The border vidette. (Nogales, Ariz.) 1894-1934, 1923-03-10
REGION OF FUTURE PROSPERITY

When passing through Noga-
les recently on his return from
Sonora. Chas. B. Ward, remark.
ed to the editor of The Demo.
crat, that people often asked
him for advise as to investments
and that since looking into the
west coast country. he always
told them 'Nogales and the west
coast of Mexico"
That Mr.. Ward is not handing
out advise to his friends which
he himself. is not willing to fol-
low is attested by the fact that
be is now interested in several
mining properties in Sonora, and
has in addition purchased large
tract of land in the vicinity of
Hermosillo very recently.
Mr.. Ward is a man of wide
business experience, and is wide.
ly known as a conservative in.
vestor, due to the fact that he
has made few mistakes in the
past, and has almost invariably
foretold the future and placed
his money where future develop
ments have proven his foresight
and wisdom. Nogales welcomes
him as a booster for the line
city. and the country tributary
to it, and sincerely hopes that
be and his friends who follow
his advise will reap profits com.
mensurate with their foresight.
He was not one Of the crowd
who refused to put his money
into Mexico until the Harding
administration should grant for.
NAL recognition; but foressing
the tide OF prosperity which
must come to the great west
coast, with the business like ad
ministration of the Obregon gov.
ernment, went in when lands,
mines and other property could
be had cheap, and had the cour-
age to advise his friends and
clients to follow his lead.
Since that time the Richard
son Construction Co. has it's con-
cessions renewed, with ample
allowance for damages suffered
by it aud its property during the
revolutionary period; the South
ern Pacific of Mexico has had
it's concessions restored and it's
claim for damages allowed in
great part, with additional rights
given it in the way of tide water
terminals; and the Mexican con
gress has undertaken the re.
vision of the undesirable feat.
ures of the Carranza constitu,
tion.
Mr.. Ward and the people who
followed his lead, are now in on
the ground floor while those who
have waited for recognition are
likely to pay a much. higher
price to share in the prosperity,
which is sure to come this year
to the great country to the south

bODIE MINE MAY
STAGE COME-bACK

A press dispatch from San Fran
cisco states that a California min
ing bureau has made the following
announcement concerning the once
famous mining district of Bodie, To-
Gated in Mono county:
"Bodie, one of the most famous
old mining camps of the west, re-
mains quiescent, as it has been for
the past several years.
"Leasers are working in a small
way in the Standard mine, owned by
J. S. Cain, and occasional mill runs
are made in the mill of that prop
erty, which is in excellent condi-
ton.
"A surface discovery on the site
of the old Goodshaw mine was
made recently, which aroused con-
siderable interest among the few
remaing inhabitants of the town. A
small amount of work at a point
where no outcroppings were at all
revealed quartz which PANIED very
rich in gold. Additional work might
easily open up something which
would help revive interest in this
district, which has a production
record of $25,O00,000 to $3O,00O,-
900 since its discovery in 1860.
Immense dumps, said to average
as high as SIS in gold per ton, will
some day undoubtedly be cyanided
or otherwise treated at Bodie, even
if no new ore bodies of any extent
are brought to light"

Company, reports a condition Oh
General prosperity throughout the

The railway man said that mining
conditions looked unusually good
at Tonopah and Ely, that stock con
ditions were evidence of prosperity
on the ranges, with winter favor
able. while the ranchers OF Fallon
and Fernley are making plans for
planting an acreage of canteloupes
that will probably produce market
age of from five hundred to SIX
hundred cars during the late sum-
mer and fall of 1928.
ION account of the faith OF john
Kirchen, president of the Mime
Owners Association in his deep
mining project he said, "the out
look at Tonopah is better today than
at the time of its discovery.
"The Nevada Consolidated MIN
ing Company and the Steptoe smell

900 pounds of blister copper daily.

smelter of Ely has that outfit in bet

DEMOCRATS FAR
IN THE MINORITY

Although the Republicans out
,umber the Democrats in both
houses of the legislature two to one'
there is not a two-thirds majority

With harmonious relations between
the executive and the legislature

mo to know that the legislature
cannot pass a bill over the COVER
nor's veto unless some Democrats
help.
The Senate comprises six Demo
Gratis and IL Republicans, and the
Republicans fall short by one OF a
two-thirds majority. The assembly
includes 10 Democrats, Fl Repub-
licans, two independent Republi-
cans and one Independent. With a
two-thirds majority computed at
25. the house, with the Independent
Republicans and the independent,
can summon at best only "a non

M DERM|T HAPPY
WITH RADIO SET
Town Farthest From Railroad of Any
In the United States Greatly
Enjoys Radio; Gun Club Is
Challenged Once More

One must concede that McDermitt
has at least one public spirited and
philanthropic citizen when one learns
that Ralph Montgomery has installed
in his hall for the entertainment of
the public a fine new $3.50 Magma
Vox radio receiving set.
The receiving set was installed
just before the first of the month
by George Becker, a competent
electrician of Winnemucca, and Joe
Lyons Jr. has been appointed as
operator. Messages, music, lectures,
weather reports and news items
have been received from many
western cities, including Los An
geles, Salt Lake, Denver, Portland,
Oregon, San Francisco, Sugarland
Texas, Walla Walla and Phoenix.
Outsiders can hardly appreciate
what the installment of this radio
means to McDermitt without know
ing that McDermitt is the farthest
from a railroad of any town in the
United States, being so miles from
Winnemucca on the south and 1870
miles to Caldwell, Idaho, on the
north, and far from the path of
the better musical and literary en-
tertainment afforded by the cities
The world does not seem so wide
after all when "Uncle John" Of the
Los Angeles Times broadcasting
station can tell the Riddles their
bedtime story and then wish all his
lads and lassies Goodnight" and
we may, then perhaps hear Gallia
Curci singing for us in Denver or
receive the very latest news from
the troubled parts of Europe.
Those of the radio fans who have
not been discouraged by atmospheric
conditions, sometimes preventing a
clear message, have always been
well rewarded for their patience and
are rapidly coming over to the ranks
of the enthusiasts.
The 800 Club" met at Fit. Nc
Dermitt on Saturday with Mrs. j. T.
Rees and Mrs. A. Phillips as hos
tesses. The prize, consisting of six
decorated plates, was won by Mrs.
Leland Simpson. The next meeting
of the club will be at the home of
Mrs. Emily Reed.
Mrs. Joe Bankofier Entertained at
Ralph Montgomery's hall on last
Saturday in honor of her son Earl's
eight birthday. The children spent
the afternoon in games and dancing
the music being furnished by Mrs
John Hearn, and later a fine lunch
con was served to the little folk.
Master Earl was the recipient OF
many interesting presents.
W., G. McAllister returned today
from Winnemucca, where he has
been for a number of months for
medical treatment for felon on his
hand.
, With such fine weather as we
have had in the past three weeks
it seems hard to believe we had
such a taste of real winter in De.
cember. In fact the McDermitt
Gun Club thought spring had come
and were out in full force on Sun
day for their usual target shooting
They are quite sure that Winnie
mucca will not dare to shoot a re
turn match with them.
