of the Southern Pacific X. R., says

Railway, altitude 400 feet above the
sea level. Tucson is one of the oldest
settlements made by the Spanish cou-
querors. 1t is now the commercial and
railroad center of Southern Arizona. The

the humidity being exceedingly low; the
yearly minimum and maximum being
26o and $50 respectively. The rainfall
is small and but little irrigation is car
ried on. The water supply Is excellent.
