NEWS OF THE TERRITORY.

the mining operations throughout
the Hermosillo section, and general
feeling of satisfaction is evidenced
among the operators. Among the
most promising of the newer copper
properties is the Lluvia de Cobre,
where six-foot face of rich chalco-
pyrite ore has recently been opened
up at the 33O-foot level. The ore is
being placed in the bins, and a ship
ment will be made in few days.
The Josephine shaft is rapidly near
ing the water level, being down over
400 feet, and a permanent ,sulphide
bed will doubtless be encountered at
an early date.-Review.
Col. Jerry Millay, Superintendent
of the territorial prison at Yuma,
has rendered his resignation to Gov
ernor Kibbey. Col. Millay's resigna-
tion becomes effective March /. Mil
lay has held the office a year and
eight months, and his resignation is
due entirely to the state of his
health. Millay lost his health in
Yuma last year and was compelled to
remain away from Yuma great
deal of last summer. Realizing that
he cannot stand the summer weather
there, Millay decided some time ago
ito resign, and will take up his resi-
dence on the Pacific coast. He has
already bought himselfgsa home in
california.
Pedro Gazones shipped car load
;of milch cows to Cananea where they
swilr be sold at an advanced price of
$50 per head which is the average
iprice paid for for the stock picked
tup in thispart of the valley. While
lit is the intention of Gazones to sell
"a good portion of the carload at re-
itail yet he will keep few of the
more thrifty mixers. Milk sells in
iCananea at forty cents per gallon

,take her good many years to eat

slightest priced breakfast foods on the
market. 1T is estimated that the
freight on car lo3d of COWS will
samount to SIS or $50 which will give
the buyer a good wide margin to go
on when he gets ready to sell. The
COWS purchased haye not been top
notchers in every instance, but in
most cases fairly good stock has been
disposed of.-Republican
The recent practical test which
was made on the rock at the Calumet
& Hecla's Nonesuch property resulted
in a success and another feather in
the cap of Superintendent McNaugh-
ton and the Michigan staff of the
big company. The small experiment
tai plant that was erected at the
property treated about 100 tons of
rock daily, and no trouble was en-
countered in separating the copper
from the rock. A careful examina-
tion was made of the tailings and it
was found that the amount of waste
was normal. The method employed
was practically the same as that en-
ployed in separating the copper from
the normal rock at the mill. The
mineral obtained was shipped to the
smelter for treatment and yielded
about what the analysis had demon
strated previously.
Doing the work under the order of
the Agent of Fomento' of the Arizpe
mining district, Engineer B. NJ. Nor
ton, of the mining firm of Tomlinson
and Norton of Bisbee, has completed
the resurvey of the Bell property in
the Tortillo district. This property,
it will be remembered, was bonded to
months ago. Transfer of titles were
held up on account of the survey and
fually this resurvey was ordered by
the mining Office having jurisdiction.
1t was found that the original survey
was not in accordance with the field
notes furnished Mr.. Norton by the
mining office. Judge Richardson,
who has some important interests in
the Tortillo district, stated that if
the survey is the correct one then all

will have to be resurveyed. This
would entail a heavy additional ex-
pense on property owners there.
Judge Richardson and Mr.. Hanks, of
the First National Bank of Bisbee,
are interested in a property in that
section and it is. likely that they will
take steps at once to have it resur-
veyed, though that matter has not
been definitely determined. 1t is ex-
pected now that the resurvey of the
Bell property has been completed it
will not be long until the Shattuck
people will begin development work
on it under the terms of their bond
and lease.-Rev view.
News received from "a reliable gen.
tleman, who had just arrived from
Nacozari, is to the effect that a party
of Phelps Dodge engineers left Naco-

present terminus. This company has
made preliminary survey of their
