MINERAL RICHES.


ter Assured-incrcascd shipments
As was 10 he expected, the rustIng rep
resentativcs Of Colorado's smelling in'
dustry have succeeded in securing the
lead carbonate ores from Santa tc county
for their exclusive use, and now the ship
ments from the Lucky and other silver
lead properties are going from Cerrillos to
Pueblo instead Of SOCOrrO. The Smclter
men of Denver, Kansas City, FL Paso and
Socorr0 all made a scramble for this ore,
but the Pueblo hustlers triumphed. They
said they simply had to have it, first, be
cause they could not afford to let it 60 to
rival concern, and second, because OF
its superior free milling qualities it could
be more satisfactorily used rs huX with
which to treat other ores, In this con-
ncction it is worth knowing that the
Lucky owners are charged little
or no smelling charges, because
it has been found that this ore,
when mixed with the more re-
iractOry ores from Aspen, creates rich
combination susceptible to easy treatment.
In other words by using the Lucky ores
the Pueblo smeter works are enabled to
treat a much larger quantity OF Aspen's
rich but refractory ores than ever before,
thus giving them big prestige over their
LeadvlIe and Denver rivals.
Another shipment OF five cars OF ore
leaves Cerrillos to-day Tor Pueblo. The
shipments are now averaging nearly three
car loads per day. Seventy-tlvc teams
are at work and as many more are wanted.
The scarcity of teams limits the output OF
the Lucky at present OahOut sevcnty-tve
tons daily. Mr.. Baldwin, one OF the
fortunate owners, says it Is hoped to pro-
duce 100 tons daily just As soon as addi-
tional teams can be had, II is claimed
that before this property has been III OPP
Grafton six weeks it will have Melted its
owners $50 900. Samples OF the ore run
ming 5000 in silver and SO rich in soft lead
as to crumble. under the touch were
brought in Yesterday and were viewed Ivy
many with great curiosity. II 10 now
pretty certain that inside Of thirty days
all arrangements for treating the bulk Of
this ore at home will have been made.
\ gentleman who knows whereof he
speaks said last night that a smeIter plant
would he erected, and it was his opinion
that the plant would DO located at or near
San Pedro.

THE SITUATION BRIGnTENs.
1t does indeed begin to look as ii Il rail
road will be scoOting across the valley
to Cerrillos and San Pedro ere many
moons have waxed and wancd. Tit
good influence of the Colorado smelte
industry is at work in this behalf and the
D. q r. &. is already pretty well informed
of the situation; but be this as it may
the prospects are also pretty fair nearer
home. The Santa Fe Southern people
express a readiness to talk business on
this point again, and say that if the mine
and mill owners will meet them on the
reasonable terms heretofore suggested
the Santa Fe Southern will be extended
Immediately south from this city. Presi
dent Nelly, Mr.. Gildersleeve and party
OF citizens will leave here on Saturday
morning to go over the route such an eX
tension would have to follow to 20 to Sar
Pedro. 1t is limited also that the A., T
& S. +. people have under consideration
the building OF a spur from CerrllOs tC
San Pedro.

Feans now visiting the mines,
That big English money deal means

all that could be spared from here, hav
been sent to do duty hauling ore to Cel
rillos.
President Hubbell and Manager Raun
helm of the Copper company were dc
tanned at camp on important business, bu
wrte that they will visit Santa Fe in
day or two,
The A., T. & S. F. company writes tina
every facility III Its power Will be rendere
the Cerrillos folk for shipping ores, an
that cars will hencefOrth be prompt
furnished them. Good
Messrs. Van Arsdell and Rankin, VIII
get home yesterday, state that it is sigh
to see the ore haulers line the road. The
think a few hundred dollars road tax
would make good road, only ffteel
miles long, from the Cerrillos side tracks
