SIN RAFAEL BUYS
REMEO|S MINE
At PARRAL
Rich Silver Strike Made in
San Cristobal Group.
AIvarado' to Develop

Parral, Mexico, July A deal or
Importance to this district was con-
summated in Mexico City when Albino
Garcia, principal owner OF the Rene
dos group OF mines in the Minas
Nuevas district. turned over the prop
critics of the Compania Minera de San
Rafael y Anexas for sum said TO DO
in excess Of 100000. The. San Rafael
company is one of the largest operating
mines company in the republic of Mex
leo. Their capital is said to be about
$50, 100000. with their largest field in
the Pachuca district
The Remedies mines have been
worked for years in small way and
at various intervals were reported sold
to mining companies in this district.
The properties lie on the famous Veta
Colorado, or red vein, in the Minas
Nuevas district, and the quality Of ore
runs very high in silver
Work on the properties will begin on
or about September 1. and Will be on
a large scale. Plans have already
been drawn for the erection of a large
tonnage capacity cyanide mill for the
treatment of the ores. and new pumps
and materials will be purchased for
the mines.
Rich Strike Made.
In sinking a Wine from the fourth
Level Of the San Rafael vein Of the
San Cristobal group a strike of silver
ore was made which tends to show
the permanency Of good ore at great
depth in the Parral camp.
The San Rafael vein. which is %
feet in width, has carried on the foot
wall from three to eight feet of mar
ketable ore in the upper level, but this
winze, which is being sunk on the
hanging Wall, is now in ore sampling
from 100 to 2948 grams of silver. And
a crosscut from one wall to the other
in the vein shows that the entire vein
Is now in solid marketable quartz.
This strike is Of particular impor-
lance from the fact that it has been
predicted for years by prominent ehgi-
neers that many of the large veins of
the camp. only a part of which was
marketable ore, would make into solid
high grade ore at great depth.
The work on the San Cristobal prop
erty, now down over 700 feet, proves
the fact that the entire vein is now
made into solid silver ore, and that
the theory of the engineers was cor
rect.
The San Cristobal company is now
installing three new hoists. A salts
factory contract has been made with
the Veta Colorado Mining and Smelt-
ing company. and to whose mill they
viii begin shipping ore within a few
days.
The property is large one. running
nearly a kilometer in length. II, is
owned by Messrs. B. Y. Gordon and
James Taylor, both of New York city.
Mr.. Gordon is on the ground daily
and manages the property.
Decide on Big Development.
At a meeting Of directors Of the
Alvarado Mining and Milling company
it was voted to carry on a more
extensive development of the COM
pany's properties than has been prac-
ticed during the past few months.
while the recent revolution was in
progress.
A number of additional drifts will
be started on the vein both north
and south from the Presena shaft,
which has reached depth of 92S feet.
This shaft IS located about the center
of the property, on the famous Vets
Colorado ledge on which the company
owns more than a mile Of ground.
Work will also be carried on in the
Las Cruces mine. which is on the Caba-
dena vein, upon which the company
owns something over a mile. The
main shaft on this property is down
TO 400 feet
From the bottom Of the new three
compartment shaft, which was sunk
from the level of the new tunnel in the
PalmiIla mine. drifts will be driven on
both the 700 and 500 foot levels, which
wilr open 200 feet Of virgin ground in
that property, from whichthe company
expects to produce their highest grade
ores.
Directors authorized the purchase of
another tramway for the purpose OF
bringing the ores from the Veta Colo
rada group of mines to the company's
cyanide mill. which are now being
transported from that point by rail
It is estimated that this tramming can
be done at a cost not to exceed cents
per ton. The ore from the Palmilla
mine to the mill is being transported
at the present time over an aerial
