mining districts which now reach it by wagon and pack- mule. The city contains many substantial and elegant public buildings and business houses, and handsome private resi- derces. The Court House, erected in 1878 at a cost of $65,000, is a two-story brick, 52 feet square, and 43 feet high, surmounted by cupola, in which is a large clock. On the first floor are several commodious offices, occupied by the different county offi- cials. On the second floor is an elegant court room, 45 feet square, well lighted and ven- tilated, for the use of the Su- preme and District Courts, also jury rooms. In the base- ment is the county jail, contain- ing a jailer's room and twelve cells, ten of which are built of iron. A fire-proof vault, with walls 18 inches thick, for the preservation of public records, is built on the first floor. The public school building is a fine two-story brick, pleasantly sit- uated on the crest of a hill. The first floor is occupied by class-rooms, and the second floor as offices for the Secre- tary of the Territory, and for the Territorial Library. There are 198 scholars enrolled, and an average attendance of 110. A school connected with the Church of the Sacred Heart, under the supervision of the Sisters of St. Joseph, has about forty pupils. They
also contemplate the es- tablishment of an academy for the instruction of young ladies as soon as circumstan- ces will admit. The secret
and benevolent orders are well represented by Aztlan Lodge, No. 177, F. and A. M., organ- ized in 1865, number of mem- bers, 75; Arizona Lodge, No. 1, I. O. O. F., organized July, 1868, number of members 58; and the Knights of Pythias, organized in 1877, number of members 33. The churches established are the Methodist Episcopal, organized in 1874; the Roman Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart, organ- ized in 1878; the Congrega- tional, organized in 1880; the Methodist Episcopal South, and the Baptists, who have recently erected a commodi- ous house of worship. The St. Joseph's Hospital, estab- lished in 1878, is a wooden edifice, capable of accommo- dating about fifteen patients. It is under the supervision of the Sisters of St. Joseph, who kindly and carefully attend to the wants of the sick com- mitted to their charge. There are two newspapers pub- lished, the Arizona Miner, and the Arizona Democrat, both issuing a daily and a weekly, replete with reliable information in regard to the resources of the Territory. A hook and ladder company, organized in 1880, has 70 members, and as a further protection against fire, cis- terns have been constructed at each corner of the Court House plaza, containing pow- erful force pumps, capable of throwing water over the high- est buildings. The town also contains a U. S. Land Office, telegraph and express offices, a

bank, theatre, public hall, pub- lic library, law library, Territo- rial library, several extensive mercantile establishments, steam saw mills, a sash, door, and blind factory, two brew- eries, and other business places incident to a city. There is at present. no hotel in the place, but the Williams House provides excellent sleeping accommodations for the pub- lic, and good restaurants near by furnish all the delicacies that the market affords. Sur- rounding it are many min- ing districts of great impor- tance, and along Granite Creek are placers where gold is profitably obtained by wash- ing the soil in the rocker or in sluices. The mining districts contain rich veins of gold, silver and copper, some of which are already worked with profit; all regarding Prescott as the center of their business, and making it one of the chief mining towns of Arizona. Two lines of stages maintain communi- cation with Phœnix, one via Big Bug, Bumble Bee and Gillette, the other via Wick- enburg and Seymour; both connecting with stages for Maricopa on the Southern Pacific Railroad. Other lines maintain communication with Fort Mohave on the Colorado River via Hackberry, Mineral Park and Hardyville, with the Peck and Tiger mines, etc., with Brigham City and way stations, and with Fort Verde.

Queen City P 0,
Pinal Co, 31 miles ne of Flor- ence, is pleasantly situated at the mouth of Queen Creek Cañon, three miles east of Pi-
nal City. In view of the town is a precipice over which three hundred and fifty hostile Indians were driven headlong to destruction by Gen. Crook's troops. It is said that human bones can still be found to mark the spot where they perished. Two quartz mills located here are in operation most of the time, crushing ore from the mines in the vicinity.

The erection of buildings for county use and other im- provements are in progress, and in the near future this will no doubt be a place of some note.

Among these are what is left of the blood - thirsty savages who but a few years since roamed through the land seeking every opportunity to plunder and kill all who were so unfortunate as to fall in their way. They have at last, however, been subjugated, and are now quietly living on the reservation, protected and provided for by the Gov-

San Xavier Del Bac,
Pima Co, nine miles s of Tucson, in the valley of the Rio Santa Cruz, a village of Papago In- dians, is distinguished for its church, an ancient structure in the Moorish order of archi- tecture, 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 Mis- sion, and subsequent erection of the present structure, say that the missionaries followed in the pathway of the explor- ing and conquering party of Coronado about the year 1560, planting several missions on the route to the Gila, one be- ing 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 Lo- yola 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 main- tained for more than a hund- red years, when these ad- vanced outposts of civiliza- tion were beaten back by hos- tile savages, and their build- ings laid waste. About 1730 the place was reoccupied and the present edifice erected, its construction probably occu- pying many years, as it real- ly never has been completed. Situated as it is-or until very

recently it was-in the midst of a wilderness, surrounded by low adobe houses and In- dian huts, it makes a most imposing appearance, and im- presses the beholder with a feeling of reverence and ad- miration. 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 local- ity. 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 sun- dried hills, its vegetation of the desert border, and the ever-blue sky above it, all re- mind him of an age, a land and a people, not of the pres- ent-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 monu- ment in the pathway of Time by the new element now surging around it in the mad excitement of progressive en- terprise. Now it is the "Blar- ney-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 di- mensions being 115 feet by 70, and 57} 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 su- perior quality, the source of which is unknown in the lo- cality at present. The main body is surmounted by a dome, and a tower rises from each of its front angles. The eastern tower, intended, evi- dently, as the principal, re- mains unfinished. The out- side was once stuccoed with white cement, but the marks of age are on its walls. Fres- coes, portraits, niches, and statuary once adorned the in- terior, and their remains be- speak for them a former ele- gance 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 Sup- per," "The Pentecost," "The Nativity of Christ," " The An- nunciation," "The Visitation of the Virgin," and others, are past recognition. The In- dian, while venerating the structure, and dimly appre- ciating its purpose, has not learned to finish or to repair, much less to build; and noth- ing but original strength has saved this monument of the past from obliteration.
