VERA CRUZ LABOR
TROUBLES RESULT
IN DRASTIC STEP
American Line Will Send
no More Freight Boats
Into Hmbor.

Vera Cruz, Mexico, April 1.-THE
decision of the Ward line of steamers
to bring no more freight from New
York to this port but to deliver all
Mexican freight at Tampico. strikes
the business of this city another hard
blow and will. materially reduce the
earnings of the railroads which con-
meet with the national capital.
The steamship company has been
forced to adopt this ruling on account
of the labor troubles which are con-
stantly recurring here and which cost
the company large sums by the delays
of their boats in the harbor while
awaiting the solution Of unreasonable
strikes among the longshoremen and
others on whom the steame. compa-
MES rely for the discharge and load
ing of their vessels.
Vera Cruz has long been known as
the center of the most labor troubles
in Mexico. and the unreasoning ignor-
ance of the leaders of that element
has brought one disaster after another
upon the business of the port until il
is now in a serious. critical condition.
The demands of the striking labor
ers have from time to time been met
by the companies involved, but no
sooner has one strike been. settled
than another has been initiated. main
~ without even the semblance of rea.
son.
The Ward line has been seriously
hnmpered under these conditions until
at last the situation has grown in
tolerable. the company taking the def.
mite action above noted.
Besides the inconvenience to the To-
cal business world, this will take
thousands of dollars monthly from the
laboring element which has persisted
in its Bolsheviki course of action. in
spite of the warnings which the COM
pany has given from time to time
that this could be teh only result.

Social News Mexico Told by Special Correspondent
MINING ACTIVITY
INCREASES IN THE
DURANGO SECTION
Gold, Silver and Copper
Ores Found in Pay
ing Quantities.

Durango. Mexico, April 7.-Dr. A.
B. McKissick has located two mining
claims under the name of Alice, sit
uated in the San Diego district of
Pueblo Nuevo, where some good
samples of silver, gold and copper
ores have been encountered. The sur
vey will embrace some old workings
which were dug a number of years
ago. These are to be clesned out and
more fully developed by the new own
er.
4. L. MeCaughan has taken over
the Socorro No. mine which ad-
joins the original FL Socorro, a silver
lead proposition in the Nombre de
Dlos region. Near these properties
are the old Vacas mines, once famous
Tor their enorm0Hs production of high
grade ores when operated by Amer
leans. The district has been prac-
tically abandoned for some time past
but is again showing signs of activity.
La Magdalena, group of three
claims in the Ahuacatan mountains
near the city of Durango, is being
opened up by Manuel Toulet and as
sociates. The ores are of gold, silver,
and lead and occur in a well defined
vein running through the lime forma.
ton.
The San Jose de Guadalupe is a
promising group of gold-silver mines
in the Carboneras mountains of the
Victoria district, opened up by Atan-
asio Ortiz and associates of Durango
City. The first work is to be done
on what is known as the Ell Salto
vein which traverses the entire prop
erty.
Santiago Rino, we'll known Italian
mining man of Tamazula, has 'discov-
cred rich mineral bearing vein in
the Cuesta mountains of the. Acatitan
region. Assays from the surface ores
show good values in silver and lead.
A perpendicular shaft is to be sunk
to a sufficient depth to determine the
true worth of the property which has
been recorded as La Luz.

AMERICAN MINERS
ARE ACTIVE In THE
HERMOSILLO SECTION
Locate Claims in Soyopa
Camp in Ures
District.

Hermosillo, Mex, April 7.-Marcos
Marks, American mining man of this
city, has located a number of mining
claims in the Scyopa mining camp OF
the Ures district. The property con-
sists of twenty adjoining claims to
be patenteN under the name of Julia
1t is traversed by a strong fissure
vein carrying high values in copper
and silver. The Soyopa camp which is
beginning to show signs of renewed
activity is located in the Santa Ana
range of mountains near the Yaqui
river.
Las Tres Personals mines. situated
in the Ures district, are to be opened
up by Jesus Quijada who has but re-
Gently acquired possession of them.
The group comprises eight contiguous
claims with veings carrying gold, sill
yer and copper.
Neil A. McGill, of Phoenix, Ariz.,
has taken over the June mine in con-
nection with his other holdings in the
municipality of Suaqui Grande. He is
developing vein of copper. silver
and lead ores of high value. 1t is ex-
pected that shipments will soon be
made from this property.
The Monte Cristo, promising gold
proposition situated in the Bonancita
camp, near Hermosillo. has been 10.
Gated by Apolinar G. Acosta and Gus
tavo Manzo. Good assays have been
obtained from the surface and it is
expected that large ore bodies of n
high grade will be exposed by proper
development.

GOLD, SILVER AND
LEAD PROPERTIES
TO BE DEVELOPED
Increased Mining Activity
in Vicinity Of
- Zacafecas.

