DEVELOPMENTS IN THE GREAT
 MINING FIELD SOUTH 0F HERE

, Work on the Nina Blanca claim west of Moctezuma is being pushed by hand pending the arrival of ma. chinery. The shaft has gone down into three feet of ore on the chute formerly worked by the antiguos on the surface where it showed only from eight to twelve inches. Ship n ents may be IxItoted from this claim in the near future, reports w. P. Bedding who is no wthe local man. ager.
 Moetezuma Distriet-cumpas. The Washington mine of Messrs. Bostwick and Dickson is reported sold to the c. and A. interests of Bis.
 bee. Several hundred feet of devel opment work on this prp- -erty is said to show ore averaging per cent in copper. The mine is located near the divide on the Moctezuma river at Cumpas and the Sonora river at Huepac and the sale. If as reported will be of much interest to operators in that section as it will mean the building of a line of railroad from the Yaqui river line at Cumpas or an entirely new road down the So- nora river from Cananea. This will open up considerable territory hitherto but little exploited. The price said to be paid for the property is s250.000.
 The Minneapolis Copper company,
 under the management of Tom l.. West. has resumed operations after
 a close down of several months. Work is confined to development and no ore is being shipped.
 Manager H. c. Beauchamp of the Transyaal Copper company at Cum pas reports work progressing on the Cobre Rico, Buckeye and Transvaal mines with a force of about 100 men. Some concentrating ore is being en-
 countered but the shelter is still idle and no ore is being sent out from the mines.
 At the San Lorenzo mine west of Cumpas work is going on under the
 direction of John A. Rice of Fl Paso who holds a bond and lease on the property. A considerable body of concentrating ore is being opened up and the property is in a position to ship high grade copper-silver ore when desired.

 plotted principally in Bisbes- A small force of men Is at work cn
 the Fl Triunfo mine, out of Chianpa
 Sonora. Manager Charlotte Is report | ed to be framing cottonwood trees in l the neighborhood of the mine with | the intention of erecting a dry con 1 centrator with which, for some un
 known reason, the property is to be
 equipped. This proposition has been ] considered a stock iobbing scheme since its inception and. in spite of the
 fact that at no time has any ore oi | consequence been blocked out in the
 mine, has been equipped with Med
 bery smelter. 1 A small force of men Is at worf cleaning out the Santa Fe mine south
 east of Cananea. The property wal NOIhSu Ds the oh'iSuoS anu s"Ns'N I cinos for the high grade silver ore found there and Manager P. J. re
