Arivaca PO
Pima Co, 65 miles sw of Tucson, is a mining
settlement in the Arivaca District. In this vicinity are a number of mines which
were worked many years ago by the Spaniards and Mexicans, who erected smelters,
and it is said extracted a large amount of bullion. At present quite a number of
mines are being worked, some of which are yielding good ore. With the exception
of a few months the climate of this section is all that could be desired, the
days being warm and pleasant and the nights cool. Communication is maintained
with Tucson and other points by a tri- weekly line of stages.

section are excellent agricultural and grazing lands. On the
mountain slopes is a good supply of timber, including oak, ash,
black walnut, sycamore, cottonwood, and juniper, and on the river
bottoms a heavy growth of mesquite. The climate is pleasant, the
thermometer ranging from about freezing point in the winter to about
100 degrees above zero in the summer.

Greaterville PO
Pima Co, 55 miles s e of Tucson and 27 miles from Pantano, occupies
a pleasant site in teh Santa Rita Mountains, 5,000 feet above the
level of the sea. West of the town, at a distance of three miles, is
a peak known as Old Baldy, which rises to the height of 10,000 feet,
being one of the highest in Arizona. In the vicinity are rich gold
placers, and also goal, silver and copper ledges of great richness
and extent, which are being rapidly developed. The climate of this
section is unsurpassed, there being no very great extremes of heat
or cold. The mountains and hills are covered with oak, pine, cedar
and other kinds of timber, and abound in game, such as deer,
antelope, turkey, duck, quail, rabbit, etc. The stages of the
Pantano and Harshaw line pass within five miles of the town.

Harshaw PO
Pima Co, 70 miles s e of Tucson and 50 miles s of Pantano, is a
thriving and improtant town, pleasantly siturated among hills
covered with grass and trees, in one of the richest mining districts
of Arizona. It is about 5,000 feet above the sea level and is
supplied with good mountain water. A large trade is carried on with
Sonora and adjacent camps. About three miles distant are the ruins
of the smelting works of the old Mowry Mine. A collection of adobe
ruins and a lofty chimney are all
Page 143
that remains to denote the site of what was once the liveliest
mining camp in Arizona. From several mines in the vicinity
high-grade ore is being extracted; and one, the Hermosa, which has a
20-stamp mill in constant operation, is yieldign from $60,000 to
$75,000 per month. In the valleys and hills throughout this section
are some excellent agricultural and grazing lands. Timber, including
oak, walnut, ash and juniper are abundant. The growth of the town
has been rapid, and although but little over a year old contains
about 1,000 inhabitants. Stages leave daily for Pantano, connecting
with the trains of the Southern Pacific RR, and tri-weekly for
Tombstone, via Camp Evans, Camp Huachuca, and Charleston.

