Tueson was formerly a town of three thousand inhabitants; but the majority have been driven off by the Apache Indians. It is fast becoming a thriving American town, and will before long be a place of more importance than ever before. Real estate is already held at high rates, and the erection of buildings shows that American energy is about to change the face of the last half century.
Your ob't serv't, J. A. Douglas. Lt. Mowry, U. S. A. Tucson, Oct. 25, 1857. I send you the last petition from the Territory. The work is now in your hands, and we say, God speed it. G. H. Oury. Tueson, Arizona Territory, Oct. 17, 1857. Every thing begins to look up in the Territory notwithstanding the difficulties we labor under.
In almost any daily paper in San Francisco may be seen vessels advertised for the mouth of the Colorado. Two steamers find active employment in transporting government stores from the head of the Gulf of California to Fort Yuma, and goods to Colorado city for the merchants of Tueson, Tubac, Calabazas, and for the mining companies.
The Indians the other day came within eight hundred yards of Fort Buchanan and remained some time, and when they left carried off with them all the horses and mules in the valley for six or eight miles below. Try your hand in this matter of our Territory, and see if some change cannot be wrought to some benefit we need it greatly. Very truly yours, G. H. Oury. Tueson, Oct. 2, 1857.
