THE REPUBLIC.
The silver Mines Of New Mexico.

Late accounts represent that the silver mines ii
the vicinity of Mesilla are apparently inexhausti
BILE; and that the ore is Of great richness.
The Santa Fe Gazete says that the gentleman
TO whom the following letter was directed has per
mtted the publication of so much as relates to the
extraordinary silver mines in the Organas Noun
tans, in the county Of Dona Ana, some fifty miles
above FL Paso:
"LAs CRucEs, N. NJ, May S, 1883
'sDEAR Sir: / send you, by MIR. DAILY, some
fine specimens of silver ore from the MINES ABOUT
fifteen miles west of this place. They are NUM-
bered one. two. three, in the order OF richness.
No. has not been tried as yet, but think 1t con-
tains god as well as silver No. 2 yields from
four to six marks to the load OF three hundred
pounds. No. 3, from six to eight marks TO the
load mark is eight dollars. The Mexicans
that are working the mines and smelling here have
the rndest sort Of tools and furnaces, and think
lose about twenty per cent of the silver in smelt-
ing and refining. In No. 3 you will find two
small pieces of silver. The mines extend some
forty miles north and south, in range Of noun
tains, and all OF the crops out on the sur
face of the ground, and can be obtained with but
little labor
''The place is improving very fast, as house lots
can be got by application to the project, his fees
being small for recording the same. | am much
pleased with Las Cruces"
1t will perceived, says the Gazette, that the spe
cimen of medium quality, marked No 2, yield,
from $32 to S4S to the cargo, mule load of ore
which weighs three hundred pounds; that is from
ten to sixteen per cent. of pure silver The better
quality of ore gives the remarkable yield of from
SIG to $2l to the one hundred pounds. The Ga
Sette has had information from other sources con-
tirmatory of the statement of Mr.. Read.

removing the causes OF crime and visit

Europe. He bears with linn the names
OF many oi the most distinguished citi-
xens Of this country, among whom we
might name the Hon Daniel Webster,
