Following Is a letter received re

Through 5sexico:
BURcoMINA, Mexico.
Dec. IL, 1905.
We have reached another objective
point, namely, the railroad. We had
good weather the four days trailing,
which was made through an unin-
teresting section of country, prac-
tically uninhabited. The tran path,
though a new one, compared favor
ably with the old one, over which we
Travelled first from Ocampo to
Arechuiyo. All our party got along
nicely during the ten days continu-
Gus riding In saddle. every man
thought he had the best trail mule.
| have fully forgiven 'tDamn-You-
Anna" for making a public exhi-
bition Of her rider in ocampo. We
iare friends now, her sure footedness
on the billy goat pathways, over
which we Travelled for ten days, has
made her wonder of bravery and
skilfu1ness.
This new railroad point Is, or. viii
be when completed, within IS or 40
miles four mining site, which Will
give only one day to trail, whereas.
now we have three days staging ITO
miles and four days in the saddle.
Ny last letter to you was from
the mining sites, during the exam
nation and investigation Of the ores
OF the two mining experts. which we
have with us, namely, Prof. W o.
Evans, metallurgist, formerly Ohio.
who has had none years mining ex-
perience in Mexico, and Mr.. H.. A.
Clarke, of Mayer, Arizona, who has
had 80 years experience in mining
gold, silver and copper throughout
the Western States and territories
We appreciate having such reliable
and competent experts in our en-
ploy, from whom we get the true
facts and results Of each mine. Both
Of these experts fully agree that
they never saw so many large veins
and OF such rich values located so
near each other.
In my letter to you from the
camp at the mines I referred to the
multiple aerial trainway to the
smelter site. may make this more
explicit by stating that the loca-
ton for smelter work means mil
lions Of dollars saved in getting the
ore from the four mines already To-
Gated, with probability OF as many
more mines being located by means
Of aerial trainways, thus depositing
the ores on the smelter site at the
least possible cost. The water power
is as great an object in this smelter
site. There are several strong ana
never failing streams OF water con-
centrating into one stream. at which
point the whole current passes
through a meek canyon" which Is
$50 feet or more in height and which
is not over feet in width, thus en-
abling a water gate or dam to be
erected at very small cost, which
would not only give a large surplus
of water for all purposes, including
electric power, but also form a lake
of water one half by one and a nall
miles, that could not be surpassed
in beauty anywhere in the Mexican
Republic.
There are forty-five thousand and
eight hundred acres OF heavily tim
hered land. surrounding this smell
ter and mining site, all of which has
been secured by our company Tor
smelte- use. Each mine contains
the necessary 'flux" matter. which
is quite essential to successful
smelling. Both of our experts say
they have no knowledge of another
such abundantly supplied smelter
site. in the midst of what seems to
be many almost inexhaustible mines
Of copper. gold and silver. .
In speaking of ''our mines, |
only wish to convey the possession
of my interest as small share hold
or honestly regretting that cannot
hold the greatest amount of obtain
able stock in the Mary Mining Com
pany. who are the pioneer locaters
in that section of the State of Chi
huahua. Mexico. to which | refer IN
this letter. The Mary Mining Com
pany made their claims over three
wears ago in the above section
through the well known ]. E. Carna-
han. of Canton, Ohio. Since that
date there has been quite large
number OF mining companies both OF
the Republic and or the States,
which have taken up claims IN that
part of Mexico, none of which have
a smelter site. There will be ore
packed TO our smelter from a dis
lance of $50 miles.
