LOS ANGELES BANK BUYS sl,000,000 0F
 ARIZONA BONDS

Los Angeles, September 12, 1921-
 That Los Angeles bankers are do ing everything in their power to in crease the prosperity of the back country became evident here today when announcement yves made that The First National Bank of Los An geles has purchased S1,00O,0 1000 6 per cent tax anticipation bonds of the State of Arizona at par and accrued interest. with nominal premium, dated September 15, 1921, and pay able September 15, 1922.
 The importance of this purchase to the state of Arizona lies in the fact that wEile Arizona has levied a current tax of more than six million dollars the money has not yet been paid in and as a result state warrants are widely distributed through banks and business houses of Arizona In addition the normal schools and othe1. activities Os the state are having financial difficultieS The sale ot these bonds to The Firts Nat 'onal Bank of Los An@e!es releases ir- mediately one million dollars to the Treasury of the state to take up these warrants. The bonds are a di rect obligation of the state of Ari zona and legal in California. They are legal for postal savings, free oi all federal income tax and are tax free in Arizona
 The purchase of these Arizona bonds is in line with the action ot the First National Bank of Los AR geles in purchasing similar bonds of the state of Utah and in advanc
 ing money to handle the Arizona cotton crop and, cattle industries il the belief that the city of Los An | geles cannot prosper unless it's bacl ! country prOspers.

READY ID BUILD NEW RAILROAD INTO
 OLD MEXICO

Douglas-Forty-se miles of road survey for the Chihuahua and Orient railroad from the properties of the Ahumada Lead company and the Erupcion Mining company in Chihua- hua, Mexico, to a junction with the National railroad of Mexico, at point about 65 miles south of Juarez, has been completed under tha directicIl of T. Hicklin, engineer, who is spend ing a few days in Arizona.
 Stockholders of Erupcion voted re- gently to increase the capital stock of the company from 1000, 900 to 2,0O0,- O00 shares at S1 par to finance the building of the railroad which will be undertaken jointly by Erupcion and Ahumada on 2 basis Of two thirds and one-third respectively. Hicklin will have charge of the con- -struction of the road and will return to Fl PaSo soon to make preliminary plans for the work
 An Easy Route
 Hicklin said that the route is com paratively an easy one and will af- ford a down-g3ade haul from the mines. Ore probably will be shipped to smelters at Fl Paso. via Juarel, .or to smelters in Chihuahua. With the survey completed, Hicklin is now working on estimates and getting maps ready to file with the Mexican government for approval.
 The new railroad, according tC Hicklin, will not be of much import 7ance. except as far as the develop ment of the mining resources of toe country is concerned. The road doe not pass through any agriculture country, but it is bordered by some magnificent grazing country that i' not stocked Hicklin said that there are some good mining prospects I the country and that the building of the railroad will probably resul in their development. Ore already developed on the Erupcion propert! is sufficient to warrant the buildius of the read.
 Hicklin said that the Mexican peo pie of that section are friendly to th' project and that they have all take a friendly attitude toward himsel and his corps of engineers.
 Ajo to Rocky Point
 Hicklin also made the survey fo the proposed railroad from Ajo t Rocky Point, on the Gulf of CalifoI nio, which was completed last May
  1922 miles m length, 521a miles q which will be in Mexico. That par that is in Mexico will be known a the Arizona and Sonora railway an the rest will be an extension of tn Tucson Corneiia and Gila Bend raj road.
 It will take some expensive worl Hicklin said, to develop a harbOr a Rocky Point A breakwater will hay to be built in addition to piers. Tn Gulf of Mexco is generally though of as sort of harbor in itself, bu Hicklin said that the water is some times very rough and that it will b necessary to. protect shipping b building a harbor.
 The route of the proposed road remarkably easy one. Hickli said that practically all of the coul try is desert and that it will not T. suit in much development along tn road.
 As far as is known the AjO Rocky Point has not been finance and there is no intention of unde taking construction work immedi tely.
