Tucson is full of tramps; the streets
are literally swarmng with them.
Evidently they seek our genial climate
at this season of the year to escape the
regions of the north, and the city owes
1t to herself to see that all the public
improvements are pushed forward dur
ing their soiourn in our city. 1t might
be possible to build cur hotel with their
labor. They can be used to extend our
streets through our brush suburbs. 1t
would be a good idea for a large sewer
TO be constructed while they are honor
ing us by their presence. They would
make good excavatoEs and the sewer
work should 60 forward at once.

ally undeTsloped, IL fact tie discoveries
being made constantly, show conclusive
ly that the hills have not been half pros
pected yet. In Colorado, such miner
al country as We have surrounding US
would be swarming with prospectors
and discoveries would be the result; but
here we seem to have too big a showing
to excite the average prospector, who
feels that he can start at moments no.
tice at any time, and locate something
good. Our own people have shown
total lack of appreciation OF the valu
able deposits IN our hills. and they will
only wake up to a realization of our
possibilities when outside mining men
come in here and usurp to themselves.
what, for SO longa period has been idle.
Away back in the sixties, when mines
had to be worked at terrible disadvan-
tage, when labor and supplies were at
the top notch, and when man had to
take his life in his hands to prospect
or 20 mine, the rich mineral hills On
both sides of the Santa Cruz valley were
prospected, and mines worked at large
profit. On account of Indian depredat-
ions, the work in many instances had TO
be abandoned, and the properties were
shut down when the prospects were ex-
celient, and IN fact when they we're pay
ing. These same properties have never
been given a show since, and this neglect
is criminal when We consider the many
advantages today over the years of long
ago. 1t is safe TO say that there is no
other country in the United States where
such blindness to cur own interests
could occur. No other country where
men would idle away time that could be
so profitably spent, and no other country
where men would allow such chances
to pass by when they have the whole
field to themselves. Some day our pros
pectors Will wake up. and with slghs and
regrets see the field occupied by miners
from other states, and mourn for the
lost opportunities.

TUCSON.

We were, in Tucson two days last
week. The city shows many signs of
growth and improvement, and new
houses have been erected by the score
during the past years, and all of them
have been on a more substantial kind
than formerly were built there rs rule.
The adobe has been discarded and
brick substituted in nearly all the new
buildings. The business men are con
fident and hopeful of the continued
prosperity of the old pueblo, and while
the trade at the present time is rather
light and little discouraging, Still the
causes for it are temporary and will
soon pass away.
Tucson, as a commercial city, certain
y has not now what might be called a
rival in southern Arizona, ar Its trade
extends to every town, camp and ranch.
The merchants there carry the largest
stock of goods in the southwest, and
having advantages in freight rates, are
able to sell at lower prices than those at
other points. This fact is understood
by outside merchants and Tucson has
become large jobbing center. It's bus
mess men are solid and what they are
short in flash and buster is more than
made good By the balance TO their bunk
account being On the credit side.
A great many people are now tempor~
arily in Tucson for their health, coming
from the eastern states to enjoy the
splendid winter climate of Arizona. Tue
SOD would have more Of these health
seekers and others who prefer II eperd
their winters in a mild climate, il it had
more aotel facilities, and if the sanltar
ium hotel is ever completed on Military
plaza, as planned, it will no douot b.
fill of guests for at least five months in
the year. Tucson hss every advantage
in the way Of schools for.people VII
might desire to bring their families
there during the winter months. The
public school is as good as any to be
found east or west; besides here is locat.
ed the territorial university, just op ened
and with every facility for teaching the
higher branches Of education.
Tucson is growing and new evidences
Of a progressive and enterprising spirit
are to be encountered there almost
daily.-Rulletin.

EARN personal friends, who were bound
TO vote for him on account of friendship,
whether or no. The peoples ticket
was great draw back to the republicans,
and affected the entire republican ticket,
1t was found early in the morning that
Coenens candidacy demoralized straight
line, aggressive. party work, and the
workers in the party yesterday had to
contend against difficulties. The demo-
Gratis were not affected 20 any visible
extent by the peoples ticket $50 called. }
The ticket did not have ghost of a
show from the start, and the only vote
it attracted WAS on account Of the pop
ularity of MIR. Coenen. How repub-
licans can justify their acts in ignoring
the action of their party when good
ticket is put in the field we cannot see.
Malice, jealousy, and petit meanness
bring about such acts. The persns
who 60 back on their party on election
day seem to think the oney one affected
is the candidate they turn their back
on. This is not the case. There are a
certain mum Der of men, who, year after
year, on election day fight the opposit-
ION party, spending their time and
money to achieve success for their party,
and they get their reward, and have their
work doubled bya class Of soscalled res
publicans whose acts on election day
are calculated to demoralize party lines,
and bring about defeat.
This class of republicans never work
on election day or they would appreci-
ate the unfairness Of the harm they
work On their associates, who bear the
brunt of the burden and struggle for su.
premacy. The constant repetition OF
this thing cannot be too severely criti-
cised, and men who follow such prac
tees should come out squarely and ar
ray themselves against the party they
are only an encumbrance tc.
The recordership was splendidly won
Dy the repuOIlcdns.
Mr.. Perrin made gallant fight, and
his party is deeply indebted to him for
accepting the candidacy for marshal.
The same class of republicans that sent
Mr.. Reid to the wall performed like
operation for Mr. Perrin and the repub-
lIcan party. They are always lurking
in the background to :pick off the NOM
inees of the republican party. and it is
true that the class OF work they do is
very effective.
If party ever owed an election to a
man in Tucson the party owed to MIR.
Perrin the election of marshal, under
the circumstances, and the fact that MIR.
Perrin was defeated has not lessened the
large number of friends he has made,
who will see that he is adequately re-
warded in the future.
The democrats made a very credit
able political fight under the leader
ship of Mr.. Chas Hoff. The success
of part OF their ticket was due to good
management and recalcitrant repub

OUR MINES.

The hills are full Of miners now work
ing assessment work. Would it not be
a very valuable idea for some OF them
to keep on working in order that some
development work may be done? Many
of the properties lying idle, would up
doubtedly show up big if the owners
would open them up.
Development when satisfactory, would
have two great advantages; one would
be that the owners could sell their prop
critics when they were not in shape to
work them, as they could show them up
to advantage; the other advantage would
be that where mine is developing we'll
the owners hate to stop work, when
they can possibly keep going, and the

THE front wall of the San Xavier
mission church was carefully examined
she other day by gentleman of expe-
Eienee in such matters, and it was found
to be in acondition bordering on danger
Unless some plaster and stones are
placed in the foundation of the front
wall soon, Tucson will not have any
mission to show the strangers. Fifty
dollars expended now In protecting what
is left of the foundation will save the
church. but If left alone little longer,
this grand old edifice will be ruin.
TuescnItes don't seem to appreciate the
value of this mission, but when it is too
late they will regret they have not adj
vocated IFS repair, and urged that some
of the dollars received for admission be
spent in repairing the foundation OF the
front wall. The charge for admission is
fifty cents. which is exorbitant, and it
does seem that such paying institution
deserves protection.
