MUCH PRAISE FOR
 YAouI COPPER MINES
(New York CommercialD

(New York Commerclal.)
 New York-Some time ago mention was made in these columns of the or ganization of the Yaqui Copper Co.,, with brief description of the prop critics of the company located at Campo Santo Nino, State of Sonora, Mexico. Col w. P. Harlow, of Arizona who located the mines, is president Of the company. The Colonel, while a lawyer by profession, is a practical minerologist and a mining expert.
 For the last several years, in con- pany with other practical mining men, he has given his entire attention to the mineral resources of Sonora, personal Iy visiting every accessible section, and it is his firm belief that within the confines of the 119,2S4 acres own ed and controlled by the Yaqui Copper Co.,. exist the largest and richest cop per mines of the world. Col Harlow and his personal friends have hereto tore borne the entire expense of the preliminary work that has been ac- complished on the property.
 Capitalists Visit Mines.
 As an evidence of his confidence in the property, Col. Harlow engaged the private Pullman car lolanthe, and with a party consisting of p gentle men. of whom five were mining eX- perts and engineers, or geologists and mineralogists, left New York on Nov. ,, via the Erie, Rock Island and South ern Pacific roads, under the personal direction of Raymond, Whitcomb X Co.,, managers of tours, for Nogales, Ariz, thence via the SOaora railroad to Hermosillo and Torres thence to Mines Prietas. where the party was met by Gen. Henry Ide Wiley, engi- neer of mines and William E. Pome- roy, general superintendent. Thence they were taken by carraiges over the fine new road to point near the Yaqui river. and thence on horse or mule back by a delightful and wide noun tain trail through a portion of the great Sierra Madres. to Campo Santo Nino, where the principal mining camp is located.
 Much to the surprise of the visit ore a thriving village was found on the beautiful elevated plateau over looking the splendid valley of the Yauui, and the hundreds of surround ing mountains and foothills. The seen cry from this point is majestic and sublime to a degree seldom equaled and never surpassed, and no such gor- geous sunsets can be found elsewhere, while the climate is remarkably health ful and invigorating.
 The main bricks, after the custom of the country, having four large rooms and several smaller ones, with kitchen quite separate therefrom, but connect ed by the roof. The office building is commodious and well suited for the work The company store is large and substantial, as also are the ma chine shop, blacksmith shop and numerous other buildings owned by the corporation. The Mexican and Indian villages, though near to the camp, are separate.
 Opinions on the Trip.
 While the history of the trip, bristl- ing with scores of interesting, anus ing and even ludicrous incidents, would make good reading, the import ant consideration is the examination of the Yaqui Copper Co.,, properties.
 The members of the expedition unite in saying that the opinions expressed are the result of this individual and collective research not influenced in the slightest degree by any officer, member or employe of the Yaqui Cop per Co, s. F. Pierce, E. M. of St, Paul, who went on the expedition as the representative of several large in- terests, concludes his opinion by say ing:
 And now, not wishing to go too far into details, I will finish by saying that I have visited nearly every cop per property on this continent and have made reports on a large number of them; also have had the chance to visit a good many of them at the be- ginning of their development work but in no case have I ever seen prop erty with anything like the advant- ages at Campo Santo Nino, either in it's greatness of deposit or its natural surroundings and facilities for great and economical operation, as it has every possibility in the way of cheap mining. Its laborers are first class can be hired and maintained at very reasonable figure. They can be paid off principally in merchandise purchas- ed with the American dollar at the Mexican value, while the products of the mine will be sold in the markets of the world for the worlds standard dollar, Wnlcn means uIHeTence Oi more than 50 cents on each dollar.
 Richest He Has Seen.
 Shafts and tunnels along the top and into the sides of the mountain and into the ends of this great ore body very clearly outline it and show the structure of the ore body. The cToss-cut ore body is also clearly defn- ed These great masses consist in chalcocite, bornite, chalcopyrite, sul- nhides- carhonates and nearly all the
