TUCSON THE OLDEST TOWN.
ST. Augustine Oeposed from Position
It Has Long Held.

DR.. Alexander Craig, Of Tucson,
Ariz., alleges that that city is older
than St. Augustine, Fla, by 10
years. He says
"There can be no doubt that Tue
son enjoys the distinction Of being
the oldest city in the United States
When that intrepid Spaniard
Melendez discovered the coast Of
Florida, planted the standard of his
country and founded the city Of St.
Augustine, in the year of our Lord
1865, Tucson was a struggling and
growing pueblo and had been for 10
years This is not according to our
text books on geography, but it is
Just as much fact for all of that,
and the proof OF it may be found
in a stained and timeworn document
of vellGm, signed by their Catholic
Majesties Ferdinand and Isabella,
and codntersigned by the vieeroy of
Mexico and Gen. Coronado, who in
the early part of 1852 raised the
flag Of Spain over the little Indian
village of Tuscon and laid the
cornerstone of the first mission with
his own hands. This important pa
per was lost to the public until
about ~ years ago, when it was dis
covered by mere accident among
the archives of the ancient Church
Of San Xavier, nine miles south Of
Tucson. AS a matter of precaution
if was forwarded to the library of
Washington, d. c., where it now
lies. This discovery gives the resi-
dents of Tucson the right to claim
that their city is the eldest in the
United States"
