BRIDGE GANGS ARE
 BUSY BELOW DOUGLAS

The work of rebuilding and repair ing the railroad bridges burned on the Nacozari line between this city and Nacozari during the last month will be started today, according to M AcMahan. road master of the Nacozari railroad, who arrived in Douglas yesterday to receive needed material which arrived this morning from Fl Paso.
 A good many bridges were burned by the insurrectos which were tenn porarily repaired by cribbing up with ties. Now permanent repairs will De made. Two working crews have been provided and they will start work today from both ends of the line. It is expected that it will require about one month to complete all the work on hand
 NIT. McMahan states that all is now quiet along the line and no iu- terference has occurred for more than a week Yesterday there was party of insurrectos at Yzabel. who it was supposed were after the bandit gang that has hc-n making trouble for the Fl Tigre stage and freightlng outfits

INVESTIGATION AT
 LAST AT AN ND
lDouglas International D

After two weeks of almost daily sessions the investigation which has been held in Douglas over the Agua PTfeta battles has come to an end This morning Colonel Nichols lefl for the east and tonight Major Win ship, judge advocate expects to leave. No statements are given out as to the results arrived at for these must emanate from the war depart ment at Washington and not from the officers who were appointed to look into all of the facts and cir cumstances and report to the na- tional capital
 While none of the conclusions ar rived at in the military iuvestiga- tion that has just ended in this city are definitely known, 1t is cer- tain that it has been full and com plete, all details have been gone into thoroughly and the various questions viewed from all possible points. A vast volume of dispositions and tes- umony has been taken and forward ed to Washington, from whence at some future time it is expected that some statement will come, possibly in reports submitted by the war de partment to congress.

MINING NEWS FROM THE GREAT
 SONORA FIELD

a number of insurrectos in that vi- cinity. but they have not interfered with the operations of the company.
 Edward l.. Dufourcq, manager of the Pedrazzini Gold and Silver company, which owns the famous Chispa mine in the AFizpe neighbor- hood, arrived in Cananea from New York City this week and has gone to the property. MT. Dufourcq stated that the new cyanide plant whicn has been under construction since last fall has been completed and is now in operation.
 The Plata Fine property. which is located near Promontorio, IS show lnZ up well. The shaft has reached a depth Of leo feet and is sunk in a six-soot iedge which runs fairly high in gold and silver vaiues.
 The Calumet X Sonora Develop ment company. which is operating near the Alamo ranch. southeast Of Ilano. has sunk it's shaft to a derth Of i25 feet. X station has been tCt at the f0O-foot level and a crosscnt also run at that depth to cut the ledge. Six feet of high grade copfer ore has been opened up by the cross- cut. The indications are excellent for finding large body Of rich ere.
 The Penn-Sonora Mining compai. which owns the Durango mines, To- cated about 9 miles southwest cf Nogales. is sinking a working shalt which will enable them to get below the antigua workings and work o3S the ore. The shaft is one compart t,ent and a manway and has rea'hs-i a depth of 115 feet.
 Work at the Cananea-Boston prop trtN, at the edge Of Cananea, IS progressing nicely. A drift on the I--foot level of No. shaft has pass ed through considerable small strlns- CTS of lead-silver ore.
 During the past week insurreetos have been interfering with the hne- ,.sen who are working on the trans mission line between Douglas, Ariz., ana the Tigre mine. They have cut the wires at innumerable points and as soon as repairs are made they re-cut them. Finally the insurrectos advised the hnemen. who ar3 Amer jeans. to leave and return to l-e t-uited states. which they d!d

AMMUNITION NOT OF
 THE RIGHT VARIETY
InsumectoS at Agua Prieta Had Shells, but of the
 Wrong Kind
tDouglas Internationalj

When Agua Prieta was evacuated by the insurrectos on the night of April r and morning oi April IS the event was unexpected by most people and ineXplicable to some. The statement was made that the sud den retirement of the insurrectJs was caused by a lack Of ammunition and many secuted this idea. con clusi 9 proof that such was the case however is now at hand in a photo graph that has been made of col lection of shells used by the insur- rectos at Agua Prieta and accumu- lated by Dr, Armstrong.
 When the town across the border was found to have been deserted by the revoltosos this paper stated that SO many different kinds Of guns made LID the equipment Of the rebels that it was impossible to get am rnuuition for all classes of arms and as a result many were left short at at the close Of the days fighting. If had been said that there was uIentv of ammunition in Agua Prieta and the fact that shells were cap fl,red in considerable quantities bore out that statement, but the ammuni- ton would not suit all equipments.
 After the battle of Agua Prieta pr Armstrong collected all of the different kinds of shells that he could find. The result is surprising and even then it is by no means certain that he obtained a speciment Of every variety that was used. This collection. one specimen of each kfnd Of shell that he found, Dr. Armstrong has had photographed and 1t shows tWenty-eight different varieties. These range from the long sharp bullet shot by the most modern Springfield to % calibre rifle shells and shot gun shells This uhotograph is an Illuminating exDia- nation of why the insurrectos ran short of ammunition, not of all kinds. but of so many that a large number of the garrison were out of the fight and retreat was the only course that remained to them, the armed fighters of the federais then greatly outnumbering the reYol- fosos who had ammunition in tbeir armament
 That SO many kinds of ammunition were t,seA .a the fighting on April I7 Is a surprise to everyone, Tor few had thought that there were more than a dozen makes of arms, af the outside. in the equipment that fhe fnsurrectos had accumulated Last night an American insurrecto who had been at Sahuaripa and other of the points in the south where there was fighting stated that if a complete collection of the shells used in all that fighting could be added to the collection from Agua prieta he believed it would double fhe number.

 CANANF,A, Son. Mexico. May G. All the new construction work at the Cananea Consolidated Copper comlany's plant Is about completed and all that remains unfinished at present is the dust chamber for the eonyerters at the siueltcr. This will be completed some time this month.
 During the month of April the company's smelter turned out ap- proNimatei, ,aee. 900 rounds ot cop per, Which includes some of the Miami metal. Since the first part Of April concentrates from Miami have teen arriving steadily from the property in the Glo1e distri-- Of Af- izona. and al the present time they are arriving in CaIanea at the rait of about 50 tons daily. With the MI ami concentrates added to the reg ular output oi the company. the May output should approximate six mli- lioh pour-s.
 A peculiar scene IS to bo noted when a visit is made to the rear Of the shelter where the dust chamber Is being constructed. Here the steel workers are forced to work aitired iu helmets to protect them from he strong fumes. The helmet Is connect cd by rubber tube with a com pressed air pipe and the air enters the lower portion of the helmet driving the fumes away from the ,rearer Inv means of a small hole at the ton of the helmet and also TUT nishing the wearers with fresh ar. The wearers of these peculiar he[ nets are known about the plant as th. Four Cs Smoke Divers
 The McDougal furnaces have all been -eompleted and will soon be in operation, the total number now be- ing ten. six of which are new.
 The spreading bed for handling the concentrates which are calclned bv the McDougals, was placed ID op- eration this week.
 The bins for receiving the Miami concentrates have been completed' IS have also the dryers.
 The mill of the Calumet & Sonora Mining company is a busy scene at the present time on account Of two new figs being installed, replacing the old ones, and when this IS done the mill will be equipped with three first class jigs. Several new Diester tables are also being installed at the mill.
 The reyerberatory furnace when was recently constructed at the propsrty of the El Triunfo Consoti- dated Mining company is now ID operation. having been in use Tor about two weeks. Since it was blown in it has been giving excellent re suits and no trouble has been haa with it. At present there are quite
