The Baltimore Sun contains an inter-
esting article descriptive of Tucson and
other Arizona cities which was written
by newspaper man who recently vis-
tied this city. 1t ia an entertaining ar
ticle, and is one OF the most truthful
that We have seen. 1t shows that the
charm OF the ancient pueblo and its peo-
pie took firm hold upon the writer,
and the article furnishes an excellent
illustration of how far eastern visitor
is impressed when he comes here. The
writer says:
Tucson is a quaint old town, with
about {, 600 persons, half Of them Mexi-
cans, and number of Indians live in
their wickiups out on the mesa. The
old San Xavier Mission is about nine
miles from town, and there the Papago
Indians are taught. There is also an
Indian school at the edge OF town con-
Quoted by the Presbyterian church. The
school system here is excellent and the
University OF Arizona has among its fac
ulty some OF the ablest professors OF the
East. A $25, GOO Carnegie monument is
nearing completion on the plaza, which
will take the place OF the present public
library. To the north OF Tucson are the
Santa Catalina mountains, 10000 feet
high; to the east and south rise the
Rineon, and to the west are the Tucson
mountains. The Santa Catalinas looked
so close that thought I'd walk out to
them, but the distance is about fourteen
miles, 30 changed my mind. There are
many modern residences and business
blocks here, but most Of the houses are
of adobe, and while the exterior is unin
yiting the interior OF some OF them Ii
furnished in manner which would sur
prise our friends back home.
The Santa Cruz river runs about
mile west OF town and along its bank

The Senator Says it is the Richest
in the World. An Important
Sale Of Land was Made to kr.
Greene Embracing 800, 900 Acres
all Told.

A distinguished party of Californians
are at the San Xavier hotel today. They
are Senator George c. Perkins OF San
Francisco, II. /. Drew of San Bernardo
no, and Louis II. Sharp OF San Francis
co. Mr.. Drew represents the California
and Mexico cattle company and Mr..
Sharp is prominent attorney of San
Francisco who is interested in the cattle
company's possessions together with
Senator Perkins and Mr.. Drew.
They went to Mexico to complet the
arrangements OF one of the largest real
estate transfers over made in Sonora. The
purchaser is W. G. Greene of the La
Cananea camp, and the land sold en-
braces 100000 acres of timber and range
land. The La Cananea camp and all Of
the claims of the. company are located
upon this land. Heretofore Mr.. Greene
has purchased from the company the
timber used in the mine, but having
placed the bigscamp upon substantial
basis with lao further danger OF con-
| troversy as to the possession of the
claims, Mr.. Greene decided to purchase
the land outright and the sale was made
in Mexico few days ago.
Mr.. Greene arrived in Tucson this
morning with the party and will leave
tonight for New York. Acquiring this
great tract of land gives Mr.. Greene an
immense domain, which is almost an
empire in its immensity. Some time
ago large Spanish grant which lies in
Cochise and Santa Cruz counties came
into the possession OF Mr.. Greene. and
| the ranches which are located between
the Spanish grant and the new posses
sions are being bought up 50 as to make
the 'empire" intact. Besides bis great
mining interests, Mr.. Greene will enter
extensively into the cattle business.

Chamberlain Plays High

LONDON, April 25--Serious dissension
has arisen, it is said, in the British
cabinet over the budget. Chamberlain's
plans to raise the war revenue at the
expense ol the South African colonies is
opposed by Sir Michael Hicks-Reach
who offered TO resign. Chamberlain
favored the acceptance, but Salisbury
and Balfour opposed it. The resigna-
ton OF the entire ministry is now talked
OF which the colonial secretary isyors as
a means OF getting rid Of Sir Michael
and at the same time discomtitting the
Opposition, which it is thought, would
not attempt to form a ministry under

look over the field for himself and he'll
have no trouble about finding gilt-edged
security. The reason is that all the
money here is working, and there are le-
gitimate opportunities for lots more Of
it. To one who has no capital except
health it is good country, for wages
are high and labor, especially in the
mines, is in demand. To those who
have lung trouble it is good place to
come, provided they are not too far on
the road. The climate is bracing, but
it will not grow new lung, though
there are those who came here years ago
with one lung and still have it.
II some OF our folks back home, instead

Description ofthe City of Tucsonby an Outsider

dral and the old one Ii nov the San
Augustine hotel. The interior OF the
old church is turned into a huge dining
room, and where the altar boys once
swung their censers and the priest per-
formed bis rites we put our feet under
the table, while the walters swung the
dishes and recited the menu. Old
fashioned iron candela bra, their sockets
holding lighted but unblessed candles,
gave to the scene a weirdness which
made one think OF things spiritual, but
the dinner ON the table was q pleasant
reality, and as there had been many
graces said before meat on the spot we
turned to without qualm Of conscience,
though things did seem a little out of
place.
There is one policeman in Tucson and
he is suffering from ennui, having only
made one arrest in two weeks-a drunk
en- negro. There are few negroes in Tue
son, and in some towns in Texas they
are not allowed to remain. If one drifts
in they give him three or four days to
get out, and il he doesn t 60 he is polite
ly requested to do so. A polite request
of this sort in this country is always
complied with. Vice is wisely regulated
here, for the people say it is folly to try
to suppress il. The social evil is licen
sed, as are the gambling houses, and nj
Magdalens are allowed on the streets
A lady here is safer from insult on tn,
streets, night or day, than she is in Bal

thorities in the mining world of the day.
The syndicate was represented here by
Mr.. Hecksher of London, England, who
came over from the other side for the
express pupose of looking into the mat
ter and acting for his principals. Mr..
Pitcairn, who is the mining expert of
the great Tassos copper mine OF Spain,
came over with Mr.. Hecksher and ex-
amined the property in connection with
Mr.. Parish.
There is an interesting story connect
cd with Mr.. Pitcairn and the Clifton
Morenci copper belt. He was called
upon over twenty years ago to report on
the property now owned by the Arizona
Copper company of Clifton. This COM
pany is composed of English and Scotch
stockholders and Mr.. Pitcairn was en-
ployed by them to examine into the
property and report. He reported IA
vorably and the property was purchased.
For over twenty years his opinion has
been verified by the great production Of
copper ore that has come from that
mine, and it is still great producer.
Those people who are thoroughly &C.
quainted with the conditions surround.
ing Clifton do not hesitate to say that
this section will become one of the great
copper camps in the world.

Sold the Properties is |. 1. Dun
ham. The Properties will be
Opened to the Fullest.

An important mining deal has been
consnmated in the Clifton district in the
eastern portion of Arizona. The deal
will no doubt mean the opening up OF
another large producing camp.
The deal involves the transfer OF 40
full claims, each the regulation size of
1900 by GOO feet, right in the heart Of the
rich copper belt. Over $500, 900 is the
price paid by the syndicate for thisprop-
erty and there is unlimited money back
Of it for development purposes. The
name OF the new company that will de-
veIop this property and probably make
it one of the biggest copper producing
mines in the country, is the Clifton-Ari-
zona Copper company, Limited. Com
paratively speaking but little develop
ment work has been done on the prop
erty so far, but 1t has been sufficient to
demonstrate the presence OF copper ore
bodies in large bodies running through
the entire property bought by the syn
dicate, A general assay OF many samples
give values from per cent up to 36 per
cent copper.
"a. Dunham who sold the property
TO the syndicate has retained his inter

pany as its general manager and super
intendent With plenty of money back

the property to its fullest capacity. A
