SAN JUAN GRAND
An Embryo Mining Enterprise, Neax the Yaqui River, in the ures Dis- trict of Sonora, From Which Great Results are Possible.

In the Sibichicori caflon, out in the southeast corner of the Ures district of Sonora, about five leagues from the town of Soyopa, on the west bank of the Yaqui river, and about seventy-hve miles eastward from Minas Prietas, there is the little mining camp of San Juan Grande, where several well known gentlemen residing at Minas Prietas { La Colorada) and Torres are developing several very promising mining properties, which with time and q reasonable outlay of capital can be made among the best in the state of Sonora,
 The owners are Colonel F. H. Seymour, of Torres; Doctor Hughes of La Colorado; and Messrs. A. G. Pace, John Sattory and Charles Laux. The three latter named gentlemen remain at the camp, and are engaged in the work oi development.
 The properties in the enterprise include both placers and lodges, The placer ground comprises sev- eral hundred hectdres of land along the Sibichicori and Rebreo canons, which unite at the camp, and sup ply an abundance of water for hydraulic operations.
 4 pumping plant and hydraulic machinery have been installed and operated, with satisfactory re- suits, as a prospecting proposition. The work done has thoroughly proved the ground. The gold ex- tracted is quite coarse, and occurs in such quantities that worked upon an extensive scale, with heavier pumps and larger nozzles, to work a larger area in given time the returns would be very handsome and profitable.
 The lodges are included in two groups of properties, one about a half league north of the camp, and the other about the same distance away on the south. The first is known as the San Juan group, the other us the Reina Prieta.
 The San Juan group includes three Announcements. named res- pectively La Union, Sansauier and 4San Jataa Grdnde. Through them run three great lodges, upon which are many aatigtto workings -tajos lopen cuts) and tunnels, showing that Iargequantities ofore have been extracted during former operations, in the days of Spanish occupation, These lodges vary from eight to sixteen feet in width, and are pro- life in copper sulphides rich in gold. At the surface the pay streaks are not more than eighteen inches in width, but they widen as depth is attained. Below the water level, which has not yet been reached the lodges will be found highly mineralized their full width.
 The ledges occur in porphyry, and run parallel with great dyke of trachyte, that can be traced in a southeasterly and northwesterly direction distance of several miles, and is cut down into by the Sibichicori cafion. The lodges are also traced several miles, but the

 tracted several tons of higMgri sulphides of copper, which tAeg smelted in a small furnace, fe- sulting in high grade matte which ran 90 per cent copper and $67 gold per ton, with 30 ounces in silver.
 About 1000 feet southwest from the San Juan location is the Fioteta, an independent location, also under the same ownership, through which runs a network of rich lodges, crossing one another, some rich in silver, going from 60 ounces per ton to as high as 400 ounces per ton, and from $4 to $6 per ton in gold; others are galena and yet others copper. They have been extensive worked by untlquos.
 The Reina Prieta has three great lodges, parallel, and but a few yards apart, which are united at several points in their courses; and at those points of union they form great ledge forty feet in width. The country is diorite and serpen- tine upon one side, and porphyry upon the other. The lodges run southeast and northwest, and there is a cross ledge which carries gold and silver. The main ledge has {. heavy iron gossan, which broken through opens into rich peacock copper which yields from 14 per cent in the red metal upward, and from $1.50 to $500 gold, and twelve ounces silver per ton. Like in the San Juan the gold increases with depth,
 But little work has been done as yet upon the Reina Prieta-a sixty foot shaft being all done so far; but that has yielded rich ores.
 The operations heretofore have been purely of prospecting na- ture. The small furnace which has been erected and run to try the ores has turned out a high grade matte and black copper, which de- monstrate, that upon large scale the properties can be made b pay handsomely. The operations con templated include extensive devel- opment work and large reverber- atory furnace for reduction of ores. With those, the San Juan Grande camp will become large and per- manent producer.

When the smelter starts up again 1t will be hoisted and sent to the furnace.
 The formation is a contact be tween syenite and quartzite, and the ores are lead and silver sul phides, very rich in both metals.
 Mr. Wiener bore good evidence to the efficacy of La Barranca coal. He assured me that he had never known better fuel for smelling. He said that the Santa Rosa ores are reduced with a charge of 10 per cent of La Barranca coal, while at Leadyille IS per cent of Colorado coal are put inso charge.
 As stated in the preceding bunch of these Notes, the Wyman Mining Company's concentrator IS closed down awaiting resumption of oper- ations by the Toledo smelter. From information gathered later, it can be said that will occur about the first of January.
 Saturday morning 1 paid an other visit at San Javier, and afterward Init the road" for Las Goteras, passing around the west to the south side of Los Bronces peaks, and reaching the Goteras camp shortly after the noon hour. There I remained until Sunday morning.
 Mir. B. A. Ogden, manager for Las Goteras Mining Company, and Mrs. Ogden, extended a most cor dial welcome, and l joyed my visit greatly.
 In the course of the afternoon l went over to La Barranca, about half mile distant, following | trail across t steep ridge. Several gentleman 1 had hoped to meet had gone to Guaymas, Hermosillo, or Suaqui, and consequently my stay was short.
 Since the death of MT. Martin, and the departure of Mir. Leverett for his home in Arkansas, the property of the Sunset Develop ment Company (the coal mines has been in the hands of MT. Ericsson; but no work is being done at present.
 Las Goteras Mining Company iS a California corporation, which took over the property about two years ago, with Mir. B. A. Ogden in charge. In that time new shaft has been sunk about 300 feet, and a large body of high grade sulphides of silver, with a great deal of na- tive silver developed. The ores run 250 to 800 ounces per ton.
 A shipment was made to the To- ledo smelter when it was in opera ton last spring, and 1t yielded 28,000 ounces of the metal.
