- cantile business here and is large owner Of real estate. He is now serving his third term as Mayor Of Tucson at the urgent demand. of the people. In each aud all the capacities named. he justly earned land now enjoys the reputation Of sue lcessful and honest man. John WaSson has been on She Pacific Coast since 1852 and in Arizona during the nine years just past. For fifteen years, he has been bold and useful journalist, and much oi the time has held public offices which he always filled efficiently and honestly. He lis now on his third term as United States Surveyor General for Arizona, and but a la couple Of months ago attended the Idnal meeting Of the United States Gen. ItenniaI Commission, having been an [ active member Of that body for seven
 years; and it is but just to say that tha' Commission performed an immense worh without pay, and to the great credit and
 benefit Of the country at large He enjoys the entire confidence of his superior ofh lcers al Washington and of leading ousl lne,s and professional men in several o lthe Pacific States and Territories. These lgentlemen expect that Hon. NJ. w. Stew art of Camp Grant, will become equally Interested with themselves in the firm and MT. S. has a wide reputation for good business capacity and perfect trustworthl ness.

 a useful factor in promoting the true Tn liere-ts Of Tucson and all this section O , Arizona, we thought it worth while to cal lupOn the Manager and associates now IT the city, ard ascertain how far they were willing 10 acquaint us with the history O their organization for public use, and were Iadvised as follows:
