BYUN|QUE METHODS
MEXICAN MINE
CUTS COST
ALI Work in PilareS Copper
Mine Is Done by
Contract.

''The Pilares copper mine Of the
Moctezuma Copper company, located
about six miles from Nacozari, Son.,
Mex" said George Ginther, who has
been employed there for the past few
months, 'fs the biggest single low
grade copper deposit in the world and
is producing copper concentrates on
the lowest scale of costs of any mine
in the world. Their system is differ
ent than in any mine 1 have ever seen
or heard Of
The Porvenir tunnel as shown by
tablet at its entrance was started in
1888, and is of great length, 700 feet
below the surface, and from this the
ore is hauled to the concentrating mill.
The mining methods are unique.
The work is all done under contract
system. The hand drillers get one
peso for each nine feet of drilling.
which means six feet, as they get
bonus In addition to the drilling
bonus the hand driller gets bonus
for shooting the hole. The puntista
loads the hole with powder at the
company's expense and also breaks
down the loose rock and cleans off
the surface for the drillers. The
driller shoots the holes"
The mucking is also done by con-
tract, the mucker getting Is cents per
car if the work is shoveling and 20
cents if it is wheeling into the chutes
up to 20 feet. Eight wheelbarrows OF
ore is counted as a car.
Rayadores Keep Tab.
The company furnishes "rayadores"
who keep tab on the work of the
muckers, making it specially, and
the rayadores are selected from men of
a different nationality than the muck
era
There is very little timbering en-
pIoyed in this mine, and the filling in
of the slopes with waste economically
is an item of great Importance in the
mine. In this, also, the company en-
ploys the contract system.
The company has no trouble in
breaking in Chinese and Japs. especial
~ JapS as machine drillerS. The JapS
are far more intelligent and superior
in this line But the Mexican is far
the best as a hand driller.
The Rosario Mining company, about
midway between Pilares and Nacozari.
in charge Of DR.. Dewitt manager and
principal owner, is employing 80 1eJ.
and is now extracting large tonnage
of high grade copper-silver ore which
is being shipped to the Ell Paso
smelter
Road VIII Start Boom.
All the mines south of N9cozari are
anxiously awaiting the building of the
Southern Pacific railroad, which is al
ready graded from Nacozari to Mocte-
yuma, passing through Cumpas. which
will complete the gap between there
and Tonichi, the present terminous on
the Yaqui river branch. When that is
accomplished, there will be hundreds
of rich mines in full operation, as the
road will pass through the richest
part of Sonora.
The Tigre is doing an immense
amount of work and hauling in lots of
machinery and 1aborers to that camp;
and the North Tigre company is doing
lot of business, as is also the Cinco
de MAYO.

RICH IN GOLD ORE
ARE ARIZONA MINES
Tomlinson Says Mohave and

Great Gold REGIONS.

The whole of Arizona is looking up

In the main work shaft which is 10
feet deep and in the drift in the 100
level we are mining ten and a half
feet of ore running 16 gold per ton.
In the drift and shaft we have -
inches of ore running four ounces gold
per ton, and have mill ore six feet
wide and have not reached any walls
as yet. In the group of claims we have
five developed mines and are mining
ore from every claim. One of these.

DIR. KUMM RETURNS FROM
 JOURNEY THROUGH AFRICA

London. January 22.-(Specisl.)-one of the most important and interesting jour- neys undertaken in recent years into the heart of the Dark Continent has just been completed by pr. Karl Kumm, head of the Sudan United Mission, an organi- zation whose staff consists largely of university graduates. with representatives from South Africa and America, and which has already established a line of posts through the less known parts of Nigeria, bordering on the Central Sudan, and has penetrated as far into the in- ferior of Africa as that region where British, French and German possessions meet on the edge of the Sahara.
 Dr. Kumm started on his perilous jour ney in the autumn of 1908, accompanied by & number of missionaries, who were to be left at the various stations en route. When on the completion of his purely missionary work, he found him self 900 miles in the heart of Africa. he determined to push on through little with the ultimate object of reaching the Nile.
 His determination resulted in a number of thrilling experiences, including the meeting with one of the most powerful chiefs in Central Africa.
 In speaking of this parsonage, Dr. Kumm said:

IRELAND WILL

 This Summer HOPES FOR HOME RULE Progress of the Elections Ie Being Watched With Absorbing Interest. Ancient Order of Hibernians

By THOMAS EMMETT.

Dublin, January 22.-(SpeciaI )-Ireland is astir with plans to give her absent sons rousing welcome when they re- turn to the old sod next summer upon the pilgrimage arranged by the Irish , Home Coming association in the United states. Letters galore are being received py the old folks and the stay-at-home young folks in all parts Of Erin, from the absent ones in America, announcing intended visits. with the result that fam fly joy is adding fuel to public spirit and there Is likely to be such homecoming as neither Ireland nor any other coun try ever has witnessed
 The idea of such a pilgrimage has reached out from the United States. where it originated, to every part oi the world where Irishmen have made their homes. and letters are arriving from Canada and from South Africa. from India and from Australia, from big coun- tries and small ones, assuring relatives here at home that the Irishmen from Amerca are not going to have the fun all to themselves. but that, on the prin- ciple of the more the merrier, there will be Irishmen from every land to share in the welcome home and to add to the enthusiasm of the reunion.
 The people of Ireland are permitting no shamrocks to grow under their feet in the work of making ready for the great incursion. Municipal bodies. boards of trade and big social organizations are taking an active interest in the prepara- tions, and, together with men of prom thence in various walks of life, are giv- ing assurance that success will crown the occasion. Great bouquets will be arranged: beautiful arches will be located and designed; there will be Donnybrook fairs and meets for Irish games; and
