MEXICO'S NEW LAW
AIDS DEVELOPMENT

A law has been recently enacted by
the national government of Mexico
which, promises to do much towards the
development of the natural resources of
the republic The law was enacted pri-
marily for the advancement of agricul-
tural development by guaranteeing
mortgage loans on lands through
government agricultural and mortgage
bank. AS a general development act
it cannot help but have a very impor-
tant, although indirect bearing on min
eral development. The law provides
that lands may be bonded for the de-
velopment Of water power, and other
improvements, and mortgage loans to
be guaranteed by the government
through banks which will be establish
ed, or receive concessions to handle
these loans on lines similar to the
Gary act Of the United States
The stockholders of the Bank OF So
nora already have been granted the con-
cession for such bank in Sonora

MEXICAN NICKEL MINES
PRODUCING RICH ORES

Very little is known about nickel
mining among average mining men
who have spent their lives in gold and
silver camps, but il is a fact that a
good nickel mine pays better than the
average gold or silver mine.
J. NJ. Benham and George w Slater,
Of Oakland, Cal. are interested in nick
ell mines in Mexico which promise to
make big paying propositions with
proper development. Out of 10 average
samples taken from two of their nickel
mines the lei Colorado" and the lei
Cometa,' the lowest average per ton
was s53.25 and the highest $115.50- At

and no hanging wall had been discov-
cred. The ore occurs in fissure veins
which have every sindication Of great
depth. The only two other places
where nickel is produced in quantity is
in Sudbury, Canada, and New Caledo-
MIA.
