A rich find at Silver City is said 10 DO
the most important strike that has
been made in the Territory Of New
Mexico, and an examination tends
strongly to confirm the belief that It is
certainly Of n most extraordinary char
neter. The locality of the strike is at
the foot OF the northwest end Of Bear
Mountains, eight miles northwest OF
Silver City. Tho mineral is horn silver,
and so rich that a knife dropped point
downward OH to it will penetrate the
ore as it would a piece Of wood or soft
lead. There arc a number Of leads, or
possibly the outcroppings Of one vast
lead, covering q space OF fifty to sixty
feet, and traceabls for moro than O
mile. Tho ores are but a few inches be-
low the grass roots. In fact. It crops
out into good paying lodges at the sur
face. At one place 1000 pounds Of orc
that would run many thousands of j0.-
lars to the ton were taken out In q
couple OF hours.
