Capt. A. s Anderson, mining and
civil engineer, of Menan. Idaho. is at
the zieger, on his way home from a
trip in the Guaynopa mining district
on the dividing line between the states
of Chihuahua and Sonora, Mexico, where
he has been making surveys of the
mining properties of the Tres Amigos
Gold Mining company. OF which B. L.
Croft of Colonia Juarez. is president
and general manager. and Charles E.
Starkey is se"retarS- ana treasurer. The
company owns the Tres Amigos and
a dozen other properties.
The Tres Amigos company is doing
extensive work. now that the Pearson
railroad IS approaching that section,
said Capt. Anderson. 'and, among other
things. we have just uncovered a large
body of lead-silver ore in the Cinco

and associates. independently of the
aforesaid company hol lings. large ore

ing lead, silver and copper. In fact
there have been half a dozen rich
strikes made in the past few weeks in
that camp that would be regarded as
phenomenal in the western districts of
the United States"

Patch and Muller and r. c. Hat

the Carolina, with a vein over five
feet wide. carrying a sylvanite ore.
Samples recently taken out run $4,000

Twin Falls. I saw lots OF the ore from
that phenomenal camp just before I
came south, and talked with several
conservative mining engineers fresh
from there. and all agreed it will be
another and greater Cripple Creek this
summer. II is a sylvanite camp. and
