CCananea Rerald3

(Cananea Eerald,)
 Although it is popularIy supposed that there is little doing in the way of mining transfers in Cananea at present, Saturday a large and very en- couraging sale involving the payment of s25,000 gold, is reported to have been put through. George w. Sanders. well known promoter, manipulated the deal which caused the Calumet and Sonora company to purchase G4 per tenencias of mineral land, known as "La PiamOnte" group, from Frisco Ar naldo for the sum mentioned.
 The most encouraging portion of the sale is the confidence in the camp. its naturalization, and future ex- pressed by the purchasers in the transaction, as not a foot of develop ment work had been done on the group and it was on the merits of the surrounding properties that it was bought. The property is situated about three-quarteTs of a mile from the smelter in a northerly direction and lies in a portion of the camp generally accepted as being heavily mineralized. It is understood that the purchasers will shortly begin de- velopment work on their new acqui- sition
 The largest strike of gold, and in fact the only one of consequence which has been made within a radius of 100 miles was shown to have been made at the Hole mine, the property of D. T. Green and J. A Wilson of this city, situated miles southeast of the Ojo de Agua by an assay showing their ore to run 7.2 ounces silver, +S, the ton. The assay is merely an average one, Mir. Green states.
 The Hole property is one that has a history hard to realize in view of the discovery of the rich values the ore carries but on account of dis pute over the running expenses of the property it was practically aban- doned five years ago, after being work ed for less than year, and was taken only recently by Wilson and Green.
 Two shafts, one of 40 feet and the other down 90 feet, are on the prop erty. It was in the shallower one that the gold bearing quartz was dis covered. There has been considerable drifting and crosscutting.
 The gold bearing quartz is in a vein about three feet wide, it is stat ed, traversing and splitting the vein of galena which was considered the notable feature of this mine. So poor looking is the rock that hitherto it has been practically thrown away in order to get out the galena and other mineraliZed rock which was in start ling evidence.
 It occurred to Green a few days ago that he had never had this rock assay, and in taking it to the office, as an after thought, he requested that it be run for gold, as well as silver and lead. He expected to find only a small trace, if any of the precious yellow metal, and his surprise and joy can well be imagined when the re- suit of the assay was announced and he found himself possessor of a fab uIousIy rich proposition.
 Just what steps toward development they will take in the future has not been announced as yet, but it is prob able that the owners will set about the development of the property on a large scale in the immediate future.
 c. C. Eastman, for some time con nected with Golindrena Mining com pany, this week disposed of all of his interests in that company to J. H. Bishop. president of the concern, for a good figure. Included in the sale were several mining claims, a list being comprised of the Red Ant, P. E. M. K, Eastman, Ravens and Courts. These claims are scattered in various direc- fions in this vicinity, the P. E. M. x. being located near the Capote of the Greene Cananea company. and the others are In the ManZanal noun tains. MT. Eastman will not leave this section, but will devote his time and energies to the development of the San Francisco and Fortuna properties, which he states, present good show ings in lead and silver. The amount Of stock in the Golindrina company which was disposed of by Mir. East man was more than Il 900 shares. The Golindrina is looked upon as a good proposition, it is stated, as it borders the famous Las Chispas mine on three sides.
 A. s. Dwight, formerly general man ager for the Four c company, accom- panied by J. H. Deyereux, well known mining expert of Colorado, passed a short time last week in this city, ex- amfning various properties In the dis trict Mir. Dwight being familiar with the section and it's naturalization was duly enthusiastic in predicting great future for it. Mir. Devereux was also more than eafhusastic over the dis trict and it's future prospects of growth and achievement. Daring their stay fin Sonora they visited the Noche Bueno group located in the Manzanal mountains in which they are interest ed. Ii is understood that they have ordered new machinery and are pre- pairing to put on force of increased size to exploit the property. A deal is understood to be on between them and the local people owning properties south of the city. No definite details can be ascertained at present, how ever.
 General Manager Wadleigh of the Southwestern Mining company who returned this week from the east after a stay of several months bought with him the good news that the develop ment of the property would soon, in all probability, be started on large scale During his stay he visited va