San Xavier Del Bac
Pima Co, nine miles s of Tucson, in the valley of the Rio Santa
Cruz, a village of Papago Indians, is distinguished for its church,
an ancient structure in the Moorish order of architecture, built by
the Jesuit missionaries in the early part of the eighteenth century.
The history of this venerable edifice is in doubt; but the most
authentic accounts of the establishment of the Mission, and
subsequent erection of the present structure, say that the
missionaries followed in the pathway of the exploring and conquering
party of Coronado about the year 1560, planting several missions on
the route to the Gila, one being at the locality now known as San
Xavier Del Bac, or San Xavier of the Spring. It cannot be presumed
that the original Mission bore the name of San Xavier, as that great
disciple of Ignatius Loyola was not canonized until 1622, although
he died eighty years before, one of the most eminent and successful
of missionaries. A church was erected and a mission maintained for
more than a hundred years, when these advanced outposts of
civilization were beaten back by hostile savages, and their
buildigns laid waste. About 1730 the place was reoccupied and the
present edifice erected, its construction probably occuppyuing many
years, as it really never has been completed. Situated as it is --
or until very
Page 168
recently it was — in the midst of a wilderness, surrounded by low
adobe houses and Indian huts, it makes a most imposing appearance, and impresses
the beholder with a feeling of reverence and admiration. The surprise, the
contrast, and the age of the structure, combine to give an impress of grandeur
greater than would obtain were the building in a different locality. Here the
traveler may imagine himself in one of the Barbary States, or in the Holy Land,
or take himself back to medieval times; as the old church and its surroundings,
its swarthy guardians, its sundried hills, its vegetation of the desert border,
and the ever-blue sky above it, all remind him of an age, a land and a people,
not of the present — not American. Linking the present with the past — showing
two ages in one — the venerable pile, so sacred to the poor Indians, who guard
it so faithfully, should be held sacred as a monument in the pathway of Time by
the new element now surging around it in the mad excitement of progressive
enterprise. Now it is the "Blarney-stone" of Arizona, and he who writes of the
Territory and neglects San Xavier, says nothing worthy of notice. The church
covers an area of 8,050 square feet, in the form of a Latin cross, the exterior
dimensions being 115 feet by 70, and 57 1/2 feet to the upper floor of the
tower, and about 75 feet to the extreme top. The material is brick and stone,
laid in a cement of superior quality, the source of which is unknown in the
locality at present. The main body is surmounted by a dome, and a tower rises
from each of its front angles. The eastern tower, intended, evidently, as the
principal, remains unfinished. The outside was once stuccoed with white cement,
but the marks of age are on its walls. Frescoes, portraits, niches, and statuary
once adorned the interior, and their remains bespeak for them a former elegance
and worth worthy the place. It is related that there were formerly more than
eighty pieces of statuary in the church, representing Christ, the Apostles, and
Saints, but the images remaining are past recognition. The large fresco
paintings of "The Last Supper," "The Pentecost," "The Nativity of Christ," "The
Annunciation," "The Visitation of the Virgin," and others, are past recognition.
The Indian, while venerating the structure, and dimly appreciating its purpose,
has not learned to finish or to repair, much less to build; and nothing but
original strength has saved this monument of the past from obliteration.

Tubac PO
Pima Co, 55 miles s of Tucson, is the third oldest town in the
United States; following San Augustine, Florida, founded in 1513, and Santa Fe,
New Mexico, 1540. The earliest published account known to exist (1549) gives
Tubac as the only established town or city of any importance in El Desierto or
La Papagueria, and states that it was then inhabited by a people much in advance
of their neighbors. We again hear of it in 1600 as being the largest city in
Novum Mexicum, with the exception of Santa Fe, and the resting place for the
trains to recruit on their journeys from Alamos in Sonora to that place. It was
garrisoned by troops under Spanish, Mexican, and American rule, to protect the
inhabitants from the raids of the savage Apaches who infested this region, and
embraced every opportunity to plunder and kill. In the vicinity are to be found
the remains of arastras and smelters, together with large dumps of ore-slag,
which proclaim it to have been the center of extensive mining operations when
occupied by the Spaniards and Mexicans. The land in the upper Santa Cruz valley,
in which the town is situated, is very rich; but owing to scarcity and
uncertainty of water, agriculture on a large scale has generally proved a
failure. For raising stock of all kinds this section is unsurpassed, and the
climate is one of the most delightful in the world.

