 which IS attracting attention is that oy ned by the Southwestern Mining Company, the Mexican or holding company tbeing the Ortega Mining Company. s. A. The claim consistS of S45 acres and is located about i've miles southeast of Cananea,
 The main shaft is down about 125 feet and drift from the 100-foot level has been pushed about forty feet Both the shaft and drift are in good ere. The ore zone is about 500 feet wide and the values are carried in sil- yer. lead and copper. The formation ccrsists of quartzite. quartz, DOT pbyry, altered limestone and altered rhyolite. This formation Is almost identical with that of the mines of the Cananes Consolidated Copper Company.
 The mine is practically owned by Indiana capitalists and a careful and systematic exploitation of the mine is planned under the manership of B. K. Morse. .,'-
 American Mining Go.
 Develop ment work in the mine of this company Is exposing great bodies of good value ore with smaller quan- titles of very high-grade ore. Shaft No. is in very rich ore-drifts from the 100 and 250-foot levels are also in good ore.
 The Republic shaft is down 250 feet and drifts are being run in three di- rections and each of these are in good ere.
 The rumor that the owners of this property, Lindsay and Estabrook, of Arizona, had contracted to send 25,000 tens of ore to the Douglas smelter to be he died there and the selling price of the mine be determined from the results so that the Phelps-Dodge Co. night be able to gauge the price they would pay for 1t, has turned out to be false. It is true that such a proposi- | tion had been made. but the owners of the mine refused to sell, preferring to work the property themselves.
 The mine is located about mile and half south of Cananea and is said i to possess an extension of the famous veta Grande ore bodies. which have made Cananea the greatest copper camp in Mexico.
