SAN DIEGO MINE NETS OWNERS
 PROFITS
3isbee Stockholder Receives Gratifying Report of Mex
 ican Property.

Fred c. Ames, of this city, one of the stockholders of the San Diego Mining and Development company. operating in Mexico, received some very gratifying news from the com pany property a couple of days ago. The news was to the effect that fifty peItinencias of land which the com parry had denounced short time ago, had been shown to contain very large values in gold and silver.
 The San Diego Mining and Develop ment company was incorporated by some merchants of San Diego. Cal, about one year ago, with a capital stock of seyenty-five thousand dol lars. The company immediately be- gan to develop a property which had been brought to their notice by NJ. F. Moore, a mining man operating in Mexico.
 The property is situated in the Altar district of Sonora, about eighteen miles from Santa Anna. A ledge containing antimony in very large quantities was discovered, and on exploration it was found that the ledge became richer n the metal the farther down it went. MT. Moore, who had been made su- perintendent of the property, conclud- ed to ship carload of the ore 10 the Matthewson shelter in New York. This was done. and the net returns on the carload was seven hundred and fourteen dollars. Anthony at that time was only worth fourteen cents a pound, whereas at the present time it Is worth thirty cents a pound. After obtaining such gratifying results Mir. Moore prosecuted the work with yigor and now is in shape where he can ship ten carloads to the smelters at Sr. Louis every month. There are fifteen pertinencias in this property, and the ledge seems to cover very nearly all of this ground.
 Having been so successful in this locality, the company about six months ago denounced fifteen more pertinen- cias about twenty-five miles from their antimoly property. This is a gold property and has shown values as high as $500 ton. On this property a snatt has been sunk to a depth of seventy feet, and from that level a tunnel has been driven about two hundred feet to the ledge. The prop erty is only in the development stage as yet, but it is very neary paying it's own way at the present time
 The third property denounced is also in the Altar district. short dis tance from Santa Anna In this prop erty there are fifty pertinencias. The property has been described as mountain of silver ore. The assays on it have been very high in gold and silver, and the officers of the company have taken steps to have it developed.
 The history of the San Diego Mining and Development company has been a series of the most gratifying successes. The company is composed of men in modest circumstances, A. J. Bradley, the president, being the only man in the company who is worth much money, the rest being what would be called in these days, poor men. Ever since they have commenced operations their different properties have re- quired but little money to make them productive and self-supporting. The capital stock of the company is divid-- ed among twenty men, and they will not sell it at any price. There is no doubt but that in the near future these men will realize very handsome re- turns On the money invested.
