 The University of Ariza N ithsits ad- Juncts IS fast growing to be a{f institution of more than ordinary importance. The law providing for the election and main tenance of the institution Of learning. contemplates the establishment of five branches of education, but owing to the great and growing importance of mining in Arizona, the board of regents conciud ed to first erect and confine the limited resources to a school of mines. and to that end are pushing the work of estab- hshment of this one branch.
 The building IS located on an elevated piece of land within one mile of the bllsi- ness portion of Tucson.
 THE SITE
 Is an excellent one, commanding Q beau tful view of the valley of the Santa Cruz, the city of Tucson and the magnificent mountain ranges that surround her. Ow- ing to the confusion among the several boards of supervisors of the different counties last year us to their duty in making tax levy of three-ouarters of mill. the board was seriously handicapped for means, and could not push to com pletlon this magnificent building. thus delaying the opening of the school. There has been expended on this building of territorial funds nearly $30,0O0 and it will take about S8,000 more to complete 1t. The two west rooms have been con- pleted by funds furnished by the govern ment. By an act of Congress passed in 1862 and amended in 1886, each state and territory in the fulfillment of certain re- quirements is allowed
 S15.000 PER ANNuA
 For the establishment and maintenance Of experimental agricultural stations, un- der the general supervision of the Secre- tary of Agriculture. Energetic efforts were instituted on Gov Wolfiey's advent as Governor. looking to the securing of this amount for Arizona. and the efforts were crowned with success. and for the year ending June 30, 1890 the board of regents received $10,000, this amount being their proportion of an amount included il1 deficiency bill for the relief of Arizona. Utah and New Mexico. The amount for this fiscal year will be S15.OO0. The board were so fortunate as to secure the services of F. A. Gulley, 8 graduate of the agricultural college of Michigan. as director of experimental stations and pro- lessor of agriculture, and immediate steps were taken lo0K1ng to the establishment of stations, that the various conditions and locations could have the benefit of these experiments. One has been located at Tucson, one at Phenix, one at Tempe and Biaisdell's place near Yuma. The one at Tucson will be principally in con- ducting experiments with shrubs, trees and ornamental plants, forage and other grasses.
 THE ONE 1T PHENIx
 Consisting of 40 acres within 6 mile Of the city. will be used in experimenting with citrus and deciduous trees, the growing and curing of forage grasses, ir- Tigation and other eyDerirner,ts that wss. be of great value to the Salt river valley. Those at Tempe and Biaisdells will be fruit and grape culture, and much hopes are entertained by the board of ultimate success of the orange, lemon and lime ex- periments at those three stations. The experiments which have been carried on during the past three years by MT. Blais- dell will be carried on by the board. thus having an excellent start
