Chittenden, the in defatigable and enthusiastic explorer, ethnologist and archaeologist, reached Tucson Friday, and although wearied by four days forced travelling in order to reach water, proceeded without stopping to the rare old mission church of San Xavier.

Speaking of the cattle indus try of Arizona he states the T. & P. handled nearly half Of the cattle ship ments east from the territory the past year and from indications pre- diets larger shipments this year than during any previous time, the high prevailing prices being a tempting in ducement for cattlemen to sell and their stock will be rushed forward to eastern markets and pastures. Inci- dentally he finds Cochise county the banner cattle shipping county of the territory and estimates that about 75,000 head will be shipped from here the coming season. Nearly 50,OO0 head will be shipped from Wilcox, San Simon and Benson and over 25,- 900 head will go from Bisbee.
