| Valua ble producing mine Sltuat-
 ed near San Xavier. Sonora,
 Mexico, accompanied by Mir. A. A Leach, arrived from the
 mines last Wednesday morning,
 after a long hike across country
 on horseback. The trouble in
 Sonora has put Manager Laugh lin out of business for the pres
 ent, owning to the fact that he
 was unable to get supplies in by
 the railroad which iS out of com mission. However, it is his in tentiOn to at the earliest possible moment get consignment of supplies south over the Sonora railroad as fa- as possible and then haul by freight teams to San Xavier. Several carloads are tied up at this point.
 The installation of the mill and other machinery at the Penn Sonora Mining Company's Du- raZno gold camp in the once famous PlanchaS de Plata dis trict a short distance west from Nogales on the Mexican side of the international line, continues
 under the personal supervision of H. M. Clagett, of Roy & Tit comb, Inc, which big local firm is financing the company. E. l.. Griswold of this city, who has for several years been interested in getting the capital to take hold of his company's splendid properties, is now at, camp looking after the mer- cantile end of things. The old Durazno has a good record as a producer under old methods, and those interested in the pro- position are sure of realizing big returns on their veStment, with modern machinery handled by experienced men.
 Next week the Float Gold Amalgamating Company, of which Nicholas Kunny is secre- tary and manager, will receive a core drill with which to pros pect their splendid gold d-Silver properties situated north of No gales a few miles. The drill will be operated by Secretary Kunny's brother, an experienced drill man, of Los Angeles. It is the intention to prospect the claims to a great depth and Mir. Kunny says when he and his brother get through, the Float Gold Amalgamating Company will know more about their prop erty than anybody else. In prospecting last week, Mir. Kun ny discovered what he believes is valuable deposit of ore on a claim he has since located. At a depth of eight feet, four feet of good looking ore has been exposed. If it goes down, Nick says he has a bonanza.
 Max Muller, manager of the Banco de Sonora, with head quarters at HermoSillO, who last Saturday night was permitted to cross the international line, after State Senate Carlos Plank in the name of Governor Pes queira, received twenty thous- and dollars in Mexican currency, accompanied by his wife and Manager L. Brauer and family went to Tucson Tuesday even ing, thence to Los Angeles. Manager Muller upon his arrival on this side of the international line was met by half hundred friends, with whom he had de- lightful hours visit before re- tiring at the Montezuma hotel. Mir. Muller looked the picture of health and was in fine spirits. He said he did not bear the SO- nora government any malice for sending him to Nogales c. o. D. He was mighty glad to be here. I gave the governor my word that I would pay the price. l paid the money and have his re ceipt; everybody should be hap py." Herman Wendler, of Doug las, who received the c. O. D. package, has returned home ac- companied by his wife.
