abroad and is SAID to be very COM
The framing Of the timbers for the
concentration building is progressing
rapidly. Mr.. Taylor understands his
business.
Major Bremen. with his mill, con-
centrates the ores of his own mines,
near Silver City, at a cost of two dol
lars per ton.
Bailey Gooden. has moved to Chic
ride with his family. He Is en-
ployed in doing carpenter work on the
concentration.
The rates charged for concentrating
ores iE the Cerillos district, neal Santa
Fe, the RANGE is informed, are four
dollars per ton.
HIN. Castle has bought the cord wood
at the Occidental mine for the uses of
his concentration, to be delivered here
at three dollars per cord.
H.. N. Castle has pre-empted the quar-
ter section on which the conceutrator
is located, less the five acres for mill
site, maximum amount allowed by law.
jim Wilson, of Kingston is in town.
He says, as does Pitcher, they can't af-
ford to work the White Signal at eight
dollar rates for concentrating.
l.. t. Yount who came out here from
Kansas with Mr.. Castles household
effects, and who'gained eight pounds on
the trip, and who seemed intent on re-
turning, writes his coming to Chloride
is very doubtful. Sorry, for he is a live
fellow.
The Concentration company, by its
president, announces its schedule of
prices in a communication, In another
column. Now is the time for property
owners to talk and act. The BLACK
RANGE will give anyone space for ali
expression of opinion on the subject.
How about that meeting of mining
property owners to consider the Ques-
ton of roads and development work,
to the end of furnishing an ore supply
for the concentratory Have the meet
ing and also have Mr.. Castle present
for an exchange Of views on prices of
concentration.
From the decomposition of the red
rock above town, beds or deposits of a
fine sand have been made which, when
screened, makes a fine mortar almost
like %cement,and constitutes a real hand
some finish for walls, and a good NOR
tar in which to lay brick. The red for
nation is more Of a sand stone than
anything else.
For true assures, and big ones, and
for large bodies of ore, Apache mining
district with Chloride as its center, the
BLACK RANGE challenges the world
for a competitor. And that isn't all.
The uniform adaptabilitY Of these ores
for successful concentration, with but
nominal waste, the actual test on car
load lots, shows a success without a
parallel.
The concentration of pres is now at
tracing more attentian in Colorado
than any of the other processes. An
establishment has been started in Den
yer which is giving exclusive attention
to building concentrating machinery.
A party interested writes: "If your
ores run as tests signify we know of no
place SO inviting, and the party now
putting up machinery there will find
he has made "a wise Investment of his
money"
The estimated cost, in the western
states, for concentration of ores is from
one to three dollars per ton. depending
on the ore. In the Lake Superior re-
gion six dollar per ton ore is concen-
trated at IA cost of one dollar and
twenty cents per ton, and the concen-
trates shipped 600 miles by water for
smelling. There they run the six dol
lar rock, tlirty-fve to forty tons into
one-making from $21O to $240 con-
centrates.
Before spring opens Chloride will
show new order Of things, and don't
you forget it. The BLACK. RANGE is
exciting considerable comment in the
eastern press. House building will be
the order of the day and a thrifty bust
ness vii. be done here in the way of
real estate, and Chloride in twelve
months time will be- a big town and the
product of a sixty ton c~onCentrator
will be daily hauled to Engle for re-
duction at Socorro, Pueblo, or Denver
smelters.
