MINING MACHINERY
SHIPPED TO MEXICO
FOR VARIOUS FIELDS
Many Companies Are Now
Installing New Equip
ment.

Mazatlnn, Mex, April 7.-Consider-
able heavy mining machinery is enter
ing this port for the mines throughout
the state of Sinaloa where the ipdi-
vidual owners and companies are in
stalling new equipment.
The Noche Buena mine, formerly
owned by Charles Medbury. has been
taken over by the Potrero Mining Co.
and a. new 2J-ton mill is ...g in
stalled for treating the silver sulphide
ores. This property, together with
others owned by the Potrerv Compan,
is situated in the Mocorito district of
this state.
l.. Shattuck. of Bisbee, Ariz., is
opening ~ some good copper mines in
the San Lorenzo district of Sinaloa.
The main shaft is down to depth or
nearly 200 feet where the vein has
widcncd to approximately 80 feet car
rying a high percentage of copper. 1t
is expected that machinery will soon
be installed on this property for han
ding the output.
Other properties in the San Lorenzo
district are being developed by L. j.
Wallace. He is sinking a shaft on
strong vein carrying gold and silver,
Mr.. Wallace may shortly install mill
for treating the ores on the ground.
With proper development work it is
believed the daily output will be suffi-
cient to keep mill of large capacity
busy.
A Cotton stamp mill and cyanide
plant is being installed at the Calera
mine in the Tamazula district in the
state of Durango near the Sinaloa
border. This company is owned and
operated by English capital.
