The Black range. (Robinson, Socorro County, N.M.) 1882-1897, 1884-01-04

The mail due here last Friday at five
pm. did not get in until 8 a. m. Satur-
day, owing to a sudden rise in the Rio
Grande river, oecasi0ned by melting
snow from above. as is supposed. The
rise only lasted a few hours. Singu-
lar freak for that singular stream.
The Royal Arch pump IS handling
the flow of water easily now and the
work of sinking progresses. At the
depth of two hundred feet a level will
be run north one hundred feet. There
is already a fifty foot drift at the one
hundred foot level, and this new
work when completed and added TO
the opening of the straight shaft which
will continue steadily, will make this a
pretty well developed prospect.
To day is Fowler day in Socorro. The
hope prevails here that Fowler hangs,
supreme court and all other forces to
the contrary Notwithstanding. No
light technecality should be permitted
to stand in the way of this red handed
will ain receiving prompt justice. He
is guilty and deserves hanging and
the sooner the job is done The less ex-
pense it will entail upon all of us.
The RANGE has a curiosity to know
the whyfOre of the discrepancy exist.
ing between the sums demanded 10y
publication of delinquent taxpayers,
and that which was claimed of the par
ties previously by the sheriff. The pub
lished claims are LESS than those pre-
sented by Sheriff Simpson by from one
to two dollars each. Will the Sun lie
kind enough to get the sheriff 5 expla-
nation and give it to its readers.
A wagon road between Kingston and
the Palomas is now the talk. The peo-
pie of Kingston propose to contribute
literally toward the enterprise. The
smelter and concentration at Kingston,
both want the Palomas ore. In the
meantime a road from Hermosa to
lntersect the Engle and Chloride road,
will be built. Thus it goes, all along
the line. The Black Range will have
its turn next spring; don't you forget
it!
A meeting of the owners of the Buff
fOm mine was held New Years night
at the residence of Mr.. Castle. Bishop
and Dunn representing a half interest
and Mr.. Castle representing the inter.
ests of the Southwestern Mining com
pany, Work will be resumed at once
upon the Buffom putting it in shape t.
supply ore regularly to the concentration
1t is expected by February first t q have
eight or ten men working upon the
mine.
Is 1t style to advertise a social dance
on a-go-as-you.please basls.and then APP
point someone to make you hold up to
the tune of two dollars? Heard several
com planning that was done at the late
ball. The BLACK RANGE was request.
ed to turn in adollor, but felt so sure il
was Il joke, it paid no attention tn thu
request. The attempt of the agent tt
get dollar off any garment on thu
BLACK RANGE would have been a hare
j Ike on the agent.
Every man in the Range who has
| claim showing mineral that will rul
] twenty dollars to the ton, should worl
t it. The concentration will reduce tn.
ore so as to make it marketable, and il
that way there are many claims tina
Y can be made to pay their way indie
! pendently. IL all the claims Showing
> concentrating ores should be worked
\ would be but Il little time until Chic
t ride would be known as the center o
an ore producing district.
| The Royal Arch is sending OUT a vo,
ume of water which makes a runnin
n stream Of Little Dry creek half a mil
e below its junction with the mai
e gulch. The Alaska has made a goo
strong stream of Turkey creek. a
| some time in the future when the seN
k eral mines which promise to be pay
ing, get to work with machinery it
altogether probable that every gulch i
the Range will have a flowing strear
g of water from heads to mouths. The
all the level valley land will be valuabl
|, for ranching purposes and our hon
q products will supply our markets.
