Patagonia A
Boom Town

Because of the mill being erected
at the Trench mine by the Ameri-
can Smelling & Refining Company
and extensive operations under way
at that mine, and activity at other
properties, Patagonia is truly a
boom town now.
There is big demand for build
ing lots, and places to live can't
be found in the Patagonia district
workers finding it necessary to re-
side in Nogales and drive to and
from their work each day. There
was a total of 20 applications fol
a new house completed at Patagonia
a few days ago by R. G. Blabon.

10th and 25th of each month.
About $50 men are now employed

In One Week

The third storm in one week
struck Nogales wednesday, leaving

Thursday morning and dropping
