in Boston publication, and is as fol-

"After the purchase by the United
States Smelling & Refining company
the extraction Of ore from the different
mines at Pachuca was stopped. The old
mill was torn down and work com
menced on two modern cyanide plants.
One of these plants, the Loreto. is now
erected and has been in operation for
TWO weeks. It has n capacity of 300
tons per day, and tailings taken from
said plant gives a value of 40 grains
silver and traces of gold, which shows
that the proper method of treatment is
being applied. The ores which will be
treated in the above mentioned mill
will undoubtedly he extracted from the
company's g mines which are situated IN
the immediate vicinity. The mines
known as the Barron, Provincie, Cor
teza and Solidad arc all IN ore. and
any one of the above-named mines will
produce, when worked, more than suf-
ficient ore to keep the mill running full
time.
"Ths company is now erecting an
aerial line from the Barron mine to the
mill distance of about three miles,
and il is presumed the other mines men
