VAIN SEARCH
FOR VICTORIA
LAND BUYER UNABLE TO FIND "BLUE
PRINT" CITY IN SONORA.
Whereabouts of Mysterious Metropolis
of Rio Yaqui Region Baffles
Interested Parties.
Victoria, the mysterious metrop
olis of the Rio Yaqui region of
Sonora, Mexico, of which mention
was made in The Oasis two weeks
ago, is a much sought locality at
the present lime. A most i ate rest
ing feature of the exciting search
for this Mexican Paradise is I that
none of the people who are seeking
the place seem to be able to find
it, notwithstanding the fact that
they own lots and are provided
with "blue prints" showing the lo
cation of the "city" on the Cana
nea, Yaqui River & Pacific railroad
extension in Mexico. Diligent in
quiry in railroad circles also fails
to biing out any information con
cerning the new and wonderful
town.
Interesting developments in con
nection with the Citr of Victoria
may be expected to transpire in
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, within
a few days. In Oklahoma City is
located the office of the '"Toledo
Development & Exploration Com
pany of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
and Ciudad Victoria, Sonora,
Mexico." The company has been
felling lots in Victoria to people in
Oklahoma and one of the lot own
ers, Mr. W. F. Reece, a prominent
farmer and stockman of Gotebo,
Oklahoma, was in Nogales this
week,-en route to Victoria. Here,
at the gateway to Sonora, he could
find no one who had ever heard of
Victoria, until quite recently, when
letters of inquiry were received by
residents of the line city in regard
to the new, booming city. Mr.
Reece was a very much surprised
man and remained in town long
-enough to consult a number of
.Nogales men who have passed back
and forth through the country des
cribed many times in the past ten
or twelve years, none of whom had
ever heard of Victoria. No one
connected with the extension of
theCananea, Yaqui River & Pacific
railroad, on whose line the town is
described as being situated, had
ever heard of the place.
Mr. Reece then bought a ticket
for Oklahoma City, with "blood in
his eye." He announced his in
tention . to file charges of fraud
against the members of the Toledo
Development fc Exploration Com
pmy, unless they can show him
the city of Victoria. The company
has its odice in the City Hail
building in Oklahoma City and its
letter head contains the printed
names: J. S. Carle, president; J.
3. Patrick, vice president; G. W.
Patrick, secretary; 0. L. Hudson,
treasurer; C. C. Pottenger, general
manager.
Mr. Reece alleges he was told by
the venders of the lots that the
town was in the Yaqui valley and
that the new road already had
been graded to the place, but sixty
miles of rails had to be laid
before trains would be running in.
Tint the valley at that place is!

to lh upon 21) acres of fine farm
bind, belonging to the Mexican
government; with the additional
privilege of buying in 5000 acres of
government land at 37 cents per
acre.
A printed "bulletin" issued by
the "company" and displayed here
by Mr.Vlteece, announced the in
tention of the company to run
regular monthly excursions from
Oklahoma City to Ciudad Victoria
once a month beginning March
first, when the railroad to the town
would be completed, "provided they
can get a guarantee of 300 tickets
for each excursion." They expect
"on the first regular excur
sion train to carry at least 500
people."
One of the features of the "bul
letin" is the information volun
teered to those who care to go in
search of "Ciudad Victoria." It
reads:
"The resident manager of this
company has just completed a trip
over the line as far as completed
and reports to us that it will be
impossible to secure carriages or
other means of conveyance at that
that point. This necessitates a
a change at Torres, Sonora, at
which point connections are made
with the Torres & Prietas road to
La Colorado. At La Colorado
carriages can be secured at reason
able hire for the trip overland, a
distance of about 108 miles.
"To those desiring to go at this
time we would recommend that
they take at least one pair of
double blankets, warm clothing
and overcoat. Very good accomo
modations can be had at the small
villages on the overland trip."
It is wel) known here that any
one attempting to make the trip
outlined would be stopped at La
Colorado, as the Yaquis in the sec
tion of the country described
render it impossible for a small
party to make ihe trip without a
large armed escort. Should a small
party of men, and particularly
strangers, attempt the trip outlined
in the company's bulletin, it would
be a miracle if any of them should
ever be heard from again. In all
probability they would fall victims
to one of the many little bands of
marauding Yaquis before covering
fifty miles of the journey south.
As to the laying of the rails on
the part of the road understood to
be referred to in the pamphlet, the
road has not been graded and the
present outlook is that the road
through the section referred to will
not be completed for at least eight
months.
