 ment Of the commonwealth. it may be truthfully said that the mining in terests in Arizona are yet in their in- fancy. This is readily seen from the great and growing increase of the out put. which for the last year in copper alone. exceeded thirty-f1ya per cent over the year before. Tucson 1s not only the metropolitan city of the Ter ritory. but is situated in the very cen ter of this vast wealth, thereby. not only insuring its stability. but also its rapid growth and development.
 One of the most important factors in the unbuilding and maintenance or Tucson. Is the Southern Paciric hail- road. This great system of railroads. produced and consolidated by the late c. P. Huntington. who as builder of railroads has no peer in the history of this important industry. embraces more than 1000 miles of roadbed. A most worthy and unique testimony is borne by the employees of this road. that the are better treated and m&re generously remunerated than the em- ployes of any other great railroad sys- tenn in the world. Tucson is the head quarters of a division of this road which coYers $50 miles of it's track. This means a great deal to Tucson. Here is, located the superintendents office. employing nearly seventy men. Then the city is the home of a small army of trainmen which. including engineers and firemen. number over Enn pnfhfuU Of the other large force of 450 men employed in the ma chine and car shops; Altogether, the railroad employees who reside and are paid here. number 1,050 men. only small percentage of which are la- borers. They are mostly officers of the road. high grade of clerks, engin- eers. firemen. conductors. brakemen and skilled workmen in the machine shops. The character of the employ es may be estimated by the average pay. which amounts to a little more than S90 a month. and the aggregate sum paid to the employees of the road. in this city. exceeds Se5,OOO every month. It is not at all surprising that the malcontents. who are to be found everywhere. even in the most favored conditions. have never succeeded in embarrassing or tying this road up with strike.
 The city is well supplied with Christian churches: all the leading denominations are represented: Bap- tist.. Congregational. Episcopal Meth odist, Presbyterian and Roman Cath oiic. All these have fairly comforta- bic buildings. are supplied with tal- ented pastors and seem to be D a healthy and progressive condition. The public schools of the city are of a high order. There are five modern school buildings of which any city might be proud. which have been con- structed at an aggregate cost of ESQ., 900. The Territorial University. a young but growing institution Is lo- cated within the city limits. Within its beautiful campus isere are nun.
