tory in Nogales, Sonora, and a
machine shop and foundry in No
gales, Arizona. The same fields
that have made possible those two
enterprises will be open to exploita-
tion by the other enterprises out
lined herein, when established, and
the development Of the great region
stretching hundreds of miles south
ward from the international boun-
Diary will make all great, perma-
nent and profitable enterprises.
And there are other openings
beside those enumerated in this
article which offer opportunities as
great.

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY.

Mr.. Sidney Kimbrough, who has
had long and successful expert
ence in dry farming in Texas and
Oklohoma, has taken up quarter
section of land in the San Rafael
valley, where he is confident he
has found a good opening for the
operation of that particular meth
Cd of agriculture.
Some two or three weeks ago the
little son of Mr.. w. E. Bower of
Camille, suffered a broken arm by
being thrown from a burro. The
little fellow was taken to Tomb
stone where Doctor Bacon set the
injured member. The lad has re-
covered entirely, and on Sunday
Mr.. Bower went with him to
Tombstone to have the splints re.
moved, returning home at evening
of the same day.
Wednesday and Thursday the
San Rafael rache of the Cananea
Cattle Company was visited by
Mr.. Milton Perrine of Bisbee, rep
resenting the Calumet Il Arizona
Copper Company, whose mission
was to buy lot of mules for the
big mining corporation in Ari-
zona's great mining camp. He
drove from Hereford around the
south end of the Huachuca noun
tains. Returning to Hereford
Thursday Mr.. Perrine was accom-
panied by Mr.. R. NJ. Ashford, su-
perintendent for the company, who
went to Lochiel from Nogales on
Tuesday.
Experts and others experienced
in artesian irrigation who have
visited the San Rafael valley, in
Santa Cruz county on the east side
of the Patagonia mountains, ex-
press belief that artesian water
may be developed in that valley
by boring to no great depth. Mr..
Colin Cameron relates that some
years ago he sank a well in the
, upper part of the valley at the en-
trance of that valley into the
| Meadow valley. They sunk thirty
) feet, at which depth they encoun-
tered a strong flow of water. Then
with the aid of powerful centri-
fugal pump six feet deeper was ac-
) complished, when the flow became
5 SO strong that the pump could not
cope with it. The rising water
: quickly filled the we'll to within
: six feet of the surface, where it ran
. off into a layer of sand which alb
sorbed it. Mr.. Cameron thinks
i that had the sand been covered by
s Il casing the water would have
4 flowed over the surface. Mr.. Sid
Y ney Kimbrough, who located ir
: the valley last year, and has hac
: experience in we'll boring, says tht
valley presents every indication o
n having an artesian flow beneath.

The development of the new
regions in Mexico that will be
opened by the extensive railway
construction now in hand on the
west coast of that republic will
create u market for many COM
modities which will be in every
day use in quantities so large that
Nogales as the nearest source OF
supply will offer great opportuni-
lis for investment of capital on a
large scale in the manufacture of
some, and importation of others.
Mexico levies a very high protec-
tive tariff upon many articles and
commodities that can be manu-
iactured within the republic, and
besides that the freight rate upon
some bulky commodities is so great
that it would work an additional
protection to the manufacturer. A
better point for their manufacture
than is Nogales cannot be found.
In the first place the climatic adj
vantages OF the place are such that
the productiveness of the labor
employed is enhanced greatly over
other and more inconveniently
located places in the same or lower
attitudes and at or near the sea
level. This advantage is estimated
at about 2596. Then cheap stea m
coal is assured which will be very
important and economical advan-
tage. The four items mentioned
viz: A high protective tariff
climatic advantage, cheap steam
fuel and high freight rates on com.
modities from Eastern or California
factories will all give to Nogales
Sonora, great advantage in certain
lines of manufacture that canno
fail to make capital therein very
remunerative.
One of the greatest opportunities
of the kind suggested in the fore
going paragraph would be founC
in the establishment and operation
Of an extensive carriage and wagol
factory. The freight from Easter
factories to Nogales and the dutie
into Mexico upon vehicles of al
kinds are such that their cost t
the purchaser in Sonora or othe
states on the west coast of Mexic
are about double their cost to thos
who buy them in the states wher
they are made. The tariff duty Of
wagons into Mexico is twenty-tw
cents per kilo (Mexican money,
The weights of such vehicles var
from 500 to 1000 kilos. So it
calculated easily that the duty o
wagon would vary from $110 o

