 ment for roads through the state of

 work is being pushed on the extension
 to Nacozari. There is a possibility, accompanied by frequent rumor, that the C.. Y. R. < P. and the Nacozari roads may consolidate. but it is an assured fact that one or the other will be extended to the Gulf of California.
 If this were not so, why should cap ital be so ready to invest in advance of the project? In the Sahuaripa dis trict, many big companies are Oper- ating. The Santa Nino, or Yaqui Cop per company, capitalized for twenty millions, with W. C.

Then there are the Barran- cas, the largest coal and only natural coke fields in the Mexican republic. which add to the items of interest to investors, and will also be a great in- ducement to the railroad companies
 While there are very few gold mines in Sonora. there are as fine silver and copper propositions as are to be found anywhere in the republic. Few prop critics have been developed to any great extent, but those which have, prove that with depth the bodies grow richer-an important feature where capital seks an investment.

natives call it, drains a country ricf not only in the way of mineral de posits, but arable as any fertile valley of our territory. The Mormons, who are by nature pioneers, have seen the riches of the Mexican soil, and So nora has it's settlements of these thrifty people.
 Every day brings news of the dis covery of mineral ground, and Doug las, perhaps more than any town on the border, has it's coteries of mining men who have banded together for the exploration and development of the neighboring state of our sister re- public.
 The Hidalgo Mining company. com posed of some of the most stable of Douglas merchants, is operating the Hidalgo properties; the Providencia Gold and Silver Mining company, To- cated on the same ledge, and between the famous San Jose and Churumia- bani of the Hidalgo company, has cap italized for an even million, and is pushing development work, and the Atlas Exploration and Mining con- pany is continually buying, develop ing and selling properties throughout the state of Sonora. At present the attention of this company is settled on the Pavo Rico mine, a silver and copper proposition.
 The everlasting vim and hustle of the American prospector, backed by unlimited American capital, are work ing an amazing revolution in the min ing industry of Mexico. Like human ants, thousands of prospectors. from almost every state in the union. are swarning through the republic of Mex ico in search of the wealth hidden in the greatest mineral stoTehouse of the world. These same prospectors. aid ed as they are by capital, are giving an impetus to Mexican mining which will, in a few years. place that country first on the list in the production of gold and copper, a position it now occupies with respect to silver. Six years ago there were only three com panies actively engaged in mining in the Moctezuma district. They were the Phelps-Dodge company, the San Miguelito Mining company and the Nina Roy company. at the Pillares de Torres. The entire northern DOT ton of Sonora was, comparatively speaking, unknown to the financial agents of the United States. Note the

 The Mexican government, under Porfrio Diaz, is welcoming with out stretched armsthe American financial invasion The laws are framed to promote, not hinder, the development of the mining industry. Transports tion facilities are fast becoming the equal of those in the United States.
 There are hundreds of mining claims in the hands of reliable com panies, which offer good opportu- mites to investors. There are also some companies who are representing wildcat schemes to the investing pub lie, in the same manner as they work the graft" in the United States.
 The mining laws of Mexico are very liberal, giving to foreigners the same rights as Mexicans. The legitimate industry is open to all, and all un- claimed mineral lands are open to de- nouncement, whether on government or private properties. In the latter case, damages must be paid to the owner or owners of the land on which mineral is found these damages being set in accordance with the actual in jury done the land on which opera tions were conducted.
 A Mexican mining claim, called a pertenencia, consists of ten thousand square metres, one hundred metres on a side. or about two and one-half acres, when compared with our sys- tenn of measurement A fee of ten dollars must be paid on taking up each claim (pertinencia), and an an- nual tax of ten dollars forever after ward paid on the same, so that the first year of ownership calls for an outlay of twenty dollars, and each year thereafter a payment of ten dollars on each pertinencia, or claim.
 There Is no limit to the number of claims that may be held by any one person or corporation. Should the locator fail to pay his annual tax, the claim is thrown open to denounce- ment. Taxes may be paid in three installments. namely: March 1st. July 1st and November 1st.

To the south of Douglas, and the Nacozari railroad, with q northern terminus at ti;is point, lie the gold and copper fields of the Mexican state Of Sonora, the treasurehold o1 the republic. Close to us, and reaChel only through Douglas, are the famous Phelps-Dodge mines, the Mcctezuiua; :; the Fl Tigre, which lateiy startled the mining world with it's fabulous riches of gold, and score of smaller yet big producing properties. The Phelps Dodge company today are extending their railroad lines from Cos, the pres ent southern terminus, to Nacozari for the purpose of covering for transportation the districts now re- mote from civilization. Throughout the entire state of Sonora, the brains, Drawn and capital of Yankee enter prise is making itself felt, and making tributary to Douglas one Of the richest mineral sections ever discovered. Every train that comes from the southland across the border brings fresh news of another strike, and each south-bound train bears capital, or it's representatives, to investigate the al most incredible tales. Scarce one returns without having invested in the mineral field, and we have yet to record the dissatisfaction or loss of one investor.
 Says a well known mining man and by the term is meant one who has invested and is reaping the harvest of his outlay-operating in the Sahuaripa district of Sonora: In regard to the possibilities of this part of Sonora sometimes referred to as the Yaqui country-I will say that the majority of mining men who have investigated the mineral resources of the country traversed by the Rio Yaqui, state that the northern portion of the Alamos district, the eastern portion of the Ures district, and the district of Sa- huaripa comprise the greatest mineral storehouse in the state The day is not far distant when this vicinity will furnish its pro rata of the wealth of the republic"
 The Americans of Sonora feel that while they are at present placed at a disadvantage in regard to transporta- tion, this will be overcome by the confidence which capital is gradually gaining in Sonora. And they are right, for the Cananea. Yaqui River & Sonora and the Fl Paso & South
