25,OOO ACRES |S ANNOUNCEMENT
 MADE
Arizpe District Fully Examined By Experts for Six Months, and Now the Development Is On In Earnest,

Moctezuma Arizpe Development Co.,. as it is known under the Mexi- can organization sustained in accord with the laws C. the Republic, or Arizpe Mining as 1t is known under the corporation maintained in the United States and under which it's principal business affairs are con- duCted, the Mexican corporation be- ing merely a holding organization, has been engaged in the requirement and prospecting of it's property dur ing less than three years, says the Cananea Herald. Until the middle of last year the Announcements of the company were not compact, selection having been made from time to time of the best prospects which was found in the course of the work per sistently carried along under the di- rection of C.

 The big announcement of Arizpe Development was made immediately following expiration of the first con cession under which the section had been held. The step was taken after an extended period of prospecting during which there were many ledges and Assure veins carrying ore found in places where they had not been known to exist beftre. The discov- cries of surface showings accompany ing the work were, in fact, nothing less than remarkable, justifying in the highest degree the requirement Of the ground.
