"Bronzuda" on the west. It is much larger in area, being twenty pertenencias, and through it from north to south, runs great ledge that has not been developed. Upon that ledge is strong show of cop per which would doubtless repay development work.
 Within 700 yards of the mine there is water for all practical pur- poses, and in the mine below depth of 500 feet there would be developed a flow of water that might be used for some purposes. although it is strongly impregnated with sulphur (the ores in the ledge being sulphurets), and would be unfit for culinary purposes. With a camp once in operation upon a scale that would justify it, the cor rect plan would be to lay pipe line to Minas Prietas. and connect with the system of the water com pany supplying that camp, which pumps water from the San Jose river, twenty miles.
 There is wood in the vicinity, and contractors for supplying the companies operating at Minas Prietas do so at $7 per cord. An important item to be taken into consideration is that labor is cheap in this vicinity. Ordinary laborers get $50 per day, and under ground miners 100 per day. All prices quoted are in Mexican money.
 As hereinbefore stated these properties are owned by Munoz Brothers of Hermosillo, who will be pleased to reply to inquiries from responsible parties.

Municipal Election.

The result of the municipal election Monday was a complete landslide for the Taxpayers Ticket, the various candidates on that boleto getting about two votes to one for those opposed to them.
 The total vote cast was but little more than 200. The three leading candidates. Mix. Spink and Nolan, being upon both tickets, were sure of election. Following is the vote as returned:
 For Town Trustees; Mix 166, Spink I'll, Schuckmann 14S, Fleis- cher IA, Cranz 143, Geblar Al, Gates 126; Peck 56, Van Trees 57, Case 49, Sturmer 43. Smith 50.
 For Clerk: Munch IF; Bur- goon 73.
 For Marshal: Lopez 130: Burns 62.
 For Street Commissioner: J. K. Nolan 178.
 The Electric Light franchise was defeated by vote of 55 for, 80 against.
 Wednesday evening the retiring board held it's final meeting, closed up it's business, when the newly elected officials were sworn in, and organization was effected by the election of MT. F. F. Cranz as chairman (ex-officio mayor); B. A. Amsden, city attorney; Dr. Il. w. Purdy, city physician.

netted the owners $7 ,423.N U. S. currency.
 The character of the ores in the "Bronzuda" are a white quartz through which are disseminated fine crystals of gold and silver suIphurets. Upon the hanging wall there usually occurs a thin strip of these sulphurets, an inch or more in thickness, which Is very rich in gold and silver.
 The ledge undoubtedly goes to greater depths, and with sinking other and perhaps greater kidneys of rich ore will be developed ard can be extracted at a handsome profit. To do so effectively and economically sinking new verti- cal shaft would be advisable from the top of the hill, and westward from the present line of working to cut the ledge at a depth of 600 feet. from which point drifting ano crosscutting would doubtless de velop new and rich ore bodies that pay handsomely.

cribed as ''lenticular" or kidney" shaped i. e. the ore bodies are great lenses or kidneys of ore 200 to 300 feet in diameter, some of them oval in shape with the longer diameter yet greater, and several feet in thickness at the center, gradually thinning to few inches at the edges, all around. The ledge in the "Bronzuda" cuts through hill about 1900 to 1900 feet across from one ravine to an. other. Along the top of that hill the antiguos, as the early Spanish miners are called, opened four of the lenses or kidneys described, and extracted all their ores, which tradition and the record of taxes paid say to have been very rich. One of the kidneys mentioned was more than seven feet in thickness and several hundred feet in extent, as shown by the contour of the walls.
 In 1896 the present owners, Messrs. Mufioz Brothers, ran a tunnel in the north side of the

hill, following the ledge, and cut ting under the lower edge of the first extracted kidney at that end of the antiguo workings, at depth of about 200 feet below where the old workings entered the ground above, and little to the west, of course, because the old workings followed the pitch or incline of the vein. (The engraving shows the tunnel and part of the base of the waste dump from the old workings above). When the tunnel was in about 125 feet long a winze was sunk upon the vein, following down the incline distance of 300 feet, developing and extracting the ore in kidney that was fully 800 feet from north to south, and fully three feet thick in the center. The books of the Mexican Ore Co, at Hermosillo. where the ores were
 sold, show that the ores extracted

additions will soon be running steadily upon high grade silver ores. The "Zubiate" is also an an- tigua with a record of production going back about 200 years.
 "Bronzuda" is reputed to have been a richly paying mine before the "Minas Prietas" and the ''Zubia.e" were known. The mine is in fine formation for permanence and depth, with all the character istics that go to retain in the ledge all of its original values. The country rock is very massive, fine grained, diabasic porphyry, very hard and tough. Leaching of values from veins in such forma- ton is improbable. The walls are too compact and fine grained to permit it. The vein is true fis- sure, running from north to south, pitching about 62 degrees to the west. The vein or ledge is of the kind des-

Tn the Hermosillo district of Sonora, about three miles north from Minas Prietas are the Luz" and the "Bronzuda" mines, two good properties adjacent, which would be well worth the attention of mining men. and can be secured upon very good terms by anyone of responsibility who will take and work them in good faith.
 The properties under considera- tion are but short distance from the main travelled road between Minas Prietas and Zubiate, two of the greatest mining camps in So- nora, which are but twelve miles apart. Wagons and carriages are driven directly to the properties.
 At this point it will not be amiss to state that both Minas Prietas and Zubiate are now in operation. The camp at Minas Prietas has been operated now continuously more than quarter of century, and there are constantly running two great mills, each with daily capa- city of crushing 175 tons of ore. The bullion shipments are said to aggregate several millions of dollars annually, in gold and silver bars. The history of the camp goes to show that some of the mines there, notably "Minas Prietas" and "Las Verdes" were worked as far back as 1754. They had been abandoned long time, but were taken in hand by an English company about 1850, and successfully worked several years. That company erected a 40-stamp mill. In the early sos these mines passed into the hands of an Ameri- can company, which worked them several years, and then shut down. About 1880 two men from Cleve- land, Ohio, named Chamberlain and Price, secured the "Creston" mine, adjacent to the "Minas Prietas," and developed it into great property; which is still in operation. They secured also the Colorado" mine, about mile away, and consolidated the two, the company name being "Creston- Colorado" Both of the men named died more then ten years ago, but the enterprise they inaugureted yet exists, one of the greatest in Mexico. Later the company se- cured the abandoned "Minas Prie- tas" mine, from which several millions of dollars that had been overlooked in former operations, were extracted. About three years ago the adjacent Fortuna" ground was secured and in that a body of high grade gold and silver ore has been developed which is said to be of sufficient magnitude to keep the mill running many years.
 Adjacent to the Colorado" mine are the properties of the Grand Central Mining Company, which have also produced millions of dollars worth of gold and silver bullion. They have been more re- cent in inauguration of operations.
 At Zubiate a new 40-stamp mill Is completed and with some recent
