Tombstone. Ariz., April 1J.—"Arl-
zony, the Sun Kissed band," was me
caption over a soldier’s letter from Ft.
Bowie, Arizona, In 1X77, In one of the
Pittsburg, Penn. newspapers, which
appealed to a then aotDe and ambi-
tious young. In the prime of his man-
hood, so strongly that he Invested hls
small savings in a span of mules and
a buckboard and began his travels
towards "Arizony, the Sun Kissed
I-and."
This, then young man, was no other
than Judge James F. Duncan, the
white haired old man, pioneer Tomb-
stoner and much valued historian,
w ho addressed the ’ Tombstone troop
of Boy Scouts at the Congregational
church on Saturday eventing. and tn
an interesting and entertaining man-
ner related the history of Tombstone
from Its first Inception, and hls own
travels from Pittsburg to Tomstone.
The judge kept hls audience inter-
ested for over an hour and a half,
and then did not tell one-fourth of
hls knowledge of early pioneer life.
He will relate his second story on
Tuesday evening of next week.
When Judge Duncan came to this
country the Santa Fe rallro&d’s west-
ern terminus was at Las Vegas, New
Mexico, lie came through Santa Fe,
where he met Gov. Wallace of that
territory (the author of Ben liur).
Wallace tried to induce him to locate
in New Mexico; but young Duncan’s
mind was set on . "Arizony, the Sun
Kissed laind’’ so strong that he con-
tinued bis journey westward, through
Albuquerque and the Zuni Indian vil-
lage to Fort Howie, Arizona, where
he met a soldier friend of the Civil
War, who advised him'to go to Tom-
stone a new town just starting up.
The Judge proceeded Tombstone-
ward. reaching here In the early part
of October, 1879. He drove up the
load, now Allen street, from Water-
v?Ue, hls last camping place, and as
he reached the point yvhere the Ar-
lington hotel now stands, he saw a
: man strike another with a claw ham-
mer, the poor fellow was ‘ deader
thap a door nail" within a rev Ynitiu-
ies. This was Judge Duncan’s first
| Impression of Tombstone, there being
I then about 40 houses and In the neigh-
j borhnod ot 100 people in the town.
I The town had been started In the
early spring of 1879.
He Impresslv,eft- told the sketch of
the life of F.d Bchleffelln, the found-
er T-unbstone. History of his Con-
tention mine on the bill of hls for-
tune, and how It was spent and of
his trip to A bisk a, and finally of
hls lonely death in a cabin near Can-
vnnville, Oregon, in 1897; arrival of
me remains In the city the deceased
had founded; the funeral services in
Kchii.ffedn hall, and also his hurla1 on
the Crystal hill about three miles w»h»
of Tombstone at a point where the
famous tra.il-blazer’s first camp was
located, and further the story of the
erection of the simple prospector’s
monument upon the grave of the true-
hearted man among all men. When
the speaker yvas paying tribute In
mommy of hls old friend, Ed SohlM-
fclln, sparkling tears flowed down up-
on the cheeks of the veteran Tomb-
stone historian.

If you are looking for a site to build your home you absolutely cannot hnd a
lot in El Paso that will compare with those offered you in GOLDEN
HILL. There may be a few sites in the city that could be purchased at a
handsome price which, would compare favorably with Golden Hill lots, but
they would not be considered quite as good. Property adjoining GOLDEN
HILL is selling today for 50 per cent higher prices than we ask for
GOLDEN HILL LOTS
GOLDEN HILL is close in, it has every modern convenience, overlooking
the entire city. Already GOLDEN HILL has several handsome homes.
Compare the homes in GOLDEN HILL with those of any part of the city.
If you do not want to own your own home and wish to invest in close-in high
grade property you cannot find a better investment than GOLDEN HILL.
