A Short Synopsis of the New Com
 pany Operating in the San Jose
 Mountains Near Naco
 White the attention of the country is focused upon the copper mines of the Warren mining district, a com pany composed of focal business men and men Of mining experience, are going steadily ahead developing gold bonanza in the San Jose mountains, 8 short distance from Naco, in the state of Sonora. Advices from Naco yesterday state that R. V. Daniels, who for a long time has been collec- tor of customs at that point. has re- signed his position and will devote his whole time to the interests of the Gold Treasure Mines company of which he is secretary and treasurer. The directors Of the company are: R. C. Morgan. C. H. Sanders. s. NJ. Aguirre, M. D. Buck. RI. D.. Dr. O. w. Brandon, George H. kirsch. R. V. Daniels.
 The Gold Treasure Mines company was incorporated under the laws of Mexico and Arizona. for the purpose Of opening and developing rich mines in the state Of Sonora, Mex. just south of the Arizona line. The prop critics of the company consist of the Napoleon mine embracing twenty per tinenciaS. or a tract of mineral iand 2,70O feet long by 1900 feet in width. and the Sultana mine. adjoining. upon which extensive development work has been done. The geological forma- ton of the district is limestone. slate and granite in parallel lodges with large contact dykes of porphyry eX- tending east and west some ten or twelve miles. The mines of the com pany are situated on the south side of the San Jose mountains, five miles south Of Naco, Arizona, and three and one-half miles from the Cananea rail road. in the free zone of Sonora, Mexico. immediately under the apex of the highest peak in the range at an elevation of T,5O0 feet and 5000 feet above the town of Naco. The veins have been stripped for a dis tance of 106,0 feet across the two claims and show a width of from two to three feet; while in the big tunnels it widens out to an average of five feet and in the west tunnel on the Napoleon to eight feet. The vein on the Napoleon is from four to eight feet wide and is we'll defined. It dips at an angle of forty degrees toward a large quartZite dyke which runs north and south across the property. It is supposed, by mining men of ex- perience in that region, that when the vein and dyke meet a bonanza will be found below.
 The Sultana vein is a continuation of the vein on the Napoleon mine, and is in the same formation, dipping into the mountain at an angle of seventeen and one-half degrees. and is 700 feet below the apex of the mountain and 800 feet above tn ebed of the can yon, thus affording plenty of dump ing ground and natural advantages for chutes and tramways to the mLi be- low.
 Commencing at the east end of the Sultana a tunnel forty feet in length has been driven. To the west 300 feet another tunnel is in 190 feet with two drifts of forty nd eighty-seven feet respectively, showing the vein to be from three to six feet wide. At the end of the S7-foot west drift a shaft Is sunk some thirty feet and 200 feet further west from the mouth of the big tunnel is another tunnel sixty feet long and it requires but thirty feet more to connect it with the lower level of the shaft.
 Ore shipments made by Montgon- cry & Shumaker of Tombstone, Ari- zona. original owners of the Sultana, 10 the Fl Paso Smelling Works, from the east tunnel and surface strippings. gave net returns of s5S.9o gold and S1.7G silver. A shipment 10 the American Smelting and Refining works at Puebio, Colo, gave returns of s427S gold per ton. About S0,006 tons Of ore is actually blocked out ready to mill: it is estimated that at least s30,000 has been expended in de velopment.
 Contracts have been let to sink shafts to intersect other rich lodges on both properties. It is the intention of the company to install mill witL capacity enough 10 treat these large bodies of ore.
 The officers and directors of the Gold Treasure Mines company are mining. business and professional men in good standing who will devote al' of their energies toward pushing de velopment.
