GRANT COUNTY,

South Of Socorro, and the south
west county Of the Territory, has
more developed property than any
other, and until the past year has
been the one yielding anything
from lode veins. The past twelve
months has witnessed remarkable
progress there. The Georgetown
mines have been steadily worked,
and although the exact figures are
not at hand, 100000 is probably
not an overestimate Of their pro-
duction. The Santa Rita property
has been extensively worked and
many Improvements have been
made. The stamp mill has been
substituted by the Cornish roller
and jig system, eftecting a great
saving Of copper. a double drum
hoist has been erected, and the ca
pacity of the works has been in
breased to 100 tons Of ore per day.
The San Jose Smelling Company is
erecting a smelter three miles from
Santa Rita, and are already buying
considerable quantities Of fine cop,
per ore from the Hanover district
adjoining, which is showing up adj.
mirably in every direction. Al
Silver City, Brcmen's mill has been
in constant operation. The mine
has been stocked, and it is proba
BILE that it will be worked on a moro
extended scale before the close O
this year. Recently six Frue Van
ners have been put in to treat thu
tailings Of which there is a yer,
large accumulation. The Lon,
Mountain district has been steadil,
worked during the year, and par
ties interested there have erected
fine mill at Silver City. a loca

PROGRESS OF MINING INDUSTRY

Looking back over the year Just
closed, we find Il marked progress
in development Of the mining in
dustry Of this Territory. At the
beginning Of the year almost eve
rything that could be said of it
was Of its prosperity in the distant
past, or Of its hope in the future
under the new regime Just inaugu-
rated. The practical questions
were often asked Where is the
product Of the mines, for which so
much is promised = "Why no
output from the large number Of
mines you tell us about y Save
the operations at Georgetown, San
ia Rita, and Silver City, and for a
brief period at Socorro, there was
no real mine production, and but
little practical mining. Smelters
were talked about, and mills, in
several parts Of the Territory
One had been built and was stand
ing idle at Cerrillos !; another the
Duryea, had proved a failure at
Bonanza City A; another had been
built aud was making spasmodic
efforts to obtain ore at Socorro
another novel electric process was
about being tried at White Oaks ;
a small, mill hal been built at the
same place, but had not been sue
cessfuiJy operated. Prospects were
bv thousands located and recorded,
upon some of them two or three
assessments had been worked g: on
much the larger proportion only
one assessment, if any, had been
worked. Mines, in the full sense
Of the word, Were very few and far
between.
To one who has watched the
changes Of the year, there has been
much to encourage and but little to
disappoint. The advance has been
steady /; there have been but few
failures, and where either labor OF
capital has been employed it has
generally yielded gratifying results.
I purpose in the present article
to take the counties consecutively,
and make a brief review Of the pre-
sent situation, as compared with
that one year ago. There is no &C.
cessible record, and necessarily the
observation Of any II person GOV
.ering the whole field must be some
what cursory and imperfect. There
is enough, however, at command
to make good the assertion that
more has been accomplished with.
in the one year than in all the pre-
ceding time since the industry was
newly established. In

Many others have been developing
their properties with satisfactory
results. and it is an cstablishcdfac
that there is abundance of gold,
silver, and copper ores, which will
lay well for mining and Treating.
Some excellent coal deposits have
been opened out and T. coming
into local use for steam and domes-
ticpmposes.

In the northwest, most Of which is
OF the railroad, the chief interests
at the present time r agriculture
and stock raising. There arc large
deposits Of the precious metals al
so. 1t is only because Of the great
or accessibility of other districts,
that it lags in the rear. II is inthe
immediate line Of the eastern min
cral belt which travcrscs Colorado
and New Mexico, and the pros
poets so far located are as promis-
ing as those in other portions of
the Territory.
BLRSALILLO COUNTY,
To the south of Rio Arriba, is com
ing to the front. The Nacimiento
copper mines, have, perhaps, re-
ceived most attention, a company
having been actively at work there
most of the year. In the Sandals,
to the east Of Albuquerque, recent
discoveries are reported, and i'll the
neighborhood Of Jemez Springs
copper and galena deposits have
been located. During the year a
company has been organized at Al
buquerque to erect and operate a
smelter, of which c. /. Hubbs is
manager. He had constructed it
at Bonanza City, but failing to get
ore as expected, it was removed to
Albuquerque. 1t is Pacific Wa
ter Jacket smelter, and in its new
location a special copper furnace
has been added. The close Of the
year found it just about ready to
put in operation, with quitea guam
tity of ore ON hand. The coal
mines along the line Of the Atlantic
& Pacific Road arc being extern
sivcly worked. They cover alargc
area, and although not generally a
coking coal, it is proving an excel
lent fuel.

What difference there is in the ways
of a mans and woman's falling on Ice.
A man will go sprawling all over the

a crab with the shaking palsy for two

raiment covered with dirty snow and
his mind full OF maledietions. But q
woman, bless her! when she falls she
sinks down with courtesy into neat

swiftly away, with seraphie smile on
her face, sunshine in heart, ana not so
much as suggestion of her downfall
