 Fifty burros loaded with Tumacacor ore arrived yesterday, and forty nor, are expected to-day. This is the ort which MT, Ephraim is shipping tc Europe for treatment. One carload 2500 pounds, left here in bond Tues day, consigned to Swansea, and another carload will leave next Monday con signed to Freiburg. Germany, where i: located the largest plant in Europe The Freiburg company pays for every property that is contained in the ole that has value, even to the minutest MT. Ephraim expects to get returns within five weeks from date of ship. ment. Now it does seem strange that ore produced within half days ride oi Nogales, can be shipped by rail to New Orleans, there transferred to fast pas. senger steamer and fioated to Europe, distance of some 5000 miles, at a much less expense than if shipped to Pueblo or Denver, Colo, and returns received in about the same length of time. Gentlemen, there is something wrong in our ore trade relations with the miners of Mexico, and unless a new system of rates and revenues is adopt- ed, and that very soon, we may expect a continued and increasing diversion of the ore production of Mexico from our county, where itrightfully it belongs, to Europe.
