More than a month ago the Review noted that a party of prospectors from Colorado Springs, Colorado, had en tered Sonora at Naco, and were going down through the mining regions of the state, looking for mining prop erties. Recently the editor of the Oasis met some of the party at La Contentracion, down the Yaqui river, east from Ortiz, and learned some particulars of its personnel and intentions. The party is as follows: Colonel Lew Ginger, president; H. F. Terry, manager; Frank Weimer and E. G. Poster, experts; J. W. Hubbard, J.N. Cleaver, Williams, James H. Brent, S. W. Smith, miners. Mr. Brent joined the party at Hermosillo and is giving the members the benefit of his own extensive knowledge of the mining regions of Sonora, acquired by a twenty years’experience in the state. The party is finely outfitted for pros pecting, having a fully appointed camp equipage, a large train of pack mules, portable assay furnaces, scales, balances, chemicals, etc.—everything requisite to making most complete and thorough tests of ores; and two are accomplished metallurgists and mining engineers, while all are gen tlemen of long practical experience in mining. They are rockle for good mining properties, with an intention of working them thoroughly and exten sively when found, as they represent heavy capital, which can successfully conduct operations. At present they are investigating some placer ground on the Yaqui river, near Cumaripa, in the Guaymas district, and are also testing copper deposits in the vicinity. Those of the party met by Oasis man, Messrs. Terry, Weimer and Brent, were en route to San Xavier, near La Barranca, to investigate the ‘‘antigua” mines formerly worked at tmpplace.
