Flip per upon the recent survey made by him of route for the projected road from Nogales into the Altar district Of Sonora. The report was read and accepted, all agreeing that it pre- sented the best and most feasible route. The estimated costs is about sl0.0OO. Mexican money. A subscrip- tion was started, and those present, numbering some twelve gentlemen, pledged B, 3,OO0ofth the amount necessary.
 Tie municipal officers of Nogales, Sonora. have been in communication with Governor Ramon Corral, and he has pledged himself to render the pro- feet every possible assistance. This week Presidcnte Carlos Garza Ccrtlna has gone to IIermosillo 10 confer with Governor Corral, and secure from him 'anpointment of a commission Of pro- minent gentlemen in the Altar region to solicit subscriptions from those over there who are interested in the success cf the project.
