The grade OF ore is not as high rs some Of
the other districts, but the immense guam
titles and cheap facilities for working it
are a double Offset to this objection. Wood
water and fine nutritious grasses are in
abundance with a remarkable fine water

these districts can be mined and nilIed
into bullion at a cost not 10 exceed twelve
dollars per ton. The
AZTEC MINING SYNDICATE
have . fine property of twenty odd mines
under the charge Of Col. c. W Tozer. On
the Montezuma mine, situated on the Won
derful Empress Of India lode, they are lay
ing out some very fne ore. The Aztec,
Inca, Rosario, Iturbide and several other
mines we saw present an extensive width
Of ledges and Ia ge bodies Of ore. The
average assays from these mines we are
told is about ninety dollars, while selected
pieces of ore go way up to eight, ten and
fifteen hundred dollars per ton. The
ToLTEC SYNDICATE OF MINES
Lately incorporated in San Francisco, pos
sesses the finest property in these districts.
These parties have had the good fortune
to get hold Of ten of the best mines in the
country, some in the Aztec and some in
the Tyndall District. The promoters of
the Syndicate are Col. John D. Graham of
San Francisco and Mr.. John E. Magee now
superintendent OF the property. These
are the parties who founded and promoted
the Aztec Syndicate SO successfully. The
mines of the Toltec Syndicate are the