Tucson PO
Pima Co., county seat, and incorporated city of 9,000 inhabitants,
is the chief commercial town of Arizona, being eligibly situated for trade on an
elevated plateau in the valley of the Rio Santa Cruz, in the midst of a
productive country, and on the line of the Southern Pacific Railroad, in
latitude 32 deg. 14 min., longitude 110 deg. 56 min., and having an altitude of
2,542 feet above the sea. The locality is about midway between the Gila river
and the Mexican border, being about 65 miles from each in a direct line, and by
the railroad is 247 miles east of Yuma, and 978 miles from San Francisco. The
valley of the Santa Cruz leads into the Mexican State of Sonora, with fine
wagon-roads to Hermosillo, Altar, and other large towns of that country. From
its favorable position it commands a large trade, with the prospect of becoming
a railroad center of importance. The location was selected by the Spaniards
fully 300 years ago, in extending their frontier settlements and missions,
making Tucson, then called Quequelson, one of the oldest towns of the United
States, ranking with St. Augustine, Florida,
Page 185
and Santa Fe, New Mexico. As a frontier town and military post it
has experienced many vicissitudes: in constant war with the Apaches, at last
standing alone, the only place occupied by the Mexicans in the region south of
the Gila, since ceded to the United States. But it is not known that the
occupation was continuous previous to 1754, when the Presidio of Tucson was
established as a protection to the Mission of San Xavier del Bac, and the
settlements of the valley of the Santa Cruz. In 1847 the place was occupied for
a short time by the American forces known as the Mormon Battalion, under Colonel
Philip St. George Cooke, and thenceforward was on the route of emigrant travel
from the 'States' to California. In 1849 it was a welcome resting-place to the
weary pilgrim who found here his first and last signs of civilization in many
hundred miles of travel. The protection, kindness and hospitality of the people
of Tucson is vividly remembered by the pioneers of '49, whose fortune led them
by the, southern route in their journey to the El Dorado of the Pacific. In
1854, by the treaty known as the "Gadsden Purchase," the region was ceded to the
United States, and Tucson became an American town, at least in name, if not in
character. To every appearance it continued a Mexican pueblo, with buildings of
adobe, mere huts of one low story, with flat roofs, and the ground for the
floor, placed with little regard to streets, or order of any kind, and without
door-yards, out-houses, conveniences, or ornamentation; and to a great extent
the old accidents of location of streets, or passageways, continue to mar the
city of the present. But the advantages of position have drawn hither a large
and profitable trade, which is rapidly changing the ancient pueblo into a modern
American city — having been organized as such in 1877. By the census of the
place in 1872, the population was estimated at 3,500; by the census of 1880, it
was 6,993; and at present it is claimed to exceed 9,000. A great impetus was
given it by the discovery of the mines of Tombstone, Bisbee, and other
localities contributory to it, and this was accelerated by the completion of the
Southern Pacific Railroad, which was finished to this point on the 20th of
March, 1880, and to the connection with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe,
making a transcontinental road in March, 1881. With daily trains from both
extremes of the continent, with the telegraph connecting instantaneous thought
with all the world, and with well-equipped lines of stages running to
surrounding points and extending into Sonora and the great cities of Mexico, its
isolation is removed, and its means of intercommunication and trade perfected.
Now it claims all the elements of a
Page 186
first-class city, with its great mercantile houses, stock exchange,
banks, hotels, schools, churches, daily papers, parks, suburban resorts,
hospitals, etc., with street railroads, gas and water -works soon to be added.
While the general appearance of the city is Mexican, with many low, flat-roofed
adobe structures, there are also many of a more pretentious order; and a number
of quite elegant residences, costing from $5,000 to $10,000, stores, and public
buildings of great value. So numerous are the business establishments that it
would be difficult to name them. There are two prosperous banking-houses, that
of Safford, Hudson & Co., with a branch at Tombstone, being a substantial and
well-conducted institution, that would be a credit to any of the great cities of
the Union. Five well-conducted hotels furnish excellent accommodation to
travelers, and comfortable homes to resident boarders. Two breweries supply the
refreshing beverage which is said not to intoxicate, and a vast number of
saloons dispense it to the thirsty. Three daily and weekly newspapers — the
Citizen, Star, and Journal — furnish the American public with reading matter;
