 JIG. Flores of the construction of the Sonora railroad has been on business trip to Mazatlan for a week or so, stopping also at Al tata and La Paz. He calls Sonora Gods country compared with those states, and says 1t is the best section he has seen. Mazatlan is a genuine Mexican town with very few American residents. On the plaza he only saw three, one of them Mir Spurrier, the Western Pierce oil agent who said he would prefer to return to Guaymas on half the salary. Times are very dull down there and pur- chases of meat and vegetables are made ou the centavo scale. No money in circulation. La Paz, Mir. Flores finds, quite pretty. Each house has its little garden-kept neat and clean. La Triunfo mine near La Paz is the only place that seems to have sort of boom. A good many people have gone there from both sides.
 Judge Sloan has appointed D. J. Cumming a court commissioner for this city. In making this appoint ment Judge Sloan has done what should have been done long ago. Such officer was needed here as in many minor cases persons were com pelled to go all the way to Tucson when preliminary proceedings could be just as we'll had here. Judge Cum ming is good man for the place.
 Superintendent Richards has care fully kept an experienced eye to wind ard and probabilities are that little trouble will result from washouts on the Sonora road when the rainy season comes. Notwithstanding the great amount of economy that has characterized his management he has put both roads in excellent condi- tion.
