FROM TUCSON.
Spring Time Introductory to the Old
 Pueblo-Personal Ment on.

Tucson, Ariz., Feb. 21-(Special correspondence of The Republican.)- The run to this place from Phoenix was without special incident. Among the passengers was Mir. Hans Herlick, who was returning to San Diego. Mr. Herlick is doing well there, but has to come over occasionally to figure up the advance on his Phoenix holdings. ! The quartette of young experts, Chubb, Holmes, Aitken and Morin, were met here by the local club repre- sentatives and escorted to the San Xavier. Of the doings in bird shoot ing a special writer will inform the readers of The Republican. The ride at 2 a. m. from the depot to the hotel partook of a good deal of ter ritory and for the moment I feared that it was a case of cabby working me-" but no one was held up. Tha cabs here are ugly affairs; they call them black Marias, and fellow feels peculiar sensation Tn transit.
 i I found that old land mark, the Oc- i cidental, the same hospitable abode Of , the adobe pattern, and George Suth- erland, as of yore, a hotel man of the "up-to-date," cheerful kind. He has a penchant for The Republican; in l fact, newspaper men and commercial travellers, just like miners, are always welcome visitors to his abode. Oyer at the Orndor@, eA-T ToStmaster De- GTon IS omnipresent and you feel at home there. and so it is at the San Xavier, whether Captain Tevis is there | or not.
 ] I have spent Sunday taking my l bearings, yet in that time I have en- cOuntered a number of familiar faces. Among these were MT. John A. Riley and wife, who spent a month enjoy i ably at the Adams. They left this morning for Nogales. The last act of their lives-in Tucson-was to visit the old mission out of town. with a party of friends. As everybody l knows, Tucson itself is of the ancient order and four weeks stay has given the Rileys pretty good insight. They will also visit Wilcox.
 1 Charley Greenleaf, a former agent of l! Wells, Fargo & Co., at Phoenix, is now
 a full f1edged Tucsonian, and so it is with Pop Fitzpatrick, who has had i lots of contract work in the past
 twelve months. There are R. D. French and J. D. Moore of Prescott, both familiar figures on the plaza of i the Yavapai county seat. French
 goes to Nogaies and Bisbee; Money i and Moore will tarry several days longer. Steve Mercy, popular Santa Fe Pacific conductor, is here, but not employed. His wife is in San:a Bar bara, Cal. George Woods, a we'll known engineer of the same road. is on an engine between Fl Paso and
 Yuma. Both were in town yesterday
 Lester Jackson, the Prescott mining nnrf ic in aff T ~, stay at Phoenix. He is said to be looking up properties for Dan Gillette. MT. G. w Cole registers from the mountain city, and is next dcor to Mrs. Jackson. Arthur P. Noon placed
 his autograph and is down as a Phoe-
 nician. There are a host of Up coun-
 try folks here and they will be re-
 ferred to as find them
 I will have an opportunity to see the new opera house this evening when
 the Schuberts will appear. The best
 companies have appeared and others
 will follow this and next month.
 Real estate was moving lively yes
 terday, though it was Sunday. They
 say this is the season for zephyr.
 The weather has been fine otherwise.
 The Elks' entertainment on Friday
 was a royal affair. On this occasion
 the parquette of the opera house was
 cleared for dancing and the stage ar
 ranged for a banquet. During the
 early portion of the evening the unique
 details adopted at the entertainments
 were programmed, and not only mem
 bers were put through a trying ordeal.
 but the wives of several were given an
 opportunity of delivering a curtain
 lecture before the assembled guests.
 Fully 175 ladies and gentlemen at
 tended PITTOCK.
