connects Nogalcs, Arizona, and the
Nacozari Railway connects Douglas,
Arizona.
This territory possesses the best
mineralized regions known. Mining
is and will continue to be paramount.
Here are located LA VICTORIA and
LA PALMITA mines. These two ad-
Joining properties are eighteen miles
southeast of Poza Station, Sonora,
Mexico, the greatest mining district
in the world
HISTORY OF THE CLAIM
In the year 1900-1901, three men
organized what was called the Rich
field Copper Company. These men
were Doctor Alderman, Mr. Squires
and the Uncle of the present owner
Of LA VICTORIA and LA PALMITA
mines 1t was their intention to Or
ganize themselves into a million dol
lar cOmcpany, which plan was frus-
trated by the Yaqui Indian uprising
in 1902, making it unsafe and dan
gerous for mining camps in the noun
tains. Over twenty years have e1aps-
ed, all three owners deceased, the
property fell back to the Government
NIAAO Ii &C IOI IC-1OCdC1uS.
Having nearby claims in the Quin-
tanena, Chiquito and Colorado mines,
situated in what is known to be the
richest silver belt in the State of
Sonora, the richest silver producing
district in the world, VIM P. Bert
rand, owner of LA VICTORIA and LA
PALMITA mines and nephew of the
owner Of said claims, took these
claims over and added them to his
holdings, thereby adding what was
considered by The Richfield Copper
Company their richest claims.
Before his death, the uncle of Mr..
Bertrand gave him all of the valuable
data concerning these mines Beyond
any doubt a pioneer opportunity lies
in the hands of the developers of
these mines, and a last chance, as
they are not to be duplicated any
where. Mr.. Bertrand puts forth a
unique plan for this development, one
worthy of attention. He is a man of
wide experience and has a practical
knowledge of the subject in hand.
WEST COAST OF MEXICO AN
OTHER GOLDEN CALIFORNIA
What California was before the
gold rush the West Coast of Mexico
is today" continues the report. 'The
same thing is bound to happen in
the fertile region facing the Gulf of
California, for all who take advan-
tage of the situation This state
ment is the outstanding opinion OF
the members of the NaiOnaI AssOci-
alton of Railroad and Public Utilities
Commissioners who have just finished
the excursion over the Southern Pa
c1flc of Mexico as far south as Mazat-
Ian. The Commissioners returning
to their homes in practically every
State of the United States bear with
them an entirely new viewpoint of
Mexico.
Capial now has faith in the West
Coast Of Mexico. 1t is doing things.
The actual development now in pro.
gress reaches the point of $65 1000, 600.
There is an atmosphere of permanent
peace. Revolutions are a thing of the
past
The Mexican people have come to
admire Americans for what Ameri-
can capital has accomplished and to
appreciate and invite our enterprises.
Vast reclamation projects are under
way. Old mines are being reopened
The Richardson Construction Com
pany has a concession from the Mex
lean Government calling for the irri-
cation of 100000 acres in the Yaqui
Valley alone. The rich valleys of
this section of Mexico remind one of
the rich Salt River Valley An ade-
quate water supply can be developed
and the section will prove one of the
richest agricultural areas in the
world. Land owners are making big
money. Modern farming methods
prevail. Auto trucks, tractors and
combination threshers are seen on
