Upon this page this week there is presented a map of the West Coast of Mexico, which shows at glance the commanding position of Nogales in the great railway sys- tenn now in course of construction, which will develop all the Pacific Coast states of the great republic joining the United States on the south, connecting them with their federal capital, from which they have been. isolated and apart al- ways; and connecting them also with the colossal railway system of the United States. When com pleted the system under construc- ton will embrace nearly, If not quite two thousand miles of rail- way in the Republic of Mexico, over which will pass an enormous traffic, and Nogales will be the gateway through which it will pass.
 The longest and most important of the lines mentioned will extend from Nogales to Guadalajara, a distance of some 1250 miles, con meeting there with the great central railway system of the republic, now in operation, and giving direct rail communication between the line city and the federal capital. Along the route are strung many of the finest cities in the neighborlng re- public, including Hermosillo, Guay- mas, Culiacan, Mazatlan, San Bias, Topic and Guadalalara. From the neighboring state of Sonora will come a great traffic in all the va ned agricultural and horticultural products of the rich and fertile deltas of the Yaqui and Mayo riv. CTS, destined in the near future to rival the far famed valley of the Nile, "the granary of the ancient world" which supports now a pop ulation of seventeen millions of people. Beside the immense volume of traffic which will be developed in the deltas of the two rivers named, there will be the traffic that will originate in the mining regions of Sonora, one of the oldest in America and most widely known mineral regions on the face of the earth, whose wonderful riches pour ed into the lap of Europe in the days of the cOnquistddores and the centuries following, evoked the wonder and admiration of the civ illzed world. That wonderful stream ot wealth which poured across the continent and over the Atlantic to spain, came from a reservoir of Natures own making which has been hardly touched as yet. In the days of the conquiStadores, and until within quarter of century man had not discovered the secret oi wrestling from the bowels of the earth the ultimate ounce of the gold and silver there contained and the crude processes of that day permitted working of only the richest mines, to depths that seem insignificant now. In these days 0i aeep mining and elaborate pro oeSSes of extraction, heavy and costly machinery have become ar

ations producing leaf rivalling the most famous grown in the magic soil and climate of "the ever faithful isle," its coffee and sugar, and it's forests of rare and valuable woods with great and extensive mineral resources beside.
 And beyond is the great state of Jalisco, with Guadalajara, one of the most beautiful and most wealthy of the Mexican cities as its capital; a state rich in manufacturing, agri- cultural, commercial and mineral resources.
 All the states named are remark able in the natural beauty of their scenery, and the antique charm and glamour of their cities. They will be always attractive and de- lightful to tourist travel, and their fame and romantic history will draw each season thousands of vis- itors, who will find always that their trip will be robbed of one of its most interesting details unless in passing they pay visit to the line city.
 But to return to the map, and nearer to the hub, it will be observ- ed that from Nogales there leads in southeasterly direction another line of railway, part of the same system, passing Cananea, Arizpe, Cumpas, Moctezuma and Batuc, to the Yaqui river, and on down that stream, intersecting the other line described hereinbefore at Cor raj, the point where the Guadala- jara line crosses the Yaqui, which is some three hundred miles distant from Nogales. That route will traverse some of the greatest and richest mineral regions on the con- tinent, and through the gateway of Nogales will put them in commu- nication with the world at large.
 Yet third line, which the artist drawing the map failed to present, will intersect the line described in the preceding paragraph at point short distance beyond Cananea, continuing eastward to the big bend of the Bavispe river, will follow that stream southward to it's confluence with the Yaqui, down that stream to a junction with the other line, at the confluence of the ! Yaqui and Moctezuma rivers, near the town of Suaqui de Batuc. This third line will connect with the system the great mining region rendered famous by the noted Lucky Tiger mine, the Roy mine, the great Cinco de Mayo property, and other properties, that have been known to fame as great and almost fabulous producers. And beside the rich mining regions of the Ba : vispe, this line will open to ex- ploitation one of the greatest forest belts on the North American con tinent, whose virgin supply of timber and lumber will be made available.
 And omission must not be made of the branch railway to Alamos, which was opened to traffic in the beginning of the present year, that has placed in touch with the world at large a mining region which has been an unintermittent producer during a period of more than two | centuries, numbering in it's list of great mines such names as Quin- terra, Promontorio, and Zambona.
