Some Early Days in Tucson as
 Recalled by Charles Shaffer

Charles Schaffer of Florence has prepared the following account of the early days in Tucson and the building of the first railroad below the international line:
 I came to Tucson a short time aft CT the Southern Pacific railroad got there I do not remember whether it was in 1879 or 1880. I was not yet 15 years old.
 I worked a short time as printers 'devil'' and office boy for the Tucson Star, then owned by L. c. Hughes. used to sell parers about an hour every morning and went fifty fifty with Hughes son John on the pro ceeds. The paper was printed on an armstrong press, which received its power from the strong back of a Mexican.
 I also worked for Tom Mills fa- ther herding calves. Tom is an of ficer now in Tucson.
 The Palace hotel was the best hotel in Tucson at that time. It was about the only two story building in Tucson that I can reinanher. It was still there on Meyer street sonis F years ago, but was turned into a cheap lodging house. IL had not Q upstairs on my last visit and things looked so natural that I looked fo:' barrel that stood in one corner 35 years before. The reason for this was, I saw in this barrel placed to catch rain water, the first centipede ever saw, and I did not know what it was until I was told.
 I went from Tucson to Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, in wagon by the way of Altar. I went with Greek who was married to French wom- an. I had worked for them in Tue son at their restaurant there. It was the Union restaurant. We had quite a trip A short time after we had arrived at Hermosillo I took sick with a fever and was put in the hos pital My friends thought I was go- ing to die and they did not like the country, so they came back to the United States.
 l got well and went to work with a surveying party that was locating the Sonora railroad. The tracklay- ing had just started from Guaymas. The rails and ties came in by water to that port. The last spike. a silver one, that connected the Sonora with the New Mexico and Arizona rail- road at Nogales, was driven by Mrs. Merely, wife of the chief engineer of the Sonora railway. This was in 1883.
 The night before the last spike was driven, John BriCkwood killed Barry Sutton, who was the first man to Le killed in Nogales Sutton had | been cooking for our surveying out

HOSTILE INDIANS
 CONSTANT MENACE

Indians were a constant menace to settlers when George T. Tyler locat- ed at point on the Little Colorado river, now known as Woodruff. fl years ago. He came with his father and other members of the. family Al years ago last January. Several oth- CT families also made the trip by OK teams from Utah to the new land south Of the Colorado river.
 We reached our destination just two years before the Santa Fe rail road came west from Albuquerque, then the western terminal of the Hne.' MT. Tyler writes
 Tt took three months to make .be trip overland to Alubuquerque for supplies. The Indians caused us con tant trouble and their thieving hab- it's cost hundreds of cattle Slaying of ranchers seemed to be a favorite pastime with the redskins in those days.
 We were obliged to grind barley on a coffee mill to make our bread. Irrigation was rather a difficult task, also, for we were obliged to carry water by buckets to the fruit trees. These fruit trees were planted from seeds and pits brought with us from Utah.
