Carlisle Notes.

rom different parts ot the coun-
 try with view to speculating il
 mining properties Tn this section As far as can be learned they are well satisfied with the property
 they have examined; and there is
 no doubt but that they will invest
 several thousand dollars in this
 region. They have made the re-
 mark that this district will rank as
 one of the first ill the country,
 and they will use every endeavor
 to bring capital here, where there
 are so many valuable claims that
 can be bought for a nominal fig
 ure.
 The prospects of this camp are
 to-day far better than at any time
 in the past, and the future pros
 poets of the camp are still better.
 The four roasters are all charged
 and are roasting concentrates in
 great style. The smelter is fin
 ished and will be red hot in a few
 days. More water is obtained al-
 most every day. The 60 stamps
 are dropping night and day with
 the exception of short intervals,
 when the water gets too muddy.
 There is also enough ore broken
 up in the mine and on the outside to keep the mill running for the next seven months. And at the same time MT. Timley, the fore man af the mlne. is still working forty miners to advantage.
 Mir. Cominskey, the expert fore man of the mill, has obtained a leave of absence for three weeks. He has gone to see his better-half and children, who are living in the State of New York and whom Mir. Cominskey has not seen for the past six years. We imagine that it will prove a second honey moon. During his absence As sistant Superintendent Harry Longmaid has charge of the mill.
 Now, few remarks in respect to Special Agent Walker. Accord ing to the issue of February 24th, of the Silver City Enterprise, he has ordered the woodchoppers to cease cutting any more cordwood; next, he will force all sawmill men to shut down unless they can find mineral in paying quantities on their claims. Mineral can be found on these claims. l have seen photographic panorama of a stretch of country beginning at the Carlisle mine and extending to the Pine cienega, a distance of l sixteen miles, and it represents almost an unbroken chain of rug ged, cragged mountains, with a superabundance of massive rocks, | and scarce tree to be seen. The | readers of your paper have ire quently heard the Quakers cry for shoe thread where there was no wool; and the commissioners agent far the timber question in this timberless and mountainous mineral range is very similar to the cry of the Quaker.
 Regarding the citizens of the camp, will say that the majority of them are law-abiding, and they will ever be found standing for justice. The declaration that we see in the Silver City Enterprise of what the timber officers will do with the citizens of this camp and vicinity we consider as too much bumcomb for either the of icers or the citizens or Carlisle to pay any attention to.
 The weather at this camp is beautiful at the present writing, and occasionally we have nice shower, which Is bringing the spring grass out in abundance, and there is every indication that he year 1888 will prove more than any year in the past, both to capitalists and work ng men.
 There are several rich mines nere owned by Thos Levi, Jack McNeff, Messrs. Hinckey Kesler, Bailey, Grain and others, which need capital to develop them to prove their vast richness. It is that a capitalist will soon be in our midst from St. Louis with a view to purchasing he Pilgrim mine owned by Thos Levi.
 Last Friday q dispute arose ,ver dice game between Ed iregerson and Bob Hollmac, which resulted in the latter being ( to the hos pital, where le is under the care of our effici- mt doctor.
