AS progress was made the foot
hills of the Sierra Madre, with the
higher ranges beyond trend more
closely toward the coast, and are
visible from the car windows,
which is not the case at Culiacan
and for a long distance up the road.
A range of low hills, some four
miles eastward from the line of the
railway, Mr.. Flores impaired the

In the main mountain range,
their lofty SUBMITS visible beyond
the San Lorenzo is the Chacola re-
gion, where are the Chacola, Limon,
Cajon Rodeo, Tamasula and other
producing mines; and southwark
farther is La Arrastra region,
where are the Nina Grande, La
Prieta and other paying properties.
In line with the San Lorenzo
district, but farther south is the
Cosala district, very rich mining
region with a great record of pro-
duction, where La Dura, Las b.

able properties some yielding ores
carrying gold and silver, others sill

lead and silver. The Nina La
Dura has been taken over recently
by an English company which is
arranging to conduct operations
upon an extensive scale.
All the regions named will be
reached from Kilau and Osa sta
tions on the San Lorenzo river.
The Cosala region is about forty
five miles from the latter station
named, and the other districts
mentioned at varying distances.
The two stations are about three
kilometers apart upon opposite
sides of the river. Thirty-fve miles
beyond Cosala is the Tamaniel
mine where an English company
is erecting great reduction plant
that will cost a half million dol
lars.
At noon the train stopped for
dinner at the bridge camp at the
San Lorenzo river, where a great
steel structure to span the river is
in course of erection. At present
} the track crosses the river bed on a
'shoohy" that is three kilometers
long, with low pile bridge across
the stream, the water in which is
at very low stage now and will
remain so until the rainy season
begins in July, when it becomes
