Financial Notes.

Information hae just been re- ceived at the office of the Douglas Copper Company in New York City, that the matte which is now being shipped from it's smelter at Fundicion, Sonora. Mexico, assays 46 per cent copper, ,! ounces gold and 300 ounces silver to the ton, making valuation at present prices $41225 per ton.
 The Mexican Exploration and Mining Company have exercised the option which it has had for some time upon the Zapal Gold Mine in Mexico, which has turned out to be exceedingly valuable. The mine is one that has been worked for several years by it's former owners. who are MeXicans, and who have never developed 1t to it's full capacity. During the past three months the Mexican Exploration and Mining Co. has kept one of it's engineers at the mine making examinations and assays; also supervising the sale and shipment of ores at the rate of about .OOO tons per month.
 This company is controlled by the same interests who own the Douglas Copper Company, Melbert B. Carry, being the chairman of the Board of Directors of both companies. Robert B. Armstrong, formerly Assistant Secretary of the United States Treasury, Epes Ran dolph, President of the Cananea TaQui River x Pacific Railroad Go. and George M. Ryall, president of the Yaqui Development Co, are also directors in both panies.

LA MEJIA MINE.
u. J. Karns Purchases Big Interest in
 NH. Lease. Etc.

Last Wednesday Harry J. Karns, of Karns, Rowland & McCray, owners of the Merralls stamp mills, etc., just installed at "La Mejia," twenty-five miles southwest of Mo- gales, concluded a deal in Nogales, Sonora, with his former partner, J. H. McCray, of Los Angeles, Cal ifornia, whereby Mir. Karns took over all of that gentleman's i'm terest-421-2 per cent-which now makes MT. Karns owner of S5 per cent in the newly erected plant and lease on the old "La Mejia" silver producer, which is owned by Don Iguacio Pesqueira, of this city.
 The price paid for Mir. McCray's interest was not learned but is said to have been good round sum, with the conditions most satisfact- ory to both parties.
 Now that the Los Angeles con tractor has disposed of his interest, the firm name of Karns, Rowland < McCray no longer exists and in future the name of the company will be H. J. Karns x Co, La Me jia Mining & Milling, with H. J. Karns as general manager.
 Everybody who knows Harry Karns and his honorable, upright methods of doing business, is con fideat he will succeed.
 Just six months from the day the first pick was stuck for grad ing the big mill site at La Mejia the mill started up last Monday and has since been running in a very satisJactory manner, and 1t is only a matter of a short time when MT. Karns and his associates will begin to realize good returns on their investment.
 The mill has a capacity of seven ty tons per day, producing con- centrate of 800 ounces silver and per cent copper. In connection with the concentrators will be used five Pierce amalgamators for the amalgamation of the native silver which exists in the big ore dumps and mine.
 It is said that La Mejia has many peculiarities not found in any other mine in the southwest there being absolutely no mineral other than silver and copper.
 The success of the new plant means much to this city, the nat ural supply point for La Mejia and friends of Mr. Karns in No gales and throughout the country, will join us in wishing him good luck. Harry has worked like a beaver. almost day and night, some times under trying, most. unfavor- able circumstances, during the past six months. May Dame Fortune never cease to smile upon him with broad smile, and all his hopes be fully realized.
