4 superb gold button worth $50 went
over the counter at the First National
bank Yesterday as tangible evidence Of
the success which has attended the stArt-
ing OF this new mill. 1t was brought up
from the camp by Harry :. Clancy, Who,
with other Santa Feans is interested with
Milton Fisk in the building ot the mill.
Mr.. Clancy was notified to Ae on hand At
the first clean up anu a1"it the 4th al
Dolores. The result Of the test run was 6
gratifying surprise to ever! bod, even Mr..
Fisk himself, Who, by the 'vny, ii It most
conservative nam Il took Hbont three
days TO get the new plant running
smoothly, hut N TIA; time thirty
tons of ore were run through. Aud such
ore It wa,, 1t lookt! like gypsum. II

provided they would haul !taWay, When
Geo. ". knaebel visited Dolores last
week he questioned Nh. fiAk about using
tins class OF rock Tor 4 test run and the
mil man informed him that twas simply
used to fl up the cracks ami crevices
about the new ore bins, hoPpers and the
new machineryJ that it was as good rs
any for that purpose, ana might yield
about 90 cents 10 the ton.
The first clean up, however, not onl!
made a surprising showing for this ole
dump stuff, but proved conclusiyely the
superiority of the Wiswell patent mill fol
treating the low grade gold ores at polo'
res district. On this first run OF about
thirty tons the mill saved - per ton (un'
doubtedly every particle OF gold there
vas in the stuff and tins resulted, when
melted down, in the $50 button which
Mr.. lauCy brought up yesterday.
There are lneyhaustible bodies OF gold
ores in the Dolores district which run
from 81 to $40 per ton, and they can be
mined at from SO cents 10 81 and Sl.5O
per ton. When these facts are con-
sldered, IN connection with the further
important iact that the Wiswell process
can make money and treat them at 81
per ton, some idea oi the real importance
Of this mills success may be had. Al
present the mill has a capacity OF twenty
five tons per day, but its owners lave
builded wisely for they have motive power,
gearing, house room, etc, all ready to put
in two more mills with very little addi-
tional expense. This will be done inn
mediately, and will permit Of treating
seventy-fve tons OF ore daily. Congrat-
ulations are in order ali around, espe-
ciallv to modest Mr.. Fisk, and to him

a. S. Cowlng, one OF the late owners
OF the Abe Lincoln mine, is in the city on
o visit and paid the New MEXICAN q
pleasant call, He asks that correction
he made regarding The purchase price OF
the Lincoln. It sold for $36 600, and not
$lj 600 as our first informant stated and
the first named amount was paid in cash

one OF the BUYERS already having two-tiiths
OF the property before this final deal was
made. The fortunate owners were A. S.
Albert Fisher, Jack Jones and
Chas. Kelley. 1t is Mr.. Cowling's UNI
derstandlng that California gentleman
named COWan put up the purchase
money, and the mine will be backed by
California capital and work independent

CAMP ECHOES.
Santa Fe now has another reason Tor
reaching out for direct rail connection
With the mines the good news from
Dolores.
People who claim to know the lay Of
he Lucky vein say that the Anaconda
md Parnell bid fair to develop sensations
n few weeks.
The San Pedro company is working q
ull force OF men on the Apex and other
gold leads getting cut ore with which to
start their 20 stamp gold mill.
Maurice Raunhelm, who left for San
Pedro yesterday, confirms the report that
he Santa Fe Copper company has pur-
'hased q lU0-ton silver stack. 1t is now
II route from Boston.
1t is said that the new owners Of the
Central and other properties near Ger.
illos have ordered perfect electric sys-
EN- with Which to run their pumps, do
heir drilling and furnish light. This is
he starter,
Experts have been kept at work pan
ling the tsiings at the Dolores mills and
ave not yet secured color. This indi-
,ates how perfectly the mill works. Ore
rom Harry Clancy's mountain OF mineral,
Known as the Santa Rita, is now being
reated. 1t will yield 50 to s. per ton, or
II otlier words net its owner about $50
