The lead struck on the eleventh level
of the Creston mine to the north east of
the old workings few weeks since is
said to be developing into a big body of
ore fully as rich as the average of tat
great mine.
Information comes from La Colorado
to the effect that the. Grand Central
Mining Company is preparing to install
300-ton cyanide plant to handle an
accumulation of tailings that approxi-
ms.es 100000 tons that averages from
SIS to 81 per ton.
Information direct from Santa Rosa
liza, Lower California, is to the effect,
that men are exceedingly scarce at the
mines and smelters of the Boleo COM
pany. Upwards of 250 went to the

145 came over to Sonora on the last
trip of the Curacao
| Prof. William Niven, of New York,
has been given an important decision

purposes and was sustained.
James Hannigan of DeminG and Su-
pervisor A. L. Peck returned to No
gales Wednesday night from the region
east Of Carbo, where they went to ex-
anime " one of the ancient work ings.
Mr.. Hannigan said he found the vein
richer and larger than previous reports
indicated. They entered one pocket

mountain.
G. w. Hayes was in Nogales this
week from his mining property east OF
Casita. He says the road he is a build
ing from the station to his camp Il
miles distant is nearly completed. He
will begin the work of hauling out his

probable" Mr.. Hays said, that after
the saw mill has stocked up a surplus
of lumber that I may build tramroad
from Casita to the camp. In that event
can ship lumber to points on the

TRES AMIGOS IN GOOD ORE.
Big Block Opened Up in the Oro
Blanco District.

Judge T. W. Purcell, of the probate
court of Pima county and F. NJ. Mac
masters general manager of the Tres
Amigos gold mines of the Orc Bla 1co
district, we're in Nogales this week on
business connected with this property.
While here Mr.. Macmasters- said he had
closed a contract in Tucson for a
cyanide plant to handle the tailings of
the mill. He acquired the property last
May for L. w. Champion, of Wiscou-
sin, at price of $40, 600. At the time
only shack covered the engine on the
property. Now, a all village and 20
families; a modern yo-stamp mill with
S50-pound stamps; substantial mill
building, the general managers quar-
ters, with assay Office, store building
and boarding house have been erected
and great activity prevails.
At the time of the transfer of the
property only. 75-foot shaft with half
dozen short tunnels were the develop
ments on the property. This shaft
showed 2O.foot ledge at this depth of
So to $12 ore but was in bad condition
for future working; hence Mr.. Mac
masters started tunnel from the ex-
treme south end of the claim to cut
this shaft 25 feet below it. Two drifts
were also run north 76 feet from this
shaft, on both the hanging and foot
walls. The new tunnel and the old
shaft dave been connected and $3.50. 900
worth of free milling ore can be exam
ined from top, bottom and ends. Six
teen hundred feet of unexplored ore lies
| beyond this point into which a pick has
not yet been driven except on the ex-
treme northern end where tunnel face
has been made showing an eight foot
ledge of Sc ore. The groupings of this
great fisure vein are traceable for four
miles north and can be seen eight miles
south over the Mexican line; but no.
where in that distance has anything
been found to equal the Tres Amigos.
On the south end of the claims where
the tunnel commences, 75-foot shaft
has been sunk and drift started north
which will also connect with the old
shaft, thus in the course of the next
four months will show another block OF
ore rs feet in depth by 400 in length
and averaging over ten feet in width
which, from the present assay values Is
improving with depth. The two stamp
mill is being run day and night on ore
from the pay streaks, which is plating
from SIG to $25 per ton and giving from
81 20 Sc per ton in the tailings which
the new cyanide plant will handle.

Cinnamon to be Deported.

Three natives of the Flowery King
dom were before United States Com
missioner Mix this week suspected of
being Illegally in the United States.
Wong Yurg was discovered by Julio
Ullmann, acting inspector, crossing the
line from Mexico. When examined be-
fore the commissioner, his papers were
so obviously not his own that he was
ordered deported.
Lee Sings case was in the hands of
Attorney Frank J. Duffy, who asked for
and secured a continuance for thirty
days,
Wong Dicks case was an unusual
one. He has lived in the United States
since he was nineteen years old. and is
now ffty-one. Wong, by an oversight
or carelessness, did not perfect his pa
pers as required by act of congress, was
therefore in the country, and was sem
tenced to depo rtation. His is an unusual
case, but it is one for which the act
makes no provision, therefore the COM
missioner has no discriminating power
in the premises.

Bond Issue Carried.

Voters in NogaIes School District No
/, at the election last Monday declared
in favor of bond issue to the amount
of SIC, 600 for the construction and
equipment of a school building. The
vote was 81 to 13;-a small one. Nearly
everyone believed the vote would have
been carried unanimously; that to cast
a vote was mere formality. Il should
have been carried without dissenting
voice. The citizen who is not in accord
with economic public improvements;
with the advance of public school prin-
ciples and facilities, is un-American in
sentiment, detriment to and weight
upon the community which he encum-
bers.
The contract for the construction of
the proposed building had been let
prior to the day of the election. This
may account for some of the negative
votes; mal-information or misunder-
standing may account for the remain
der. In any event those thirteen votes
stand as opponents to public improve
ment; to ed ducation and advancement.
The opening of the public schools
previously announced for Monday was
postponed until next Monday, the 25th.
To permit the children 10 enjoy the fes-
tivities across the line was decided to
be better than to begin with a hall
enrolment.

