the prices OF the best grades are higher
than they have been before at this
time since the civil war. Wholesale
dealers in the west side district say
that western spectators have been

to their present high level.
One Of the large dealers said that
there is no doubt Of the ability Of the
western men 10 keep up prices II they
are determined TO do so. The specula-

possibility that the western buyers
may unload Supplies ON the east and

for a supplementary concession cover
ing line north from Ures to Arize and
thence to Aqua Prieta. on the interna-
tional border below douglas, where con-
nection would be made with the Ell PaSo

The possibilities of a railroad from
Ures to Kino Bay passing through this
capital. have been brought to the atten-
ton of Dutch capitalists with a view 10
securing money from Holland for the
construction of the line. The conces-
sion, which is for 80 years, provides for
the completion of al least 10 kilometers
within Is months, and the completion of
the entire road within four years. 1t
allows passenger charges up to five
cents kilometer, and freight charges
of from three to nine cents per ton per
kilometer. A deposit of s25,S00 in gov
eminent bonds was necessary in con-
nection with the conces sion.
Mr.. Tarin's associates are Ramon P.

AMERICANS LOCATE
PLACERS, WILL
MOVE TOWN
Sonora Village Gives Way to
Progress Field Is
Rich.

HermosiIIo, Mex, June 27.-An en-
tire town is to be moved to permit
American interests to work plAcers in
the Barranca district of Sonora. The
town is San Antonio, founded early in
the eighteenth century and now hav-
ing about so families. 1t is within
the placer zone, and Herman Wendler,
a well known mining engineer who
represents the New York men owning
the San Antonio properties, has ar
ranged to build new houses and a new
church on ground that is not gold
bearing After the establishment of the
new town the old town will be wipeO
out
The San Antonio pIacers were sue
cessfully worked during colonial days,
the value of the gold extracted running
into the millions. The gold is found
along a former channel of the Yaqui
river and in gulcheS extending into 1t
from the mountains. The Spaniards
worked down the gulches from the hills
until stopped by the underground flow
of the Yaqui, there existing at that time
no facilities for the handling of the
water. The placers are now being pros
pected with keystone drills and the
prospecting is to be continued until
fall. SO far the results have been salts
factory. and If the finds continue so
during the next three months an ex
pensive dredging outfit will be pur
chased and installed. The -.ew York
men are forming a close corporation to
operate the placers
In the mountains above the San An
tonic placers, the YaQui Lines company,
an English concern, closely associated
with the Hudsons Consolidated, of Lon
doR, is developing a gold property. A
12foot ledge of ore averaging s13 gold
a ton has been cut. Mr.. Wendler is
also in charge of operations for the
English company.

MINE ACCIDENTS
IN THE COUNTRY
United States Government
Makes Report on 1909
Casualties.

