In Lower California
The United States consul at La Paz,
in the peninsula of Lower California,
recently reported to his government as
follows:
1.-THE mining resources here, which
have always been looked upon with a
great uGdl VI lOpS, dIS DClilS
prospected for at different points, and
an occasional find of rich streak has
been sufficient to supply matter for
sensational articles for some news
papers. At times 1t would seem that
these were magnified Intentionally, in
order to create a rush to this district
there are, however, without doubt
good many lodges Of gold, silver and
copper in this district, which, owing to
the difficulties and lack of frequent
communication, have never been devel-
oped, and still await the coming of
civilization and enterprise. In this
line there exists a number of prospects
which would warrant an investigation"
Thomas Bros. & Metcalf of Los An
geles, lately engaged in real estate,
have large interests in mining property
in the Choix district in Mexico. The
property is operated by the Choix Con-
soldated Mining company. The mines,
which are located on the line of the
Kansas City, Mexico & Orient railroad,
are said to contain vast quantities of
high grade ores in gold and copper.
