 Mining expert Titcomb states that, at an expense of not more than five or six thousand dollars, the Planchas shelter could be put into condition to success fully work the immense bodies of ore that the Planchas mines can produce. We expect the late revival of action on the part of the company, as noted In an other column, Is the result Of the eXaml- nation and report by MT Titcomb. If such is the case, then indeed he is a bene- factor to Nogales.
 It has become necessary for the man agement of the local roads to put or special freight trains to relieve the Ben son yards of the accumulated delayed freight. There is a possibility that tn,
 business of the roads may increase this fal
 to such an extent that it will require
 regular freight train service.
 The business of the Carmen Island sal
 Go. is rapidly increasing. There are nov
 at Guaymas, about two hundred tons c
 salt awaiting cars for shipment over tn
 Sonora road, part of which will pas
 this Port consigned to the Oso Negro an other mines in this section of countr, Owing to the delays caused by two month
 washouts, the Sonora road was unable r furnish cars for its patrons.
 The Record made mention two week
 ago that MT. l.. Ephraim had put larg force of men at work in his Tumacaco } mine in the Promontorio district, an g would soon begin making regular shi r ments of ore. He has just contracted vii , Messrs. Roy x Titcomb, who are gener l agents of this place for mill and mimi : machinery, for sufficient rails and cars | laV track the antira lnnOtb of the tn : mel. With this improvement the cost ), removing the ore from the various lea to the dump will be greatly lessened. M + Ephraim, deserves much credit for u | courage and tenacity which he has di s played, since he became the owner n these mines, and if he had taken hold O e year ago as he is now doing, instead s depending upon the word of snide al d alleged agents of great English silly r mine hunters, he would be thousands Il dollars better of.
