are saved in every instance. To
illustrate, the prospects realized
from three WEEKS testing. averag-
ing four per day, or the eastern
vein belonging to Osher d. Spills,
on being retorted, yielded in mer-
chantable gold the snug little sum
of Ave dollars. Ordinarily, in the
practical pursuit or calling of min
ing, these prospects are cast aside,
as being too small to notice. The
above evidences that in every IN
stance our miners should save these
little items, inasmuch as the prac-
tical tests il carried out for a year
will result in total sufficient tc
provision tos several months well
regulated family of miners.
The outlook for the camp was
never brighter than at present. 1t
is a settled fact that the Graphic
company is planning an enlarge
ment of their reduction works
They will start With large capital,
and backed as they are by a mag
ni6cent mine, they will giyean i'm
petus to Kelly and the Magdalena
mountains such as it has never
had. The .oompanys reduction
Morks will be rebuilt and improved
until they will be second to none
in the southwest. = Mail.
Between the hours Of 4;30 and Z
Monday morning cave occurred
in the Kelly mine, about 200 feet
Of 1.ls hanging wall coming down.
1t was necessary to discontinue
work for short time. Mr., Jungk
of Socorro, arrived Tuesday after
noon to view the damage, and from
what we can CLEAN the work of
cleaning out the debris will be COM
menced at once with only short
delay to the regular working Of the
mine.
S. H. Bernard, of Kingston, went
up the road Saturday on his way
to Kansas City to close the sale of
the Nevada Consolidated mine near
Kingston, to Kansas City parties.
The mine, we learn, was sold at
reas ,nable price, and rs the new
owners intend to nut on large de-
yelc ping force, the transfer will be
a benefit to the camp.
Alex Monroe, a miner well known
in New Mexico, and who for nnmy
Der ot months has been leasing on
the Lake Valley mines, has made a
handsome stake recently. Hs de-
parted for bis eastern home with
$1,000 cash. Mike Murphy, another
miner who is leasing on the same
mines, has jsst struck fine body
Of ore and will make stake.
A most extraordinary discovery
in the process of extracting gold
from the ole was on exhibition at
the territorial fair. The process is
entirely electrical and will develop
good yield of gold from rock in
which the usual process OF assay
ing ia unable to find a trace. 1t is
a most astonishing discovery and
will completely revolutionize the
gold mining industry.
The shaft on The Mountain King
at Pinos Altos has reached depth
of 100 feet, showing aa average of
Elk inches Of high. grade ore from
the depth of sixty feet. The fissure
shows from four and half to seven
feet between walls from surface
down. At 100 feet q crosscut has
been started easterly to strike the
main or "Osoeola" vein, distant
about twenty-five feet.
Jim Whitlatch was formerly the
owner of the Whitlstch Union
mine, near Unionville, Mont. He
sold his mine for 81, 100000 in
gold. He lost his stake on Wall
street, went back TO Leadville, and
in six months made $4,000, and
lost every pickle Of it in 1882 by
the failure Of Grant d Ward's
bank. Now he mas Sl50,000 to his
credit in the bank. Sentinel.
