silver mine has been discovered on the
public lands, near Fort FWmore, New
Mexico, A despatch 10 Washington City,
from an officer of the Army stationed IN

THE main or chief vein is said to be
over five inches in width at the surface,
aud is exposed from tho summit Of a
mountain fifteen hundred feet high To its
base. over a thousand yards in length
The eastern slnpe only has been explor
