The Guaymas Railroad.

4 special correspondent of the La
,Cronica, Los Angeles, writes from San
Francisco in regard to a railroad line
from Guaymas, Mexico, to Tucson:
1--WE have had the pleasure of meet
ing Don Alexandra Willard, United
States Consul at Guaymas for the past
nine years. Mr.. Willard is on a leave
of absence for four months, intending
to visit the Centennial and the east
Like us Americans generally, he will
combine business with pleasure, and
one of his principal objects will be
while east. to procure capital for build
ing a railroad from Guaymas TO Tue
son, Arizona. Mr.. Willard had inter
views with several prominent capital
lists here, and received assurances from
them of their good will and support.
A concession to build the line has
been already made to a Mr. Blair and
others of this city but the parties fail
ed to file proper bonds, and so the con
tract is about the same as if it never
existed. What is known as the Blair
concession has been considerably
talked about in the papers. The gen
tlemen who are now endeavOring to-
put the project through are men of
means and energy. Such scheme i'll
inaugurated, would be a great blessing
to the people of Sonora and Arizona,
as it would give thousands employ
ment. Gen. Mariscal is an earnest adj
vocate Of the enterprise, as are all the
prominent citizens of Sonora. II will
also have the hearty support of Gov.
Stafford OF Arizona. The proposed
line has already been surveyed twice,
and has a light, easy grade for nearly
three hundred miles. The entire dis
lance between Guaymas and Tucson Is.
believe. about three hundred and nj.
ty miles

Mr.. MIGUEL LATE, formerly of Tucson,
but now in business at Magdalena, Sono-
"a, arrived in Tucson yesterday with
about $1,000 pounds -four from Persons
Terrenate mills. Since our last meeting
with Mr.. Late he has done the very sensi-
bic thing of getting married, an act to
which Miss Ana Davila Of Hermosillo was
a happy partner, and Judge G. Elias Off
cisted. He seems like the rest Of us IN
der similar circumstances, to have i'm
proved. He says that there is no apprehen-
sion about Magdalena that another revo-
luton will occur, and that all hands are
looking checrfully into future; also that a
glorious time is expected at their Feast
October 1.

Mr.. T. LILLE MERCER reached Tucson
this week. He has the credit OF correctly
informing considerable number of Bos-
ton people OF the advantages of coming
west, Of getting all needed information as
to cost Of trip aud route, Of organizing and
onducting most of them TO Arizona.
Those who stopped en- route DID so be-
cause they were offered satisfactory en-
ploymenr. None returned dissatisfied,
while many others, perhaps designedly
mlsiniormed by such bilks as Judge Coz
zens, have met with only disappointment.
Mr.. Mercer did not engage in this
westward movement as a speculation but
to find a home for himself and others, and
he has succeeded admirably, and we feel
sure that any advice he gives his Boston
friends res ecting Arizona in any respect,
can be relied upon, for he will be careful
to ,only speak of what-he has personal
knowledge. We welcome him TO the Ter
ritory.

WE hear that much of the trade OF
eastern Arizona, is now being done in
the Rio Grande Valley, and that buyers
who uptill recently purchased in Tue
son, have opened accounts in New
Mexico. If this be true, and it seems
to be unquestionably so, can't our mer-
chants offer better inducements to deal
here and not only retain butregain and
add to their trade from all the dealers
aforesaid? We have no doubt but they
can and will.

the feast as attractive as possible, and
have all precautions taken to maintain

shows that Price must have had some rath-
er powerful leverage to break the heavy

MOHAvE items from the Wallapai
Enterprise, July IS:
The tax list of the county shows an
increase in the valuation of property
during the year Of over 100000.
One and one-half tons of ore from
the Laport Mine near town, recently
worked $3.50. Several tons of ore
from this mine worked a short time
previous, PANIED out 1854 per ton.
With Wallapai Mountain ends the
Wallapai Range. Here begins what
is known as the Cerbat Range, taking a
course rather west of north, and the
Peacock Mountains, short range run
ming almost directly north, in which is
situated the now famous blackberry
Mine.
The Cerbat Range extends from Wal
lapai Mountains on the south to the
Colorado River on the north, dis
lance in all of about one hundred miles.
On the west side of this range lies the
great Sacramento or Long Valley, and
on the east side lies the WallapaI Val
lev, which in time to come will prove
to be one of the garden spots of the
earth
In the Cerbat Range is Wallapai
District, formerly Sacramento District
the oldest, and at present the most
populous and flourishing district in the
county. Here men were killed in for
mer days prospecting for the mines the
profits of which we now enjoy.

THE report that the killing Of Por-
tugese Joe near old Camp Grant, was
done by Indians, is not believed by pro-

SONORA.

Everything appears to be significant
of a propitious change for Sonora.
Tie retirement to their reservation of
the Apache tribe, which were on the
coterminous frontiers of Arizona, is IA
vorable to the settlement of this region.
Important and well combined meas
ures for avoiding future conflict with
other Indian tribes are in progress,
and should civil war not disturb them,
the progress of Sonora will be rapid.
Meanwhile, it is sufficient to say that
we have personal security, and enjoy
every guarantee at present.
