company one that has come rapidly Into prominence In the last few months la now making great strides near Guanajuato according to the report of mining engineer Maleolmson -Tlt company Provider la San Juan de la Lux originated with a number of Mexican farmers who had never had any experience In mining und who bought a claim near the station San Felipe 22 miles north of the great' mining city of Guana- Juato from a man who thought he I was them The man sold them a two-thirds Interest In the property for $1400) and laughed about how he had "buncoed" them However they set to work on the claim and have already uncovered an ore shoot 1000 feet long and from one to three feet wide very rich In silver According to Mr Maleolmson their first Ipment of 15 tona to the smelter med them $160000 The stock he says ts selling In Mexico City at from $1500 (o $1600 per share and there are 6000 shares equal to a value of $9000000 The company Is said to have $1000000 the treasury and to be paying large dividends A railroad Is projected to the camp from San Felipe and the Guanajuato Electrla company has already commenced to string wires for the transmission of 500 horsepow-er to the mine said Mr Maleolmson shows how new the mining business really Is In Mexico when a mine of such co) Is discovered right on a railroad and In the heart of a thickly settled and populated There Is much Interest

Interest both to Duluthians and others connected with tlio copper trade from a far wider caus than this It Is Just now realized that Globe I more than a one-mine camp that Its copper measures are deep

Geo Walker says in part of the Helvetia near Tucson: Helvetia's showing astonished me I had been expecting lo see something prct-y good but as I had Just come from Clifton Morenci Globe Ca nation and Bl-bee I couldn't help hlnking that the fresh memory of the great mine of those districts would make Helvetia' look Insignificant bv comparison Now I am convinced that no one of the great mine I have