Washington, D. c., June 27.-Coal
mine fatalities in the United States in
1909 were fewer than in 1908, notwith-
standing an increase of approximately
10 percent in the quantity of coal
mined. The figures compiled by Ed
ward W. Parker, statistician in charge,
division of mineral resources, United
States geological survey, show the total
number of deaths from coal mine acct
dents in 1903 to have been 2412, against
2450 in the preceding year.
Decrease in Fatalities In 1909.
The decrease in the number of fatal
accidents during 1909 is all the more
gratifying from the fact that in the
statistics for last year are represented
four states-Georgia, Oregan, Texas and
Virignia-from which no reports of ac-
cidents had previously been received.
The statistics for these states were
compiled from reports received by the
geological survey from the operators.
The number of men killed in 1909 in
these four states was 81, which makes
the showing for 1909 still more favor
able.
Increase In NonfataI Accidents.
In the number of nonfatal accidents
the record for 1909 does not compare
so favorably with those of previous
years as do the statistics of fatalities.
The number of men injured last year
| reached the unprecedented total of 1879,
an increase of more than 1900 over 1908
and 1908 showed an increase in nom
fatal accidents of more than 400 over
1907.
Causes of Accidents.
For the industry as a whole the num-
Der Of victims Of fire and explosion
is comparatively few. The greatest
danger to which the miner is exposed
is that from falls of roof and COAL
and this danger is materially increased
from the weakening of the roof and
the shattering of the coal left as sup
porting pillars when excessive charges
of powder are used. In 1909 out of
the 2412 men killed 1191 or As percent,
were victims of falls of roof or coal,
and of the 1879 nonfatal injuries $3.50
or 40 percent, were due to this cause.
Only IA percent of the deaths and less
than percent of the injuries were
due to explosions Of dust or gas, or
combinations of the two.
New Mexico.
In the Is years from 1895 to 1909,
inclusive, there were in New Mexico,
according to 10 z. Sheridan, territorial
mine inspector, a total of 223 fatal acct
dents. The law does not require the
reporting of nonfatal accidents. Dur
ing the Is years there have been only
four, 1895. 1899, 1901 and 1907, in
which there were any deaths charged to
explosions of gas or dust. The total
number of deaths from this cause was
43, and "a of these occurred in 1895
so that in IA years only 10 deaths have
been caused by explosions. Falls of
roof and coal killed 10S. In 1909 there
were 10 fatal accidents. a decrease of
10 as compared with 1905

DRY PLACER MINING IN
ALTAR DISTRICT, SONORA
Success of Quenner Machines Makes
Operations Profitable; Many Min
ing Men in Field.

Nogales, Son, Mex. June 27-It is
believed that the coming fall will see
great activity in the Altar district of
Sonora. The majority of those who de-
nounced dry placers following the news
of the success of the Quenner crushing
machines in the handling of the cement
ed gravel Of that region are just now
awaiting the issuance of titles by the
Mexican government. Under the new
mining law of Mexico it IS not possible
to work claims until titles are obtained.
Ten Of the Quenner machines are be-
ing built in the shops of Roy & Titcomb
here, for the American Ore Milling COM
pany, the American concern that owns
a 70 percent interest in the Quenner
patent. This company is now opera ting
a Quenner plant at placer holdings near
Boludo. The placer lease in the Boludo
section formerly worked by Mitts QUEEN
ner, the inventor, and the machine in
stalled there, were purchased some time
ago by Jose Monteverde, who is oper-
ating it. In the same territory Charles
H. Peck and J. E. Suits e Co. have
Quenner plants, and there is a plant at
placers nine miles east of Llano, held
by Lawton B. Garside At placers five
miles west of LlanO. Capt. George D.

MINING AND OIL NEWS.
MEXICAN MINE Of
PRECIOUS GEMS
FOUND
The Ancients Worshlped the
Stone-Miner Has Large
Collection.

