Tray darted into the middle of the

showed no disposition to move. Bart,
angered at this blocking up the door

fell full length. The next moment

aiming the properties of the company
In the state OF Sonora, Mexico. He
reports that the 2s-foot vein OF rich

even richer than first supposed. It's
ore values easily will average $50 70
the ton.
Our new smelter, now being COM
pleted at Fundicion," said Mr., Douglas
will be able to smelt 300 tons OF ore
per day, and figuring copper at 20
cents q pound, $40 ore. with liberal
deductions. ought to leave MS profit
of SIS net. or $5.4Oo In United States
money daily on 800 tons smelted. Fig
urlng 25 days to the working month,
the results would be S270O0O in two

smelter In October, we ought to have
this revenue before the end OF the
year. The figures look large but they
are correct"
