on bigger scale than ever with ex-
pectancy of a bright future. Here
reference may be made in connection
with those properties that might be
followed with valuable advantage 10y
others. The management at these
across one of the deep canyons near
its works, which the last rains furnished
with sufficient water to form very
large lake and theirs are DOW impou nded
many million gallons of water that
can be used for any use required. This
principle it seems to the writer, could
be made a very Important factor in
the reduction of ores where water is
scarce.
Referring to another part of the state,
the El Trio and Yaqui country. Mills
on both menti med properties, are
turning out the precious metal and
the veins are proving excellent values
down to the present depth of 500 feet.
Many valuable prospects are being

above mentioned properties. Near
Poza station at Nina del Oro five
stamp mill is running with splendid
results, under the able management of
John Henderson, general manager of
the Porvenir de Sonora, the company
which owns the mines. The twenty
stamps at Zubiate are kept busy night
and day, and out at the Yerkes Camp
they have twenty stamp mill that
was made in Nogales, which Is said to
be one of the best in the state.
In the Magdalena district. Sonora.
within short distance from us, many
mills are running. AT Llano q god
mill; five stamp mill at Tener Bros +,
near Magdalena; the Cerro Prieto,
close to same place has twenty stamps,
and now alterations are being made to
install eighty more stamps. The
Hays Consolidated Mining, Milling &
Lumber Co, in the Pinto mountains,
twelve miles east of Quijano, have a
ten stamp mill and are adding twenty
more which they are now moving
from the old Guacomea mines. The
Planchas de Platas, only ten miles from
Nogales, silver mill Is running without
cessation. It is said the Copete Cop
per company's mines will shortly start
up again. Close to and around all
these properties mentioned, are pros
poets, that with development, will
undoubtedly make some good mines,
which will add materially to the
country's wealth.
The amount OF machinery, building
material and other large shipments
that are almost daily passing through
the Nogales custom house, give us
some idea as to the large volume OF
business in various lines now going on
in Sonora.
Take on the Arizona side of the
international line, in the Harshaw
and districts around Patagonia, where
good properties were worked and ore
shipped and large values obtained in

Hermoso, and many others, situated
near the famous Worlds Fair mine
now one of the best properties in the
country. Some of these old properties
are again being taken up and worked
and other new ones are being de-
veloped The old Orc Blanco distric,
has taken on new life and there il
, great activity in that district at the
present time, which bids fair to bt
permanent. The proposed new wagor
road from the Montana mine to Nogale
will be of incalculable beueft to No

mining companies now operating il
the Oro Blanco district.
The mining districts of Santa Cru
+ county are receiving more attention
now than ever before in their history
