at does an old timer good to
visit the Bufa mine and to observe
the great change that has taken
Mace in the past few months. 1t
makes one feel that here we have
another company such as that at
la Dura, where the Crafts, Enoch
and Hartman made their millions
hv hard. honest work in legitimate
mining. Here is history repeating
itself with such men as Davis,
VIII and Frank Richardson and
Arthur Lane personally supervis-
inc the operation of fine property
they took in hand, developed and
have brought to paying basis.
Their concentration and smelter
are now completed and will be

EDITOR. Large ore bodies have
been blocked and ready to 90 to
the mill, and with Don Patricio
Quinn as foreman, there will be no
cessation in the output when once
they start the machinery.
ut is simply grand to see what
these men have done. To think of
all this great machinery having
been packed upon the backs OF
mules and burros all the way from
the Yaqui river, and much OF it
from Torres, seems the realization
Of an impossibility. 1t shows the
difference between mining under
ground and mining on paper, with
big Offices in New York, Boston or
Chicago, where the furniture is
richer than the ores in the mine
as is the case of many who pose as
big miners in Sonora.
Now, Mr.. Editor, | know the
history of most of the mines of
Sonora, and particularly those in
the Sahuaripa District, and | can
truthfully say that not mine in
all this region that has been
worked honestly has failed to pro-
duce results satisfactory to the
owners. You will hear some men
say that mining is a gamble. 1t is
no such thing. 1t is business
proposition pure and simple when
conducted by men who understand
the business and are honest.
How many good mines have
we seen ruined by bad manage
ment? There is the Trinidad for
instance. Had it not been a bon
ANA it would have been thrown to
the dogs, years ago-even in Mr..
Alsua's time. / knew when one
man who was paid five dollars per
day, occupied five days making
one axe handle,-at the old Trini-
dad-and | can recall scores of
similar instances. No common
mine could have stood such pun
lshment. Yet the Trinidad stood

now predict grand future for the
dear old Trinidad mine dear to
the hearts of all Sonorenses, on ac-
count of its splendid record of pro-
ducuon. Although it has been
worked for years the Trinidad is

tematic way, and opened it up
properly. Before his ownership
the Dolores had been worked in a
way, without any very gratifying
results. Yet when it fell into
the hands of the right man the
mine came to the front in good
shape; which goes to prove that
because a few men who claim to be
experts condemn a mine, it does
not necessarily follow that the
property is worthless. ] can re-
member the time when Mr.. Price
was called a fool by many men be-
cause he went to work upon the
Colorado mine at Minas Prietas.
One of the men who used to swear
at Mr.. Price for working the Colo
rada, and said there was nothing
in it, is working there today for
days wages-or was doing so a
short time ago.
But to return to the Bufa: That
mine was long held by Don
Patricio Quinn, who lost it through
no fault OF his own. Then it was
held fer a time by some natives
who never worked it, but awaited
patiently, as many of them do,
the advent of the enterprising
gringo. Finally he came in the per-
son of Davis Richardson, and has
since proved a grand success. Mr..
Richardson has been ably seconded
by his brother Will Richardson,
who is one OF the most capable and
efficient mine managers in Sonora
today. BY the way Will was
educated in mining and metallurgy
by Don Pedro Schabarum, the able
manager at La Dura, who stands
at the head of the profession OF
mining engineering. with a world
wide reputation.
There is much activity in min
ing in this Yaqui river region,
which has been induced greatly by

commence operations at Toledo, on

to assure a long and unbroken run

the Yaqui river region will enter

Ned was z, Bulge was 4. They
had the small boys propensity for
adopting every stray cat that came
in their direction, without drawing
any line Of color or sutecedents. The
grown-ups had protested without
avail and nearly every day found an
additional half-starved kitten running
about the place. At last the boys
father had an inspiration.
"See here, boys" he said. "I am
altogether too poor to feed any more
kittens. simply cannot afford it.
Now, il you really want to keep this
last little yellow kitten you have
brought in you will have to buy milk
for her with your own pennies. But
remember, she must be well fed and
the first time find her crying for
something to eat she will have to CO."
The boys talked the matter over
and readily agreed to this arrange
ment. The following day, however,
the yellow kitten was crying piteous-
ly for food when the father came
home. Only one Of the culprits being
present the Walls Of wrath broke on
his head.

tell you boys that the first time
heard that cat yelling around here
she would have to go?"

Ingenious Arrangement for Giving Lo-
connective It's Trial Trips.
One of the greatest triumphs Of en-
cheering skill is to be found at the
Great Western railway works at Swim
don, England, where an ingenious con-
trivance for giving a locomotive it's
trial trip without leaving the scene
Of its construction is in operation.
The feature Of the testing plant is
that the engine, after being placed
on the machine, runs on wheels fitted
with tires which correspond to the
trend and section of the permanent
way. A clever braking arrangement
secures a representation of the diff
culties encountered in running on the
metals and all the tests usually made
on a trial trip can be conducted in
side the works with all the appliances
at hand. The dangers of a break
down and subsequent blocking Of the
main line are thus obviated and the
work Of experimenting is simplified.
This machine is the invention of the
locomotive superintendent, ]. G..
Churchward, and is said to be the
only one in Europe.
