SONORA RIVER GOLD PlAcERs.
A. w. Tennant Tells of What is Be- ing Done By His Company in
 Sonora

A W. Tennant, president of the Sonora River Gold Placer Mining com. pany, is in Cochise County for a short visit. Mir. Tenant formerly lived in Douglas, but has his headduarters in Nogales now. The property of this company is situated below Cananea. about 140 miles south of Nogales. At present an English company is. inves- tigating the proposition. The gold, NIT. Tenant says, is the finest placer gold that he has ever seen. Experts who have tested the run of the gold, estimated the value at $40 a yard. Average figures give the runs at from s1 to S1.04 per yard. There is plenty of water for use in the placer work, there being a good supply on the com pany's property. A pump is used to send the water where the gold can be operated on. This pump, which is found to be too small, sends the water 1000 feet. It Is thought with a larger pump water could be furnished 5000 feet, which distance would be great enough for the purpose of the com pany. This would run the water to the top of hill. There the water could be used in cleaning up the gold. Down below the hill the water could then be used once or twice more in the same process. This plan, which it is thought will prove very practicable, will result in a great saving of water. the same quantity being used several times. except for slight losses during the different processes.

Paradise Is
 Having Boom
THERE IS MUCH MINING ACTIVE. TY AND MANY MEN ARE GOING TO THAT SEC
 TON.

Trains from every direction are carrying men to Paradise, the new mining town in the Chiricahuas. While there has been some prospect ing and assessment work carried on in that section for twenty years the country never attracted very much at- tention until the Chiricahua Develop ment company purchased a group of copper mines from Captain Burns and began development work on an exten- sive scale about six months ago. This company is now employing in the neighborhood of one hundred men and are installing a vast amount of up-to- date development machinery.
 Recently other mining properties have been secured by other companies. who have means for developing them.
 Two towns have sprung up. Paradise is the original town but at the mines of the Chiricahua Development com pany another town is well under way, the company having erected some sub. stantial buildings.
 A large number Of new locations have recently been made in that vicinity and the general opinion of mining men who have visited the dis

Ten Mexican Miners
 AT LA BLANCA
 Dashed 10 Death
REPORT OF ACCIDENT AT LA BLANCA MINE IS CON-
 FiRMED.
Inch and cne-Half Steel Cable Parted Precipitatins Cage, Upon Which Were Ten Laborers, to the Bottom of the Shaft.

Mexico City, April 29.-The Herald says: Captain Francisco Rule, owner ana operator of the La Blanca y Ane- xas mine, of Pachuca, in which the terrible accident happened. as report ed in the Mexican Herald. has receiy- ed a teleg.am confirmatory of the news of the fatality. The telegram stated, however. that but ten men had met death, all in the cage having been dashed fully $50 meters to destruc- tion.
 Captain Rule is at a loss to under stand the cause of the accident. He says that he has been mining for 40 years, and has prided himself on never having had an accident. He is con sequently much depressed.
 The Accident Unexplained.
 Had l not taken every precaution in the world against just such an ac- cident. would not feel quite so bad D said he. in his room at the Hotel Bazar- "I cannot imagine how the disaster could have happened.

 While they were waiting for the return of the cage the awful b-eat took place and ten men were dashed to death in the bottom of the sharr One Englishman named Mir. Eddy was actually in the shaft on the eIe- vator. when he happened to recollect that he had left some tools in the blacksmith shop, and went back there to get them.
 That act saved his life. for not a soul on that elevator came out Of the shaft alive
 The accident happened in the west end Of the San Juan shaft. which had been used for hoisting ore for months"
 Captain Rule has left for Pachuca taking with him the -oDe with which 10 repair the damage. The damage to fhe shaft was practically nothing, said the telegram which CaDtain Rule had announcing the ten deaths.
 It is stated that the bodies of the ten men were horribly mutilated and that every bone of their bodies was broken in the fall of $50 meters.

 Advices from Butte, Mont, do not indicate that the Anaconda mine, which has paid s24,000.00O in divi- dends. is worked out as has been per sistently reported in the east It is safe to say that there is more ore blocked out in the mine than can be found in any other mine in the world. On the 2,000 foot level, which is the deepest working. there is vein fifty feet wide, the center of which contains five feet of solid copper glance. On the 1,600 foot level there is a vein of similar proportions. and on all sides are 10 be found large bodies of ore. The company will some time sink the shaft deeper and open up the immense veins below, but there is enough ore to keep the large force of miners busy for a long time. The two other mines of the Anaconda company that were included in the supposed worked out properties are yielding more good ore than they ever did. The rumor in regard to these mines prob ably originated in the fact that the hoisting of ore through the shafts on the property was suspended many months ago. The two mines are To- Hated between the Mountain Consoli- dated and the Bell, Diamond and High Ore. four Of the company's large pro ducers. the lower workings of which are connected with the workings of the two, and it is through these mines that the ore bodies are being worked. The ore is raised through the shafts of the Mountain Consolidated and the Dia- mond. The large ore bodies of the High Ore.

The Anaconda mine has been shut down tor three weeks and 500 men are idle. It is stated that repairs will be completed and work resumed the lat ter part of this week. The ores of the Anaconda mine have been mixed with and worked with the ores from the other miues of the Anaconda company. Washoe and Parrot, but 1t is estimated that its own output has been 500 tons a day ever since the resumption Of work last fall while the outlook for the future is that that rate will continue.

EUROPE CONSIDERS U. S.
GOOD FIELD FOR EXPORTS

official statistics of the United States OF
1902, compared with 1870, show an increase
in the nse Of foreign wares as follows.
French 94 per cent, German 277.6 per
cent, Belgian 1855 per cent, Italian 360.I
per cent, Spanish 1918 per cent, British
81 per cent.
Naturally, Great Britain furnished form
erly more manufactured wares to tho
United States than did any other country,
but statistics show that imports from
Great Britain during the last thirty years
increased only per cent while those from
Germany, France and other European eoun-
tries show a large increase In 1902 Great
