IN THE SONORA COUNTRY.
There has been nothing of import
ance reported from the Sonora min
ing field during the week. At Naco-
zari the construction work on the
new concentrating mill is progressing
well and to the satisfaction of the
company and those who are con-
structing it unde,' contract. This
mill is rated. in capacity at 1900 tons
of ore daily, but those who are ac-
quaintsd with the character Of the
ore to be handled and the many mod
ern an economical features of the
mill confidently predict that 1000 lolis
will be easily handled daily.
Below Nacozari there is little now
being done in the way of mining. The
Ilelen Mining company, operating
| twenty-five miles southwest of Cum
pas. has recently increased its force
and regular shipments of ore are now
arriving at Nacozari from that prop
erty at the rate or two and three cars
per week. This property has become
| somewha0noted during the past year
because of the gact that considerable
bismuth has been encountered in the
| o,e veins exploited. This ore is very
valuable and eight cars of it have
been shipped to Liverpool, England,
which is the best known market for
| it.
| The TransYGal Copper company re-
mains idle. This company has very
complete smelling plant at Cumpas
which was operated for more than a
| year up to the time of the financial
| slump and consequent fall in the
price of copper. Tie smeIter was
shut down early in October and Ia
| ter work was discontinued in the
| mines. Superintendent Beauchamp
| Of the Tran3yaal, went east a month
ago and has not yet returned and
nothing is known about the future n
| tentions OF the company.
| 1t is reported that the FL Globe
| mine, eight miles from Nacozari, is
to be started up in the near future
| This properly has a stamp mill and
| an eliviGtion plant which was sue
cessfully operated for more than &
| year up I'd last fall when the plan
was shut down and since then only q
| very small force has been continued
on development work in the mines.
The Ell Tiger is working a full forct
of about $50 men and parties who
have recently visited this property
| and who have been well acquainted
with it since its discovery and
| though the various stages of It's de
| velopment, are more enthusiastic owe
| its great future than ever before.
Twelve miles from the Ell Tigrs
| James Taylor, who was one of the
original owners of the Tigre, is work
ing on property known as the e
Tamblor. This property was de
! nOunced last year by Mr.. Taylor and
his associates, and since then devel
| opment has revealed some exceeding
| " high grade gold and silver ore
| Two cars of this ore has been taken
! out of a very strong vein and it is
now being packed to Yzabel station
for shipment.
F. s. Douglas and C. B. Bell, OF
| Douglas, have a lease and purchasing
! bond on the Los Angeles mine eight
| miles from NacOZari where Mr. Bel
| is working a force of men. This
! property last year yielded a number
OF cars Of very rich ore. From the
! SHAFT three cars of good Sore was
| taken and shipped to the smelter al
Douglas before a depth of forty feet
! had been reached. At forty foot
! depth a drift has been run, fortyfive
| feet, all in ore. The shaft is now
down 70 feet, but aerious trouble has
| been encountered "a account of the
