TO THE PUBLIC.

1t seems to me that our flag
pole is used for most anything
that our people think best. Our
officers seem to take no action
but allow this flag pole to be used
for anything from whiskey bot
tie to streamers or anything that
may be put on it. We have a
sheriff a marshall and county
attorney and probate Judge
and none of them take any ac-
ton, and think it all right. 1
think something ought to be
done. If we have no more use
for the flag pole the sooner that
it is cut down the better. I be-
lieve it would be for the best in
terest of the public.

G. C. EASTMAN TALKS
OF CANANEA CONDITIONS
Says Things Are Not So Dull
In Sonora Camp.

G. c. Eastman, a prominent mining
man who has been operating in the
Cananea district during recent years,
arrived in Douglas yesterday accom-
panied by Mrs. Eastman, who is now
at the Calumet hospital for surgical
treatment.
In speaking of the mining industry
in the Cananea district last night Mr..
Eastman stated that there is consid-
cradle activity there. According to
his estimation there are more than
1900 men on the payrolls of the var
ious companies in that section.
The AriZpe-MocteZuma mining COM
pany, developing a group OF mines
fifteen miles southeast of Cananea,
is meeting with encouraging results.
This company is now working a force
of seventy men and 800 ore is be-
ing taken from an eight-foot ledge.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Eastman
that the time will soon come now
when the big Sonora copper district
will be attracting more attention
than ever. He is thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the mines of the district and
says that there are many other prop
critics, other than those owned by the
Greene-Cananea, which will make
good with development. Mr.. Eastman
has handled several mining PROPOSE
tons during the past two years.
Regarding the time when the
Greene-Cananea would resume Mr.,
Eastman could not say definitely, but
he stated that the remodeled plant of
the company is now about ready to

FIFTY FEET OF ORE
At SANTA ROSA MINE
Shaft Is At $50 Foot Level and
Is About Eighteen Miles
From Douglas,

Fifty feet of ore and leached mat
ter has been cut in a drift which has
been run to the northeast at the 235-
foot level of Shaft No. in the Santa
Rosa mine. located eighteen miles
south of Douglas. This was the an
uouncement made by T. II. Collins,
general manager Of the Cabullona
Development company, holding a
bond on the Santa Rosa mine. No. 3
shaft has now reached a depth of
300 feet and small pockets of ore
were encountered in a leached iron
formation, which was cut by the
shaft above the present drift.
No. l shaft has not been sunk be-
low the 350-foot level, which was
reached some time ago, but two
drifts are being run in this shaft,
the one at the 335-foot level being
pushed northeast in the direction of
shaft No. 3. At the 235-foot level of
the original shaft two drifts are be
ing run in opposite directions. Shafts

The Cabullona Development COM
pany secured this property more than
a year ago and since then has been
working steadily Hosting and 9TH

stalled last year and a great amount
of work has been done. The present
force consists of seventy men.
The Santa Rosa property, it is be-
lieved, by those who have made close
examination of it from time TO time,
to be one of great promise. The de-
velopment of producing mine there
would result in greatly increasing the
trade OF this city. During the past
year Douglas has enjoyed a good
business as a result of the develop
ment of this property. 70.

RUSHING CONSTRUCTION
OF THE S. P. BRAN CHI
Large Force at Work On the
Mexican Extension,

Frank J. Pearson has returned
from an extended trip through lower
Sonora and Sinaloa over the Mexican
extension of the S. P. road. He made
his headquarters at Culiacan during
the greater part of the time, which
point is about 100 kilometers beyond
the present front
Mr.. Pearson says that there is now
a large force of men and $500 mules
working on this branch Of the road,
San Bias the last of last year and
ers beyond to a point midway be-
tween San Bias and Culiacan. On
the extension OF this branch all ener-
gies are being directed with the puT-
pose of entering Culiacan in jury.
The work is mostly dirt work with
little or no tunnelling or cutting
through rock, and rapid Roadway can
and must be made before the coming
of the summer rains, which are heay-
Ter in Sinaloa than further north.
On the Yaqui river branch, which
is extending up that river to the
north of Cumaraipa, there are now
only four camps, all rock camps, and
it appears that the work on that line
is to be pushed more fom NacOzari
south down the Bavispe than from
Cumaraipa north.
Mr.. Pearson was looking for agri'
cultural lands there and was high IN
his praise of the character of the soil
and climatic conditions about the
Fuerte river and still more so about
the lands to the south of there. He
heard that the Sinaloa Land company
IS tied up in litigation and is selling
no lands in it's large holdings, and
that Richardson brothers are also in
legal entanglements.

VIRTUE COMPANY
WILL RESUME
OPERATIONS
Property at Paradise Regard
ed As Good Proposition
Company Incorporated for
81, 900, 900 in 1906.

The Virtue Mining & DEVELOPMENT
company Will resume operations AT
Portal. Four men, only, will be EN-
ployed, in two shifts, at the outset.
But within few days thereafter an
other miner will be added, making
five, which number is to represent
the regular force. Should the show
ings expected be encountered in the
tunnel, they believe it would be a
very easy matter to raise whatever
sun of money would be required for
proper development of the property.
By reason az its groupings, indica-
tons and ore disclosures in open
cuts, tunnels. etc, the Virtue is gen
orally regarded as one of the foi cnIus,
properties in the district. In numer-
Gus places ore can be seen on the sur
face, and from an open cut ON the
ledge near the portal of the tunnel,
several hedges running parallel to
each other in an eastwesterlyS direc-
ton; and also a north-south ledge
that cuts across there On account
of the great extent of these leoses,
which may be traced the entire length
of the property-seyeral thousand
feet-and at intervals widthwise for
upwards of 500 feet. the directors are
of the opinion that an usually large
body of GRE. presumably of high
grade. underlies the surface and will
not be hard to locate.
The tunnel was started for the pur-
pose of prosecuting this series of east
west Lodges at good depth. II is now
in upwards of 200 feet, but has not
yet, it is believed. encountered the
first ledge, though it can not now be
very far away. At about 40 feet MON
the portal Of the tunnel, a full face of
low grade ore appeared, unexpectedly,
but in three or four feet was passed
through. When the, ledge is struck,
high grade ore is expected. At 200
feet in, the estimated depth was
around 40 feet.
The company was incorporated IN
August. 1906, for 100000, shares 81
par. The treasury sto>k was first
sold at 10 cents per share; but at a
special meeting of the directors held
recently, the selling price was
advanced to % cents. The officers
and directors are e. F. Epley, W. T.
Epiey, Hugh Rowe and Geo. A. Walk
