 track of what is going on and con tains nothing to which mining men can object. On the other hand those who have been informed of the change in regulations consider the latter to their advantage.
 The widely famed Fl Tigre litiga- ton for possession of that mine by oD- posing interests was concluded in the Supreme court of Mexico the first of last week when decision was ren- dered in favor of the Kansas City company from which possession of the mine was taken a couple of years ago by the original owners under the Graham leadership on the ground that agreements had not been lived up to. The Supreme court sustains d the decision of the Sonora state su- preme court rendered last summer and which was a reversal of a decis. ion of the Cananea district court in favor of the Graham int gre ;tS. The latter have the privilege O one more appeal for a rehearing, which it is understood will be taken. In tnis event the case will aPain go the rounds of the court and going from there on appeal back to the City of Mexico. The last hearing required about six months in getting through these courts. In the event Ot another appeal and retrial. proceedings will probably be even more rapid and the litigation finally determined possibly before the end of the year As mat ters now stand, the Kansas City in terests are in possession of th4 mine, which they have been operating under bond since the beginning Of the last hearing of the case. Their posses sion will now continue uninterrupted until decision is rendereI in the Cananea court, if appeal is rallcn. If the Cananea court decision is against them they will be obliged to either surrender possession or ar range new bond for the conduct of the property until the later court deciS- ions are rendered.
 George and Robert Mitchell left last Monday for New York, following inspection of the South Cauanal and decision upon plans for tutI"e Icvcl- opment.

 The Francis brothers, of Lndon, England, left last Tuesday for home after spending three weeks :n the dis tTict in making examination of South Canauea holdings for English intC.- ests with which they are associated both financially and as mining cX- perts. They were accompanied as far as Bisbee by Superintendent Mc- Henry of the South Cananea, stop being made at Bisbee to visit the mines there. The inspection made Of South Cananea by the experts was very thorough and upon their depart ure they did not hesitate b say that they considered the property UEe Cf much excellence which in their ODin- ion would make for heavy produC.Ion of copper ores with furthe- develop ment though considerable depth might have to be gone to.
