White Steamer.

George B. Earnshaw, manager of the Cerro Colorado Mining Company, has received monster White Steam CT" automobile, the handsome ma chine having arrived from Cleveland, Ohio, Thursday. It will be used by Mr. Earnshaw on his visits between No gales and tue Cerro Colorado mines in the Altar district, Sonora, where a big reduction plant will be intalled shortly under the supervision of Man ager Earnshaw. The White Steamer is said to be one of the best autos man nufactured by the White Steamer Cars Company, of Cleveland; it weighs 270O pounds and cost $4 900, gold.
 Mir. and Mrs E,rnshaw have rent ed the pleasant Ybarra Place, on Elm street, where they will spend the wint- CT, when not at Cerro Colorado.
 George B. E,rnshaw Is one of the best known, most successful mining g engineers Tn the west, where he has | operated many years. It was largely through his persistent efforts and re = port. that large eastern capital was interested in the great Cerro Prieto 1 gold mines east of Ma agdalena, Sonora, now operated by the Black M fountain Mining Company. of which Frank N. Cox. of Nogales, is general superin- | tendent.
 | The fact that he has recommended, and is at the managing head of the Cerro Colorado Company, IS in itself a guarantee that the company's prop erty has merit and will be placed among the list of dividend paying mines in Mexico. It is understood that Manager Earnshaw is backed by unlimited capital. and that the ma-. chinery for the immense plant has | been ordered for installation at once.

pr. Ray Ferguson Not Insane.

The many friends of Dr. Ray Ferguson, superintendent of the Territorial Insane Asylum, who was recently seriously injured by a crazy inmate who attacked him with an axe, will learn with plea sure that the injured superinten- dent is getting along fine at his old home in Burlington, Kansas. to which place he was taken a cou ole of weeks ago by his wife and number of professional nurses.
 Last Tuesday F. C. Roberts, steward of the asylum, was inter viewed by a Phoenix press repre- sentative, regarding the rumor that Dr. Ferguson had become insane as result of the injuries received.
 Mir. Roberts said:
 'Dr. Ferguson was making good headway towards recovery when he left here several days ago for Kansas, and is now recuperating at the home of his parents in Burlington.
 "Only yesterday I had a letter from Burlington in it said that Dr. Ferguson is making good progress, and that before long he will be able to return to Phoenix and re- sume his duties as superintendent of the asylum.
 "I want to emphatically deny that Dr. Ferguson's mind was in the least affected by the ll)ws he received. The only mental an- noyance caused him was through his regret that one perfectly trust worthy, had become violent and was able to get weapon"

Sonora Copper Gets New Hoist.

H. H. Horton, representative of the Western Gas Engine Co.,, of Los Angeles, was a stopover visitor in Nogales, the forepart of this week en route to the City of Los Angeles, from the property of the Sonora Copper Company, three miles east of Noria, Sonora, where he had been three weeks superin- tending the erection of hoist and engine, purchased recently by Pre- sident Conard when in Los An geles.
 After installing the machinery which, according to Mir. Conard, gives perfect satisfaction, MT. Hor- ton spent considerable time on the property of the company, and was so we'll pleased with the large amount of profitable work done and the development of immense bodies of shipping silver-leadgold ore, that he expressed himself as more than pleased, and stated that as soon as he returned to Los An geles, he would become a stock holder in the big company. MT. Horton stated he had visited many mining properties in different sec tions of the country, but none ap- pealed to him as did the Sonora Copper.
 The hoist installed by MT. Hor ton is said to be one of the greatest fuel saving hoists yet invented, as we'll as one of the most simple. It burns gasoline, distillate or crude oil. and is just the thing for min ing sections where wood and water are scarce.

Piano Business Good.

MT. R. Zellner, Jr., travelling re- presentative of the Zellner Piano Company, of which he is president and principal stockholder, is a visitor in the city, having arrived Wednesday night from Bisbee, Douglas and Benson.
 The Zellner Piano Company, has during the past few years sold more instruments in Southern Ari- zona and northern Sonora, than ali other firms combined. MT. Zellner, who enjoys a large per sonal acquaintance throughout this section, is a postmaster when it comes to talking Zellner pianos.
 During his recent visit to Bisbee, Douglas and Benson, the gentle man did a fine business, having sold many pianos, a number of which were for cash. He is very optimistic and does not believe the country is going to the bow VOWS, just yet, as many calamity howlers would have us believe. Since coming to Nogales MT. Zellner has done good business, as he always does.
 In speaking of the splendid fin ancial condition of our local banks. and the capable, careful, honest manner in which they are con ducted-on a cash basis-when many banks throughout the coun- try, are doing business with clear ing house certificates, Mir. Zellner expressed himself as much pleas ed with conditions as they exist in Nogales, and said great deal of credit was due the local banks, and their officers, who have during the present crisis made good," and helped advertise Nogales over the country, as one of the best towns in the southwest.
 MT. Zellner is a philosopher, scholar and patriotic American gentleman; like President Roose- welt, he does not believe in the motto "In God We Trust" on the American coin.

The Mansfield.

A dispath to the Tucson Citizen, from Mansfield, Arizona, dated November 26th, last, contained the following interesting item:
 Developing copper mines in this section are likely to be but little affected by the present uncertain state of the metal markets, accord ing to the most authoritative local opinion. The position of Arizona as a copper producer is regarded as safely established on a firm basis. Production costs have been so far reducted as to enable successful operators to do business at a profit on a much narrower margin than a few years age, and the steady improvement of transportation facilities and treatment methods seems likely to reduce this cost to a still lower figure.
 "The Mansfield management is showing itself especially energetic. At the Sweet mine the sinking of the shaft to the 55O-foot level is in the hands of contractors, while at the same time the ore is being rais- ed from the 25O-foot level and laid on the dumps. At the Black Cap mine the ore being taken out is of good shipping grade, the quality showing improvement daily. Ere quent shipments are going forward to the Fl Paso smelter."

The NosaIes Sisters Hospital
(COMMUNICATED.)

Amongst the good things and advantages there are in Nogales, the Sisters Hospital is perhaps not as widely known as it should be, in view of it's many benefits and conveniences.
 There Is hardly any serious sickness, or case requiring operative treatment, that cannot be treated here, to greater convenience, and at much less expense to the patient, than to go to California, or more distant points.
 In the Sisters Hospital there is a we'll fitted up modern operating room, with all necessary adjuncts and requirements; there are com fortable bedrooms, we'll prepared food, with dietary as prescribed, !, and the most kindly and ceaseless attention on the part of .he good Sisters-who as they get mighty little reward for their services in thls world, it is to be hoped will get more in the next.
 With regard to skilled medical attention. it can be said there are we'll experienced physicians and surgeons in Nogales, and although, as already observed, the hospital and it's advantages are not yet as widely known as they might be, yet one surgeon alone, of Nogales. assisted by his confreres, has per formed sixteen operations within the hospital, all under anaestesia during the past five months. The operations included the setting of complicated fractures, curettments, excisions, amputations, etc.
 One recent operation was the complete removal of an enormous fibroid uterus, with its deceased appendages. The rapid recovery following evidenced the skillful surgical technique, and the subse.. quent good care in the Sisters Hospital was equal to anything obtainable elsewhere.
