From Sacaton to MaricOpa we
have a stretch Of % miles, the
latter half of which is through
small cations; or. more properly
deep gullies. There is a clayey,

about fifteen miles, and the roads

This drive is in the heart Of

TUCSON TO MARICOPA.


For a stage ride through wha
is known as adesert country, bar
ring the cheap conveyances gen.
orally known as jerkeys and buck
J boards, | know of none more de-
lightful than that from TuSOn tC
Maricopa Wells. The distance
: from Tucson to Maricopa, via
Florence, is about 10 miles, more
or less. This whole distance is
almost as level as a floor, with
the exception Of a little rolling
country ten or twelve miles 0ut
Of Tucson, and some low, uneven
country between Maricopa and
the Pima villages.
The first few miles from Tucson
is made up Of vegetable gardens
and hay ranches along the Santa
Cruz river, say for about six Or
seven miles. At a distance of
about nine miles there is dairy
ranch, where the dusty traveller
may regale himself upon as clear
a cup of water as eyer came out
of well, Or he may quaff as deli
ciOus buttermilk as ever came out
of a churn, both of which are free
ly given to all travellers. The
buttermilk is kept in an adobe,
which is shaded by great, tall
sycamores, and upon the door is a
a real latch-string, which is al
ways kept on the outside. All
travellers to and from Tucson over
this road know the place well. 1t
is one of the great treats Of a trip,
especially going eastward in the
m0ru'E, with I'd So scattering

+ The next place Of interest COM
ing this way is called tha Point of
Mountain. 1t was from behind
small tree near TINS point tDat
BrazletOn rushed out, alone, Upon
three occasions, and c00lly went
through as many stages and their
passengers. The incidents con-
nected with Brazleton's third and
last exploit are interesting. Ar
thur Hill, who chad been there"
before, was the driver, and man
named Miller occupied an out
side seat. AS the coach neared
the point of Mountain, Miller re-
queSted Hill to show him just the
place where the team was step
ped on July 3lSt. The driver re-
piled: "It is only little distance
from here. l never shall forget I
the spot, I tell you" In few
moments after they reached the.
place of the former robbery, and
Hill said: "There, the robber
was hid right behind that tuSh,"
pointing at the tree, "and, by
there he is again!" shouted Hill,
i'll the same breath, as the same
masked rObber sprang from be-
hind the same tree, and catching
hold of the bride of the off horse
with one hand and displaying
Colts revolver in the other, ejacu-
lated: " Yes, here l am again!
Ihrowup your hands, all of you!"
Then BraZeltOn ordered Miller
and an inside passenger to dis
gorge, and subsequently demand

only the events which have come
under my observation, there are
scores of similar ones. Al
this day, even, it is better for a
man not to travel alone through
this section of country.
Twenty odd miles further,
over a road much the same as
the other forty odd miles, and
the tourist arrives at Florence,
which has been fully described
in a former letter. This is a
thriving place. and is the busi-
ness centre for the Silver King,
Picket Post, Stonewall and ether
rich mining districts. Florence
and vicinity is also an agricul-
tural section, receiving its water
through irrigating canals from
the ella river, which is but a
short distance aWaV-
The soil is very rich in this
section, and all kinds Of grain can
be produced. Florence is some
twelve or more miles away from
the railroad line of survey, which
goes to the south near the old
Butterfield road from Yuma to
Tucson. Near Florence is an
abandoned (modern) town. 1t
came into existence a short time
after Arizona came under Terri
torial authority, and was first
called Adamsville, after &" Steam

was led Sanford, In honor OF

of the country is also dotted with

of cacti.
There is q delightful trot of
twenty-eight miles along the
Gila, directly west. On the right
of the road is a succession Of
ranches and farms, and the SER
pentine course of the river can
be traced for a great distance,
fringed as it is with cottonwood,
willow, and other evergreens.
Hay, alfalfa, corn, and small
grains are raised along the stream
with entire success. Wheat al
