 American Mines Safe.
 careful survey made by a promi- nent mining man in Fl Paso in the interests of big New York mining people who are operating a number of large properties in Mexico, shows that the insurrectos in the disturbed political zone in the northern portion of Mexico have not yet seriously in- terfered with any of the mines or their operations Of course, most of the camps have been visited by gangs of armed men. who after having en- deavored to impress the managers at these camps with their importance, on being told that the property was owned by American corporations have usually withdrawn without molesting anyone.
 Two weeks ago rebels opened fire on the properties of the Fl Rayo company, near Santa Barbara, Chi huahua. After several hours. man ager James $. Goliath requested George Hutchins to interview the leader. Mir. Hutchins told the chief that the town was American prop erty. and it was expected that as such their rights were to be respected The chief then told one of his men to bring forward the mail bags and gun which had been stolen from the company's mail carrier and these wers given to MT. Hutchins with apolo- gies.
 The rebels hung around several hours, and another interview was had with them, and the subject of American property was again dis cussed. The rebel leader finally de- cided to call off all demands for the town, saying that it was not his de- sire to injure foreign property nor persons and the reason he and his men had stayed for so long was be cause they doubted that Los AzuIes was foreign property. With pro- fuse apologies and many waving salutes from their big sombreros the rebels rode off up over the mountains and into the Providencia valley. The rebels were well armed with Win chester A rifles and each had sev- eral belts full of ammunition. Their mounts were excellent.
 Two weeks ago an order was sent out to most of the properties operat- ed by the American Smelling and Refining Co. located in the fighting zone to withdraw all the women and children from the camps to places of | safety. Recently on one of their raids the insurrectos took the horses | and mules from the copper and lead plants of the American Shelters Securities Co at VeIardena | and $1.5OO in cash, giving promissorv notes in exchange. Three rails on | the Nocazari railroad. which extends 70 miles from the Montezuma mines l in Sonora, of Phelps. Dodge X Co to the reduction works at Douglas | Ariz, were torn up recently. and one train delayed several hours in order not to interrupt battle. but there nas been no property destruction or iesertion to either side, except in the | instance of men out of employment
 Phelps, Dodge built and own the Nocazari line. but naturally find if | difficult to evade d government re- Iuest to transport troops One bridge which was blown up was quickly replaced and as there are consider ible stocks on hand at Douglas a 'urtailment in copper output would De the result of only prolonged itoppage of the railroad.
 The Lucky Tigre Co. recently was compelled to shut down after d visit 1y a troop of insurrectos. as the 21O heNicans who were working in this property were compelled to join tho evolution somewhat against their Will. None of the equipment at the property was molested in any fash on

 Among those visiting the vanadium discovery between Kelvin and Troy -he past few days was George Tru- nan. MT. Truman is not a mining engineer but his judgment on Arizona mines and mining prospects is con- 'idered good and always conservative.
