fenced practical mine managers on the American continent.
 The property is situated in the Santa Teresa mountains, about sixteen miles southeast from Hermosillo, and only three miles eastward from Willard station, on the line of the Sonora railway, from which place the mine can be reached in less than an hour by carriage, over a fine road. The group of mines, including Nina Grande, Santa Teresa and others, comprises more than three hun dred acres of land, all bearing evidence of being good mineral ground.
 The formation is limestone. The camp is situated in a little basin upon the west side of the Santa Teresa mountains, surrounded upon three sides by elevated spurs and the main ridge of the mountains. Across this basin, and up through the main ridge, great iron dyke varying from twelve to thirty feet in width is traced from east to west, distance of mile or more. The principal ore bodies were found upon the south side of the dyke, leading out therefrom at various angles up into the spur of the main ridge upon the south. It was into this spur that the work

Nogales was visited by a severe electrical storm last Saturday evening, which was fortunately of short duration.
 During it's progress some of the electric light wires were struck by lightning, burning out large num- Der of incandescent lights and a number of houses were left in total darkness.
 Frank Mains house was struck by the deadly current and his little child was thrown to the floor, sem seless, but she soon recovered. A box was set on fire and started quite blaze in the house, which was however soon extinguished by some of the neighbors, who were called upon for assistance.
 The storm which was accom- panied by very heavy rain, soon passed over and people in general began to feel much easier. One man went home and found his wife in the cellar, hidden under a big dry goods box.

Carrying the shaft to vertical depth of eighty feet, he then ran a drift to the east distance of about twenty feet, and again cut with an upraise the same body of carbonate ores. This up raise is now into the ore body about ten feet, and the same ores are still in the face. From the bottom of the shaft he is also drift ing to the west, and since the date of this visit has encountered the west leg of the ore body through the apex of which he cut, twenty five feet above. The work already done, at moderate expense, has ex- posed more than 800 tons of appar- ently good shipping ore, which is now being tested for values. Col onel Dickey may well be proud of the splendid showing he has al- ready made in the "La Nina Grande," which is truly named "The Great Mine"-and the com pany are to be congratulated upon having secured the services of so competent and efficient a miner.

The ores consist of lead carbonates, rich in gold and silver.
