 At La Morita, nine miles out from Naco we met some freight teams go- ing into Naco for supplies for the grading camp on the new railway. south of the line. The end of the track is now about niue miles from the junction at Don Luis station and has to go about twelve miles farther to reach the line at the new town of Douglas-or Overlock.as there are two towns there and which is it" is not yet determined. MT. Overlook thinks he has the advantage of location; but the railroad owns the other townsite, which may prove the more substan- tial advantage.
 Special Agent W. E. Pulliam. of the U. s. treasury department, and Col lector w. M. Hoey are arranging to establish sub-port of the district of Arizona at the new town, and it is anticipated that it will be opened for transaction of business shortly after the terminus reaches the line. The Mexican government will also create a sub.port, and as soon as that is done all the Nacosari traffic will go to that point, instead of to Naco, and the dis tance for teaming will be materially shortened.
 Thursday night we stopped at From teras, about forty-fve miles from Naco reaching the place after dark. About sundown we began to feel 8 little anxiety about getting in, aud we inquired the distance of every one we

 We were detained at Naco less than two hours, and got away from the place while it was still early in the morning. The road was most excel lent all the way to Nacosari, and we found it lned with the big freight teams engaged in transportation of supplies to the camp aud the bullion back to the railway.

Fronteras.
 At one point by the roadside VIC found cairn of stones, and inside was two lighted candles. Not a soul was anywhere about, and it seemed weird and uncanny to find the two candles burning there with DO other sign of life anywhere about. Half a mile further along we passed the Mexlcans in camp, and the candles were ex- plained. The cairn behind us marked the last resting place of some of their friends, aud in passing they had light ed and left the candles in commemor- ation of the dead.
 At Fronteras we found Doctor Da- niel L. Cirlos, formerly of Nogales, and MT. Manuel NJ. Hugues, who was formerly connected with Fl Impar- cial, at Guaymas. Doctor Cirlos stated that he was developing a pros pect in the vicinity, and he exhibited some ore which by lamplight looked as if it might be wolfram but we could not determine.
 The doctor took lantern and kind ly piloted us to the stage station, where Mrs. Taft, wife of the proprie- tor of the stage line, who was aroused from her bed, kindly prepared us an excellent upper. which we ate with great relish. We were also given good beds, and in the morning Mrs. Taft served most excellent break fast. Her biscuits were just like those mother used to make," and her coffee was nearly so good as that I get at home. And the price charged was moderate.

He said the distance was eight cen miles. He also charged us ten cents each for the water our animals drank. MT Harper remarked that he could respect a man who would sell whiskey, but he had no use for one who will sell water. He also told us we would find no more water until we got to Fronteras. That we found palpable mistatement. as five miles from Fronteras we found plenty of water, in fact it was running to waste, across the road in several p.aces.
 About mile beyond where we paid for the water we asked teamster we met the distance to Fronteras and were told 1t was twelve miles.

Harper. owner of the Dos Cabezas mine, which property is situated in the Sierra Madre dt point near the Chi huahua line, 135 miles east of Mocte- zuma, aud THE OASIS man reached Bisbee, both bent upon reaching Ma cosari and Moctezuma as quickly as possible. We soon learned that the stage for Nacosari had gone that morning and that another would not leave until Friday morning. Shortly aiterward man driving fine team of dapple grey horses hitched to light mountain wagon with canopy top inquired of the scribe If he wished to be taken to Nacosari, and upon re- ceiying an affirmative reply said he was open to an engagement. Stating a price that was more than reasonably cheap he was immediately engaged, subject to our ability to get him a pass for his team to go into Mexico under bond.
 Going to telephone in neighbor- i0g store, Mir. Max Gavito, Mexican consul at Naco, was called up and in avery few minutes that gentleman had conveyed the information that the required bond would be readily furnished and the pass granted upon our arrival at the line. So arrange ments were speedily made, and Thurs day morning we made the start from Bisbee, the owner of the rig engaged, a man named Eason, having substtut- ed his team of handsome greys with a span of speedy an1 hardy mules which hustled us across the country at great rate, making stage time all the way, and giving us opportunities to stop at various places, which the stage could not or would not have done. And the cost was but little more than the stage fare. We found MT. Eason companionable gentle man and his quaint humor and fund Of reE iscence proved very entertain ing.
 MT. Harper also proved a very en- tertaining travelling companion, and the two days passed iu covering the road between Bisbee and Nacosari were as pleasant as any ever passed by the writer.
 Two of Eason's stories related to the cattle business and will bear re- beating. One was of man who who raised thoroughbred Hereford bulls TOT saie. Hc had half breed bull and some half breed cows, and he insisted Inat their progeny were thorough oreds because two halves make whole.
 The other was of man who bought atranload of Mexican cattle of the variety produced before the process of grading up had commenced They were large in size but deceptive in ~ppedrance.
