Copete, Sonora, and has been spending
the week with his family. Mr.. Berry
has just completed the erection Of a 200
ton smelter for the Melczer company,
which will be blown in on the first OF
next month. The starting up has been
delayed by the failure Of the traction en-
gine to bring in the necessary supply of
coke, etc, from Carlo, the railroad sta
ton, 25 miles from the mine, and re-
course was taken to old-fashioned freight

there's enough out for a six months
run, with plenty in sight in the mine
