NOgales.

NIT. Samuel Grammar, we'll known in this city, wrote to the Alta from Noga- les as follows:
 Nogales IS situated half in Arizona and half Tn Sonora, on the line of the Sonora Railroad from Guaymas to the Southern Pacific. This road runs through valley 800 miles long and thInly populated, and the time Is twenty two hours from Guaymas and ten hours from Tucson by stage. It Is seventy live miles to New Virginia, or the New Bonanza mines. Two opposition stage lines are running from Tucson to Nogales, S7 fare, just half the railroad charges, taking all the eastern and west era travel. The town Is one year old. The nights are cool enough for two or three blankets in the summer months. The altitude Is 4.J0O feet above the sea. In the day time the thermometer stands from 50 to go degrees, and at night from % to GO degrees during the summer months. Vegetables can be raised twice a year. Fruits are very pro- ductive. All grains grow fine, and some crops produce twice a year. The same may be said of the whole valley AN 10 --ANAN OA aAASE AAA AA-alA h Paradise lost.
 Water is very abundant iu this section of the country, and particularly m tnls place. IL Is easily obtained by digging from twelve tO twenty-four feet. It Is the best of water, pure and cold the year around. 1t IS fine location for manufacturing purposes, there being wood, water and coal in abundance; anu being located on the line of the United States and Mexico, the place has both countries for a market. An iron foundry and machine shop, manufacturing for mines in particular, would do well here. IrOu and coal are found plentlfully not far away. 4 four mill would do well, there being a good market at home.
 Wiudmil.s can be used during the dry season, when the trade winds pre- vail; ani ,he wells are never known to fail.
 Nogales is surrounded with the richest mines mines In the W rld-gold. silver, copper, lead, coal and iFon-and k the outtitting station for inc celebrated Sierra Maire Mountain mines, now no longer occupied by the Apache Indians, but free to all. These mOuntains are now open tp the prospector, and there are DO Indians t0 moleSt and interfere. The Apachgs occupied these mountains since lS20, up tO within two years past, and no one was able to visit them. General Crook now has those h. dians Cll corrallel at San Carlos, on tho reservation h Ar,zoua. In 1S2D was the time when they massn- cred the Spanish miners and priests then located there, and four years be- fore the Republic Of Mexico was eStab- li-hed. The old ruins of villages, churches, ditches, mines and arastr2s are still visible. the mines Tn particular. There are some twenty five III the group, aad there Is also mountain of horn silver, two and half miles at the base, which that people did not understand how to work. Gen. Crook has left open and clear, and from this time further we may look for no more Indian raids 60 disturb the miner. They are too far north. sLould they jump the reserva- tion, to do any harm. It Is supposed at the time of the massacre that there was great deal of gold and silver bur jed in the ground which will be dlscOv- cred by the prospector. So far, these mountains have been sealed book.
 Two hundred mules with wagons loaded with silver ore arrived at this point lately, the ores to be shipped to Guavmas and from there reshipped east. Twenty.seven thousand dollars of silver bullion also arrived.
