5, T. Stevens, a well known pros
Pector, who resides in Bisbee, returned
yesterday after an extended triu
through Northern Mexico and the Syl.
vanite district. He travelled quite ex.
tensively over the Sierra Madre dis
trict looking for silver, copper and
lead.
4 found great deal of good galela
and silver property in that district
and located several claims during my
absence. There are a number con.
tinued Mr.. Stevens, who are travers-
ing that country and taking up all the
silyer-lead property they can find.
Il passed over Grant county, in the
Eureka district, New Mexico. quite
thoroughly and saw considerable fine
property. In the Pot Hook mountains
| found several properties which are
located not far from Hachita. | To-
Gated one claim of Silver-lead ore and
one of COPPER. l also located a claim
of silver and gold. feel that this dis
Crict is one that will be heard of much
more than in the past"
He stated that he saw no Yaquis on
his travels in Mexico, but did see a
number of renegade Apaches. There
is no danger from this source any
longer as far as one can learn.
He states that there are a number
of hydrophobia coyotes in the PIyas
and Animas valley which have done
a considerable damage. They have
bitten a number of cattle, and one man
was bitten in his tent He left for
Austin, Texas, to take treatment.
Mr.. Stevens says that there is a
great opportunity for farming in that
section and that the subterranean
steams are found everywhere. He be-
lieves that there will be much farm
ing in northern Mexico, and there will
be fine opportunity for those inter
ested in this line of work.