The freight on such wagons froI

be seen that with freight and dut
together there would be prote'
tlon on wagons for the Nogalt
manufactures varying from $40
$l4O, varying according to tt
weight of the vehicle. Scores
carloads of such vehicles cross tt

establishment OF the kind is at
Dallas, Texas. One at Nogales !
would supply all of Arizona, part
of New Mexico, and all the west
coast of Mexico, and there is no
doubt that its wares would find
customers all along the coast to
Panama. Nogales, Arizona, would
be better location, perhaps, than
Nogales, Sonora; but such an en-
terprise, once established, would be
money maker. TO swing it
would require quite capital.
There would have to be an invest
ment of several thousand dollars
in the special presses needed for
the work, and in the power to drive
them, while there would have to
be carried in stock all the time
several carloads of paper in rolls
Of various sizes and paper bags of
great variety; and with all there
should be a good building to house
the plant and store the stock.
That is one of the projects THE
OASIS has always wanted to en-
brace, but up to this time has been
unable to realize the capital neces-
sary to swing it.
The demand on the west coast of
Mexico for agricultural and irriga-
ton machinery of all kinds is
great and growing one. All the
river valleys present fine areas of
rich arabic land, susceptible of the
highest state of cultivation, under
which the returns will be great
and uninterrupted. In the Yaqui
delta alone there are about 600, 900
acres, while the delta of the Mayo
offers an acreage two-thirds as
wide, all of which will be under
cultivation within a very short
period of time. Beyond the Mayo
is the Fuerte river, ard from that
to Culiacan a distance of 800
miles is an area sixty miles
wide, nearly every acre of which is
susceptible of the most extensive
and profitable cultivation. With
the advent of the railway the lands
| instanced will be sought by home
seekers, and their breaking and
cultivation will require millions Of
: dollars worth of agricultural

1T would be a money maker right
from the start, while the increase
in consumption that will follow
surely the development of the
region to which Nogales is the
gateway would develop the indus
try within a few years to one of
great magnitude.
Much of the raw material for use
in construction of wagons would |
be supplied from native sources.
In the Pineta mountains, not far
from Nogales, and within "a dozen
miles OF the new railway building
now to Cananea, is body of fine
oak timber which can be drawn
upon for a supply for some of the
parts of the wagons made here.
Mesquite trees of various sizes,
growing in all parts of Sonora and
Southern Arizona would supply
good material for hubs and felloes
for the wheels. In the period pre-
ceding the construction Of the
Torres q Prietas railway, all the
freight to the great mining camp
at Minas Prietas was freighted
from Torres in wagons, and there
was in constant use, hauling lum-
Der, timber, machinery and mine
supplies generally, a large wagon
train of the heaviest freight wagons.
They were built in the shop of the
Creston- Colorado Mining Com
pany, at La Colorado, and the i'm.
mense hubs and heavy felloes of
the great wheels of those wagons
were made from the native mes
quite, which was found very SER
/ viceable and durable for the pur-
pose. Some of the other woods
used in the construction of the
+, wagons, such as ash and hickory,
I, would have to be imported, but
1 they would enter Mexico free of
duty, while the freight on the
wood in the rough would take a
J, low rate.
Incarriages, buggies, phetons, etc.,
t the profits of manufacture at this
Y point would be as tremendous fully
as those demonstrated possible in
s the manufacture of wagons. Upon
: such vehicles the duties are very
d high. Upon vehicles of that des-
n cription weighing 500 kilos or less
n the tariff duty into Mexico is sixty.
n six cents per kilo. Where the
IS vehicle weighs more than 500 kilos
Il the duty is sixty-six cents for the
o first $50 kilos and ffty-fve cents
IT per kilo for the rest up to $50 kilos
o A light buggy weighing 300 kilo'
e would pay duty of $3.50, Mexican
e money. A barouche weighing 60(
n kilos would pay 1857. A vehicle
. weighing $50 kiIos or more woulC
}. pay duty of $495. What create
y and better protection than tina
is could be asked by any infant in
