Much Activity Now Being
Evidenced in the Can
anea District

nOuucement is made by August
Fritsche, vice president and manager OF
the Mexican Metals company who IS
at presnt in Cananea, to the effect tnal
his company intends to resume opera
tiOns at the AriZpe mines OF the com
pany, the operations 10 begin as soon
as arrangements can be completed ana
the necessary help secured.
The Arizpe mines formerly owned
by the Arizpe Mining company are
located but a short distance from "a
nanea, and this camp viii be the head
quarters Of the company while work
ing, which is supposed to be Tor some
time to come. Mr. Frltsche STATES tuat
the property will be thoroughly pros
peCted and that the use OF cnurn arms
viii be resOrted- to IN all Likelihood
The primary move will probably De
the resuming OF work IN the Al aGIein
and PalO SecO shafts, both OF when
have been sunk to some distance Dy the
old company, and which have been
in charge of a Waterman for the past
only Property 1t owns.
The property (Arlzpe) is all that the
Mexican Metals company now possesses
as IL allowed the other mines located
west Of Cananea, in the Magdalena
district, to revert back to the for
mer owners, the Dominion syndicate,
some time ago. The Arizpe properly
consits Of about $1,000 hectares
(675,0 acres) lying in the Manzana1
mountains, Is miles southeast TO IL
miles northeast Of Cananea- They con-
sist Of the following groups; Alac-an'
Rey del CObre, Palo SecO, La victoria
Manhattan, La Princess and La Sc
Vile
In the period from 1905 to 1903 a
number OF shipments were made from
the Alacran mine and several from the
Palo SecO. Old records snow that the
ore averaged better than $40 United
States currency per ton net ana hlgh
In silver contents Many shipments
were made to the Cananea smelter,
eli IN oTanfa q Don erLaE and I'll
Paso.
The Palo seco shaft contains con-
siderable wateE but this can be easily
handled as the prOpert- is thoroughly
equipped In fact everything is al
most in readiness, all being needed TO
begin operations IS an Overhauing OF
the machinery.
These mines will be the first to re-
sumo after a long peHiOd Of idleness
in this locality, and it is to be hoped
that more viii follow soon.
Chispas In Good shape.
Edward L. DufOurcq, manager Of the
Pedrazzini Gold & Silver Mining COM
pany, which owns the famous Chispas
property near Arizpe, left the mines
this week and went to san Francisco
on business connected with the com
pany In passing through Cananea Mr..
DufOurcQ stated that the Injunction
which was recently issued by the state
govrnment restraining the company
from using its new cyanide plant had
been dissolved, and that everything was
now running in excellent shape. In
l fact the property is in better shape
than ever before. During the past
month several high grade strikes were
made which ran exceedingly high in
silver.
The operation Of the cyanide plant
/ greatly enhances the output Of the
| company as II is handling at the pres
I ent time about 40 tons Of old tailings
and 80 Of the new daily, this amount
| to be increased in the near future The
I old tailings average 20 ounces in sill
yer per ton, and tWO-tenths ounces in
] gold. The company will be soon IN
Z shape TO clean up about 1000 ounces
/ per day with the plant.
| Valuable TailinEs.
/ On one Of the dumps there are about
/ II, 600 tons Of tailings which will run
{ 90 ounces in silver, while on another
I dump there are about the same amount
! which will average 10 ounces
/ Ore and concentrates are being ship
/ ped by way Of QuerObabi, on the So
/ nora railroad while the bullion is ship
! ped by way Of Cananea-. A few days
] ago a bullion shipment was made
/ which was Of considerable value
I The concentrates shipped are worth
Z $500, O. S. currency, per ton. and the
] ore also runs at that value, the lower
! grades being handled at the property
The monthly output ~ the COM
{ Dany IS valued at about S42. 600 United
I States currency. The output for the
/ present year is expected to total ap-
prOximately S450,00O.
I The Carmen-Aaria company, operat-
I ing in the Chispas district near the
] Chispas mine, is working steadily at
/ present and considerable ore is being
{ opened up. Three shifts are being en-
I plOyed at present and considerable ore
/ las been encountered. A shaft which
is at present being sunk, has reached
I a depth Cf SOC feet.
