CANANEA. April 1O.-Ground was broken last Saturday for the new sta tion for the c. R. Y. & P. Railroad. The station is expected to be in use by the first of June. The contract calls for a two-story building of the Mission style, to cost $30.000, gold. On the lower floor will be the ticket office. the separate waiting rooms. the baggage rooms and the toilets. On the upper floor will be the general offices and two sleeping rooms to be used by the watchman or anyone de tained doing night work. The build ing will be an ornament to Cananea and is indicative of the new era of prosperity which is coming to this city.
 sawmiIl Almost Finished.
 The c. c. c. Co.'S sawmill at the foot of the Mesa is almost finished. This mill is larger than the old one and is expected to prove sufficient for the needs of the camp for all time. The timbers for the mines will be cut and sawed at this mill and they will be carried to the mines by the "third-rail'' which will be in operation within the next two months. The advent of the "third-rair' is ex- pected to be a boom for the Mesa. as the miners will be encouraged to come down to the Mesa to live. Trains will be run for every shift and before long it is expected that the upper camps of Capote, Chivatra and Elisa will be deserted.
 Ball Fights.
 | The bull fight last Suaday was very well attended, there being about 1,2OO people who passed the gates. Of the | six bulls, two were killed. The killing was more in tho line of an assasSina tion. out the crowd seemed pleased l A feature of the afternoon was the ] two bullfighters stuffed with excelsior who attempted to attack the bulls. One of these attempted to hide from the | bull behind a shield erected for that purpose, but was unable to get be | hind it, owing to the fact that he was i four feet through the stomach and the shield would only allow man about l two feet wide to hide. The bull caught | him and spread excelsior all over the ring. but was finally leased away be fore he could do any damage to the man himself.
 EstreIia del Norte.
 Development work has started or the property of the Estrella del NortG Mining Company near Arizpe, Thi: mine is an antigua" and is located ten miles from Arizpe in northerly direction. The mine has one of the most romantic histories of any of tho famed mines in Sonora and was dis covered only by accident There i! a ruined mission in that neighboThoot and tradition tells that from a certain doorway of the mission house the min CTS could be seen taking the rich lore: of silver and gold" out of the tunnel For many years it was supposed tha 1 certain door was the one mentioned and 1t was not until recently that an other doorway of the ruins was founC and a prospector, acting on the sup position that this was the door spokel of in the old mission records, took ; telescope and searched the opposit hillsides. He discovered what looket to him to be the mouth of tunne which had been partially concealed D. vegetation. Ee went to it and con
 meRced work, and was rewarded b.
 finding evidence of old workings an
 some very ancient tools. He took as
 says from the breast of the tunnel a soon as he could and some of thes ran as high as 2,0o9 ounces in silye and carry a large percentage of coI per.

 Stroyick, and secretary and treasure s w. J. Phillips. Work has been star , ed 200 feet below the old working I and the tunnel is already in ore.
