Vantages Of Tucson,
Arizona.

the Southern part OF the Territory o.
Arizona, and on the edge of the Santa
Cruz Valley, lies the City of Tucson
That it was first settled several centur
les ago has little to do with what We
have to say here, but yet it's story full
of adventure and romance lends an in
describabie charm to the old town.
Evidences of Thrift.-Its antiquitie:
are, however. fast disappearing before
the march of progress. The adobe wall:
that formed the battlements of the ole
Mexican Pueblo have crumbled away
and the mission ruins are falling to
pieces. Prominent public buildings,
churches, stores and handsome modern
residences have been erected with beauti
full gardens, flowers and shrubbery sur
rounding many Of the latter. Old streets
have been graded, new oneslaid out, and
other improvements made which give a
thrifty appearance to the city.
Foreign Element.-Of IT'S population
however, consisting of about ten thou.
sasd people, large Mexican element re-
mains, and its presence gives foreign
air to the community as also do The
adobe buildings in which they mainly
dwell.
Touogra phy,--The location Of the city
ii 4 vast amphitheatre as IL were. sur.
rounded by beautiful mountains. and
rcst;ug under the canopy of the ioyeiest
az blue skies. Is beautiful. The splendid
roads IN the vicinity make driving and
birvclinp an esr,eciai pleasure. In every
direction charming mountain views
greet the eye, and at the sunset hous
gorgeous and respondent coiors cove.
the western sky. the departing of the
sun casting shadows. upon the tops o.
the mountains which fairly enchant one.

selected library.
