times Of peace you are still
helping to hght the great battles

AS SEEN BY A VISITOR

The Redwood City California;
Times-Gazette, of December 13, pres
ented the following short account of
N gales, taken from personal let
ter written to resident of that vi
cinity, which gives the writer's i'm
preston of Nogales, in way that is
very interesting:
Dranzy A. Jones who left recently
to take charge of certain mining in
terests in old Mexico as engineer and
who, with his crew, are outfitting at
Nogales preparatory to crossing the
border, writes very complimentary
praises of the elevated city. Supplies.
meals, etc., are much higher than in
San Francisco. This is a very veal
thy town and with splendid business
opportunities; beautiful stone and
brick houses all over the hills to the
west; stores filled with costly furni-
ture and goods. 1t is higher in eleva-
tion than Hetchy Hetchy, being 1868
feet above sea level; which makes a
delightful climate, neither too hot nol
too cold, although so far south, being
1121 miles from San Francisco. There
is big army post here with large
modern hospital and you see soldiers
in evidence all around. There is high
barbed wire fence through one of the
principal streets, as dividing line
between the United States and Mex
leo; on one side you see scores of
Uncle Sans soldier boys and on the
of her, those of Mexico. Most all of
the business houses have moved to
the American side of the line. At the
municipal market on the Mexican
side there were loads and loads of
vegetables of all kinds, the finest
have ever seen, they are brought up
from Magdalena, where it is much
lower and warmer. This is an absolu-
,tely dry town, all the old stock used
up. Arizona having been legally and
figuratively dry for over three years;
not so over the bordere."
