and the owner is satisfied that he
has a good thing. We are not at
liberty to give particulars of the
discovery as the gentleman does
not care to have it known until he
is assured of its richness.
C. II. Gildersleeve, of Santa Fe
says the Citizen, has gone to New
York to make report upon the IT,
tie of the Enterprise group of mines
at Kingston, which Col. Crawford
IS about selling for 5000, 900.
In the Globe Democrat of July
7th correspondent of that paper
speaking of the Mamie Richmond
mine, gives the location of that
property as "near Hillsborough, at
Hermosa This mine is situated
in the Animas district, three miles
from Hillsbolough and at least
thirty miles from Hermosa.
H. T. Wright, manager of the
Lucky mine at San Pedro, has pur-
chased the Lincoln mine adjoining
the Lucky. The consideration is
said to be $4,000. 1t is generally
conceded by all who have seen
the mines that the carbonate ores
which were first struck in the Lucy
extend below the surface of all the
adjacent claims, the Parnell, Ana
conda, Sherman, and in fact lie
under the whole mountain.--Citi-

S. ID. Baldwin, one of the happy
owners of the Lucky mine at San
Pedro, was in the city on important
business yesterday. He reports
that prominent mining men from
Colorado have offered $3.50, 900 for
the Lucky mine and the owners are
now considering whether they will
accept 1t or not. The new shaft
which they are now sinking will be
finished in few days, when they
will take out twice as much OF the
valuable ore as at present. Citizen
The Modoc mine bids fair to come
to the front as one of tho producers
of tho Organ mountains, second
only to the Bennett. A ledge OF
ore has recently been exposed into
which tunnel is now being driv-
en-, which runs about 30 per cent
in lead and fair amount in silver.
The ore is sulphate and partic-
ularly adapted for huxing ore. The
width of the tunnel is all in ore and
the extent of the body is not yet
known. A carload shipment is now
ready and it is expected that the
mine will produce regularly from
this time on.-R. G.. Republican.
Four months ago Tom Wright
was out to the Bennett mine seek
ing work. Tom was, to say the
least, hard up. He was out OF mon1
ey and his clothes we're ragged and
when he found he had to look fur
ther for something to do, his dlsap-
polntment was great. But his nerve
was good, and like true miner he
went on seeking to better his for
tunes in another camp. San Pedro
dealt better with Tom. He got a
lease on the Lucky mine, and to-
day he Is managing the property
as O wner of an interest. The Lucky
: paws $4,000 a week Republican.
The Eagle company are putting
u
on more men since s. p. Foster has
got home. He has made arrange
ments to put up hosting works and
develop his property to the best
. advantage. The Palomas Chief
will commence work in about ten
days, so | am told, under 5. L. Fos-
; ter's management, and if he runs
it as we'll as he does the Eagle, 1t
will be a success. Mr.. Marshall,
OF the Humming Bird, is feeling
like bonanza king. He has ten
leasers aud seven of them are in
ore with fine prospect of the 9TH
er three getting it in a few days.
They have struck cave of about
TOXIC that has ore in several pla-
ces.-Hermosa correspondent in
