 Moctezuma's Support. The trade which supports the town
 of Moctezuma comes principally from
 the mines operated in the vicinity and from mining men who must go there
 to transact business in the mining of- | flee of the district. which is presided over by Don Fernando Sanchez. Be low Moctezuma there is some very ! rich mineral country. including the | Sahuaripa district, where there has been discovered and partially devel- oped large veins of copper, some of which promise to rival those of Can anea and Nacozari. Besides copper there are rich silver mines not far from Moctezuma, including the Monte Cristo, owned by c. c. Soto, and the
 Lampassas, owned by Lie. Miguel A Lopez. The Monte Cristo has a mill which has been steadily turning out bullion for several years. Mr. Soto
 is shipping his ores and the last ship ment of twenty-two tons gave him net return of S10,000.
 What is known as the Ballotal dis l trict is located twenty-five miles east
 of Moctezuma and here considerable | work is being done. The Aguila de
 Guerra property is under bond to Fran
 cisco Gallego, the prominent merchant.
 Twenty men have been at work and from Ss,OOO to s1O,OG0 has been spent 1 in development work recently. The
 ore value is found in silver and lead. The Shamrock mine in this district | is owned by s. J. Eubanks and F. J. 1 O'Riley. A. tunnel has been started
 on the property and indications are very favorable for developing good
 values.
 The Ballotal group, from which the | district takes its name, comprises a number of claims, showing large veins
 of oxidized silver ore. Considerable
 work has been done on this property and some or the nIgn graue ore nas i been shipped, bringing returns ui 5S0 ounces of silver and some gold value. l This property is owned by O. l.. Neer, l c. c. Soto and F. B. Hyder.
 | Besides the trade from the mines | Moctezuma gets much trade from the ranchmen in that section of the coun- | try. The survey of the Southern Pa | cific touches Moctezuma and with the
 completion of that line the place is destined to take on much added i'm
 portance, both in trade and popula- | tiOn
