MEXICAN PROSPECT
PROPERTIES MAKE GOOD

Phenomenal advances In the price OF
mineral properties are recorded In the
Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico section, due
largely to the enterprise OF American pros
pectors and the inrush of American capI-
tai for development purposes. 1t is stated
that prospects which commanded not over
$1,000 last summer have been sold this sea-
son for 1000 TO $4,000. Many OF the best
properties, however. are not for sale at
any price The experience OF such mines
as the Sultana, near HermosilIo, fur
nlshes the reason. This mine started In TO
work for copper, with very light gold
values on the surface At the aOo-foot
level an immense ore body was encoun-
tered that has been yielding an average
OF 42 ounces OF gold per ton. besides cop
per and silver. A similar property is the
Lluvla de Cobre. In the Same neighbor-
hood This is being actively developed,
and a powerful modern compressor ana
boiler are about to be installed at the
shaft.

COMPANY SOON TO OPEN
ARIZONA COAL MINES

The coal fields of Pinal county are going
to be exploited This was fully decided at
a meeting of the committee of business
men which met Saturday in Phoenix and
drew up articles of incorporation OF the
coal company. The articles specify a capt.
tai stock of S1.0O0000. and work will begin
just as soon as 10000 is gotten together.
The money is going to be raised by pri-
vate subscription and the petition is being
circulated now, showing that each sub
scriber becomes stockholder in the COM
pany.
The coal fields have been thoroughly ex-
amined and II has been ascertained that
there is a splendid prospect for coal. This
has caused the business men to push 1t
along. not so much with view of getting
rich, although they will make money II
coal Is found in paying quantities, but
with view of promoting the genera

other Good Claims


The Lewis lease on the property Of the
Gold Horn company has been in opera
ton for three months. and excellent
progress has been made. 1t has splen-
did equipment, and three full shifts are
pushing the development work as much
as possible. The lease was granted for
two years to L. Trevor Lewis, and he
transferred OF 10 the Goldfeld Explora-
tion, Leasing and Mining company which
was organized in Elmira, n. Y. The
directors OF the new company are well
known men and it is their intention to
acquire several leases in the near future
and to send out exploring parties to vari-
GUS parts Of the state. Several of the
prominent stockholders of the company
have visited the lease on the Gold Horn
and have expressed pleasure at the
character of the work done and the show
ing made. Mr.. Lewis is the president
and general manager of the company
and his holdings are the largest.
The ST. Ives lease continues to take
out shipping ore from the 100-foot level,
the ore running from $40 to 800 a ton.
Another stope has been started on this
level and will be carried up to the As
foot level. It is in the same body of
ore tat the company has been shipping
from some time. The shaft is down 800
feet and will be sunk to 500 feet as soon
completed.
Two shifts are now at work on the
Midnight Pawnee at Black Butte. The
shaft is down 50 feet and will be sunk
to water level. which Webb Parkinson,
who controls the property. expects to
reach at about 900 feet. The property
has been idle for some time, but work
will now be rushed.
The Goldfeld Great Bend mine is in
fine shape now The shaft Is down 800
feet and the crosscut to the south is
Just entering the foot wall of a big ledge.
Beginning the first of the week work on
the 200-foot level, which was suspended
because of sinking operations, will be re-
sumed and a crosscut will be driven to
the south for distance of 800 feet to
tap the ledge at that point.
Loftus-DaVis Leasing Company
The report of the Loftus-Davis Leas-
ing company shows that IL has paid a
25 per cent dividend on its capital.
amounting to $11,250. and has expended
in operations on the Fraction, Great
Bend and other points something more
than 100000, and has cash assets amount
ing to s67.O51.10. The report further
shows that the lease operating on the
Combination Fraction produced 35391O
tons of ore, having a gross value of
$29S O5S.27 practically 100000, and an av-
erage value of $s5.91 a ton. The company
has expended about $4,000 on the Great
Bend proposition and has set aside an
additional $4,000 for that purpose, and
Will push the work of sinking the shaft
to the 600-foot level at once. The officers
elected for the ensuing year are: J. p.
LOTUS, president; ]. r. Davis, vice presi-
dent and general manager, and G. p.
Lotus, secretary. This is a close cor
poration the stock being owned princi-
pally by LOTUS and Davis.
