stands will be of the same pattern
which are now in use and which have
been giving satisfaction They are
electrically controlled.
The smelter of the Nina Mexico,
which is located near Tonichi. in the
Yaqui river district, has been 81 )sed
down until after the rains have sub
sided The reason is that the rains
interfere considerably with the trans
portation of supplies and matte to and
from the railroad, at Tonichi, which Is
done by means of pack mules As soon
as the rains are over, work Will be
commenced on a wagon road and when
this is completed auto trucks will be
installed for freighting purposes.
Surveys have been completed for the
road. With the use Of pack animals,
the plant is sometimes very short OF
supplies and often threatened with
shut down.
Seven and a half tons Of coke are
used daily at the plant, besides IA cores
of wood, and a ton of merchandise is
brought ipto the camp daily from the
railroad. Besides this freighting there
are also about 1-2 tons of matte to
ship daily. 1t requires about 500 pack
animals to handle the packing and
this means of transportation proves
costly. as it interferes with the opera
lions of the plant
During the recent political troubles
the company has been operating steadi-
1y and recently II carloads OF matte
were shipped from the camp There
are at present about three carloads
more OF matte awaiting shipment be-
