 Three Years

CANANEA, Son. Mex, Oct. B. Revolutionary activities in Northern Sonora. which interrupted train ser vice on all the roads in the state upon several occasions during the month of September, also causing many properties to discontinue work and the larger ones te curtan outputs. are reflected in the Evaporation for the month, especially through the port of Agua Prieta, through which all the ores from the northeastern portion of the state are shipped.
 The September exports were val ued at only STl, 500 pesos, while Aug ust showed 8 total of l.722.16 pesos, the latter month showing a great re, duction from themonth of July, which was oyel- a quarter million pesos more. September, silver exports were 295. 900, while August was 09,350: gold, l1O,9OO with August. 244,70U pesos; September copper amounted to 465, 900, and August, 96S,1 pesos. In bulk, the August exportations amounted to f4,4O6 tons, while Sep tember only totaled 6,4S7 tons.
 Output Cut in Halves.
 70 The output of the Cananea ConsOli- dated Copper coinpany's smelter for the month of September was 7.2J0,O00 pounds of blister copper, while Aug ust surpassed 7.350, 900 pounds. The loss is accounted for in the inter. rupted traiu'sservice and inability to secure as much supplies as desired, although this did not interfere great ly with the operations of the com pany as a whole.
 The new shaft being sunk at the Capote mine Of the Cananea company is being rapidly done and much head way is being made in the future main shaft of this property. The new ore bins have been commenced and the grading done for the spur of the com pany railroad and motor line has about been completed. The ore body at Capote has been showing up great CT than ever and on the 900-foot level the ore is found to continue as rich as on the other levels above, up to the 30O-foot level
 The shaft at tunnel No. 15 at the Cobre Grande, which was started about two months ago. is being rap. idly sunk and will probably be ready for use soon.
 To Work Over Tailings
 The Calumet & Sonora company has decided to work over the tailings which have been accommodating for the past three or four years, as it has been found that they will average S2SO a ton. This decision was arrived at recently by Dr. Walter Harvey Weed of New York City, who is the consulting engineer and manager of the property, and who is at present at the property.
 The rails in the incline shaft have been continued down to the 525-foot level and the skips can now be oper ated to that depth.
 A find of SI6 ore was made in the drift on the SO0-foot level recently. 1 This drift was begun about two months ago and is being driven in a soutneasterIy direction to catch the ore body The strinRA- @-;-s eHcount- ! cred at distance of l25 feet from the shaft. where it was about ) inches in width The extent Of the find has not yet been ascertained.
 A new air compressor has been re- gently ordered and will be installed l upon it's arrival. Other machinery Is also to be added to the present equip i ment
 Rich ore Discovery
 A rich ore discovery has been l made at the Democrata mine recent. ] ly. The find was made on the 5O0-foot ] level ana the extent has not yet been 1 except that il will prove ! to be the largest ore body on the ! It averages per cent in copper.
 The smelter of the company is op- l erating steadily and within the next ] month or two the new portion Of the !! reduction department will be in oper- | ation. Considerable new machinery 1 has been ordered. which is now be- ginning to arrive in the city. When ! all has been received the new shelter 1 will be blown in
 Property Looks Good.
 The Superior Bonanza property, iO- | eated about 6 miles west of Imuris, | in the Magdalena district, and oper l ated by the Cananea company, is looking exceptionally good at pres ent. Considerable work is now being l done, including the running of tun- | Bel 1400 feet. new working shaft l being sunk and exploration work un | der way. The tunnel has been cut | already for a distance of 700, feet | The new working shaft will be sunk l in the foot wall and will go down l to the 500foot level at least and later to go deeper. This will be con nected with the tunnel at a point 20 feet above the 400-foot level The
