With very few exceptions every tax payer in Nogales favored the re elect ion of the old city council, City Marsh al James Moore. and City Clerk Carl M. Rathoun, and their election was made unanimous. Last Tuesday night the city dads, city marshal and city clerk were sworn in and Hon. John T. Brick wood unanimously chosen Mayor. Dr. A. 4. Doherty and A. l.. Peck. the Street Committee, are still Ut, " and the splendid work of improving the city will continue under their able direction. Nogales is proud of her
 
 John Symonds, assistant manager of the Torres Prietas railroad, owned by his sister Mrs Seymour. is a visitor in the city, from Torres, accompanied by his little son Ernest. Mir. Symonds has resided in Sonora many years and is well and favorably known all over the state. He is interested in \ number of valuable mining claims out in the mountains where for many years the Yaqui Indians have had their strong hold. and just as soon as the peace negotiations are completed between the Indians and Mexican government, he will develop the property. At the present time white flags pleced by the Yaquis, can be seen at many places in the vicinity of Torres and Minss PIietas. and Mir. Symonds says it is only a matter of a short time when the Yaqui question will be settled for good and mining in Sonora will flourish as never before in the history ot the state.
 z John Henderson, the mining man after spending several days in Nogales on business connected with his min ing property in Sonora. has gone to Tucson. Mir. Henderson is now de- voting all his attention to his private interests, which include O numbe of the most valuable mining properties in the state of Sonora, where for more than quarter of century he has successfully engaged in mining. John Henderson was one of the first "grin- gos' to enter the Minas Prietas dis trict where at me time he owned me of the great bonanza mines from which vast fortunes have been realized. It is said Mir. Henderson has at the pre- sent time a number of deals on the tapis. which, if consummated, will at once place him in the millionaire class. P. Slndaval G Go of Nogsles, Sonora, have for a number of years been associated with MT. Henderson. A stronger combination would be hard to find.
