The Hillsboro Hydraulic Mining COM
pany has spent $4,000 in improve
ments. and they are now getting things
in such shape that they will soon be
able TO reap the benefit.
Since the new strike in the Solitaire
the mining interest is beginning to re-
viye at and around Percha City. The
Wilson brothers have a small force
asserting the ore and float preparatory
to shipping. and there is being a wagon
road built from the town TO the mine.
The bond OF Messrs. Tabor and Wurtze-
bach has expired and they did not re-

Hadley's Pointers: The Pecos River
Mining company has taken hold of
mining and prosecuted work in a way
that pleases us. No fuss, no feathers,
low capitalization ~(S25O,OOOD, steady
work, prompt payment of bills, and
results. They have between 800 and
400 feet of development on one of their
twelve claims, the Katydid, which is
near Cooper City, eighteen miles from
Glorietta on the Pecos river. Their
latest workings show a compact copper
lead five feet in width, running heavy
in copper, and silver in pay. The Prob
abilities are that the company will soon
build a smelter at their mines. j. E.

LINCOLN County Leader: Yesterday
morning A. Ridgeway, of this place,
who has been doing the assessment
work on the Hannibal, n of the nu-
merous claims on Baxter mountain,
came to town with his pockets crammed
full of rock taken out of the shaft, about
eleven feet from the surface, every
piece Of which was bristling with wires
of yellow gold, The specimens shown
us were fully equal to those from the
South HOmestake and Little Mack
mines, the rock resembling that of the
latter very much. The specimens taken
out were secured just as the lead was
cut, and there is no means of knowing
up to the time of going to press the
width of the vein or the extent of tn,
find, pHt the indications are that it viii
prove equal to anything yet found il
that already famous mountain.
