THE SHELTER
Blows In and Works Like a
Charm.

The Black Knife smelter blew in last
Wednesday evening, and the results
are such as to cause general rejoicing
throughout The range For some time
past general attention has been turned
to this institution, and its operation has
been awaited with no little degree of
interest, for upon its success depends
greatly u hopes of attracting atten-
ton Is a bullion producing country,
and it is with a great deal of satisfac-
ton that w chronicle its success, for
success seems certainly assured beyond
a doubt. In company with Col. Mutton.
the manager, we visited the smelter
yesterday, which was running on Black
Knife ore, and we found every feature
Of the institution. from ore crusher to
Stag kettle, working like a charm. The
general opinion expressed vas that
the machinery could not have been ar
ranged to better advantage or run
smoother, and flom its harmonious
working and the conduct of the efficient
corps of workmen which the Colonel
has been fortunate to obtain, the most
critical observer would hardly have
supposed this to be the first run. Mr..
Frank NJ. Drake. the metallurgist who
has charge, came highly recommended
and he has received the hearty cooper
alton of Col. Mutton in everything, and
these happy results seem to justify us
in stating that confidence in him has
not been misplaced. Mr.. Charles Hin
ton, of Denver, has charge of the en-
CINE. Mr.. Hinton is an engineer of
long and varied experience, and the
close attention which he gives his bnsl-
ness, the excellent manner which the
machinery runs, and his unfailing in
terest in the success Of the institution,
prove him to be the right man in the
right place.
And now that the smelter is i n
successful operation, it should re-
celve the hearty cooperation of every
one. There is no reason why it should
not be made a great benefit to this Sec
ton of the country. A smelter at work
and a large number of fine looking
claims speak much for a country; but
a bullion output talks louder, and the
larger the output the louder the talk.
Col. Mutton is ready to pay the assay
value of ores or duplicate the highest
price to be. obtained for them, cash IN
hand, and if the owners of claims hav-
ing ore on the dumps will sell, it will
not DULY furnish means for the further
development of idle claims, but assist
in attracting the attention we need.
Asto the Black Knife mine itself, the
only question is whether the grade
of the ore is high enough to pay
but doubts as to this are not entertained
That the ore body is sufficient to keep
the smelter in operatiOn'i is a conceded
fact, and should there be no ore fur.
nished from other sources arrange.
ments will be made to run constantly
on Black Knife ore.

A Daily Mail.

We need it, and should have it at
once, Our neighbor, Kingston, enjoys
the luxury, without any nor claim to
the privilege than our community. Here
is Chloride, Fairview, Grafton and Rob-
inson making the center Of a population
of more than 1000 souls, and all in
range of an easy days drive from the
railroad station at Engle. The mail
service of the United States never has
been regarded as n of the depart
ments for creating a revenue for the
government, but run for the conven-
fence of the public. Until ~quiterecent-
ly it never had been self-supporting.
Now 1t creates a surplus revenue, and
congress is now discussing the queS-
ton of a reduction of postage. Better
irstsupply all communities that are Of
any significance with a daily line; this
will be the most successful method of
disposing of surplus revenues. The
South Western Stage Company which
runs between here and Engle on an
every other day trip, is willing to put on
Il daily line, even though the passenger
travel should not warrant, if the gov
eminent would order the extra COM
pensation. Our citizens should take
hold of the matter at once and petition
for a daily route. Each week, our
community Gas there is NO Sunday
maiD must wait from Saturday morn
ing to Tuesday morning to transmit let
ters to the east, or elsewhere. Our in
terests in this part of the Black Range
are too important to be neglected in
this way, and there is no doubt but that
a straightforward statement of our
situation would result in an order from
the department for a daily mail.

The Camp.


The opening of spring should create
new activity in u camp. 1t will, I'M
q~uestionably. Take the entire Black
Range of New Mexico, and we have the
finest mining fields on the globe. The
mines of Old Mexico are but an x
tension of these fields here in southern
New Mexico. There they have been
worked for over two hundred years;
here they are simply opening up as
prospects. This being true there is no
better field any where than in this
range for the investment of capital.
Chloride is the substantial centre of
this belt, and u prospects here are as
inviting as in any part of the range.
Had it not been for the Indian troubles
two years ago, this camp would to-day
be producing bullion from local reduc-
ton works, and where we now have
simple prospects we would have well
developed mines. When this section
was first discovered a little over two
years ago, it Was infested with the In
dians, and the hardihood of the man
who made the first explorations led to
no little excitement in the east, which
was followed by the opening steps for a
boom. The killing of a few prospec-
tors by the Indians drove the remain
der from the hills for a time, capital
retired, and our camp. like others in
the Black Range. is as yet quiet. 1t
is to be hoped we will not be sub
jected to the scourge of a mining
boom. 1t means extravaganza prices
for prospects; it means bilking timer
ant spectators; it means the roping of
tenderfeet with worthless property it
means bunko men, and a hundred
other ills that for awhile look like
BUSINESS, but surely reacts. and leaves
a camp with broken confidence of capt.
tai, and hundreds Of disappointed
men who have built up their hopes
very unwisely. What we want is solid
growth, and our camp has the solid
hills of metal that can maintain it,
We want sober minded, practical men
independent of penniless job-put'
ting-up middle men, to come in
here themselves, or by their accredit-
ed agents, and examine the sit!
uation for themselves. If our camp
has not the mint to warrant invest
ment, we do not want a dollar of their
money, And when they come, we
want the holders of prospects to meet
them with good sense, and not to under
take to sell prospects at mining prices

derfeet in their craze for sudden for.
tunes without any discretion bought
holes all over Colorado, and paid fab
ulous prices. Middle men, too lazy to
work, put up schemes on rredulous
friends and bllked them into purchases
and stock schemes until public conf
dence has been largely destroyed, and
capital is tardy about putting its money
in prospects called mines. The fabu-
lous prices paid for prospect holes in
the palmy days of Leadville has stimu-
lated too many prospectors with the
hope that as soon as they have dis
covered a ledge that their fortune is
achieved. Many of them travelled the
country over. and staked claims ON pos
sible and impossible mineral-have tied
up whole tracts from the honest
endeayor of other prospectors, and
were content to dig a ten, twenty or
thirty foot hole, go home and make up
the price of a mine on it, and then sit
down TO await the arrival Of some one
who will pay their price for it. In this
way development is retarded, our
camp lies dormant, and no sales are
made. Those in our camp who have
the means should push the work on
their claims. and not act as if they
thought the bottom would be knock
ed out by pushing forward the
work. If they do not want to do
that let them fix prices on their
property that will warrant capital
in taking a chance on the bottom be-
ing knocked out,and we will soon be able
to interest the parties that will push
the work of testing the true character
of u veins. What would be a still
better plan, is for the holders of pro-
perty who are unable to do the work
to give an interest for development
work. This would show faith on the
part of property holders, inspire men
of means with confidence, and in the
end, from the development work, the
prospector would realize more from an
interest than he yer win from setting
down in the vain expectation of realiz-
ing heavily from a few days assess
ment work. We have no fear of the
bottom or top of our mines. We want
to enlist the services, attention and co.
operation of capital, and it would not
be long until results would show this
to be one of the richest mining regions
of the west, ~. Ut.Estf
