While l do not care to exnress ] nave not permission. I shall stare 'nat undoubtedly the properties of the Cananea Consolidated are among the greatest on the continent. [ from thg s:neTTer fo the P9erfa- clto mine is distance of ten miles l oy the railway, and I believe thai practically every foot of thz way is In mineral Sometimes not in pay put so often in good pay as to create wonder Probably in many places they are mining psr cent ere. and possibly in other places it will run some better.
 Puertacito is a picturesque place
 The railroad stops on the summit ! because If it did not it would go down "n the ether side. The yard in front or the company store sees the water when It rains run either way-from one part cf the yard the water runs to , the Gulf of Mexico, from thz other part west tc the Pacific. becacse it is exactly on the divide.
 The Puertacitos mine has great surface deposit. where they arz work ing some 200 men.
 Many years ago Tom Williams had Q little One-furnace shelter here. He hauled his coke by wagon from Fair chllds, and of course he had to Chlo- Ftde for the frst-class ore. else he would have gone to the wall As it was, he didn't make many millions But it is a big property.
 The next property is the Henrietta Nos. l, and 3, th=i latter a tunnel. lhen comes Elisa. and some new pros poets that look we'll Then down to the Capote and Oversight, the latter the mine that made the camp. Here th5y employ the sluicing system Of inning as done in the Mesaba range Whch combines economy with expedi tion and thoroughness.
 There are many other properties ii the holdings, some of ths1n prOducint tremendously.
 The concentrator is running about 1000 tons of ore through a day and getting from 300 to 800 tons of con eentrafes. A new installation is be- 'ng made across the gulch from the concentration, including an auxiliary plant of 60 vanners and 40 tables. These handle the sands. shines. etc. from the other concentrators and it is expected that a considerable saving above present methods will be ef- fected by this means.
 The installation of fuel oil has been considerable saving and practically everything but a few locomotives is now operated by oil.
 At the power plant, as handsome a plant as may be found anywhere in the world, the work is done by very few men because of both the fuel oil and the gravity oiiing systems. both being worked to perfection Truly, this plant breathes economy. The re verberatory is also doing fine work with oil
 The smelter Is a wond-T. for afact Six furnaces are in blast. and an average of 4.000.00O pounds of copper are produced month. with @ consid- erable gold-silver by-product.
 The entire work is quite perfect, from the mine to the sale of the re- fined product There is, I am sure, no better force than here, evsTv one an expert and every one intensely in- terested in his work. This all spells activity and advance, and that means lot for Fl Pasc.
 l dined in the evening with R. K. Clancy, manager cf the Santa Ro- salia mine. fifty miles south from here. a gold property. MT. Clancy is putting forth every effort and indica- tions are that he will win. This is an old antigua from which s4.000.000 wers taken in years agon. There is much ore yet in sight.