Charles H. Beer, a mining engineer of
New York, but who is well known in
Ell Paso, has found a mine which he
states contains one of the most valu-
able and curious gems in the world.
Among the ancient Mexicans the stone
was called chalchihuitl, pronounced
chal-che-we-tal He exhibited a collec-
ton of marvelously beautiful polished
gems, in which the outlines of the sun
and the beetle are plainly marked in
the azure of the translucent stone. Mr..
Beer is now in Mexico at the mine, the
location of which he will not divulge,
but he left over the Mexico Northwest
ern railway.
You will find in the history of the
conquest of Mexico said Mr.. Beer be-
fore leaving, that the ambassadors of
Moctezuma brought to Cortez among
other valuable presents, four gems
which they called chalchihuitl. and told
him that each gem was worth more
than load GAO pounds) of gold. The
historian describes the gem as being
translucent, of a beautiful greenish
blue, streaked with white. 1t was more
highly esteemed and considered of more
value than diamonds, rubies or emer-
aids. The ancient Mexicans were sun
worshippers, and some Of the gem ma
terial shows q wonderful resemblance
to the rays of the morning sun. Some
of these gems also show the form
and shape of a beetle, as if photograph
ed in the heart of the stone"
DR.. Alfred Free, Americas highest au-
thority on precious stones, states: The
gem called chalchihuital is of the most
beautiful blue color notified with
white" and adds that Mr.. Beers gems
fit the description.
THE color" he says, SIS Of 4 most
beautiful translucent blue, unlike any
other known gem. 1t IS the blue of the
summers sky after rain, and the flakes
Of white are like the fleecy white clouds
that remain in the sky after the rain
has passed. 1t is wonderfully beauti-
full"
DR.. Free has made several analyses
of the gems found by Mr.. Beer, and
reports that it is a combination of
zinc, nickel, copper, tin, manganese and
PHOSPHORUS, and he gives it the<scien-
tific name 'naturalite." It is found
occurring in kidneys or nuggets in the
vein matrix Of porphyritic country
rock in the Sierra Madres.
Mr.. Beer states he is at present sup
plying the museums and cabinets Of
colleges in this country and Europe
with specimens. On the present trip
into Mexico, he expects TO bring back
a rare collection for DR.. Oliver Cum
mings Harrington, curator of geology
at the Field Columbian museum of Chi
cago. He has testimonials from DIR.
Max Bauer and DR.. Alfred Eppler, emf
nent German experts on precious stones.
Mr.. Beer also owns the Ysabelita
and Amelia mines in the San Pedro
district, as well as mines in Granite
gap, New Mexico which are profit
able, but he states his mine of gems
nets more money, the stones bringing
from 81 to $40 per carat

animation of the Mexicana mine, in the
Nacozari district, for the owner, Juan
Maria Salazar, of Chihuahua, who pur-
chased the property some four months
ago from David Rosa. The property
! IS one of the new discoveries made IN
that country since the advent OF rail-
roads, and goes TO prove that the an
t1guas are not the only mining proper
ties that exist in that marvellous coun-
try.
About four years ago David Rosa
discovered the property, and without
any means he has developed it extern
sively, milling the ores with nothing
but little 'burro arrastre not big
ger than a wash tub, not only paying
all expenses of the development, but
supporting his large family meanwhile
in comfort" said Mr.. Seawell- Mr.
Salazar, who had been looking for 4
mine for many years. hearing of it,
visited it and at once bought at, pay
ing $50, 600 for it. 1t is developed
now to a depth of 10 feet by shafts,
drifts and crosscuts, and now Mr.. Sala-
Ear is running a crOsscut tunnel, al
ready in lis feet, with only 50 feet
more to run, which will cut the lode
at the depth of ESQ feet. 1t is a great
proposition.
The distinctive character of the
quartz coursing northwest and south
east through a pOrphyry country
rock. Two rich veins average five
ounces gold and Il to 20 ounces silver
per ton, and the values are increasing
with depth. The ore is quartz and for
this reason being in demand at the
Douglas smelters, is treated free, and
Mr.. Salazar is shipping right along:
But the most remarkable thing about
the property is the fact that the entire
quartz lode or dixie between these
two veins, go feet wide, is a gold bear
ing vein that will afford an enormous
tonnage for a mill in the future.
AS a proof OF this, Mr.. Salazar has
found in the gulcnes below this dixie
vein huge boulders of the same quartz
showing free gold. The property is
only 10 miles east of Nacozari, the
present railway terminus.
BY the way, my visit to NacoZarl
was a revelation of the wonderful prog
ress making in the west coast. Thirty
years ago, just after 1 graduated from
a mining school, John H Bostwick,
one of the bonanza crowd of the Com
stock mines of Nevada, an old friend
of my fathers. employed ME to go
there to examine the copper resources
of that district. 1 then met him In
Tombstone and had to make the jour
ney muleback through a country badly
infested by the Apaches. There were
no inhabitants there then and my no
tel was under the shade Of a tree. Now
there is city and one of the great
est copper mines in Mexico. The trans
formation is truly wonderful"
