Brick wood IS building nice summer residence on Mob Hill. By a typograph- ical error, notice was omitted in our last issue, for winch we apologize.
 NogaIes is rapidly filling up with handsome, intelligent and refined Amer icsn ladies, acquisitions to our midst and what We greatly need to elevate and improve our mental and moral manliness.
 Speedy, of Mob Hill. struck water in his well on Thursday. A shot fired at fifty feet raised four feet of water. Ihls is good news for owners of Mob Hlll properties, as they can all go to work now and dig wells with a certainty Of success in their fluid undertakings.
 Our local medicos are getting disgust ed with Nogales; it IS too healthy, the only sickness prevailing here being caused by over indulgence, and as We possess a soda works, why We have ready remedy for the complaint when generally troubles us.
 Sherlff Paul, arrived here on Thurs day night, on business connected with ceItaln horse robbers; who are said to be new at Magdalena. Dr.GoOdwln and Mir. Vasquez, telegraphed yesterday to the authorities at that place to ascer- tain If they would surrender the crlmI- nsls if our governor signed the neces- sary paper, as yet we do not know the result, but trust Mir. Paul will be given all assistance in his praiseworthy work
 In conversation (the other day) with Mexican gentlemen who lives near Her mosillo, he informed us that if we had reduction works here with cheap rates of carriage and reduction, he himself could keep the works going as he owned an extensive ledge of low grade ore averaging S36 to $40 in silver, and 52 per cent lead on assays of rock picked at random. He rays he could ship 2UO tons e week. There is no doubt that had we had the works here long ago We would be fiOurishing. But the good times are coming and we can wait It, tie in patience.
 A large number of horses are missing from the Santa Cruz Valley, Sablno Otero being the heaviest loser heard of. One of Otero's carriage mules was found tied in the Agus Fria canon by Mercer's Mayor DOmO, the other day. Another of Mercer's horses was found at the Mexican line on the Santa Cruz, ridden down. It supposed 1t was used to drive 0 band of horses that was driven through Calabases the night ot the 25th ultimo. Information has Leen received has been received that the Mex ican authorities are excusing from the first draft those who turn in a certain number of horses for the use of the army now operating the Yaquis although this lacks confirmation, yet 1t may be so and may account for the recent wholesale robberies.
 The town of Nogales presented hol- iday appearance on Tuesday last, It being the day of celebration of the sur render of Puebla and the defeat of the forces of France in Mexico. There are larger towns than ours, but none pos sessing a greater percentage of pretty girls, We headed the bill in this line last ! Tuesday. Fireworks, music, dancing, flirting and iollity was the order of the | day among our friends on the other side. The Hsqm war seemed to be thing of no moment, judging from the supera- bundGnce of good humor that prevailed on the CincO de Mayo in NOgsles. Collisions between the contrabands and customs officers of the Mexican frontiers are becoming tame and monOt- OnOus from their frequency. Bloodshed IS no bar to the pleasure of the snug gling gangs, seeing that they take al- most as much delight in cutting thrOats and in running their stuff through. Whether in their minds the profits de- rived from beating the revenue, or the excitement of their trade, offsets and compensates for the loss of human life, both ''lesal and illegal' IS out of our ken, but We prefer paying our taxes what little reputation and lease of exist ence we have left.