Captain Alfonso B. Smith, of Los
Angeles, tells the Yuma Sun of his in
tention to build railroad from Yuma
to Adair bay thirty miles below the
mouth of the Colorado river in the Gulf
of California, and to operate line of
steamers from that point along the
Mexican coast. He says he has secured
these concessions from the Mexican
government, and with them title to a
large area of mineral and farming land
in the vicinity of Adair bay; that he
has ample capital to carry out his plans.
The New York Sun states that Calu-
met and Hecla dividends for the first
six months of this year amount to $50
per share, or $6,OO0,0Oo in all, and that
if the market holds at 1S cents there
will be earnings on an estimated output
for 899 of 100000 pounds of copper
of $120 per share. Such figures as
these account sufficiently for the craze
among miners for the discovery of the
raw material of copper manufacture.

NEW RAILROAD FOR SONORA.
Guaymas to San MarcIal Coal Fields.
A Big Deal Consummated.

- Olh OCdi
The openi 2g of the San Marcial coal
fields; the construction and operation
of q railroad from Guaymas thence is
now assured. The VIDETTE is author
lied by an official of the Pacific Coast
Coal Company to say that the plans of
the company are so far advanced that
corps of civil engineers will begin the
work of surveying the route from Quay
mas to San Marcial within sixty days
or possibly sooner. The concession for
the railroad was granted by President
Diaz-the first under the new law. Un-
der it's terms the concessionaires deposit
$3.50 in Mexican per cent bonds for
each kilometer of road built. The ap-
proximate length of the road is ITO Kill
ometers or IS miles. The company IS
given an area of land extending twelve
and half miles on each side of the.
track.
1t may be surprise to the public to-
learn that the deal now consummated
is not the one that Huntington is inter-
ested in; that the principals Of this n
terprise are Philadelphia capitalists, OF
more than local influence. Last June,.
after prospecting the San Marcial coal
fields for more than eight months, f. v.
B. Hoes, who, with Mrs. Hoes is now at
tho Montezuma, bought the property
FIVE by seven miles, or thirty five square
from Julian and Carlos johnson and
took deeds in his name in trust. Last
week he transferred the title to the Pa
5cific Coast Coal Company, of which w.
H. Ingam, of Philadelphia, is president
and which includes Mr.. Hoes and nine
others. The company was.incorporatel
under the laws of West Virginia and
has capital of s., 500, 900. The projects
of the company also involve docks at
Guaymas.
The opening up of the San Marciaf
coal fields and also those at La BarrapT
ca, in which Mr.. Huntington and htss
friends are interested, means an i'm M
mense impetus 10 industrial endeayors
both In Arizona and Sonora. Iron
works, glass factories, planning mills and
many auxiliary industries will be de-
veloped: In a word, with coal the
rapid progress of Arizona is assured.
Tho fact that anthracite coal and
coke of superior quality is assured for
this territory, makes almost certainty
another railroad for Nogales. A line
from Washington Camp, east by north
| from Nogales has been surveyed and
the grades found practicable. Tie line
has been decided upon to be built
! either from Crittenden or Nogales, and
active work has been delayed pending
| Investigations of the Sonora coal fields.
| Since these are now or soon to be COM
| mercial realities Nogales viii get the
road 1t is not improbable that when
the road is completed to Washington,
/ it will be extended to Bisbee.
Another probable line predicated ION
! the coal feature is one from Imuris to
| Cauanea mountain, where the Cobre
| Grande and other big properties are
i located. W. G. Greene when here two
weeks ago made the statement that he,
will go to the City of Mexico to secure
! a concession for the road before he re-
! turns to Arizona.

Quotations For Christmas Gifts.

The passing of the Christmas card
is thoroughly signalized by the vogue
given the selected quotation, which is
now made an important adjunct to
every Christmas gift. The selection
of quotation which is appropriate
and personal evidences the desire OF
the sender to express special greet
ing. The quotations given below may
possibly be of value to our readers:
With some trifiing present, Shakes
peare's
"My good will is great though the gift be

With pair of slippers, Dickens

With book of travel, Stevenson's

Unto thine elders at the board
Do thou sweet reverence accord.
Though unto dignity inclined,
Unto the serving folk be kind;
Be ever mindful of the poor,
Nor turn them hungry from the door;
And unto God for health and food,
And all that In thy life is good,
Give thou thy heart in gratitude"

A Postal Santa Claus.

A postal Santa Claus visits the Bos-
ton postoffice every year during the
week before Christmas. No one knows
his name, and those whom he helps
do not even know that they have been
helped.
Many packages are mailed every
year to go to foreign countries or to
other parts of the United States as
Christmas presents, and for some rea-
son postage is not fully paid on all of
them. In such cases the packages are
either returned to the sender or sent
to the dead-letter Office and the per-
sons for whom they are intended are
disappointed.
The postal Santa Claus calls at the
postotfice and pays all the postage due
on these packages and they are for
warded without delay. Santa Claus
paid more than $40 in this way last
year and disappeared without leaving
his name. and this year he has come
again to repeat his good deeds.

pcN'Ts FOR CHRISTMAS.
What to Give and What Not to Give Your
Friends.

=
Friends.
Don't pay more for the Christmas
tree than you pay for the frhit.
Don't send your gentleman adorer
a gold toothpick. He may have false
teeth.
Don't send your pastor embroidered
slippers. TO travel the strait and mar
row path requires hobnailed shoes.
Don't buy your daughter piano
aud your wife a washtub. If you
reverse the order, you will do justice
to both.
Don't place your expectations of q
Christmas gift too high. You may
have to put your foot in your stocking
to find anything in it.
Don't make your friend present
and be disappointed because he doesn't
give something Perhaps you have
surprised him.
Don't give presents to people not
quite SO prosperous as yourself and
tell them not to reciprocate because
they can't afford to make presents.
Be just before you are generous.
Pay your debts before you buy pres
ents. Your creditors may consider
that they have received an unexpected
gift.
Don't give your boy drum an 1
forbid him beating it, nor your daueh-
ter q horse and order her not to take
it out of the stable without your per-
mission
