Taking the opinions of several con-
| tractors on the subject, and boiling
down the same, it is pretty safe to
make the announcement that during
the year ending March, 1899, there has
been expended in-this city on improve
ments, some not quite, but nearly COM
pleted, $3.50, 900. This would include
furnishings in few instances.-Tuc-

The Territorial Museum at the uni

boar with enormous tusks in both the
upper and lower jaws and SO disposed

descendent of esirsyed domestic
| stock. The specimen was purchased
from ihe Indians and forwarded from
Yuma by MIR. Herbert Brown.-Tucson

report says that an excellent variety of

tractor Loyell saw it he wondered that
any stone should have been imported
into the Salt River valley from Cali

blocks nearly eight feet along each

Most of tie new spspers of the terrific
ry and all the leading papers of both
parties are opposed to the six months
voter proposition. The bill, though it
has passed both houses of the legisla-
