their values. During the past year the Tabatacachi mine has been sending out several cars of high grade silver and gold ores every month. At the present time there are four properties in that district shipping regularly to the smelter at Douglas and to the smelter at Fl Paso. It is expected that it will not be very long time now until machinery will be going into the Tabatacachi necessary for reducing the ores of that country on the ground.
 The Monte Visto.
 Superintendent Chas. F. Hanson, of the Monte Visto mine in which are in- terested a number of the residents of Douglas and Bisbee, has been in Douglas since Tuesday on business connected with this promising prop erty. The development work on this mine was begun more than year ago and now the work done amounts to more than 2O00 feet. Mir. Hanson yes terday purchased all the stock held by Gid Graham, of Douglas, ,swho was one of the original promoters of the company, amounting to 5000 shares. This property is now about ready for mill, but it has not yet been decid- ed just where it will be placed. Sev- eral mill men have already visited the property and the character of the mill required has been practically determin- cd. but whether it will be erected on . the river east of the property or whether the water Wal be pumped from the river to the mine is ques- tion yet open for determination. In the development of this property enor- mously rich gold and silver ore has | been encountered at various places in the shafts and tunnels; none Of this | high grade ore has been shipped and | it will all be held for reduction in the smill when it is ready. Unless all min Ting men who have visited and exam 1 ined this property are deceived there l is no doubt but what it will become one of the large Sonora producers be i fore another year shall be passed: A ! force of about forty men is now em- plCyed at the Monte Visto, entailing
 a monthly pay roll of about 5000. The money for development work on
 this property has all been raised by the sale of treasury stock to the pee Die of Douglas and Bisbee. Those who first bought the stock have at all times | 4 Of 1t whenever it was offered.
 Santa Rosa District.
 This district situated only eighteen
 miles south of Douglas has not beer doing much recently, still those who are acquainted with the properties that have tee1 worked there have never lest faith in it. The San Mar GUS recently under bond to MT Swair it is reported is 10 be taken over by
 a2 English company and worked or
 aa extensive scale. Besides the SaI
 Marcus there are a number of cOppeI properties in that vicinity which it i!
 believed will become large producer! in the future The Santa Rosa prop
 erty was in the hands of Douglas par
 ties three years ago who spent some tb.ng like s40,000 on it; the showing
 raade was good, but not sufficient tt
 warrant the payment of the amour
 agreed as the purchase price. How ever. the Santa Rosa company mad' derouncement of other properties il
 the vicinity which it is expected vii bc developed in the future. Minin; ren in every way competent to judg' are confident that the Santa Rosa dis trict will yet sustain one of the i'm pcrtant mining camps of Sonora.
