NOGALES.
Every Citizen Should Help Make
1t the Best Town on the
BOrder-Mining and Other
Important Interests.

For many years Nogales, our border
town. was the main gateway and
central point for all communication and
business in the State of Sonora. When
the Cananeas were hut little known,
the way to those immense mines was
through Nogaies. Now of course
this great mineral country has a port
of entry of its own and the tremend-
Gus amount of business which would
have come this way before now goes
into Sonora through the new port of
entry. Its extent and value is too
we'll known to need 'recapitulation
here. We are only too glad that the
extent as to require its own railroad
and other modern facilities that are
demanded by our twentieth century
civilization.
The Cananeas, one of the greatest
copper producing camps in the world,
is now a very isy centre unto itself,
and its lines of connection are extend
ing to Nacosari, the immense copper
property of the Phelps, Dodge Com
pany, which also owns an extensive
reduction plant.
Where the limit of this development
will cease is very difficult to prognost-
icate, as Mexico at the present time,
land especially the State of Sonora) is
receiving more attention in every
history, and although the preponderance
of the above business is now lost to
NOgales, we are very confident and
certain that the country contiguous to
and the whole eastern line of So
nora, has bright future and is going
to develop to such an extensive
degree, that Nogales will require and
demand an expansion of her size and
Importance that has never before been
dreamed of. Why should not several
centres develop as big as the Cana
meas, not only in the red metal, but
in the white metal, gold, iron and
coal, besides the manufacturing under
takingsl See the big mines that are
already opened up, those undergoing =
development, and the promising pros
poets only awaiting the coming of
apit al and labor to win their valuable
hidden treasures.
The country south of Nogales

cent more attention last year if it had
not been set back owing to the pla que
scare and the Yaqui CD uprisings,
which only had their existence in the
fertile brains of the yellow journal
correspondents. However, these posi-
bilities have not been lost, but are
now again only making themselves
felt. The enterprises that were in
active operation have never ceased to
continue their activity; others that
might have been developed have only
been delayed, and the tide of pros
perity is now coming on and begin
ming to make itself felt.
Such camps as Minas Prietas, La
Colorado, Mulatos, La Bufa and others
too well known to mention, Civ,

ency of these old wealth producers
With other properties probably o
equal promise coming to the front.
Just at present there are severa
that are receiving conspicuous atten-
ton. 1t is understood there is dea

California for the whole of their prop
critics, comprising the mines and mill
at Cerro Pinto and Quitovaquita, anG

counts, is developing very promisin:

miles from Altar, is working continu
ously and turning out bullion. Th'
