in the Copete are pitching. Shafts
are sinking to reach these ore
bodies at depths of 500 to 600 feet,
and some very high grade ore has
been already discovered. Mr.. j. j..
Hardwick of Phoenix is general
manager, and Mr.. Louis Killeen
assistant general manager.
Eastward from the Copete is the
Iron Duke, a very valuable prop
erty pronounced by experts to be
very promising. 1t is owned by
Walter t. Logan OF New York.
Adjoining the Sultana, on the
south side of the Cerro del Orc is
the Colorado group, the property
of Mr.. Charles S. Mills and asso-
ciates. There are now more than
5000 feet of development work
and more than two hundred thou
sand dollars worth of rich gold
rock are reported exposed and
ready for stopping and reduction.
Connected with the property is a
small mill at Carbonera, which
Mr.. Mills contemplates starting
upon reduction of ores very shortly.
As soon as an adequate water sup
ply can be secured the mill will be
moved up to the mine about five
miles away, and enlarged to
great saving in ore reduction.

Carbonera, near Ranchito, and
nine miles south from Rayon, is
La Dorado, property owned by
Don Francisco G. Aguilar of Ures,
project of the district, which is
yielding rich ores carrying great
values in gold, silver and copper.
AS yet it is in the prospective
stage, but with an arrastra it is
yielding from thirty to sixty
ounces of gold per month, and
gives promise of becoming a great
mine.
Close to Carbonera is Las Chivas,
a very fine lead and silver PROPOSE
ton, probably one of the best in
Sonora. now owned by Messrs.
Jesse Scobey and II. NJ. Claggett
of Washington Camp, Arizona, and
Mr.. Whitley of Denver, Colorado.

WAYSIDE NOTES
The Copete Country and San Miguel.
A Very Rich and Interesting Re-
gion, Which Has Great PossibiIi-
ties.

Friday morning, March 4th !
got away from Copete, stopping an
hour on my way out to visit with
Mr.. Giroux at the Sultana mine,
who greeted me cordially and urged
me to unsaddle and stay, an in
vitation | was constrained to de-
cline.
Leaving the Sultana, about a
mile below | passed an arrastro
grinding ores from the Colorado, a
property owned by Messrs. Charles
). Mills and associates, from which
mine there is every reason to an
ticipate great results in the near
future.
1t was nearly noon when |
reached the residence of Mr.. Mills,
close to Carbonera, at which point
my route returned to the San
Miguel river, from which it had
diverged below Rayon. / was
warmly greeted by Mr.. Mills and
his charming lady, and made
quite at home.
Mr.. Mills is one of the old timers
Sonora, having come here with the
advent of the Sonora railway, now
more than twenty years; and he
was many years trainmaster in the
service of that company. More
than twelve years now he has been
engaged in mining in the Copete
region, and, with his associates,
owns some very valuable prop
critics, proved so by actual develop
ment, with large ore bodies in
sight.
Mr.. Mills expressed himself as
possessed of the greatest confidence
in the Copete region as offering the
very best inducements for invest
ment of capital and prospecting.
1t has already several well de-
veloped properties, and there are
many more that can be denounced
and developed. He cannot under
stand why men should go so far
away to hunt mining properties
when there are SO many opportun-
tiles close to the railway, in the
Copete country.
The region is about ten miles
long, running in a northeasterly
and southwesterly direction, and
five miles in width. 1t extends
from Carbonera up the San Miguel
river to point between Ranchito
and Rayon, and spreads from the
river westward. 1t includes the
Copete mine, which has been pro-
nounced by every expert who has
visited it as having the making of
one of the greatest mines in So
nora. One of the most recent to
pronounce judgment in that way
is General Henry Ide Wiley, con-
sulting engineer for the Yaqui |
Copper Co., and one of the most |
eminent mining engineers of the
day, with world wide reputation,
who visited the Copete in January.
Work is now in course of prosecu
ton under management of Mr..
Charles F. Spraker of Nogales, a
very capable and experienced mine
superintendent. The Copete ores
are rich in copper and gold.
In the immediate vicinity of the
Copete mine is the Sultana group,
owned by Mr.. Joseph L. Giroux |

the road, following down the river
pretty closely, with San Miguel,
some ten miles away, the terminus
of the days journey.
For a long distance the road
follows the windings of the river
between low lying hills and steep
but low bluffs of lime, conglomerate
and lava upon either side. About
six miles from Carbonera the skirt
ing hills receded and there was
spread before the enchanted eye
broad valley, two or three miles
across, brilliantly green with the
verdant hues of the young wheat
covering the broad expanse, while
beyond, gilded by the mellow rays
of the declining sun.
"The bald. blear skull Of the desert
Was with glowing mountains crowned
That burning like molten Jewels
Circled its temples round"
Almost as far as the eve could
reach was spread this lovely carpet
of green, skirted to the west by the
desert beyond the slender thread
OF the life giving acequias, from the
westward edges of which arose the
melting mountains shimmmering
in the glancing rays of the after
noon sun, the great orb a fiery
spot in the midst of an opalescent
sky. To the southwark, arose
mass of dark green, and beyond,
through the narrow spaces between
the leafy branches of a clump of
cottonwoods, cleaned in the declin-
ing sun a suggestion of white walls
and restful havens. The latter
were the town of San Miguel, four
miles distant, glimpses of which
were granted through the umbra-
geous setting of the line of trees in
the distance; and the great carpet
of green between, and across the
valley to the southwest. compris-
ing several square leagues in ex.
tent, was the great wheat fields of
the Haciendas 'El Populo," and
"de Islas," the superb properties of
the Abascal Brothers of Hermo-
sillo.
AS the sun suddenly dropped be-
hind the low range of mountains
to the westward, its last dying
rays gliding the arched tower upon
the church, suspended within the
arches of which ancient bells with
cracked and discordant clamor
tolled the hour of six, | rode into
the town of San Miguel, and
my way to the only hos
telry, kept by an old man named
who proudly informed
NE that there were two other
4mericanos beside myself who were
guests in his house. A little later
hey came in to supper, and |
ound that one of them had met
ormerly, at Magdalena. He is
Mr.. w. Strickland, an assayer and
photographer. His companion was
Mr.. H. Stuart, also photographer.
They had been at San Miguel some
en- days, and had been doing
good business. They expected to
get away the following week, and
20 probably to Rayon. They ex-
oect eventually to work around to
he southwark, to Ures, Matape
md Minas Prietas, thence down
beyond the Yaqui and into Sinaloa.
San Miguel is a small town of
perhaps thousand population,
md very fair trading point.
