SHIPPING GOOD ORE FROM
CREST0N De COBRE MINE
Property of Los Angeles Company in
Mexico Has Not Been
Sold

Some confusion has resulted from the
publication of the statement that GER
tain properties of the Mexican Mining
and Exploration company had been
sold. This has no reference to the
mines in Sonora, Mexico owned by
the Mexico Mining, Refining and Ex-
pIoration company, a Los Angeles cor
poration, of which William 7. Calder
wood of this city is president and gen.
eral manager. The companies are un-
related, although their names are
somewhat similar
Mr. Calderwood states that the Cres-
ton de Cobre mine, which is In the
Hermosillo district, is now shipping
ore regularly from the crosscuts above
the water level. The last shipment of
four tons gave net returns after pay
ing all transportation and reduction
charges, taxes, etc, of $l25 gold, or
$51 a ton. AS soon as the extra pump
ing power can be installed ana set in
operation to control the water in all
the mine shafts work will be pushed
with additional shifts of minors and
the output of the mine will II greatly
increased
MIR. Calderwood goes to Mexico about
the first of the year to superlntend
the equipment and development of the
mine and is very confident that the
coming year will see the property
brought to a dividend paying stage.
Since the executive management Of
the property was taken in charge by
President Calderwood not a day has
seen the miners idle or the mine aban-
doned. Work has gone forward unin-
terruptedly, and with from one to three
shifts of MeXicans constantly en-
ployed

SEVERE GALE PREVENTS
VESSEL FROM ENGAGING
IN SEARCH FOR BODIES

ERIE, Pa, Dec. 13.-Five OF the nine
bodies picked up by the Commodore
Perry yesterday the first Of the
corpses found OF the thirty-eight men
who lost their lives when the car ferry
Bessemer-M Marquette No. foundered
on the angry pillows Of Lake Erie,
were sent TO their homes tonight.
The Commodore Perry which brought
in the bodies Sunday afternoon, lay in
her slip all afternoon with steam up,
but such a gale blew over the entire
lake region that to venture on the
waters of the lake would have been
suicidal. The wind subsided tonight.
According to a story related here,
Sarah Clancy a sister Of one Of the
missing men, saw the car ferry sink
when dreaming Tuesday night, and
since that time she has insisted her
brother is dead and all with him lost.
A report received this afternoon says
that another yawl boat had been
sighted near Westheld, N. Y. This
rumor proved false.
The wind would have washed all
bodies and wreckage toward the Cana
dian Shore and lake men expect the
next discovery will be made on the
other side of the lake.

EXCHANGE DECIDES TO
MAKE TWO LISTS OF
OIL STOCKS ON BOARD
Distinct Heads as Pro-
ducers and Non-Pro-
ducers

At directors meeting Of the Los An
geIes Stock exchange yesterday after
noon IL was decided to divide the oil
list and make instead two distinct lists
of the stocks on the board, one for pro-
ducors and the other for non-producers.
This action was taken with view TO
benenting both the brokers and their
clients, by simplifying matters, making
it easier to trade and with more Sc
curity.
Under the old arrangement only one
familiar with the oil business knew
which companies were producing and
which ones were not.
BY the new arrangement this difficulty
will be eliminated.
The order OF the directors win be put
into effect the middle of this week and
in tho future when n new stock is listed
its status will be at once established
with the trade by the place IL holds on
the board.
