Having just passed a few hours with an intehi-
gent gentleman direct from chihuahua, via the
Colorado it has occurred to me that few 1t ems o.
information derived from him might be made inter
csting to your readers. This gentleman left here
last autumn for Maratlsn, thence to Durango, and
thence TO chihuahua, where he purchased q large
drove OF sheep. (This business, blythe bye, is get
ting to be very important one. sheep that are
bought ia Chihuahua for ten shillings, can BIO sold
in the mines for ten and even twenty dollars) Be-
tween Mazatlan and Durango, whore you pass tho
Cordllera range Of mountains, the scenery is grand
In the extreme. The whole country north Of Ma
ratlan l. overrun with the Apaches. In moro tn.n
one instance my informant passed ranches that had
Just been attacked, and the dead bodies of their in
habitants were lying near. Tn the way from Cni.
