 CANANEA. Son. Mex. Dec. 26.- An important announcement was made last week by Supt Aug. Fritsehe Of the Mexican Metals company. the same being that the company has a shipment Of about forty tons or more Of ore ready to be consigned to the shelter. Just as to which shelter the ore will be shipped is not stated. but it is known that MT Fritsche is al present negotiating with several companies. The ore has been freighted into Cananea from the mine. located about eighteen miles southwest of the city and is at present waiting ship ment to the reduction plant. The ore will average over leo ounces in silver per ton. It also carries good values in copper lead and zinc
 Mir. Fritsche also announced that the company has decided to resume operations at the Palo Seco property. which adjoins the AlacTan, which is how being worked and developed. The old shaft of the Palo Seco is al present being unwatered and cleaned out preparatory to the resumption of operations.
 At the Alacran mine conditions are excellent and all work is going along smoothly. The shaft has reached depth of 175 feet and a station was begun this week on the 15Ofoot level. Some work was done on the 150-foo1 level by the Moctezuma-Arizpe con- pany tArizpe Mines Co. )but no sta tion was cut. In the North drift. the new company has done considerable nr1~ nd considerable ore being encountered at distance Of about 90 feet from the shaft. All the new work has vir- tually been on the vein. When first encountered the vein was about ten inches in width and has increased to twenty-four inches the present size. The vein assays average 100 ounces in silver. IS ounces gold, s per cent lead and IS per cent zinc
 Santa Rosalia
 w L. Edwards of the Santa Ro- salia stated this week that work al the property, located south or Can anea, is progressing nicely. with good results When Pres F. D. Johnson and Vice President Henry Hill Of Cal umet were at the property recently it was practically decided that figs will be installed to handle the ores and that if these prove satisfactory the old mill will be repaired and re- modelled sufficiently to carry on the work. and a larger plant installed. At present some high grade ore is being extracted and the prospects are that they will continue to do so, per haps on a larger scale than at pres ent, as the stringers and leads are strong. Prospecting is being carried on at five different points, on the 50, 1S0, 200, 250 and 350-foot levels and all workings are in ore of more or less value. About twenty men are be- ing employed at present. A shipment will soon be made to the Fl Paso shelter.
 Victor.
 News from the Victor mine, south west of the city is to the effect that the winze recently begun has been sunk to depth of 40 feet from the tunnel level and that the pay streak encountered a few weeks ago has wid- ened from two to twelve inches The vinze is being sunk on the ledge. The ore is of a carbonate nature and assays on a picked sample from DOT tions of the vein averaged 14.52 per cent copper All other work is pro gressing nicely,
