IN MINES OF SONORA
Development Results in Estab- fishing Great Extent ''of
 Ore Bodies.
CANANEA CONSOLIDATED
 REDUCTION CHANGES.

| CANANEA, May 7.-The great im- proyements in the reduction depart:
 rnent of the Cananea Consolidated Cop per company are going forward with
 all speed and considering the difficult ties under which they are being inaug- urated are proving very successful. The reyerberatory furnace of the l company was blown in on April 23, | and is giving great satisfaction. Il is the second largest in the world, be. ing exceeded only by the Anaconda | furnace at Anaconda, Montana. The dimensions are 100x20 feet with a fire box 7x1G feet. Along the narrow guage line from Cananea to Puerto citos the mines are all showing sIgns Of increased activity. New hoists are being put up and the tonnage or ores is rapidly increasing. he development work is proving the fact that the Can anea ore bodies are practically mex baustible and that all the promises made by the company can be more than fulfilled.
 A feature of these ore bodies Is the fact that incI eased development has shown them to be rapidly increasing i1 values and that they are perhaps the greatest single deposits of copper in the world.
 Ronquillo Copper Go.
 Development work has shown that this propefty Is soon to. be a great mine instead of promising prospect as was Ropularly supposed. The com Saay has sold contronniing interest ;r tho mi, As to 2 party of wealthy Bis bee mining men who will do all in their power to develop the mine and as these men have the moEey II is safe to say that the future of the prop. erty is assured. This arrangement will make no difference to the slp'ck- holders in the present compe-ny, as their stock will be just as good in the development company which is to be formed as 1t has been in the old Ron quillo Copper Go.
 Work has commedced on the swan sea" mine of tbls company, which is in Cananea, one-half mile from the Cobre Grande mine of the 4 C's. About tH enty men are at work and while the development work is very small at present it has demonstrated the fact tfat the property is as good az its famous neighbor, and will make ! good copper mine.
 Arizoe Mining Company. Work on the 95foot level of the 1 winze which is being sunk from the drift on the 105-foot level has proved that the we'll known "Alacran vein' | increases ill value with depth and that l it is a true Assure vein. In the bot | tom of the winze the ore is well de fined vein of about six feet in width and carries coo ounces of silver and small percentage of copper. | On the Rev de Ccbre property the vein is also well defined and ssldes carrying large amounts of silver has a large percentage of native copper. 1 It is expected that the development work will be rapidly pushed and that l the ore taken out in this work will be shipped as soon as ready. over SU | tons of this high grade silver ore l taken from the Alacran mine is al ready on the dump.
 Orc Maxinno Mining Go. 1 Work has commenced on the ware house at the company corral in Can ] al ca. SD that it will be reaCy to re- ceiye the parts of the mill which are HOW on the way to Cananea- This mill will treat the ores of tho company at an estimated cost of 80 cents per ton As the ore will average about $50 per 1 ten 1t is easy to see that the mine will ! live up to it's promise of being one ol i the best paying and richest gold prop | critics in Sonora. The stock of inc mine is held by the Clancy Brothers of Detroit, who manage the nIIhe nd | their associates in the east.
 1 ortega Mining Go.
 The main development shaft is now | down 150 feet and Is looking very fa- vorable While it has been in barren ground for the greater part of its 1 length 1t now shows unmistakable fn- dications of being near the main body ot ore. In fact, in the bottom of the shaft the ore is already coming in and assays show very promising values.
 Sonora Monanzs Mining Go.
 The fact that ii is impossible to buy any stock iu this mine is sufficient in- | dicatfon of what it's owners think or it and what its future will be. A com | p!ete camp outfit has been purchased | and sent to the property near lmuris.
 and the working force is being daily increased. A shipment Of ore Is ex- pected very soon and it Is said that 1t
 will average very high in both silver and conner.
