The border vidette. (Nogales, Ariz.) 1894-1934, 1913-10-18


a number of Nogales friends,
respects to General Carranza,
chief of the constitutionalists,
and Governor Maytorena of So
nora, at the constitutionalist
headquarters in Nogales, So
nora. After the meeting, the
mining men expressed them
selves as greatly pleased with
the courteous treatment receiv-
ed at the hands of Gen. Carran-
Ia and Gov. Maytorena, who,
by the-way, is a school mate of
Mr.. Crepin.
Hon. w. A. O'Connor, the we'll
known, successful attorney-a
law, of this city, has been ap-
pointed by Governor Hunt to
fill the unexpired term of Su-
perior Court Judge for Santa
Cruz county, made vacant by
the resignation of Judge Frank
j. Duffy. Judge O'Connor is one
of the best known lawyers in
the state. The retiring Judge
will engage in the private prac-
tice of his profession, in No
gales, where he has resided
many years. We congratulate
him upon the splendid record he
made on the superior judges
bench, and wish his successor,
Judge O'Connor, good luck.
Last Tuesday in this city at
the U. S. customs house there
was held a conference of deputy
collectors for this district. Col
lector of Customs Con O'Keefe
is arranging to go to New York
City to be present at the con-
ference of collectors from all
over the United States. The
conference, which is the first of
its kind ever held, will convene
on the 3rd Of November. Col
lector O'Keefe's resignation was
accepted by President Wilson
some time ago, but as yet his
successor has not been appoint
ed, and Con continues to receive
the big pay check. Con says in
the event that he sees that some
bloomin' Democrat is going to
land the relationship, he will
recommend that the Office be
aDOllShed, at once.
Nogales was honored last Sun
day by the presence of Arizona's
chief executive, Governor Geo.
w. p. Hunt, of Phoenix, who
accompanied the big excursion
from Tucson. The governor has
many personal as we'll as politi-
cal friends in Nogales, all of
- -
here on Elks' Day. The gov
ernor was very much pleased
with his visit here, and said he
enjoyed every minute of his
stay. His meeting with General
Carranza and Governor Mayto-
rena of Sonora, especially pleas
ed Arizona's democratic pro-
gressive governor. The meet
ing was purely social and per-
sonal one, and possessed no
political significance whatever.
A great majority of Nogales'
citizens were pleased at the
meeting on the international
line, as were also a great major
ity of the people of Arizona and
Sonora.
G. w. TOnkinS, Superintep.
dent, and J. E. Bentley, one of
the directors of the La Cobriza
Mining Company, were visitors
here several days ago from the
La Cobriza in Sonora, where
arrangements are being made to
at once renew work in the mine
and smelter. Mr.. Tonkins will
have charge of the mine and
Mr. Mitchell, one of the best
known, most experienced smelt-
err men in the west, will have
charge of the smelter. 1t is
said that La Cobriza is in good
shape, financially and otherwise.
The company has been guar
anteed full protection by the
constitutionalist forces in So
nora, and now that trains are
running regular, La Cobriza will
again become one of the pro-
ducing mines in Sonora. Sec
rotary E. B. Sharpe now makes
his headquarters at Magdalena,
where the offices of the company
are located.
