New Buildings.

Building operations on the streets in the immediate vicinity of the depot grounds have received a wonderful impetus from the handsome resi- dences recently completed there. IL was not more than seven 2lonths sInce a person standing at the southeast corner of the public school building on Congress street and Sixth avenue would have nothing to obstruct a very clear. if not very interesting, vIew of the entire mesa east of Sixth avenue. save Judge Woods residence, the Ironw pod stables, and few cars grouped around the present site of the depot. Now the gaZer would have difficulty in seeing the mesa at all. It is evident that the quarter of the citv-bounded by Stone avenue, Pen nington and Simpson streets (and their extensions, respectively Ninth and Fifteenth slrcets). and the rail- way-will shortly be the residence part of the city Messrs. Williams, Tooie, Edwards, Otis, Mason, Wood, Salazar. Wiley and others have se- lected this section as the locality for their homes. Many other citizens own lots and ground in this Mob Hill n quarter and the erection of the fine buildings now going up will un- doubtedly make this the quarter oi the city.
 X CITIZEN reporter on Tuesday took stroll through this quarter, and noticed large number of new build ings in progress of erection, as well as many additions and improvements to the residences already built.
 R. G. Bulcombe is completing his large hotel on Eleventh street, near Fourth avenue It is to be j2X1G feet in size, and will contain s large rooms, the smallest of which will be IGx20 feet ana the largest 20x30 feet. This building will present a novel ap- pearance when finished, as, although the building proper will be only one story high the large court in the center will be two stOried, rising high m the centre of the building. and having
 vide projecting roof and piazza all around. Mir. Balcombe expects to have it finished in time for the first rush of overland travel. He also contemplates the early construction
 of very pretty little three-roOmed cottage in the same block for renting ing purposes.
 Ai iso in the same block and on the corner of Eleventh street and Fourth avenue, MT. James Strype is building a much-needed structure in that vicin- ltv. It consists of a TOW of small but neat and convenient tenement houses, having a frontage of 132 feet on Fourth avenue and II feet OR Eleventh street. There will large store in the corner of the building and the tene- ments will be ten in number, each having a front room 12Xl4 feet and a back room 12 feet square, with back yard and kitchen room. The whole building will be neatly fin sIhed. plaslered outside and inside, and the front ornameuted in very handsome style. Mir. Stripes enter prise is to be commended, and ccr- tainly will be rewarded, as he told the reporter that the tenements are already engaged at rental of Slj per month each.
 South of Military Plaza the two- story residence of VI. W. S. Edwards has nearly been completed, and it stands out bold and handsome against the mesa landscape beyond. It is Of modern style and finish, and yet in cludes all the comforts of the old
 adobe building.
 Facing on Military Plaza, between Judge Woods residence and NIT. J. | NJ. Mason's pretty cottage, the walls | of two fine residences are just rising from the ground. One is the proper
 tv of MT. B. Salazar, the assayer, some time since fully described n | these columns, and the other IS ! large live-TOOm house.
 Further up town the tall tower of
 MT. W. W. Williams large and Styl- | ish building rises high above the sur roundings. and is the first thing to attract the attention of strangers com | ing from the dcpoi. Ii IS not yet so
 completed, but is sufficiently so to in | dicate that it is to be the handsomcst building in the Territory.
 Still further up town, on Stone avenue, the new two-stOry building ! of NIT. W. O. Sullivan presents front, ! the modern appearance of which very much reminds the Californian ol the buildings of like class in the coast
 cities. It presents quite magnificent appearance among the low adobes which surround it.
 The above are but a tilhe of the new
 buildings being erected in thIs quarter, and the CITIZEN advises our people
 whose business does not often lead
 them to that portion of Tucson to
 take it in, and see what a meta
 morphosis q few short months have effected in this once sleepy old pueblo.
