Especial to Review.)

| hlning omp2ny IS m receipt or the
 report on its mines in the Moctezuma
 from Joseph L. Overmuller, a mining
 perience Mir. Overmuller Is widely
 known throughout this section from
 his connection with large mining en.
 terprises in Mexico. He has also
 been connected with some of the larg- est mining schemes known to the world
 in South Africa.
 In speaking of the gold group O:
 the Hidalgo Mining company. Mir.
 Overmuller says: The walls are
 well defined and the grouping can be traced nearly the whole length of the
 claims indicating permanency. These
 indications make this group very
 promising one"
 In speaking of the Hiealgo Mir Over
 muller says: There is not sufficient
 work done on this group on which to base definite opinion. though suf1- cieDt to encourage further investiga- tion"
 Of the Bstemo:e, he says: This group in my opinion is the nest i'm portant one owned by your company. When considering that these claims are situated in the same mineral belt as the Copper Queen, the La Cananea and Nacozari copper mines, together with surface indications, this group should prove of intrinsic value In con clusion I wish 10 say that I would recommend that all of the above prop critics be further investigated and
 with sufficient capital to do the same you slaould prove ;o possess mines of great magnitude"
 This ultimatum coming from a man of MT. Overmulier's standing in the mining world should prove of inter. esting reading 10 the mining people. not only of Arizona ana Sonora. but of the United States aI large. The Hidalgo Mining company is composed of men wel known through out Cocnise county as men of integri- ty and wide experience
 s. F. Mcguire. the head of the In ternatiouAl Land and improvement company of Douglas, is it's president.
 For yiee-president, the company has J. D. Suits. government mine survey or of the state of Sonora. Mir Suits. it will be remembered. was one of the original owners Of the now famed Fl Tigre properties.
 P. R. Pirtle. the secretary of this company. is one of the leading real estate men of Douglas.
 c. O. Ellis, treasurer, is cashier oi the Bank of Douglas
 The hoard of directors, in addition 10 the above named gentlemen, shows the names of T. S Lambertson, A c. Rordan-and s. L. Kelley, mine ouners of much note in Sonora.
 In view Of the fact tha, Nr Over muller's report shows So much that is favorable and considering the persca- pnel Of the Hidaigo company. it is ai- lmost foregone conclusioc that with the capital behind them, tie HIdalgo mines win make for themselves an +envious 'eputatjoD. The mines. as Eas seii before. are situt-,i III iLr Hoctezums district. Dez- Nacozari, So nora The holdings of -he Hidalgo comprise three groups: the Sonora. the Hidalgo and the BaIemota.
 Or the Sonora. ]; might be said that it is situatea close 10 and may be a continuation of the Churuniabani mine of he Pbeips-Dodge company. Plenty of wood and water cEaracterizes the surroundings of the Hidalgo holdings No great amount of work las been done on the Sonora grpp, but assays from the ledge so far as ,t' has been worked. show that the ores contain c very creditable amount of the yellow metal, besides silver and-copper Gold, however, is the predominating metal
 The HidaIgo group, comprising twelve pe-tenencias. is a silver, lead and copper proposition Quite a little development work has been done on the Hidalgo, an eighty foot incline shaft cutting an ore besfy of indefnabIe A crosscut at the foot of tbe shaft shows now twenty-three feet of ore and the foot wall has DO, yet been encountered.
 The B=:amote src&p coEpT;Ses tLS : Montana de Cob -e aad fhe Los An geies mines. Perr.aDen, surface crop 1 nngs characterize this group, while | dykes and c1mneys show where the ! big deposit lies. One vertical shaft | ninety feet in depth, an incline sha:; | of seventy feet and three tunnels show 1 that this group has been pretty .bor- oughly prospected. A large ore body I has been cut on the Batemotc. assays from which show from 13 to 23 per cent copper. also some silver.
