Special Correspondence
 Cananea Jan. 14.-Mr. Peters, one of the owners of the mine near Arizpe, with which the Dickson syndicate is or has been connected. arrived in Can anea last evening He states that he has severed all relations with the Dickson syndicate and has formed new company to operate the mines.
 Many changes are occurring on the narrow guage railroad. The old em- ployes are being reinstated as fast as possible. Incompetency on the part of new crews is given as the reason. Very likely strike aspects will appear on the first of February.
 During the night Cananea experienc- ed a copious rainfall. There was no snow, as was expected.
 Considerable disappointment is be- ing felt by a number of skilled Amer ican miners and mechanics here over the long delay of George Mitchell in returning. Nearly two months ago these men were given promises of work at Acapulco just as soon as MT. Mitchell came back to Cananea. Since before Christmas Mir Mitchell has been expected back daily. It now looks like a case of "manara el viene pero manana no viene."
 More than fifty prisoners were re- leased from jail yesterday. This has been owing to the crowded condition of the place. It is horrible fact that If a prisoner fell down or laid down in the main chamber he was in danger of being trampled to death before he could get up again. Many of those released show marks of trampling
 A general cleaning is taking place in Cananea. as a result of the bubonic plague. While the sanitary conditions of the camp are very good no chances are to be taken with the new impoTta- ton from the banks of the Hoang-ho.
 An acicdent occurred on the narrow guage railroad yesterday which very near became disaster. An engine with a train of cars got away from a green crew and started down the hill The train stopped on high bridge over which there is a steep grade. If the train had had a better start it would have overcome this grade and the re- suits would have been 8 serious loss of life and destruction of property through collision at the Mesa station.
 Many complaints are being made here on account of the faultiness of the mail delivery. Some claim that the trouble lays with the post office of Cananea, others that it lays in Naco and still others that it is at Bisbee. There is undoubtedly crookedness or incompetence somewhere along the line. A Mexican post office inspector has been asked for to investigate.
 Among the latest arrivals here are James Butler, the contractor of Phoe- nix, Charles Keeler of Naco and Jos eph Lake, the mine owner of the Ajo range.
 MT. Ernest Accord and party have ar rived from a prospecting trip through the country between Cananea and No gales. Mir. Accord has brought in many samples from a vein discovered by himself. They are heavily mineral ized running high in silver and cop per. The vein is in a new district.
 Work is to be resumed on a large scale at the Puertecitos in a few days. MT. Floyd McMahon has arrived to take charge
 Several persons interested in the building of an electric street railway between Mesa and Chivatera have been busy making arrangements here during the past few days. It is under stood that orders for material have been sent east.
 Mail received here from Sinaloa gives terrifying accounts of the prog ress of the plague. Mysterious deaths, undoubtedly attributable to plague, are occurring in the country districts where medical at tendance can not be had Many cases of the dread scourge have been To- cated in the state of Sinaloa. One "n'y sterious death" is reported at Potam on the Yaqui river The plague is evidently travelling south al a rapid rate. Guaymas devoted all her attention toward heading the disease off by sea and is now awe stricken to ind iT advancing by land
 One of the propositions that Gen eral c. P. Eagan has placed before the Cananea copper people is the building Of a copper refinery at some place, Naco very likely, to which the coal Of San Marcial may be cheaply shipped The proposition is now be- ing considered by the company
