opportunities in the observation and

have visited the resorts of Florida,
Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Califor-

have devoted to active practice in two oi
the most frequent resorts of colorado
and one wear in this city.
Tucson in my Judgment, possesses
advantages over all the resorts OF ,nv ac-
qualntance else should not be here. !
