Dwight Heard Enthusiastic
Mr.. Dwight y. Heard. accompanied
by a party OF eastern bankers came
by auto to Patagonia from Phoenix
this week and stopped here for =
short time. The gentlemen had Just
been TO Nogales where they had a
talk with the people OF NOgIles and
made a flat proposition 10 take any
and all bonds OF Santa Cruz county
" henever offered for sale. We are
astonished TO say the least, at what
We have seen in the Santa Cruz com
pany," said Mr. Heard. We have al
WAYS thought you had nothing but
desert out here and We find so many
wonderful things and your big mines
are beyond comprehension. We have
plenty OF money to invest and have
picked out Santa Cruz county as
place to spend il and believe We have
made no mistake. The fact that the
Copper Queen have bonded so many
good properties in your district also
is another indication that things are
going to be real lively in your sec
ton We understand that very favor
able reports are being made on the
Worlds Fair and If the Phelps Dodge
interest takes that over II means an
other railroad through from Huachr-
ca 70 Nogales. making Patagonia one
OF its largest stations. They have a
survey now down the valley and up
through Washington camp and the
Worlds Fair via Harshaw and this
would mean a large tonnage for them
and also open up many smaller pro
perties which would begin shipping
soon as the road got started. We
will be back again sOea and most like
" start bank here and do all we
can to help develop your wonderful
country"
