Dr. A, I. Jones, of Tucson. said.--"The
past seven years have afforded me large
opportunities Ill the observation and

monary tuberculosis. Within that time

texas, New Mexico, Colorado. Califor-
ma and Arizona Five wears of that |

the most frequent resorts of Colorado
and one wear in this CITY.

advantages over all the resorts of r,v ac-

Hon Whitelaw Reid in his journal. he
New York Tribune o.! Arizona in Vim
ter, among othet .. s says:--"During
five months resid southern Ariz-
ona in winter the, Sas but one day
when the weather made il actually un.
pleasant for me to take exercise in the
open air at some time or other during
the day. Ofcourse there were a good
many days which a weather observer
woul6 describe as cloudy, ana some
that were 'showery;' but during the FIVE
months from November, 1895 to May,
| 1866 there were only four days when
we did not have brilliant sunshine nj
/ some time during the dav. Even more
| than Egyp:, anywhere north Of Luxor.
! Arizona is the land OF the sunshine.
THE lights throughout the winter are
apt to be cool enough for wood nres
and blankets. Half the time an over
coat is not needed during the day, but it
| is never prudent for stranger to be
without one AZ hand.
The atmosphere is singularly clear,
touic and dry. | have never seen IT
clearer anv where in the world. IL seems
| to have about the same braciug and ex
hiiarating qualities as the air OF this
great Sahara in northern Africa or o
the desert about Mount Sinai. IN Arabia
Patraea It is much drier than any par
of the valley of the Nile north OF Gatar
act. II seems to me about the same II
quality as the air on the Nile betweer
Assouan and Wady Halfa, but some
) what cooler.
"As 10 food. there is plenty, and it II
good. From here the markets OF Lo
Angeles, and even of d. nsei are largel,
supplied. Good beef, mutton and poul
try are plenty and cheap. Quail, duck
and vcnison from the vicinity can alst
be had Vegetables and fruits are abund
ant in their season, and sometimes tn
season is long one. II is the one coun
