THE SONORA MINES.

THE SONORA MINES. | Those coming from Cananea during | the past week all agree in the state ment that the big copper district was never in better shape than at the ] lre sent time. The recent deal which 1 brought to Cananea the Tom Cole in- | teTcstS in the purchase of the Amer icau and Cananea-Duluth property is ah eady having its good effect. There | is a decided increase in the feeling of confidence in the country. The Greene company is making copper at about the same rate of production as has
 been reported for the year up to the present time. The Phelps-Dodge peo- pie are still pushing work on the Sier- ra de Cobra and every Gay it becomes
 more apparent that this property will
 at an early day become very import ant producer. It is expected that during
 the next year ,Ae Phelps-Dodge people
 will be ready for large reduction works
 in Cananea ip case they do not decide
 to send the ore from the Sierra de
 Cobre to the Copper Queen smelter
 at Douglas. It was reported this week
 that the Cananea Central would start
 work in the near future with a force of 1000 men. Col. Greene is now in
 New York attending to his great finan- Icial interests. The annual election of the Greene company will be coming on
 soon in New York, but we hear no
 more about the Wall street sharks
 trying to oust the promoter of this
 great enterprise.
 The Picacho Mine.
 During the week there was an of
 fer of the stock of the Picacho Min
 ing company in Bisbee and Douglas
 which has attracted some attention to
 that property and caused inquiry con
 corning its future. Reports from the
 property are of the most encouraging
 character. Work is being pushed on a three-compartment shaTt and mining machinery is expected to arrive at any l time. It is the purpose to install a , large number of electric drills and an , up-to-date hoisting plant which will ac-
 commodate the future workings Of this
 noted gold property. The recent work . in the tunnel which was started by the t original owners has developed a body , Of excellent gold ore which insures . the property a lCIig career of prOduc- ten. The Picacho mine is under the , control of the Clancy brothers, of De-
 tr0it. who also own the Gro MaXimO ; property only two miles from the Pi-
 caCho. 4 mill is now being construct I cd on the Gro MaXimo and it is the r Intention to work the first ore from i the Picacho mine in this mill. Mir - Clancy was in this city two weeks ago . and stated that the Picach0 mine had :, proven of greater worth by the de i velopmcnt work which has been done
 since its purchase than # was given - .-edit for aL the tInlss
 f At Nacozay:-
 8 '. s. Douglas, the general manage! r. s& Nacozari, has been away from tha! il camp for two months. but the produc z ton continues with regularity and dur I ing last month the concentrates sert out from there was in greater quan l. tity than for the month before. The
 concentrating mill is al present unable : 70 handle the ore which cou-d be takcI daily from the mines of the Mcctezums . Copper company and a new concen U trator has been planned and no doubt IS work would have been started or it! : construction before now had not MT 5 Douglas been called away. The new q mlh has been planned and much of the |, material required for it has been re ceiyad It will have a capacity of 1O0C e tons of ore per day. The main line o : the railroad has been constructed tc , the new mill site and also the narrow :. gauge road has been constructed be n tween the new mill and the mines. IT the town of ISacozari a great many i'm
 proyements are being made and more {. are in contemplation, including cluf house for the men and a-9ymnasiurn. 2 The Fl Globo.
 The Fl Globo gold mine seyensmiies : beyond Nacozari is making a most sat . isfactory record. The mill on this
 lproperty was started last fall with ter : stamps, cyaniding plant. etc, A i, short time ago five additional stamps
 were added to the mill and now ship ments of bullion concentrates and
 cyanide precipitates are coming out
 from that camp every week. gentle
 lran who visited the Fl Globo camp few days made the statement this week that he considered it one of the model gold camps of Sonora: not SC [ large as others, but in arrangements , cnd r1anagement a perfect model. This |, IDropertv had been under development , for two years by the Rcmadka broth CTS previous to the installation of the lmiH. Mr. c. A. Romadka, who has lh:s home in Douglas, is general man lager of the Fl Globo. Not only ha' ! the m'rl rroyed to be a complote sne x cess. but tfe work in the mine show that as depth is attained the ore grow:
 richer. The ore is very easy m'nst n aaG the force required to keep the mil . supplied does not average more taai
 Iwcrty miners and two-thirds of thes'
 gre Mexicans. A good wagon roat
