A New Copper Mining Camp in sonora

New Copper Mining Camp in sonora.
 Last week Mir A. J. Sharpe, the well known mining engineer and sur. veyor, returned to Hermosilo from a trip to a locality about seventy-five miles west of north from that city. where he had been some time engaged Tn surveying a group of claims for MT. Louis M. Erb of Chicago, who took up the properties about a year ago, ard has since succeeded in enlisting heavy capital for their development and operation upon an extensive scale. One of these mines, the "Mesnuit~ .r is a0 antigua, and was operated by the early Spaniards a century or so ago farther back than goes the memory of the oldest inhabitants in the region. It has always been known by the same name under which MT. Erh has now denounced the pronerty. and the ruins of the old workings. the ruins of the ancient shelter, about mile away, and the slag dump at the smelter site, all go to show that the ancient operations were extensive and profitable. A very high grade of ore must have been worked, for the rude appliances of that day failed to save all the value in the ores, and the slag dump is now so high in percentage of copper about twenty per cent that 1t will pay handsomely to work
 Beside the ''Mesquite" Mir. Erb de- nnunced two other claims. the "Co- lumbiar and tue 'Crstofer.n and bought fourth. the "Afo Nuevo.r New Year. All these properties have large bodies of high grade cop- per ore. carrying good gold values and considerable silver. The ores are of character which will fiux easily with addition of a little lime. making them cheaply and economically worked.
 At slight expense a good wagon road can be made tn 2 good harhor upon the gulf of California. about sixty miles away. giving chean trans portation for supplies and product

A COPPER QUEEN ROAD.
It wiu Penetrate an Almost Unknown
 Region.

Information comes from Naco that a preliminary survey has been made between Naco and Placeritas, Mex leo, for the building of railroad. An other roate will be outlined connect ing the same points, which will not differ much from the one just Finished, and at the conclusion of the second survey plans will be adopted for build- ing at once. This road will be built by the Copper Queen Co. to connect with some valuable copper mines about Placeritas The company has already spent thousands of dollars in hauling and putting up machinery. The rich sulphides which have been uncovered by the company ic two years justify the outlay in both the machinery and the proposed railroad. The opinion of mining men is that these Placeritas mines which are not known extensively, will become very heavy producers and the ore will be easily manipulated
 The purpose in building the railroad IS not solely to transport material and bullion to and from the mines. Bis bee would pay dividends simply as a custom railroad, although the Copper Queens prime object in building it was to convey its own freight. In a like manner the road to Placeritas will tap mines and agricultural dis tricts. The San MIguelito group, of which James Shea, Sr., is part own- CT, is located only three or four miles north of the proposed terminus of the line. The railroad will not only prove or great benefit to the already deyel- oped mines, but will be the means of opening many valuable prospects which are not worked on account of their present remoteness. The San Mfguelito group is about eighty miles east of the Cananea mountains, and not quite so far from Arizpe. Near ArizDe is located the famous Santa Rosalla mine, which was lost for three centuries. Mention cf this mine re- calls one of equal interest in the San MiguelitO region. It is called the Host Huacal" mine. The location papers of this mine have been pre- served in the old Spanish ruins. It was owned by the Spanish before they were driven out by the Mexicans, and they left map which locates the mine near Placeritas. It is described as being marvelously rich in native silver Tradition says the men used to get the silver from the workings with chisels and the pieces taken were used with the gold of the Santa Ro- saiia In orDamenting churches and public buildings for miles around. When the Spaniards deserted the "Huacal" they carefully concealed the opening expecting at some time to re- turn. The Santa Rosalia was con- cealed in the same way, but it was discovered and re.opened few years ago. Although hundreds of people have sought the Host Huacaln their searches have been unavaiing -Ari- zoDa Republican.
