fourishing condition than at pres
ent. All the boys in camp are at
work, and scarcely a day passes
without some important strike be-
ing made. The successful working
OF our district laws is the subject of
general comment. The rule re
quiring $50 worth of labor per-
formed within 30 days from date Of
location, in addition to the regular
annual assessment, being heartily
complied with /; the result of
which is that over % new shafts
have been sunk. In nearly every
case ore has been found, and the
value of the claims increased ac-
cordingly.
Messrs. Hobbs and Cook, of Al
buquerque, paid us a visit last
week for the purpose Of securing
ore for the smelter at hat city, and
made arrangements with the Ten
dcrfoot" boys to, as soon as posi-
Bile, ship 10. ZOO pounds of their
best ore, which they believe will
run from 800 to 5000 per ton.
Mssrs. II. Il G. expressed them
selves highly pleased with our
showing.
The boys are steady at work on
the "Tenderfoot,' and say they
will wait no longer for a smeltcr,
but will ship their ore, winch will
pay for developing the mine. On
Saturday afternoon a shot in the
bottom of the shaft threw out sew
eral hundred pounds of galena and
black sulphurets, which cclipses
everything that has yet been found
in this brilliant prospect. We
were shown some of the beautiful
ore to-day and will send you a
specimen at the first opportunity.
Two shifts are being ran on the
Wild Goose" and the boys OK
pect to have the 100 foot tunnel,
which they contracted to run for Il
one-half interest, completed by the
31st Of May. They are now IS
feet under cover and are taking out
some fine galena ore.
The contract, of fifty feet, ON the
Legal Tender" will be finished
by the end of next month, when
the contractors will own a one-half
interest for sinking the same.
Another large body of carbonates
of Copper and galena was discov-
cred in the south shaft of this claim
last week and the owners are much
elated in consequence.
Work is being pushed on the
Tip Top; the 60 foot, for one half
interest, will be completed by the
18th of May according to agree
ment = the boys say eff it takes the
hair off" This is the south extern
sion of the Tenderfoot.
The Anchor is being sunk with
most encouraging success, the pay
streak widening every foot.
The Deadwood and Red Cloud,
two Of the best prospects in camp,
are slumbering soundlyin the arms
OF Morpheus, and we believe the
Gallinas Mining Il Smelling Co.,
must be emulatng the example.
The Little Daisy is now down %
feet in q body of black spar. One
of the owners of this claim brought
to camp, the other day, some of
the finest specimens of peacock
iron we have seen here, from his
Alton lode.
Mr.. John Woodland arrived
yesterday from White Oaks, and
will commence to sink, at once, on
his Sinclair lode.
One shift is being worked on the
Sunbeam. Three shafts, 10 feet
each, have been sunk on this lode,
and now a tunnel is being driven
10 cut the vein at a depth Of 100
feet. The vein matter consists
chiefly Of carbonates of copper and
sulphate Of lead.
