Cldily interesting llOuf Olc. iSAhA VI view tthe purchase of properties, and for this reason the entire para graph is egiyen: During the yoai ending Dec. 3l, 1910. 6S4 separate mining propositions were presentec for consideration by the exploratic. department of your comany. An eN aminatiog of the reports submitted
 together with a knowledge of the distscts in which the properties
 were located was sufficient to warrant the rejection of 5l4. Of i24 properties a reliminary examination ton was made by the engineers o this department. with the result thal no further work was recommendeC on them. On 46 properties, on whlci a preliminary examination had been made. further work was recOmmend- ed, and a complete examination O
 these properties was undertaken with the result that two properties were reserved for further considers- ! ton: and it is hoped that satisiae.
 tory terms can be arranged for taei-
 purchase during the coming year. The Miami.

 The Virginia District. ! In the eastern part of the Moc- ! tezuma. Sonora. mining disdrict is { Q new mining district known as the ! Virginia. It lies bout % miles nortl- east from the pueblo of Nacori Chico. 1 along the western slope of the Sierra Madre. just at the lower edge of the
 fine timber, in a belt of live oak and juniper. All the gullies have water,
 and the general camp conditions ere
 ideal.
 The ore is an iron-silyer sGlphure'
 bearing free gold and values run ve~y
 high. The two precious metals carr,
 about the ration of 40 to 100 if value, the silver value being th' higher. Lead, zinc, antimony ana
 antimony and copper are practically
 absent. and the ore seems first clas } for cyaniding. The work thus far i 3 entirely superficial in the immens 1 rhyolite dykes which bear the ores 3 but at various elevations and in eacl ', of several parallel dykes the sam i. characteristics and values occur. D The principal claims, and whicl are being worked, are the Con Vii e ginia, IT Rubi. La Soledad, Inde t pendencia, all being in good ort y There are other good looking proi $ critics, idle at this time. these II 9 cluding La Cara de Moneda, l. E Barrosa, La Colorado. Platoro.
 These ones, if encountered in

 silver and one ounce gold Is encour :, tered by all who have broken int - the solid formation under the leache
 croppings. The district is best trit . utary to Cases Grandes and Fl Pesc but at present gets it's supplies iron : ! Nacozari. A small outlay would givu it good outlet eastward through th'
 Mormon colonies of Pacheco an' Chuichupa to Casas Grandes. Ther' 2 is a long belt of the same cropping. practically unexplored. which merits , much attention.
