A GREAT COPPER PROPERTY.
Development of Wonderfully Rich
 District South Of NOGaieS.

A company of Kansas City cap-
 italists passed through Nogales
 this week on their way home from
 the Sonora copper district, where
 they had been in the interest of
 the 'Gold Reef" company of Kan

 Extension de Ia Washington" copper properties, south of Nogales,
 short distance from the Sonora
 railway. which for some time past
 have received the attention of
 those seeking fred metal"
 We are informed that the experts
 who for some time past have been on the ground making a complete,
 thorough examination for the "Gold Reef" company, have report ed favorably 10 the home office, and big force of men will shortly
 be put to work exploring and de-
 veloping the large ore bodies under the able supervision of our towns
 man, Mir. A. M Conard, who, by the way, is recognized as one of the best mine managers in the southwest, it being largely through his efforts that the present big deal, which means so much to No gales business interests, was con- summated.
 These wonderful copper-silver- gold properties will be developed by the Sonora Copper Company, which in turn will be operated by the Gold Reef Company, of Kansas City.
 The properties, the great crop- pings of which can be seen from the Sonora railway, several miles away, contain four we'll defined parallel veins which have enorm- ous outcrops; in many places this outcrop is more than 150 in height, anG more than 15O feet in width. The slope of the mountain affords a wonderful field for cross-cutting, and the company will run a number of cross-cut tunnels which will tap the main ledge and ore bodies at depth of about seven hundred feet These cross-cut tun- nels will cut at least four strong veins and while it will prove up the ex tent of the ore bodies, it will also afford the cheapest means of the mines, which are only three miles from the Sonora rail- way, a branch Of the Southern 
 A splendid wagon road runs from the railroad to the company's pro- perty, where, in the very near future, hundreds of men will be night and day, developing what bids far to become second Cananea. within a short distance of Nogales, the natural supply point for this wonderfully rich copper belt, which is also rich in silver and gold values
