The TecolOte Copper Co, is arrang

al is property. located about 30 miles
west OF Carlo. Plans have already
been drawn and preliminary work
commenced The plant Will cost
$500 coo. Ricketts, and Banks OF New
York are the consulting engineers.
The company has been operating
steadily for number of years under
the guidance OF w. p. Duvall. presi

OF work, including 600 foot shaft II
has developed ore OF an average OF
$50 a ton. There are at present
about $4,000 tons on the dump which
win average 4 per cent copper. Over
s175000 has been spent in develop
ment The ore body is estimated 10
contain between 100000 and 1000
600 tons. The vein has been explo~-
ed for 4.300 feet 10 depth OF 800 feet
.Crosscuts on various levels show the
ore to be of commercial value. About
l2j men are being worked and this
number will soon be increased. Some
time ago the company was planning
10 install q concentration. Recently
a IA ton auto truck has been placed
in use. hauling supplies from the
railroad.
High grade copper ore was recent
~ got in a crosscut at $50 feet in the
Creston de Cohre mine, about 80
miles west OF Hermosillo. The cross
cut has penetrated 30 feet Of the ore
and the face is still full. 1t is be-
Iieved that the find on the $50 is in
reality a portion of the ore body en-
countered on the $50 some time ago.
The shaft is to be sunk to the 400
AT once and a drift run TO Crosscut
the ore at that depth.
Del Pillar mine OF the Arnold Min
ing company near Santa Cruz. is
showing up well. o. \. Koppes,
manager. says the ore body on the
400 has been proven % feet in
length so far. Raises have been made
in ore TO height Of u feet where
they are still in ore.
A 80 ton plant for treatment Of
their ores is soon 10 be installed at
the property OF the Penn-Sonora. near
Encina on the s. p Of Mexico. ii
