Mexican Mines.

A great deal of capital is going into
the railroads and mines of Old Mexico,
but 1T is being done in very quiet
manner and without the aid of adver-
Using. The reopening of some of the
bonanza mines of Old Mexico has
proved such profitable business that
mining men have recently paid great
deal Of attention to that specially.
The famous mines of the Veta Negra
and Pebellon veins in Zacatecas are
now being reopened by American cap
ltal. These mines are spoken of by
Humboldt in his New SPAIN as the
greatest and most productive veins
ever opened in that country. Later
on, Ward, in his history Of Mexico,
speaks Of the different bonanzas taken
out of these veins and calls especial
attention to one of eleven and a half
millions that was taken out in eight
months This property was worked
from 1928 to 1881 by the United Mex
lean Mining Association of London,
and their printed reports show that
during three years they took out 1000
tons Of ore averaging $500 to the ton
which they mined and worked ut a
cost of 5000 per ton. One of the i'm
portant points in regard to Old Mexi-
can mines is the fact that the waste
ore that was thrown aside or left STAN
ding in the mines in olden times, is
now extremely valuable as what cost
in those times over $lO0 a ton to work
can now be reduced at less than SO a
ton. The entire property formerly
worked by the English Company is
now owned by the Sombrerctte and
Pabellon Companies of this city. The
former is almost close corporation
and owned by Clarence King, Profess
sor Agassiz and two or three capital
ists. These gentlemen are so satisfied
of the value of the property that they
own that they are prepared to spend
100000 to reopen the famous old
property. They have been at work
since June with two 16-inch Cornish
pumps, Diamond drills and all modern
machinery that money can command.
The Pebellon Company are now pre-
pairing to commence and are taking
subscriptions for block of their cap
ital stock in order to raise working
fund of $4,000. These subscriptions
will be void unless the entire amount
is raised. Prospectusas and further
particulars can be obtained at the Of
flee of this paper.
