moments delay during which the
custom officers examined our pack

passing many stations TIL within about
twenty miles OF the Clty OF Madalina,
where on either side, except In some
few cases, could be seen poorly TILED
farms, orchards extending for many
miles along the eide VI the Tailroad.

TO my JOY, the young Mexican came
up, leading IA sDidled horse. We spent
the tins until y. m. converting upon
the Gospel as revealed by the Prophet
Joseph Smith, the introduction Of the

private secretary under Gen. Pesceira
at the time when this Sonora State was
