MINES OF MEXICO
(py Chas. A. plnsmore.l )

of a preacher at Mexico City, in which 1t Is stated that while there are nearly two billions of dollars of American money invested in Mexi- can mines and other enterprises, the Americans, in their haste for urohts. have forgotten the human feature of their enterprises, and do not know & company that has added anything but investments in Mexico"
 Now the fact is as Is well known by those who travel in Mexico. that all the large companies have added q great deal besides investments. ] have been in. every large mining camp in Chihuahua and Sonora. and I do not know a single company that does not maintain a school, a hospital. places for innocent amuse- ment, and in most instances they have built a good church Of course, if the people do not take advantage Of these things, the companies are not to blame-but just the same think even the devit' should be given his dues.
 E. H. Deyore, mining engineer, who has moved from Fl Paso to Douglas, has, I am told, gone to Los Angeles, but whether the stay is to be long I did not learn
 Need Passports.
 The trains to Nacozari have been running for some days now, but all persons desiring to go into Mexico through Douglas must have pass ports. l wanted to go over to Agua Prieta Wednesday afternoon, but the man at the Mexico custom house stopped me, and l hustled for a passport. Coming back to Douglas, Judge Doan went with me to the of- flee of the Mexican consul, ST. Elias, and the latter gentleman very gra- eiously granted me all that l de sired. He stated that while matters were in the present unsettled state the government desired every pre- caution to be taken, but that no hardships were to be imposed upon anyone. I rather think that the pass port Is good idea. as it instantly identifies enc in case of any trouble whatever.
 Sylvanite, New Mexico, where the big boom" was a little more than a year ago, is again coming to the front. but this time without any strenuosity. Two companies are steadily progressing, and am relia- ply told with good results. It is more than probable that the camp will after all, make good"
 Harry Duey is in the states from his mine at Nacozari. He has been working very good property down there for a year, on ore averaging about 50 ounces. Recently, however, be started some work on a surface showing. and from the grass roots he has had three feet of 150 ounce ore Work is being concentrated on this new find. which is simply a bet ter ore chute than the one they lave been working. It looks good, and everyone feels satisfied, be cause surely Harry Duey deserves success.
 Granite Gap Company.
 The Granite Gap company, operat- ing near Stein's Pass, is going ahead vigorously with its exploitation, as well as with the extraction of ore. Since the ending of a lawsuit the management has been more active than before, of course. John R. Bowling is in charge of all opera tions.
 W. H. Kennedy Is no longer con nected with J. W. Writer in the mining property at Lordsburg. Op- erations are steadily forwarding and shipments are being regularly made to the Copper Queen smelter at Douglas.
 Dr. L. D. Ricketts, general mana ger of the Cananea Consolidated. has returned from a three months trip through Europe, and he has gotten back with the glow or health and strength. and with his old-time determination and enthusiasm un- dimmed. Dr. Ricketts is, in my opinion, one Of the greatest mining and reduction men of the wori1, anc surely the results at Csnanea bear this out. During his stay atrOa1 he went to London Park. through Ger many and Austria to Constantinople, ,o Egypt and Italy and to Naples. and for several weeks he most dr- lightfully killed time on a boat ply ing the River Nile When the doctor reached Cananea he was griven reception showing the earnes. and heart-whole friendship Of an entire population. Dr. Ricketts founl the construction work on the new rever- bera-ories and the MacDoueali rcasters completed. and the plant in shape 10 care for the Miami con centrates, which are now reaching the camp.
