ARRANGEMENTS me being made
by the Vera Cruz Mining Compa-
ny to have a trial run Of ore from
their mammoth mine, the Vera
Cruz" in the Ticsou Mountains
The run is to be made at the Nogal
Mills, and if a satisfactory return
is had, the prospects are that works
will be erected near the NINE at
once, where a mill-site has been To-
Gated for the purpose. 1t is Il
wonder to many that this property,
known to carry an immense body
of pay-ore, had not been utilized
long ago. Now, however, there is
Il fair prospect of it's assured future,

commensurate with the oHpecta-
tions which have long attached to
