Yes, there are several known times Soapy was known to go through Arizona other than the time in Phoenix. I am betting there are more to be found as well.
The Tombstone Daily Epitaph lists Soapy at the Cosmopolitan hotel on January 26-31, 1882 and again on February 16, 1882.
A notebook in my cousin possession shows that he was in Tombstone in 1883 again as well.
My blog has two articles on Soapy's Tombstone visits HERE and HERE.