Zacatecas, Mexico, April 7.-George
II. Davis, prominent mining man Of
the City of Durango, is reported to be
preparing to develop the Gallega mine
which is situated in the Noria camp of
the Sombrerete district of the State of
Zacatecas.
The Gallega group is in the vicinity
Of La Soledad, La Purisima and other
good mines. The ores are of high
grade, assaying well in gold, silver and
lead. Considerable ore is now be-
ing shipped from the Sombrerete and
Chalchihuites camps where a number
of American mining men and com
panies are operating.
Alfredo Torres and Miguel Fer
nandez have taken up three adjoin-
ing claims in the San Miguel del Mez-
quital camp, which have been recorded
as La International, near La Scledad
mine, and also La Union group near
by. Both of these properties en-
brace veins carrying gold, silver and
lead.
Engineer r. X. Foster is shipping
n large amount of ore from this camp
to the Asarco smelter.
La Potosina mine, comprising
eleven adjoining claims, located in
the Pinos mining district of the State
of Zacatecas, has been acquired by
Engineer Carlos Almazan, who is
taking out some fairly good GOLDFISH
yer ores.
Extensive exploration work is being
planned in order TO open up additional
bodies of ore which are believed TO ex-
list in this mine.
Manuel Precisdo, who recently took
up the Mexico mine in the Pinos camp
is said TO have encountered some very
desirable ore in several different
places, y

claims in the same range of noun
tains, and the San Bartolo in the
Rincon de Alamos mountains. The
ores in all these properties carry gold,
silver and lead, and in some places
considerable zinc and quicksilver is
encountered.
Urique.
Domingo Paroles has acquired pos
session and is preparing TO operate
both the San Andres and La Fortuna
mines south of the Buenavista mosA1
tains. The first work will be COM
menced on an old shaft known as the
Minas Nuevas workings where good
showings are to be, found and it is be-
lieved that with a slight amount of
development work shipments of ore
can be made at fair profit.
ParraI.
Marcos Martinez, of this camp, has
taken over the Ampliaciop de la veta
Colorado No. = mine and is preparing
to have the old workings cleaned out
and sunk to a greater depth. The
ores are similar TO those of the sur
rounding mines such as the Guada-
lupe, San Felipa and Ampliacion de
Aida.
Juarez.
The mining sections south of this
city continue active and new locations
are being surveyed. Leonardo Tor
rilla has recently recorded with the
local mining agent in Juarez the AM
pliacion de Lucero, situated in the

PURCHASE OF OLD RAILROAD
WILL INSURE OPENING UP OF
FERTILE SECTIONS OF MEXICO
New Owners Will Extend Line and Save Time and
Distance in Route to Guatemalan Frontier-Deal
Heralded as One of Much Importance.

Puebla, Mexico, April 1T is stat
ed here on good authority that ar
rangements for the purchase of the
Mexican Southern railway by the
Mexican railway, an English-owned
concern, and the Oldest railroad in
Mexico, are practically completed, and
the transfer of the property will be
made in the near future.
The Southern road connects this
city with Oaxaca, capital of the state
of tile same name, and is 22S miles
long, besides about 60 miles of branch
lines radiating from the Oaxaca ter
minus.
The deal is of much importance on
account of two features, zone depend
ent on the other, as it is considered
certain that the taking over of the
Southern by the Mexican insures the
building of the direct line from OAK
AGA to Tehuantepec, thereby cutting
off several hundred miles from the
route which is now necessary to be
followed by travellers from the port
of Salina Cruz and the Guatemalan
frontier.
Several surveys have been made for
this extension of the line and it is
not known which one has been de-
cided on, but those who are familiar
with the topography of the country
traversed believe that the route via
Taviche will be built, as the other
routes involve difficulties a the
grades being concentrated into GER
tain zones, while by the Taviche route
the grade is more generally uniform
and offers less construction difficult
ties.
Opens Up Fertile Country.
The building Of this road will open
UP one of the most fertile sections
Of Mexico and the state of Oaxaea,
from an agricultural view, and will

Pachucha, Mex, April 9.-Follow-
ing on the heels of the colossal min
ing deal consummated here two weeks
ago, wherein the United States Smelt-
ing. Refining and Mining Company
through its subsidiary the Real del
Monte & Pachucha Company. bought
the holdings of the Loodlow BBthers
for S6,000,000, comes deal of still
greater moment and ultimately involv-
ing much more money.
In this new deal. the articles of
which were signed about a week ago,
the Santa Gertrudis- Company enters
into a partne- ship contract with the
Dave Brothers for tie taking over and
development of 440 pertenencias of
mining property at Ell Chico. about
twelve kilometers from this city, and
adjoining the lands recently purchased
by the Real del Monte.
, The Dave Brothers, though English
men, were born at Pachuca and their
family has been for many years large
holders Of mining property in that
district. They have sold the larger
part Of the mining claims now being
worked there and the family fortune,
which is reputed to be immense, was
founded and has grown on the results
of these sales, most Of which have been
for cash. .4f

LARGE SHIPMENTS OF ORE ARE
SENT TO CHIHUAHUA SHELTER;
MANY HOLDINGS CHANGEHA
Unusually Large Number of Mining Properties
Filed on in Various Sections of the Southern
Republc-Very Few Idle Miners in
Any of the Mexican Camps.

