WORKING OLD mlhEa

Old mines that produced thousands and even millions of dollars centuries ago in Mexico are being taken up at . rapid rate. and, according to a promi- nent mining man, all the old-time pro ducers in the country will soon have been purchased. In most instances hese mines have proven to be of great value. The crude methods em- ployed in centuries long passed failed to extract all there was in the ores and, aside from the mines themselves, the old slag dumps of these properties are being worked over again and the result is gratifying in the extreme.
 In all parts of the mountainous sec tion of Mexico can be found traces of the workings of hundreds of years ago. Many of these sites are famous and hundreds of fortunes have beer made. Now, with latter day equip ment and the knowledge men have who have made a special study of these properties are again working them. There are few cases where they have not been made to pay well and this has induced others to take up the old mines in different parts of the country, until now there remain but few of the famous old workings that are not being actually worked now or will be at an early date.
 One of the latest of these mines to be taken by a wealthy concern is the San Juan property, situated in Sonora, sometimes called the San Juan Bau. tista. The mines are northwest from Moctezuma, on the Rio San Juan George Woodward is the man who has made the deal, and a strong Ameri, can company will be formed to work the mines.
 The property was worked over 200 years and was in full operation in 1924, when a noted English mining engineer visited the place and de scribed it as the greatest property in all Sonora.
 It has record in the archives of the church and crown in the City of Mexico as having produced something like s50.000,000 in silver and has never been worked below the water level.
 Lessees who have been working upon the property in the past year have been shipping 800 and 1000 ounces of ore from one of the mines, and it is considered one of the most valuable properties in Sonora.
 There are about a dozen old slag dumps which belong to the mines, and these have been found to still retain high values, the original ore having been worked in a very crude way.
 Two years ago, from careful sam bling, these slag piles were estimated to be worth over s200.0O0 gold, and the values can be extracted at a min imum cost.
 By the floating of a company to work the property, it will mean a great deal to that part of hte district, and will probably result in several other mines being placed.

BOSTON MINING MEN ON
 A TOUR OF INSPECTION
PAY A HURRIED VISIT TO elssEe AND DEPART SAME DAY FOR HELvETiA-WAS NOT IN CON sulTATioN WITH THOs. COLE WHILE HERE.

Bisbee had the pleasure yesterday of entertaining another party of visit ing mining men. Yesterdays aggre- gation was composed of Boston men, and among their number were two directors of the Arizona Commercial Company, at present operating in the Globe district.
 The party was composed of W. H. Paine, c. H. Paine, N. L. Amster and \. F. Clough. They arrived on the morning train from Benson in their private car Sunset" and made a rush for the mines, bent on seeing all that their limited time would allow. They returned from the Bonanza Circle group shortly after 10 o'clock, and de parted for Benson again at 3:30 pm.
 Passengers on the outgoing train also were Thos. F. Cole and Capt. James Hoatsou. although they were not in the Amster party.
 The announcement was made by an official of the Calumet & Arizona Company last evening that Mir. Cole had departed for Los Angeles, where his family has been spending the sum- mer, and after a few days rest at one of the beach resorts in that sec tion would leave for Duluth, expect ing to arrive there shortly after the first of April.
 Capt James Hoatson will visit in the southern part of the Territory for few days and then return to Bisbee.
 The Boston party of mining men ex- pect to visit the Helvetia district to- day and Tucson tomorrow, and will also go to Southern California and re- turn home via the Bingham Consoli- dated in Utah and Butte.
 While here MT. Amster met Bob Williams of Cananea. MT. Williams has fattering prospect in Sonora, and it was for the purpose of pre- senting the proposition to MT. Amster that brought him to Bisbee yesterday.
 If there are any deals on between the Cole crowd and the Amster-Paine crowd. it was not manifested in Bisbee yesterday. and MT. Amster was not here to keep an appointment with Mir. Cole.
 The Bonanza Circle men deny stren- uously that any negotiations are under way looking to an absorption of the Arizona Commercial Company's prop critics by their company.
