 Arizpe. Son, Mex.--The properties Of Pedrazzini Gold and Silver Min ing Co, are located some 15 miles rom Arizpe, Sonora. Mexico. aud are something over 50 miles from Nacozari, and ap iupt pce fEom Cananea. The latter point has hither- to been the general agency and supply point for the mine, but an automc- bile road is now about completel from Nacozari, whence all supplies are to go in future. There will be used large trucks for the general supplies. and ..- ~..- 70, as sengers and mail.
 The Pedrazzini mines, as they are known, are historical the world over; but much of this history" is sneeI .guesswork. especially as it relates to Mir Pedrazzini I have just re- turned from a trip to that property. which is now in the very heart the insurectionary movement, and I feel competent to say what is and is not regarding history. I will tell the story first. because the mine have produced many millions of dJl- lars and are liable to give many more, which is always interesting. A good many years ago there was an English company working the Carmen mine under title the Maria Mining and Milling Co. Juan Ped razzini,. an Italian of more than or dinary education and intelligence. was employed as bookkeeper for this company, and he served in the same capacity for several other cor ar9, raa- Pedrazzini. whom the company owed considerable money, leased the Car men, with two Americans, for year, during which time there wss 2 little profit; but nol sufficient for the Americans, who resigned as leasers and left the country. Pedrazzini wanted his pay, and as the Maria company could not produce the sum they owed, they gave him title to tue Carmen. He started the see ond year as owner. instead of leas- CT. He caused his men to go into what was supposed to be e erosscut tunnel, then about 400 feet long. and to crosscut 10 the cast from the tunnels face Tbsv broke into ore I5 fee. from the tunnel, and this proved the biggest bonanza there ever was in the mine, it netting Pee razzini in a twelve-month over Ssq. .6d0, gold. I was in this old stope on May Day, and it was big one, extending upward several hundred feet, an average of feet in width and probably 200 feet long. It Is said that the average value in this bonanza was upward of 1900 ounces silver to the ton. While this was soing on Pedrazzini kept keeping looks. There was a big cattle an1 land estate owning many pertenencies of mining ground, and these people had Hr. Pedrazzini care for their books. He had ridden over thf ground where now is the Chispas mine, and he liked it. He arranged with the estate to pay him no money for his labors, but instead to pay ir land-and he took all his land in the Chispas Announcements. He pros pected the Chispas vein very thor cushly and consistently, and with the money taken from the Carmen he drove crosscut tunnel to get the vein at depth. He first found the William Tell vein, whose principal mineral is gold. and a little farther in he found the Chispas. Since then his property has been making for tunes for himself and the few who are "in" with him. so that is the 'story'-and it is wonderful enough of itself.
 The Pedrazzini G. & s. M. Co. has Juan Pedrazzini for president, Frederico Montiio. vice president;