Chihuahua, Mexico, April IAN
unusual large number of mining prop
critics have been taken up or changed
hands in the various regions of this
state during the last few weeks.
Shipments of ore to the Chihuahua
smelter continue to increase and at
the present time there are but few
idle miners in any of the camps,
At the chihuahua City agency two
filings have been recorded. One by
Federico Saens, who has located eight
claims in the Nombre de Dios noun
tains and recorded them under the
name of the Cruz group. The vein
carries metal values in gold, silver,
lead, copper and zinc. This property
is located near the old Herrera mine.
Juan Porras and Federico Navarro
have discovered promising silver
lead vein near the Gabino Barreda
and La Abundancia mines in the fam
Gus Santa Eulalia district near Chi
huahua City. They have recorded
their filing under the name of the
Alcazar and will shortly begin deyel-
opment work.
Chinipas.
John l.. Hoban, operating in the
Chinipas region, has taken over the
old Dulces Nombres mines which he is
preparing to develop extensively in
order to more fully open up a promis-
ing vein carrying high values in both
gold and silver. In this vicinity Al
bert Nalderrain is beginning opera
tons on the Marco Misunderstanding
the Santa Rita, Santa Barbafita, AL
berto, San 1gnacio and Santo Nino
mines. All of these properties carry
more or less values in gold and silver.
OcampO.
Enrique Duran has acquired the
Celaya mine in this district and is
sinking a shaft on the main vein where
gold and silver is being encountered
in paying quantities. s. ]. Clausen is
going to develop the Calendaria mine
by sinking shaft on the main vein.
This property was formerly known as
the Nueva Australia but was recently
refiled on and the name changed. The
principal ore values are of gold and
silver with some lead. Mr.. Clausen has
also recently filed on a new group Of
four claims in the Descubridora noun
tains of this same region which Is
recorded as the Cumbre de Ia Des-
cubridora. The survey embraces a
strong vein of high grade silver ore.
CamargO.
A number of new filings have been
made in this district by Teofilo Car
rasco. Vicente Anaya and Jesus
Campo. They have taken up the San

quickening the water communication
At present all expectation from OAK
AGA must be via this city to Vera
Cruz.
Another important feature Of this
proposed construction will be an
other link in the Pan-American rail
way line, which, it is hoped, will
some day connect the soutLernmost
point of South America with the Arc
tic Circle. A connection of this line
exists now from the city to the Guat-
emala line, but it involves a detour
by way of Vera Cruz, which adds
nearly SO hours to the necessary time.
With the construction of this pro-
posed connection from the Southern
to Tehuantepec, the route from this
city to the Guatemala border is al
most an airline and a passenger en-
barking from Guatemala City from
New York by rail could pursue his
journey without a single detour or
interruption of the rails, except at
the Guatemalan frontier, where the
international bridge is not yet fin
ished.
From points in central Canada the
line is a surprisingly direct one. This
portion of the route Of the Pan-Amer-
lean system is the longest continuous
rail line in the world. except that
cross Europe and Russia. both being
made up of a series of different roads
which have connections.
An Eleven-day Trip.
At present it is possible to make
the trip from New York to Guate-
mala City. via st. Louis, San Antonio
and Laredo, in eleven days, by the
selection of a proper starting day. This
selection is necessary as the northern
branch of the Guatemalan roads do
not run to the Mexican frontier every
day.
With the building of the new line,
which it is believed the taking over
of the Southern railway insures. this
time will be reduced to nine and one
half days. Beside this a number of
mining and other industries. now i'm
possible TO exploit, will spring into
existence.

other means which will involve the ex-
penditure of approximately $S,O0O,O0O.
All expenditures will be Mt the ex-
pense of the Santa Gertrudis element
of the new company.
One item of the new work. an aerial

The immensely of the Dave deal can
be appreciated when it is realized that
the Real del Monte people paid their
S6.000.000 for % pertenencias.. or 30
acres, while the lands acquired by the
new combination from the Dawes have
an area of nearly 100 acres.
The mineral worth Of the two tracts,

same. However, the Santa Gertrudis
people are given to big deals and have
been especially active during the past
few months, during which they have

ton of the famous Taviche district.

advised, at an expense of over $780,

Will Spend More.
This is but a fraction of what they
evidently expect to spend there, as the
holdings which they are now negotiat-
ing for in that camp will run into sew
eral millions, beside the amounts they
are expending in development. Also,
this company is carrying on extensive
operations at Fresnillo, in the state
of Zacatecas, where they are milling,
at the rate of $500 tons per day, the
lowest grade silver ore which is being
worked in Mexico. il not in all Ameri-
ca, as authoritative information aver
ages but $50 grams of silver per ton.
This same company has taken over
a part of the famous old Comstock
lode, in the state of Nevada, and en-
couraged by their success at Fres-
Milo they will attempt to work the low
grade ores left in that mine.

nouncemest has been made here that
within the next five months will be
finished the repair work on the road
that unites Linares and Galeana. both
of them in the state of Nuevo Leon.
This road is an important one and
also is considered one of the most
picturesque in Nuevo Leon. The high
way runs on top of the Sierra Ma

with the fixing of those spots it will
be good for automobile traffic.