and El Fronterizo informs the Spanish-speaking population, in their own language
of the events of the day. Besides these are the Arizona Mining Journal,
published weekly, and the Arizona Quarterly Illustrated. A steam flouring-mill
in the limits of the city, and two propelled by water in the vicinity, afford a
market for the grain grower. Here are the United States Custom House, Internal
Revenue Office, U. S. Land Office, Surveyor-General's Office, U. S. Depository
for the District of Arizona, U. S. Courts, and Signal Service offices. The
Public School department was organized in 1872. A commodious school-house has
been erected at an expense, including ground and furniture, of about $10,000. It
contains a library valued at $1,000. The school is presided over by two male and
two female teachers, and has enrolled 260 pupils, of which 149 are boys, and 111
girls. The St. Joseph's Academy, conducted by the Sisters of St. Joseph, is a
seminary for young ladies, and has 135 pupils. There is also a parochial school
for girls under the charge of the Sisters of St. Joseph, and the Saint Augustine
parochial school for boys. The number of school children in the district much
exceeds the number enrolled, the great majority being Mexicans. A private school
is kept by Mr. and Mrs. Silva, which is well attended. At all the schools
instruction is given in both English and Spanish. The Tucson Library Association
was organized January 1st, 1880, and now has a library of 300 volumes, which is
maintained by a fee of $5 per
Page 187
annum, or fifty cents a month from those partaking of its benefits.
There is also a public library and a railroad library. The religious orders are
also represented. The Presbyterian Church was organized in 1877, and has an
adobe church edifice with a seating capacity of 250. This was erected in 1879,
at a cost of about $9,000. A Sabbath school is maintained with seven teachers
and fifty scholars. The Methodist Church was organized in 1879. The society has
a brick edifice with a seating capacity of 200, which was erected in 1881, at a
cost of $4,000. The St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church is an adobe structure,
finished in 1869. A flourishing Sabbath-school is connected with this church.
The Mount St. Joseph Novitiate of the Sisters of St. Joseph is one mile from
Tucson; has two sisters and seven novices. The St. Mary's Hospital, under the
charge of the Sisters of St. Joseph, is located one mile from the city, and has
accommodations for forty patients. The hospital, as it now stands, was opened
May 1st, 1880. It is a grayish stone building, located at the base of the Tucson
Mountains. There are two stories: the lower of which is reserved for county
patients, and the upper for those who are able to pay for the care they receive.
Another story is to be added as soon as the funds can be secured. Of the social
orders there are organized lodges of Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias,
Good Templars, and Turn-Verein. The Odd Fellows have erected a fine brick hall,
costing $8,000. There are some pleasant suburban resorts; those which are most
frequented being Silver Lake, three miles up the Santa Cruz, and the military
post of Camp Lowell, about seven miles north. The lake is a favorite resort for
bathers, and is exceedingly well patronized. The climate is pleasant during the
greater part of the year, although in summer the weather is at times extremely
hot during the day, but generally cool and agreeable at night. The temperature
during the year 1880, as recorded by the U. S. Signal Service Observer, was
maximum 110 deg. in June; minimum, 14 deg. in January. Range, 96 deg. Mean
temperature in winter, 55.5 deg.; mean temperature in summer, 79.6 deg. There
are two rainy seasons — one in July and August, when at times considerable rain
falls; and again during the months of December, January, and February, when the
rains are comparatively light. Stages leave for Arivaca and Oro Blanco
tri-weekly; Tubac, Calabasas, Magdalena, Hermosillo, Altar, and Guaymas,

Washington PO
Pima Co, 78 miles s e of Tucson and 64 miles from Pantano, occupies a
beautiful site among rolling hills, in a section noted for immense ledges of
good ore, which are being rapidly developed. The view from the town is
magnificent, embracing the lofty peaks of the Patagonia Mountains, the lovely
Santa Cruz Valley, and the mountain ranges of Sonora. The climate is equable and
balmy: the summers not oppressive; while the winters are relieved of the
severity of more northern latitudes. It undoubtedly will ere long be a resort
for tourists and invalids. The hills are covered with timber, principally oak;
and a luxurious growth of nutritious grasses. In the valleys are some excellent
agricultural lands. Communication is maintained with the Southern Pacific
Railroad by a daily line of stages to Pantano, via Harshaw, connecting at the
Page 198
latter place with a tri-weekly line for Tombstone.
