1t proposes 10 30 as last as men and
money can accomplish it, Their new 100
foot tubular well, So inches in diameter,
settles the water question. the fluid stand
ing within eighty feet Of the surface. The
company yesterday bought of the Ortiz
grant company the immense pumping
machinery which has 50 long stood idle
OH the GallSteO. and this is to-day being
hauled over TO san Pedro. 1t will be put
III operation on the new well, and having
a six inch discharge, with 4 capacity to
lift great quantity OF water 400 feet, it
will be utilized Tor the double purpose
OF supplying the 20 gold stamp mill and
also to furnish water for fire and domes-
tic purposes on the company's new town
site. Water is also being developed in
the mine and every drop of it is being
used advantagcously. The new hosting
machines will be in operation in two
weeks. Also a survey is now in progress
with view to erecting cable tramway,
over which ore extracted from the mine
will soon be sailing down to the smelter
at great saving of cost over the present
method Of handling. In the mine rich
bodies of ore continue to be developed.
The latest strike is in the raise in the
main incline, where two feet OF solid ore
has been opened. The other slopes are
looking very well, showing large bodies
of ore in sight
There are now about 500 men on this
company's pay rolls, and they get their
checks regularly each month. Saturday
next is payday.
Manager Raumheim leaves for Boston
on Saturday morning to be absent about 4
month on business for the company.
GOLD LEADS.
Steady work is on in the free milling
gold leads in the camp about San Pedro.
AS soon as the pumping machinery above
referred to is in operation the company
will build q road to the Apex gold mine
and begin extracting ore for the stamp
mill. This property is on top San Pedro
mountain and shows eight feet of oxide OF
iron ore il garnet quartz, tests from which
show it to be worth $40 per ton.
j. II. Clarke, the millionaire minerand
banker from Montana, has force of men
at work under w. n. Emmert, developing
Il fine gold property recently bonded from
u
a tunnel for seventy-tiye feet now. Mr..
Clarke himself ran fifty tons OF this ore
through the San Pedro stamp mill, and it
yielded $40 to the ton.
Another gold mine which has Il regular
output is the Alpine, near Golden, which
Mcssrs. Greenwood & Brydon are work
ing, treating the ore at the Tuerto mill.
Several new prospects i'll the gold leads
are being worked and are showing well,
but as yet they are only prospects.
EHE GALENA DISTRICTS.
The Lucky is yet the chief producer in
the galena section about San Pedro, but
the riches there found have prompted the
opening of some six or eight shafts which
will prove a great deal within the next
thirty days. In the Black Hawk on the
west of it and in the Bullion claim away
to the south, the distance being some
ganese and galena, the same class of ore
first encountered in the Lucky. This fact
leads to the conclusion that the Lucky's
ore deposit takes the general trend of the
mountain both ways for fully three miles,
and Of course the miners are hard at
work getting there" This theory will
be tested by findings in the Black Hawk
in the west, the Abe Lincoln, the Parnell,
near the Lucky, and the Bullion on the
south. Some of these mines are now
taking out and sacking good grade of
ore, hut as yet they are not deep enough
to encounter the Lucky ores. 1t is devel-
opment work on these claims that the
miners are now looking to to prove up
the extent of the galena ores in that dis
trict.
NUGGETS OF NEWS.

The miners have a theory as to the
about San Pedro mountain
which they are striving diligently to prove.

lower down.
There is neither church nor a Sunday
school at San Pedro. Here is,a field for
