 The Calumet & SOncra Mining company is at present cutting down on is outpgt pending the instana- iion of new machinery and the en.
 larging of its concentrator and inc making of other improvements
 which when completed means a greatly increased output of lead silver orc In a winze which was started on The zoo foot level some time aso and which is now down ES feet. fine grade of ore was en- .coantered all the way down the ore holding the lead-silver values with copper values increasing and m al d;tion to the valuable deposits al- ready blocked out another new strike was made in new territory last week. This mine is considered. by well informed mining men in Cananea as being one of the most promising properties in the state of Sonora and it .s understood that the changes and improvements now being planned contemplate a greatly increased development and output from this property. Several adobe houses are under way for the bet ter accommodation of the 100 men employed by the company and their families and a school house and jail are under construction. The property is about two miles north Of Cananea
 Interesting developments are Oc, curing al the Cananea-Boston prop erty which adjoins the Calumet 6 Sonora and Greene-Cananea prop critics and about three-quarters of a mile from the big smelter and the depot This company has two shafts. l in one of which a vein of higE grade i lead-silger ore was struck ct forty i two fec and a drift run for thirty | i've feet and in good concentrating ore all the way. The shaft was con tinued on down to the 2 foot level | in order 10 drift and get under the vein at that depth. but the inflow ! of water was such that work has | been temporarily abandoned At the other shaft. which is down 7j feet and where the water a few weeks ! ago came in too strong to handle with windlass. a horse whim has teen installed and a drift was started last week and some very 1 good looking ore already e1count- 1 cred This shaft has been put down 1 in close proximity to the junction of two large rhyOIie veins pro-
 nounced by mining men and engin eers to be the most promising in
 the entire district, and the further
 development of which is anxiously
 awaited by large number of in- terested parties in Cananea.
 There is not much change in the Iopera'tions of the big company, the
 big installations of machinery and
 improved methods of the past year I having added greatly toward a more economical output.
 There are various rumors Of con
 solidations of business enterprises
 in the camp which are likely to take place within the next few weeks.
 On the -Pattison ground
 comprising some 700 acres or more.
 considerable surface prospecting is
 heinz done. Ore running 65 per
 cent in copper with 40 ounce silver
 value was encountered in an sO-
 foot shaft on this property recently.
