Many Denouncements
Made.

Cananea, Sonora, Mex, July 1.-THE
Cananea Consolidated Copper company
Greene-Cananea) has resumed opera
lions at the Puertocitos property,
which is located at the western ex-
tremity of the district. This property
has been idle for over 8 year and but
little WORK nas been done in that To-
cality since that time.
Recently the company decided to do
some prospecting on the Puertocitos
and IT is understood that some crafty
ing results have been obtained. IN
fact, 1t is believed that work is being
resumed RI he property on account OF
the ore finds made in that locality.
Operations will be conducted on a
larger scale than heretofore and besides
the quarrying there will also be some
underground work done.
Heretofore the operations at Puerto
cftos consisted of quarrying the surface
ore, of which there is a body about
500 feet wide, with a band Of richer ore
in the center about 200 feet wide and
which is thought to pass through the
HILL as there is a strong outcrop OF
richer ore on either side which is SINH
lar In its relation to the poorer ore on
either side of it. The amount of ore
at this property is immense and 1t Is
supposedly the plan Of the company TO
block out this by means of drifts and
shafts.
Ore fs I'm Benches.
The ore is mined in benches 100 feet
apart and up to the time of ceasing OPP
erations had advanced 125 feet or more
into the ore without a sign of passing
through the carbonates. This blanket
is probssbly $50 to 200 feet thick and
lies like a blanket over the hill There
are three benches, two of which are In
ore. IT is roughly estimated that there
are at least 1,0000 600 tons of this ore
remaining awaiting transportation to
the reduction plant by way Of the mar
row gage railroad. a distance Of about
six or seven miles.
Ell Triunfo Consolidated Mining COM
pany made 20 ton shipment of high
grade copper matte to the Ell Paso
