SECOND LUCKY
 TIGER IS FOUND
PRoVIpENcIA MINE IN MocTEzU
 MA DISTRICT OF SONORA.
W. 4. Bennett, Former Owner of Van
 kee Boy, Colorado Mine, Says the
 Sonora Property is Already Famous.

Especial to Review) Douglas, April 18.-The Moctezuma district of Sonora, Mexico, is producing more wonderful mines than any other
 district of Mexico. The latest wonder
 of the district is the Providencia, of
 which mention was made in the last
 issue of the Dispatch.
 ! The report of W. A Bennett, the
 well known mining engineer, who owns
 the San Jose property, an extension of
 the Providencia, and who bought the famous Yankee Boy. of Colorado and
 sold it in four months for more than
 s40o,oo0 has caused considerable ex
 citement in mining circles of Douglas
 and surrounding territory.
 1 When seen by a Dispatch repre-.
 sentative Mir Bennett stated plainly what his examination of the property had resulted in.
 The Providencia is a great property and is purely a free milling proposi-
 tion. Every assay made shows that l the ledge runs from 97 to l53 ounces
 in silver and from 12 to 47 iu gold An analytical examination of the ore showed it to contain lime. silica, and
 some lead, gold and silver. The sur
 face showing is sufficient to show a l mine that can be worked to a big
 profit. With depth the ledge i'm
 proves. The assay at the bottom of
 the shaft was md'a larger than the 1 assay taken from ore OF the surface. The ledge varies from seven to | twelve feet, some places being wider,
 and can be followed easily for thcu- sand feet or moro. The country is easily accessible anu the rail-oai from Cos to Nacozari practically passes over the propert.s
 There is plenty of wood ard water there (water being found before the
 l0o-foot level is struck. and evely- ! thing is in favor of he property. It is my opinion said Mr. Bennett. that within five years from the time the new railroad is built in the district that Nacozari and Arispe districts of Sonora will produce more ore ahan the entire state of Colorado have spent the greater portion of my life in Color ado. and I know whereof I speak. T tried to buy the Providencia mine for tfeGuggenheim people of Monterey, but was too late. as L. A Hohstadt had secured the property. but I bought an interest in an extension of the Provi- dencia known as the San Jose. which will make a great producer when fully developed"
 MT. Bennett left yesterday fer his property.
 The Providencia has been incor- porated by Douglas people, who are rushing work with all speed. The following well known business men are officers and directors:
 L. A. Hohstadt, stock and mining man, president; H. Fl Stone. real estate man. vice president; F. A. Rendle, of the Bank of Douglas, treas urer; ". F. Bayless, of the Douglas Improvement company, secretary. The directors are H. E. Stone, W. E. Bay less, F. A. Rendle, Frank G. Gilland and l.. A. Hohstadt.
 This is one of the biggest mining properties that has been located in re- cent years" said L. A Hohstadt, when seen yesterday. ''I have owned min ing property in Old Mexico for the past twenty years, but have every reason to believe that this is the largest prop osition that have been lucky enough to get hold of. The ledge is excep- tionally large for high grade property 'and lies in the midst of a great min eral belt. I have known of this prop erty for some. and to my own knowl- edge there has never been a disap- pointing shot from the grass roots"
 This property known as the Provi. dencia is situated less than two miles from the Nacozari river, and about the same distance from the new railroad which is extending from Cos, on the ! south. to Nacozari. The property lies i, between the San Jose mine and the | Chuarebabi mine, two of the best | known properties in this district The l San Miguel lies about two miles to the north, while the great Moctezuma mine lies about five miles sou,c.
