 NEW MINE OUTLEI
Report That British Syndicate win Extend Lines Up the
 Sonora Valley

TUCSON. Aug. 21.-News of rail road that is pushing its way up through Sonora and which is likely 10 prove an important factor in the development of mines in the state Just south Of the International line. was brought to Tucson yesterday This road is being built by British synliea,e. is planned to run from Ainas Prieta to Torres and is now nearing Ures. It is a road of which comparatively little has been heard. but it's construction continued through. out most of the period Of the recent revolutionary disturbances. It is i'm. portant not from what it may bring tc the United States, but for what it may take away since it will give to the country through which it passes transportation over a river grade to tidewater
 The Minas Prieta railroad is a standard gauge road and it is now constructed almost to Ures. Recently the matter of extending it up the Sonora valley further was taken up by mine owners, who believed it would benefit them and these sent to the management of the road estimates of freight tonnage they can furnish and it is understood they were given a favorable reply.
 In the mountains that are between the Sonora and Atoctezuma rivers there are many mines that have thus far looked upon Cumpas as a base of supply. alth1ugh it wonld be easier to reach the Sonora river side. Among these may be mentioned the Transvaal. Archipelago. Washington, Belen and a dozen others. All of these would welcome the arrival of a rail road at the base Of the mountains below their property. The Transvaal, which has smelting plant at Cumpas. would, it is said. abandon this and make headquarters near the new rail road
 It is claimed that the freight rates from the nearest railroad station to New York on matte, for the conven- fence of these properties, is s20 per ton and that the new road would have haul of only a little over I50 miles to Guaymas and tidewater where an ocean freight rate of s5 to Si0, sc- cording to the quantities shipped. would be Obtainable and when the Panama canal is opened this ocean competition is a matter that will have to be seriously considered by the rail roads.
