 Bostwick and Dickson, owners of the Washington mine, located in the Sonora river valley near Hue pac, have decided to organize a com pany with low capitalization and sell the property to the company, wh,eh will carry on development work The company should prove a successful one from it's inception as the Washington is considered one of the largest copper propositions in this portion of the state.
 It is understood that there are about 250,000 tons of ore already blocked out which will average be tween and 5 per cent copper, and as the dead work has been com pleted for the opening of several ! levels, it Is expected that the ton nage will be greatly increased with few months work.
 The ores Of the Washington arc of an ideal concentrating character, be- \ ing similar to that of the Nacozarl mine of the Phelps-Dodge company. l This company makes a recovery oi from so to 55 per cent agaist b5 to : 70 per cent recovery of disseminated 1 porphyrys. Another advantage of the 1 Washington is that Bosdck and I Dickson are the sole owners and ! that all the money will be used in
 the further development Of the
 mine and not in the purchasing Of
