 Upon November 9th the steamer Benito Juarez started upon the first voyage in the new line estab- lished by the same company be- tween Guaymas and San Diego, California, stopping both ways at Mazatlan, San Jose del Cabo, Magdalena Bay, Santo Domingo, San Quintin, and Enseiada, mak- ing the round trip in seventeen days, and remaining five days at San Diego, and two days at Mazat- Ian, transfer of freight and passen- gers being made at the latter named port for northern and southern ports touched by other lines of the same company.
 MT. George w. Beermaker, a gentleman well and widely known along the West Coast of Mexico and the Pacific Coast of the United States, is agent for the company at San Diego.
 The officers of the company are: Luis A. Martinez of Guaymas pre- sident; Jacinto Lasa. general man. ager; c. c. Ross, general freight and passenger agent with head quarters at Guaymas, where the general offices were established last month, instead of at Mazatlan, where they had been located a number of years. MT. Alfred Pfen- fer is commercial agent for the company residing at Mazatlan.
 This same company has con- tracted two other steamers, the "llse" and the Transit" to run in the coffee trade between the ports of Guatamala and San Salvador and Salina Cruz, expecting to de- liver during the coming season at the latter port, destined to France and Germany, not less than 500,000 sacks of coffee. Nov ember 2Sth the Transit arrived at Guaymas from Boat Harbor and will depart for Guatamala as soon as sine has discharged her cargo of 2,000 tons of coal. The Ilse is en route now to Acapulco with a cargo of coal for the company which will be discharged at that port, when that vessel will proceed to Guata- mala to enter into the trade for which she is intended.
 The steamers of this company on the Guaymas and Salina Cruz line leave terminal ports every ten days, and very shortly the inter- vals between sailing days will be reduced to one week.

 The Gro Grande Mines Con- pany has been organized to take over group of mines, developed and undeveloped, in La Luz, Gua- najuato. These mines carry high values in gold and silver, having a length 14 miles along the strike of the La Luz-Blateros vein sys- tems. The veins vary in width from three to thirty feet. The company is capitalized at $9,250,- GOO.
 The report of the Naica Mining Company, Chihuahua, near the eastern boundary of Sonora, which has just been received, shows that for the six months ending June 30 last, the company paid dividend of 57.80%o. Since organization $5, ,449,56S has been received for ore sold, and $2,650,800 has been paid to the shareholders. The directors are now considering the advisability of erecting a smelter for the company.
 Ben Bourne and William Den- ton, mining men working east of Sonora, have located claim on an immense gold vein, about fifteen miles from Los Otates. The vein is 75 it. wide or more, and cuts through the country distance of fifteen miles. A sample across 75 it. of the vein assayed $4.80 per ton in gold, and across 2 it. in a shallow shaft it sampled $10.30 per ton in gold.
 The construction of the Yaqul River and Pacific railroad is being hastened as much as possible by the Southern Pacific interests con- trolling the enterprise. The work has now been completed up to the Barranca Mine. It is said that SC soon as the line is completed it will be made part of the Pan-American route, which has recently been ac. quired by the Hartman interests at a cost of $10,000,000.
 The mining industry of Mexico is deriving more benefit from for. eign capital than any other in the Republic. This is due to the un. paralleled opportunities offered by Mexico for companies with suffi' cient capital and managed by cap, able men. Mexican mining is cer. tain of great expansion in the next few years.
 It is said that the numerous groups of rich mining propertie; held by the Bank of Sonora are about to be taken over by an Eng fish company. These mines were originally acquired by Mir. Max Muller, the vice-president and gen eral manager of the Sonora Bank and include some of the best min ing investments of the State. The company securing them should make large profits.

Death of Major Fred Herrera.

VI WGJOI EIS0 ncITSIds
 Thursday morning all the people of Nogales were shocked and pained at the intelligence of the sudden and unexpected death of Major Fred Herrera, which occurred at Los Angeles Wednesday evening. It was known that he had been i'll in Los Angeles, where he had gone on business some three weeks ago, but he was reported we'll on the way to complete recovery, and his return home was expected at any time, when the intelligence of his death was transmitted by tele. graph. A sudden change in his condition had ensued and the fatal relapse was so swift and sudden that dissolution followed before knowledge of his dangerous condi- tion could be transmitted to his family.
 Major Herrera had been a resi- dent of Nogales about seventeen years, having come here in 1892 from Tombstone, where he resided a number of years. He was very prominent in both Cochise county and what is now Santa Cruz coun- ty. He was the first treasurer of Santa Cruz county, having been appointed to that post by Governor Murphy at the time the county was organized. He went upon the Mo- gales town board in 1895, and served a term as mayor. In the second administration of Governor Murphy he was commissioned as an aid on the governors staff with the rank of major.
 While residing in Cochise county Mir. Herrera was engaged in rhe cattle business, which interest he sold shortly after coming to the line city. Here he was identified long with the International Bank as cashier and so long as he was connected with that institution it was conducted correctly. It was after he terminated his connection that the bank embarked upon the unfortunate course which led to disaster. When the bank failed Major Herrera was selected as re. ceiver by unanimous consent of all interested.
 Deceased was a native of San Francisco, California, of French and Peruvian percentage, and at the time of his death he was fifty six years of age. To mourn his loss he leaves a wife and infant daughter about five years of age, and family of sons and daugh- ters by former marriage, who are all about grown.
 MT. Herrera was always one oi the foremost business men of the line city, and he was arranging to establish a wholesale and jobbing drug business. His demise is a decided loss to Nogales.
 The remains will be brought from Los Angeles for burial and the funeral will take place from the family residence on Morley avenue at 2;30 tomorrow (Sunday) after. noon.
