On the Sonora side of the line the Mexican custom house and the municipal palace are imposing structures The Mexican municipal author ities have recently walled the arroyo running through the town and thrown across 1t two very fine iron bridges.

W. T. POWERS.

Mr. w T. Powers, who owns and conducts the blacksmith shop and wagon business at Crttenden, is an old timer in the country, having come to Harshaw in 1880 in The employ Of the HaFshaw Mining Co.,, as black smith at their mill He was after ward in the employ of the same own CTS at Minas Prietas, Soncra and in Chihuahua. Returning to what is now Santa Cruz county, he engaged in the saloon business at Crittenden and also turned his attention to min ing in the vicinity, being the owner of several properties. He is one of the owners in the Bluenose mine, a property near Harshaw, which has q record as producer. He owns also very promising properties in the Sa- lero district, about twelve miles west of Crittenden, which is now beginning to attract the attention of capital and will doubtless seon be another scene of mining activity. In 1887 Mr.
 Powers bought the blacksmith and wagon repair business at Crittenden

geographical position reap harvest Of pros perity and wealth. Increased traffic will ne cessitate corresponding increase of the carry ing facilities of the railroads; an increase m the rolling stock of a railroad company natur- ally implies an augmentation of the working force, and the larger the number of skilled op- eratives living in our midst the greater the prosperitv that will follow These items alone will be but incidental in the growth and fur ther development of the cities of Nogales, but they are things which those estimating the value and importance of the town as busi- ness point will not overlook. That the ever watchful eve of Fate has clearly marked out prosperous career for this favored city IS plain to be seen.

important point from a commercial standpoint Tt draws trade from Altar, Magdalena Arizpe and Cananea in Sonora, and the rich mining regions of Gro Blanco Duquesne. Harshaw and Washington Camp in Arizona.
 The country tributary is rich in mineral re- sources, and the cattle ranges among the best in the Southwest The town reaps splendid import trade in stock from the interior Of So- nora.
 The following extracts from the pen Of Allen T. Bird published in the Arizona Re publican describing Nogales in a special edi- ton issued some two months since are worthy of reproduction,
 Situated at an altitude of about 1000 feet, the climate is mild and equable, avoiding both the excessive heat in summer of lower alti- tudes and experiencing but little really cold weather in winter. Bright and pleasant days follow each other in an almost endless success sion. * Many of the leading citizens and officials in the State of Sonora have estab- {. lished summer homes at Nogales. sManySAmericans operating 9r g,,t employed in mines and, business in Sonora have their homes in Nogales, residing there for the edu, cational and climatic advantages presented.
 Roads ramify in various directions, drawing a heavy trade, and the enterprising business men of the two cities are doing everything possible to improve, extend and shorten the highways they now have and to constr uct new ones. Money is being liberally sub scribed to build a good road 10 the Cananea mountains, about fifty miles to the southeast, where very rich copper and silver minss are producing abundantly A survey for rail way is being made to connect Washington Camp and Duquesne with the N. M.& A. Should the development of coal, now almost assured in Sonora, prove all that is anticipated the rich copper mines in those two camps will be the best place to transfer it from the line of the Sonora railway to the new line, and in that event the line city will be the junction point of the two roads.
 Besides excellent schools the line cities have four churches-two Catholic, one Methodist, societies have strong and fourishing organiz- ations The Masonic order has a handsome temple. and the odd Fellows now have one almost completed. The Masonic building IS a two-storv stone structure, and that of the Odd Fellows is likewise of two stories but of brick. The Montezuma hotel and several others of the business blocks are imposing structures Of brick or stone, and many private residences are very elegant in appearance and finish Like Phoenix, Tucson and many more towns

WHO would have dreamed fifteen years ago
 Nosales that the little nesting amidst the
 roSSsy. hills, called Isaactown. would have grown to such proportions as we find in the Nogales of today. We speak7ot the two towns-Nogales Ariz. and Nogales, Sos' nora-as one, for they are really such, being di- vided by an imaginary line only, which passes along the center of the international strip or more properly speaking street.
 Nogales presents striking and interesting features It is cosmopolitan on one side, while retaining the habits and customs of the southern republic on the other, and at the same time both republics live i'll close accord and amity There are ID jealousies or hatreds to foster discord. The national cele- brations ot the one are attended by the other Necessarily the governments are separate each having distinct headquarters for customs col lections and consulates, but otherwise both the business and social relations and interests are identical There is sufficient wing, however, in the matter of improvements and progress Whenever an important move IS made on one side it is sure to be followed by a like one on the other As an illustration. Some two months ago the legislature of Arizona passed an act creating the county of Santa Cruz and Nogales was made the county seat Now movement is being made OH the Mexican side to have the seat of the district government moved from Magdalena to Nogales, Sonora.
 The Southern Pacific company has absorbed
 
 both the New Mexico X Arizona and the So nora railways, and this is the division point between Benson in Arizona and Guaymas on the Gulf of California.

ALL WRONG.

1t is all wrong because unjust
to interesting parties to adver-
tiSe a sale of realestate, it mat
tiers not whether it is under a
trust or partition sale, in a
Monroe City paper when said
property is in Paris and equally
wrong and unjust to interested
parties TO advertise said proper
ty located in Monroe City and
advertise it in a Paris paper.
Why9 First, the circulation of
Monroe papers is necessarily
small in Paris and as matter
OF fact the circulation of the
Paris papers in Monroe City is
still less. Second, if the ad.
vertisement does not reach the
capitalist and owners of Adult
ing property, the adj is almost
Nit. Why? Because Paris
people do not come to Monroe
to bid on forced sales, nor do
the Monroe people go to Paris
for that purpose, Therefore
the list of bidders or 'wodld be
purchasers is very small. If
the law is faulty lin regard to
partition sales then in the in.
terest of (often) the defenseless
our State Senator and Repre-
sentative should work for an
amendment.

with tanglefoot and then went
to the H. & st. Joe depot for a

noticed a pint flask in his

found it filled with alcohol and
they didn't do a thing but I'M
load the bottle, fill it with we'll
water and replace it in the
sleepe-s pocket. The train
rolled in and the stranger
boarded it. If there ever was
a Disguised man on earth it
must have been him when he
pulled his flask to cool his
coppers and found Adams ale
in it.
