The White Oaks Gollen Era In de
scribing the strike on the Hannibal,
SAYS: "0n last Friday at adepth Uf ten
feet, MI. Ridgway who was working
in the shaft, got through what appears
20 be a pOrphyry Gaping, and struck a
large solid body of fine grained dark
colored quartz, and upon examination
he discovered free or visible gold in
such quantities that he became excited
and forgetting the interest of the own
ers rushed into town to herald the
news and exhibit specimens of the new
lind. The whole camp was soon in a
feverish state of excitement and many
were soon at the shaft, filling their
pockets with the beautiful quartz gilt
tering with wires and speckS of pure
gold"
Las Cruces Republican: Every
moth or two, for some years past, two
Mexicans have crossed San Augustin
pass from the west, and have skirted
tie foot hills to the south and then by
a secret pass again entered the heart
of the range. After staying there a
day or two, they return as quietly as
they went away. OF course the mag
net that draws these Mexicans there
can only be a rich mineral deposit, from
which they monthly obtain wealth
enough to support them IN the inter.
val. They have been Intercepted
from a distance, but refuse to respond,
and always hide when followed. When
at the mouth of the pass, N Mexican
seats himself as a sentinel while the
other penetrates the mysterious laby-
rinth beyond; and if anyone happens
to approach, the sentinel discharges
his rifle as a warning to his friend and
disappears. Efforts have been made
to trail up the secret miner, but with
out success, as the Mexicans are too
sharp to give themselves away so east
ly. And the mystery is sill unveiled.

The big copper mine near Albu

Canyon del Aqua company, is produc
, ing we'll and steadily, about fifty mer
being employed in and around it ant
about fifty more being engaged in haul

: running. They are turning out abou'
|, forty or fifty tons of eight per cent
: copper ore in bullion every day, which
averages in Chicago, when it is sold
$3.50 a ton. The days work thu
amounting to $1,000. MI. MCGEE thinks
I that at present nearly two Thousand

labor. This amounts to nearly $4,000
. and by July, when he expects to hav'
e four furnaces at work. he thinks tina

V of the company, which were selling

and bid fair to 20 higher.
