Arizona state miner., 1925-04-25


California 1t will be like the rush
of 40 and the rush to Alaska
The situation of the Victoria and
Palmita mines owned by Mr. Bertrand
afford an ideal site for commercial
station commanding trade with a
large area of country The plan is
to establish this commercial base
and be in on the ground floor and
ready for the rush that is sure to
take place.
There is in process highway thru
the mountains to the Sonora River.
At this point all the trade from the
towns and settlements of the Sonora
River district comes. A supply base
is needed at which miners imple-
ments, provisions and clothing could
be procured. Also a good hotel is
wanted 1t is the ideal site for a real
good headquarters with conveyances
for travel and cOnveniences for Am
ericans and others coming into the
country. Such plan would quickly
develop into a large commercial CEN
ter afOrding banking facilities.
1t is the logical point for our assay
ing office, which will be in charge
of an expert engineer, and who can
make reports on prospects which have
a recognized title. 1t will be
freighting and shipping point and it
will be our business to take options
on mining properties, or anything
such as cattle or lands and we will
have such options to offer at all times
to investment or home seekers.
At present the main working is on
/ the La Victoria property, where there
is tunnel in, to a point of one
hundred and twenty feet. Near the
end Of this tunnel the old time min
ers encountered a rich chimney OF
ore and sunk a shaft to the depth
of two hundred feet, thereabout. The
exact depth is hard to determine as
water is encountered at about eighty
feet down
There is good gold and silver ore
all the way in the tunnel and down
the shaft, the vein four to five feet
in width. This ore runs from $27.00
to $500 ton, mill run. There is
a quantity of high grade ore en-
countered all along, running to $500
in value. At point of only twenty
five feet, the water can be tapped and
drained to an outlet, to better work
ing advantage. At the small cost of
one thousand dollars, quantities of
| ore could be mined Immediately.
Two hundred yards north lies the
La Palmita property with another
shaft down forty feet. This ground
has two feet of quartz carrying lead,
silver and gold ore There are three
or four other workings on these same
property veins and in every place
the ore is discovered One point
yields silver sulphite ores assaying
two hundred dollars per ton
PRODUCED MILLIONS
1t would not be necessary to install
a mill, as one is in operation on an
adjoining ground eight hundred met
ers from our main working This
company is now unwatering it's mine
and getting into active operation.
| Their mine has produced millions in
high grade silver ore A deal can
be made to get our ore milled on a
percentage basis, or lease their mill.
Our veins here are leads off the
same mother ledge. In a short time
these properties will be worth from
thirty to fifty thousano dollars with
out turning hand. Why not go af-
ter 1T with the promising prospects
OF them producing a million or mil
lions? At present we have an as
sessed value of fifty thousand dollars
on our holdings here. Not any less
important is our Cendrada mine. u
miles northeast of La Victoria and
La Palmita. We have four pertea-
| c1aS here and have title and all tax
receipts. This mine is a rich gold
and silver producer. It was worked
| by the natives back in the sixties.
| 1t has five shafts down on the vein
| to depth of two hundred feet. One
| OF the shafts contains forty feet of
| d1smOunted ore, ready for taking out.
The shafts having caved in, it was
left to be discovered where this trea-
| sure lay, by the uncle of Mr.. Bert
| rand, who put men to work to find
this hiden ore. They succeeded in
getting four and a half tons of it.
which sold for six thousand pesos.
Mr.. Bertrand has been over this hold
ing thoroughly and it has a good tun.
mel site for going in under the old
workings to follow up the ore.
There is good truck road within
two miles of this mine and it is only
two miles from the San Miguel River.

ed, as Mr.. Bertrand has been asked
repeatedly at what price they could
be bought
ONE AND ONLY OPPORTUNITY
All except the controlling interest
in these last mentioned mines and in
the supply base will be turned over
to those furnishing the capital to
develop La Victoria and La Palmita
properties.
