Nttf III t4lt NA ltaiAtN or AaltNftN at the Catalina No. shaft. which was recently closed down. has secured an option on a portion of the property of the Cananea- Boston Mining com. pany for twelve months. and has be- gun installation Of a hoisting plant at the Reeves shaft of the company The portion leased is that located near the Catalina No shaft and con- timing 10 the southeastern corner and Is considered the best portion of the property. u contains the innum- erabie lodges plainly traced on the surface. and the Reeves shaft. which has been sunk to a depth of SO feet is in low grade ore but work was suspended by the Canauea Boston people on account of inability to handle the water with the present equipment. This week Kelly and his associates began work installing a boiler and hoist and a new gallop's frame is now being constructed. In about a week two shifts will be placed at work and 1t is expected that in but comparatively short time Kelly will be taking out shipping ore.
 The Cananea-B Boston is concentrat. ing it's work on the shaft on the northwestern portion of the property and the shaft has reached a depth of l60 feet with conditions becoming more favorable with depth.
 San Salvador
 An expert examined the San Sal. vador property. which is located east of Cananea. this week for east ern capitalists The property is To. cated near the Alacran shaft of the Mexican Metals company and during the past few weeks has been showing rp considerable ore of a commercial grade. The shaft on the San Salvador has been sunk to a depth of B feet and will be continued to the 60-foot level, where the ledge will be eX- plored. At g feet dePth a cross-cut has been run to the ledge and eight feet of ore has been cut which aver ages s32 '. s. currency per ton, in gold. silver and lead. At the San Buena Ventura property. which ad- ioins and is owned by the same par ties, the shaft recently begun, is down twelve or fifteen feet and shows 2s inches of ore averaging S10 in the same metals.
 The two Announcements contain twenty pertenencias. Five men are at present employed at the property.
 The owners of the mine are J. ]. Holman of Cananea, Mrs. J. J. Scott and Vim. Gum of Bisbee and Everette Duncan Of san Diego, California.
 Victor
 The Victor Mining and Smelling company, which has been quietly Op- erating small property southwest ot Cauauea. near the Cuitaca ranch, has been carrying on its work almost with cut a pause for the past four years. At present five men are at work and the property is looking very good. The ledge has been cut and consider able copper carbonates have been eX, tracted which average between IF and 13 per cent copper, with little gold and silver.
 A tunnel has been driven about 25O feet and several cross-cuts run to determine the extent Of the ledge, which was found to be from 20 to 30 feet in width. It is cut to depth of so feet A winze was started last week and the ore is now coming in. The w.nze will be sunk 100 feet, at which point drifts will be run
 There are eight or ten tons of ore on the dump which will average be- tween 15 and IS per cent copper.
 A trial shipment was made to the Cananea shelter which netted the company 90 pesos per ton. It was small shipment and the expense of packing it to the smelter was rather high. The copper contents averaged 1875 per cent, with a little gold and silver.
 The company is a close corporation and the principal stockholders reside in Pittsburgh and Columbus. Ohio The property contains 70 pertenencias.
 San Espiritu.
 The San Espiritu mine, located about 30 miles southeast of ImuTis, in the Magdalena district, Is creating considerable interest in the mining fraternity on account of the rich ore it recently encountered. Recently two cars were shipped which brought the owner excellent returns. one of the cars netting him S6,0O0 U s. cur rency, in silver values The property was bonded about two years ago by Al Bernard of Guaymas to New York interests who did considerable devei- opment work, securing excellent re-  suits, as two carloads of ore were shipped to the Fl Paso shelter which averages from 300 to 600 ounces in silver per ton. This ore was removed from points near the surface, and as it occurred in lenses the superintend. ent was rather skeptical as 10 it's per. manency. About this time the panic came on and all work was abandoned. When work was stopped tunnel had been driven to cut the vein at con siderable depth, probably 300 feet below the apex, and /ss within a point 100 feet from the vein.
 The property reverted to the owner. and MT. Bernard resumed operations last summer with Joseph Scott, a practical miner, in charge. The tun- nei was continued to the vein where from two to five feet of shipping ore was encolnteIed- This is the ore which was recently shipped. According to re ports, the ore is holding out in all directions and several hundred feet of work has been done on the ore in sinking. raising and drifting.
 The property has an excellent fu' ture
