 countered.
 Development work will Le pushed as rapidly as possible until the size of the ore bodies have been determin- ed when working the property on q large scale will be begun. No ship ments have been made as yet, all the orc taken frola the shaft being placed on the dump.
 Up to the present work has not been retarded to any great extent by water as an average of only 5000 gal Ions in "A hours has been encountered. To be rid of this No. 5 Jeansville pump is employed for two hours each lay, The other equipment used is a 6xS hoist with a bucket and 15 h. p. boilers: 25 men are constantly employ ed about the mine, but two shifts heiEg ar work.
 On the other properties Of the con- pany very little work has been done but they would seem to be rich in mineral from the formations of the limestone. great cappings crowning the hills above them. One tunnel 900 feet from the main shaft has been run into the face of the mountain for 100 feet. Sixty feet Of prospect holes have been sunk at various points on the property. In all it is stated that there are good indications of ore.
 Last March when work was begun a solitary shack stood near the r1outh of the present shaft. So we'll has thc mines shown up at this time that a neat little settlement has sprung up as if by magic. This includes the superintendent office and assay rooms, a store. blacksmith shop. din ing room. several dwelling houses and some tents. In these are auartered 40 souls. The camp presents a par ticularly neat appearance surrounded on all sides by wooded hills with a small stream flowing through it. This shows we'll as it offers at once fuel mining timbers. and gooc water sup ply all the year round.
 The properties are situated five miles southeast of Cananea in the red belt of the Cananea ore zone. How we'll others think of the showing made to the present time is evidenced by the fact that in making denouncement for the Canaea Central Mining compa- ny the land was filed on to the bounr- aries Of the Ortega. The property is almost completely surrounded by the denouncement of others.
 Taken in every phase there is no reason to doubt that under it's pres- ent management, if work is pushed. as stated the mine will prove high ly satis( factory investment to its stockholders.
 The work that has been done at this property is of a permanent, excellent character Timbers have beer Tut in of size and quality insuring that diff ficuity will not be made in the future through lack in this regard. Holding tho ground has required excellent work inasmuch as all the way. there has been lime to contend with This cause for difficult ground in which to work Is no one to which mining men in the Cananea-Bisbee ore belt take exceptions. They are at all times glad 10 see the lime in this vicinity and the more of it the better they think of their property.
 President Miller of the Ortega Co, who recently visised the mine Tor a few days. departed for California high N enthusiastic over lnc OubiOch oe the property and the splendid progress that has been made with the work. NIT. Miller will return to Cananea about the 18th of the montn TOT the pudpose of attending the annual meet ing of stockholders of the company which will be held here at that time Following this and further visit to the mine he will return to South Bend Ind, in which city and vicinity strong financial interests hold the principal interest in the property. Later In he year Mir. Miller will return to the mine, bringing with him party oi his stockholders.
 This week Mine Superintendent Morse commenced shaft on .Iie Nor ita claim. The promise here for a big mine is exceedingly strong. The shaft will probably go 800 feet to gel to the main ore body. All the sur face is well mineralized.
