Territorial News.
 Tucson Star: The walls of the uni versity dormitory have been complet- ed. The excellent quality of the stone used in the construction becomes more apparent as the building hears comple- tion. Professor Blake has given it careful examination and says it is the best, most durable and ornamental building stone he has ever seen. At a distance it resembles gray marble. See ing that the supply is practically un- limited and so convenient there is no reason why the new Tucson should not be city of stone The archway of the main entrance of the dormitory is a very ornate affair of native marble.
 Tombstone Prospector: The result of the special city election yesterday was an unqualified Democratic vic tory. In the First ward Judge J. F. Duncan was declared elected, while in the famous Third Geo. Rafferty car ried off the honors with becoming dig nity. Distinction and glory is heaped upon him from the fact that when George takes his seat in the counsil chamber on the 21st he will have at tained the eminent calling of being the youngest council member thus far elected in historic old Tombstone. The political complexion of the council now stands solidly Democratic.
 Tempe News: Last night when Dr. Hart crossed the river on his return from Phoenix where he had been at tending the A. o. U. w. installation, he met several men who said they wanted a doctor to examine two men who had faEen off the railroad bridge The entire party were tramps and the doctor found that the two who had fallen from the bridge were in an in- toxicated condition at the time of the accident One of the men had struck on his face and was badly cut and bruised. The other was Hound to have sustained the fracture of a rib and a number of bruises on the body. The doctor did what he could for them and this morning they were both able to wilk about their camp.

 Tucson Citizen: The project is be- ing agitated of building street rail road from town to the university. It is proposed to start on Congress street at the postofflce, proceed thence along Congress to Sixth avenue, along the latter thoroughfare to the street lead ing to the Indian school, and thence to the Indian school and university. Such a line would be a great accom- modation.
 Tucson Citizen: In conversation with a gentleman recently in business III LOo IAllSOlOo, DuL AOW d l OSiuCuI Ol Tucson, The Citizen learns that the business men of Tucson are generally in much better financial condition than the California boom city. The gentleman quoted, who is in condi- tion to know whereof he speaks, says the opposition in business is so keen that business houses having $30,O0O to $40,O00 invested are glad if at the end of the month it can be shown that ex- penses have been made. Another point is that the merchants of Tucson do not have to apply to the banks for accommodation On the contrary, the majority of them carry deposits in our local banks. This is gratifying, show ing that the business interests of our city are on solid foundation, that our people, as rule, are free from the in cumbrances of mortgages, that the city is not in need of fictitious boom meth ods to keep afoat, and that old Tucson is marching steadily forward on the safe and permanent road of sound com mercial conservatism
 Tucson Citizen: A mining man of long experience informs The Citizen that the Orc Blanco mining district will prove ftseif to be the biggest in the southwest. He says he recently examined one mine there which would bring one million dollars if situated in Colorado.
 Tucson Citizen: It may sound strange, but it is fact, that the larger portion of the freighting, between Tue son and Nogales is done by team. The railroad charges are so high that mer- chants prefer the slower, but cheaper, method of transportation.
