 Doctor D. T. Frye, the we'll known destist, who was at Mazda lena and Cerro Prieto last month, is now at La Colorado.
 Mir. J. F. Tener, the Magdalena merchant aud mining operator, was expected to arrive at La Col prada last Saturday-coming in from the San Jayer region He is accompanied by MT. John Mil Ter of San Javier.
 Monday of the last week Mir. Pedro Penelli of La Colorado went to Goldhelds, Nevada, to join MT. c. A. Meeker, a prominent oper ator there, who was operating in Sonora at one time, and had wired Mir. Penelli to come to the new Nevada camp.
 MT. Archie D. Mckenzie, form erly at La Colorado, now residing in Los Angeles, who is interested in operations at Copete and the railway between Carbo and that place, was at Carbo last week on business in connection with the enterprises mentioned.
 Friday morning of last week there was an explosion in drift on the 400-feet level of the Creston mine at Minas Prietas by which one Mexican miner was killed and two others wounded. They had drilled into cartridge that had failed to explode when the pre- ceding blast was fired.
 Friday of last week there arrived at La Colorado from San Javier Messrs. E. NJ. Riggs and Richard A. Parker of Denver; J. Fred Will Hams, Tom Farrel and Doe" Wooley and Enrique Encinas of San Javier, strong party, travel ing under we'll armed escort of dozen native vaqueros. Messrs. Riggs and Parker were returning home to Denver, and Mr. Encinas is en route to the City of Mexico. The others stopped at Hermosillo.
 Among the consignments direct from Europe landed at Guaymas by the German barque Thalassa, now in the harbor, were 720 pack ages for Ramon Esquer, the pro- gressiv9 and enterprising merchant at La Colorado, whose establish ment "El Bazar" is one of the mer- cantile institutions of Sonora. An other consignment of 511 packages is yet in the hold of the barque, to come out and go to La Colorado next week.
 It is stated upon authority that Mr. J. Gordon Hardy, formerly superintendent for the Creston- Colorado Company at Minas Prie- tas has submitted recently, in New York, to successful operation for cancer, and will go to England to remain couple of months, until his complete recovery, when he will return to Dolores, Chihuahua, where he is superintendent of great mining properties operated by the
