zona cattlemen are buying large mum
bers OF Sonora cattle and will put then
on ranges in this territory. Sonor,
stock is cheap and can be bought a

but the cattle are small, being known a
"aIs hoofs and horns" The stock ther.
Is inbred, receiving generally about a
much care as the Indians devote I.
their animals. The Republican saw,

Mining men are now looking toward
Tombstone, where preparations are said
to be in progress for the opening ur
of some OF the old silver producing mines
OF that camp. While no active work il
being prosecuted just now, yet there are
grounds upon which the Tombstone peo.
pie feel safe in predicting great things
for the future. There are now about
500 people in Tombstone, and during
the operation OF the mines there were
about 1900 there, and the camp was
the livliest in the southwest.
In speaking OF the Greene Consol idat-
ed company business now being done
through Naco, representative of the
Greene company told the Prospector re-
porter that business in all lines with
them was away above their expecta-
tions, and that they are crowded to their
utmost capacity right now, and nothing
is more badly needed than proper trans
portation facilities to and from the
mines. Just at the present moment
they have lS2 carloads OF merchandise

solomon and A. +. Van Armin have re-
turned to Arizona from Honolulu, where

Is no place for a poor man. Sugar is king
there, and while fortunes are being made
in that industry it takes a small fortune
to conduct a plantation. He says 8
high as fourteen tons OF sugar are
raised on one acre in a single season.

Monday evening the Tucson Grays
met and reorganized. Edward Buehring
was chosen manager and G.. NJ. Burk-
halter will attend to the financial part.
Armstrong who is one OF the best pitch
ers in the territory will captain the team.
The coming season looks like hummer
from the distance. Tucson was not a
first Class ball town last year although
the team put up as coed an article as
could be found in the territory. Com
munication with the teams of other
towns has been opened with view to
securing series OF games and forming a
permanent league. The fans OF Tucson
ought to back such a movement.
A fine house greeted the Andrews
Opera Co. upon their first appearance in
Tucson. The opera of Martha is 30 we ]
known and is so universally admired
that it invariably excites favorable COM
ment if presented in a creditable man
ner. The audience last night testified
their appreciation by frequent encor, g
and generous bursts of applause. The
last Rose of Summer" was exqusitely
rendered by the prima dona, and the
"Lionel' OF Mr.. Taylor was presenta-
tion which excited the warmest praise.
The "Plunket" of Mr.. Stevens was an
performance, and his rich
barytone notes lost none of their power
and sweetness even when blended with
the swelling chorus Of the entire COM
pany. Mrs. Andrews Clayton is fine
az well as a splendid actress.
The character of Nancy" was portrayed
in most exquisite manner. The chorus
and orchestra were up to the standard
Of travelling companies generally, and
the whole performance was well re-
ceived and elicted the most generous
encomiums. Tonight Carmen will
be produced with full caste.
