S''H'uS 4taI NlI make luCSOu's growth more than keep pace with the development uf the Territory. The mining towns and camps. almost with. out exception, are growing rapidly aud solidiv, and our city of course catches the impulse and feels the in. huence of the bonding growth ol trade. Our people are now gener- ally satisfied as To Tucson's future. and are making preparations to place their various iciuStries on plane to cor respond wih thcir expectations. All over the city may be seen signs of prosperity and growth, aEd more buildings will be erected during the comIng year than ever before ;n the history oi this city. Those now pro iectcd wifi not satisfy one-half of even the present demand.
 Affairs in the vicinity of the rail- way dePet are quite lively, and there seems 10 be an intention on tue part "f the company 10 continue their building operations until they have covered every available inch of space in sight with substantial structures. No sooner does one large blildins ap- proach completion than another Is projected-and starting with them is the signal for rapid and energetic work until their object is ac- conplished. Already the vicinity of ,he depot is a small city of itself, where five months ago there was noth- ! ing but mesa bris,l ng with me-quite, d race course for the swift footed liz ard Al the present time the em ploy es having their headquarters in [ Tucson must number well into the hundreds, and even when the improve meats now contemplated are com pleted, the corps of employees wlll be large enough 10 people fair-sized 1 village Very few Of the nachiuist- or car builders who are to be employ ed iu the shops have Yet arrived. but when they do, it is presumed that many of them will bring their fani. ] Hes, and meanwhile the problem of where tLcy are to be prov. led with suitable homes should be solved l. | ia hardly tVo much 10 prediCt that before two months shall have passed there will be 6 call for al least fifty additional houses near the depot. The heated term is about over, and this month will surely see the beginning of n heavy immigration, aside from the influx Of railroad people, and the question arises, What will we do with our citizens? There is scarcely an eligible dwelling house in town, and as ,on as one is vacant there are a dozen applicants for the premises. In addition to this, the large number o' families who annually emigrlte to other places to escape the heat of sun | mer months will be soon returning and they must also be provided for.
 The railroad people will be mos valuable acquisition to he city As q class they are invariably industrious sober. honest and intelligent, and are the very best of citizens. It therefore behooves our real estate people to make preparations for the reception of them and their families.
 | A CITIZEN reporter this morning paid a visit to the various department of the company's works in the vicinity of the depot, and was well repaid by the sicht of such busy activity as T.
 mos. curious change from th' olden time. In the new round house now completed aud being used, sumher of Hon. Tom Fitch's Diaci cavalry of commerce were b9ing cur ried and rubbed down until the' brass.bound sides shone again. Pass
 ing from the round-house to the ma chire shop the visitor found hImsei in T chaos of machinery, large an' small from which the workmen wer' enrrred in briugiug orderly arran@ mont Long lines of heavy lathe ; were being put in position, and tn necessary shafIing was strewn aroun in very wilderness of nuts an
 srrevs and the thousand and on
 ,I,inrs ot which no one but machlI ;st has any knowledge. The engih . which is 10 set al these wheels Tn mo ,ion was found in a separate bulldin
 northwest of the main shops. lh walls of this latter structure are no'
 going up and are being built ot son F Trick and stone work, with high WIT ] dows and iron sills, and the buiidin
 itself wlll be used for other purpose = than for the engine room. When Co"
 .I,,od ,be engine house will be one ,bo most substantial and hanusom
 buildings in the city.
