ESTRELLa MINING & SMELTiNG co.

The Estrella Mining & Smelling Company, q corporation organized at NogaIes nearly two years ago, owning valuable gold property at Los Janos, a point on the road to Las Chispas and about thirty.fve miles eastward from Querobabi sta ton on the line of the Sonora rail- way, the affairs of which company have become complicated, are en- gagged in straightening out their matters with a view to resumption of operations in the immediate future. In May the stockholders held a meeting at Nogales and effected reorganization, electing a new board of directors and new officers. A meeting of the Mexican corporation has been called and arrangements are in hand for strengthening out the titles, with the acquisition ofadditional ground. All that will be accomplished with in few weeks, and everything will be ready then to begin operations. Arrangements have been made in Kansas City for financing the en- terprise, and there is every pros pect for starting it off on solid, substantial basis. The Estrela Company owns very valuable prop critics, wherein considerable work done already has exposed goodly showing of gold ores that will be worked proiitably, and there are in the lodges some ore that will pay to ship.

PATAGONIA, June 24.-The Red Hil tunnel at the Four Metals mine, in the Mowry district, is now in ledge matter, but not the main ledge of the property. The le1ge was cut three weeks ago. The tun- pel cut through about fourteen feet of concentrating copper ore, carry ing values in gold, silver and lead. When the writer visited the prop erty Monday, they were still in ledge matter, twenty five feet from where they cut into the foot wall, but had not yet encountered the hanging wall. The rock they were then working in was streaked with ore. The strike was something of a surprise to the management, as no ledge was looked for at that place, the tunnel being in only about 440 feet when the wall was cut. The main ledge at the Four Metals is a large one and will be cut by the tunnel probably 150 to 175 feet further in and at much greater depth, as it will cut under the big outcropping on the hill top. No drifting has been done on the ledge in which they are now work ing and for the present none will be done. The tunnel will be pushed along till the main ledge is cut, when drifting will be done on both lodges. As soon as the ledge was cut into a liberal flow of water was encountered and the workmen had a job of timbering on hand right away, as thirty or forty tons of ore and waste ran down the foot wall and into the tunnel. As soon as the run was stopped the tun- neling was continued. Manager Johnson has notified the directors Ol the company of the strike and has asked for an appropriation of $50000 for the installation of q concentrating plant. With the money he plans to place 100-ton plant near the tunnel.
 A most promising looking copper prospect is the Red Rock, in the harshaw district, about seven miles from Patagonia. It consists of a group of six claims, owned by George Weiland and Theodore GebIer of Nogales. The prospect work consists of tEnnelling into a hlll, across which outcrops in many places a large ledge. highly copper stained. A tunnel driven one hun dred feet in the hillside showed values in copper, gold, silver and lead The ledge dips east about nity degrees and is walled with ,olrdSeye porphyry. Well down the nlll a crosscut tunnel is how being drlyen to cut the ledge. The tun. mel site is at q place where the hill IS so steep that a depth of bout 4OO feet will be had when the ledge IS cut under the hilltop, with q tHnneIling distance of little more than 400 feet. The tunnel is now

AGRICULTURAL LANDS.
Many Fine Farms Under Cultivation, And Public Lands to be Secured in The County of Santa Cruz.

From time to time there has been mentioned in THE OASIS the fact that Santa Cruz has already considerable agricultural develop ment, and that with government assistance in the way of conserva- ton of the food waters in the Santa Cruz river, Sonoita Creek and other streams, which will be done eventually, there will be re- claimed and cultivated many thousand acres of land that will support a population which will swell materially the number of peOplein the county, and add greatly to the aggregate of the tax roll. And even without awaiting the slow motion of the government in taking up the development of water there are offered many openings for energy and enterprise, allied with a little capital, to take up lands in the public domain, and improve and cultivate them with the waters that are available now or can be developed by pumping. Quite a number of successful ranch CTS in various parts of the county are raising good crops that yield handsome profits, by irrigation from wells, the water raised to the surface by pumping. Almost with in sight of Nogales are several such enterprises, and they are scattered all along the Santa Cruz river from the International line at Buena Vista, to the Pima county line, northward from Tubac, a distance of about twenty-five miles.
 To appreciate and understand what is being done in the agricul- tural way in the county one should travel about the various localities and observe what is going on; and with that done survey of the vacant lands in the immediate vicinity of each thriving locality forces conclusion that Is irresist- ible that there are yet presented splendid opportunities to those who have energy and a small amount of capital with which to work

 fine piece of land upon which Mir. w. J. Colburn has a homestead filing and has done considerable improvement. Across the railway track from the Monte Karlo Mir. Jas. Breen IT,, has a good location. Next beyond the Monte Karlo is the Mariposa ranche, owned and operated by MT. H. w. Kelsey of Nogales. Mr. Kelsey owns 160 acres, of which about 100 are in cultivation. He has a fine we'll and a splendid pumping engine. From this band MT. Kelsey gets usually two crops per year, taking off first goodly yield of wheat or barley hay, and then planting corn and beans. In 1907 he cut and baled 300 tons of hay, all of which was sold at prices ranging from $14 per ton upward. With the hay out of the way the enterprising owner plowed the ground a second time and planted it with beans and corn, realizing from both bumper crops that brought gilt edged prices. Passing on down the road toward Gala basas, the first place beyond the Mariposa is homestead filing held by Rita Carranza, a widow, who has made recently her final proof. Next beyond Mrs. Car ranza's place the traveller passes two fine ranches, the first owned by Judge w. A. O'Connor. the next by MT. $. F. Noon, both of Nogales. Each has a fine pumping plant, and both have been very successful in taking off good crops of wheat and barley hay. In the same vic- inity are number of smaller loca- tions made by Mexicans, all show ing more or less improvement and considerable cultivation. In this vicinity are many small homestead locations made by Mexicans. It is in this vicinity that IS located the famous Potrero ranche, a place noted in the early history of American occupation of the re- zion as the home of Pete Kitchen, one of the border characters. It is large area of the finest land to be seen anywhere, and produces heavy crops. The bed rock of the arroyo comes so close to the surface that water is available for irrigation, and Mir. Bayze, the owner has all he needs without having to resort to pumping. Below the Potrero' are number of small holdings, owned by Mexicans, and then after passing over couple of miles of open country the place of Mir. G. R. McCorkle is reached. MT. Me- Corkle's land is at the junction of the Nogales arroyo with the Santa Cruz river, and he gets water from the latter named stream. Not far from Mir. McCorkle on the north is the ranche of Mir. Edwin Egan, who has fine, large body of arahle land, and one of the oldest water rights on the river. The soil is very fertile and Mr. Egan raises large crops of wheat and barley hay, finding in Nogales ready market.
 Adjacent to Mir. Egan on the north and west, and on the other side of the Santa Cruz river is the property of Mir. George W. Atkin- son, including 160 acres of land, a large part of which is under culti- vation, yielding large crops of fine hay and with soil capable of pro- ducing all kinds of fruit and
