Tnc.on the Coming City.

Tucson has a population in round numbers of about 2,000 more than Denver had ten year ago, and the latter city now has 34,000 inhabitants. This rapid growth of Denver is but an indication Of what we may expect Tucson to be ten years hence.
 Denver never possessed the advant- ages that Tucson possesses for inc building of large and permanent in land city. The mines of Colorado pre- vious to the discovery of Leadville, did not begin to compare with the mines already discovered in Arizona. 1h, agricultural resources of Colorado are not one whit better than those of our own Territory, while the grazing lands, owing td their long cold winters, do not begin to compare with the grazing lands of Arizona, where we have no cold weather, and do not have to feed stock during the winter season. But they have live go-ahead people in Denver. They leave nothing un- done that will conduce to the pros perity oftheir town. They have just completed a grand hotel in that town -the Windsor-at a cost of over S2O0,- GOO, which with the exception of the Baldwin and the Palace, surpssses any of the hotels Tn San Francisco. The future outlook for Tucson is even better than that of Denver. but We must no, depend on the town building itself; our people must all joln in, and Tn building up Tucson remember you are building up yourselves. Money ju- dlciUusly expended in real estate and building in Tucson, will return one hundred per cent. on the invstment.

The residences of E. R. Pomrov and M. T. Brown, on Main street, are rap idly approaching completion.
 A. D. Otis has his two-stcry house, on Pennington street, about ready to move into.
 Mr. Speedy's residence, on Meyers street, is about completed.
 Mir. Chas. Tully, Of La Sonora, has his large two-stury house on Church plaza enclosed, and it will soon be ready to move into.
 Major Toole has added largely to his residence on Stone avenue, and we understand that he contemplates build ing another large house in that vicin- ity soon.
 Mr. sullivan has materially i'm proved his block on Stone avenue lately, and many other important im- provcments arc being made through out ihe city.
 To the casual observer there does not seem to be any great amount of building going on, vet all of our con. factors seem to be very busy. A number of our citizens contemplate building houses. but are afraid 10 start on them until after the rainy season is over. A large proportion of the work now be ing done is in the shape Of repairs, wood floors are being laid Tn our old adobe houses, and doors and windows changed to comply with the modern idea of architecture. Even eur Mexi- ban citizens are beginning to adopt the modern idea, and ere long the " dirt floor will be thing of the past.

Canyon del Orc

We are indebted to Chas. Labaree for the following items from Canyon del Gro:
 The Lime Point group Of mines, con sisting of five mines, have been pros pcc,ed to a limited extent, and are showing up some very fine ore.
 The Julia, owned by Ven Haslocker, has a shaft down some 20 feet, in which some very rich ore has been struck. Work continues on this mine, and it's owner has faith in the future.
 OWL HEAD DISTRICT.
 From the same authority we also learn that group of thirteen mines in the Owl Head District have recent ly been bonded to California and East ern parties for S25,0O0, one thousand of which was paid down. But little work has been done on this group Of mines, though assays from them have gone from $2OO to $500 per ton.
 The Walker Brothers have about 30 tons of ore ready for shipment from the Jesse Benton mine, which will mill $500 to the ton. This mine has q 50-fooL shaft and looks remarkably well.
 The Vie Chance in this district, also makes a good showing, A l0-foot shaft exposes q six-foot ledge, some of the ore of which is very rich.
 Mr. l. predicts bright future for the Owl Head, as tho parties who are interested there mean business from the word go. We trust it may become all they hope for It.

Death ,r the Rev. W. H. Dean.

Death VT lnc AsCN~ AIs DCHAis
 To-day st Q o'clock 8. m. the Rev. William H. Dean breathed his last. NIT. Dean at the time of his death was filling the position of pastor of the Presbyterisn Church in this city, and was revered and admired, irrespective of church ties, by all who enjoyed the privilege of his acquaintance.
 Those who knew him recognized in him the finest qualities of manhood and the most winning virtues of Chris tianity His nature was cast in no common mould. As pulpit orator he would have attracted attention any where, and that attention would have become fixed and increased by the ihnroughness of his scholarship, the acuicness of his disciplined intellect, and the fraternal feeling that warmed his heart toward his fellow men.
 NIT. Dean came to this place some thing over three months ago, taking charge of the Presbyterian Church of Tucson, and applying himself with untiring assiduity to its interests. The rapid progress made by him in build ing up his church and conducting it's affairs, and the golden opinions he won for himself on all sides, testify in how masterly a manner he did his work.
 MT. Dean's sickness was something between thIee and four weeks in du- ration.
 His recovery from typhoid fever was nearly accomplished, when an abscess formed in the head, and, pene- trating the brain, caused his death, his vital powers being weakened by the fever too greatly to enable him to resist this second complication.
 His medical attendants were of the ablest, and his friends took every measure in their power to minister te his wants. The members of his con grecation were especially devoted to him during his sickness.
 The deceased was 42 years of age He leaves family consisting of wife and daughter, residing in Brooklyn, Cal To them, all extend profouhdest sympathy, and we condole with this community over the death of a noble gentleman whose loss is irreparable. His fate is but the common lot of all. 1 For men must work and women mTst
 weep, And the sooner ifs over the sooner to sleep"
 WE are informed that the Mac Morris estate must go through a second administration in order to com ply with the law of the State of Cslifor mia, some ofthe property of which hap l pcned to be in that State.

Is IT n Nuisance .


 IL has long been 6 custom for the washerwOmcn of Tucson to occupy the shady places along the acequia to do their washing for the week, and many of them may be found st their accustomed place nearly every day in the week. And now the China wash houses send their men out to the ace quia, where they while away their time in beating the buttons of of shirts and tearing garments to shreds. The number now employed daily along these little rivulets will not fall far short of two hundred, and the water has become so foul with soap and filth as ta cause stench to arise which is anything but pleasant. The question very naturally arises whether this thing of using the acequias as q great family wash.tub has not been carried little too far. and whether it has not already become nuisance. We hear good many complaints of the stench arising from the acequiss. This might all be changed if wash tubs were used and the studs were thrown on the ground, but it will hardly be done unless the authorities order ii.

LONG before the completion of the railroad to this place freighters began to bemoan their situation, and ex- pressed their fears as to their future prospects. They with many others thought the railroad would do away with freighting, or at least so cripple it that the business would not be worth following. Contrary to the eXpecta- tions of almost ever one. the freight ing business has been improved instead of impaired, by the advent of the rail
