engineer for the Santa Fe Copper COM
pany, written by Supt. Thomas Kiddie,
under date of San Pedro, 26th instant,
was shown New MEXICAN news gatherer
to-day. 1t contained this statement:
"Two furnaces running and everything
going smoothly at the copper works.
l was in the Lincoln-Lucky see.
ing the cave to-day. 1t is all
there. John King must make pile out
of it. Splendid galena, sulphate and car
Donates of lead. What appeared to be
the bottom is in reality six feet of the
roof, which has fallen in, so just how far
the mineral extends they have no idea"
This means that the strike is turning out
greater than was at first reported, and
that no estimate of the value of ore in
sight can even now, after five days OF
exploration, be made.
The first Methodist church of San
Pedro was organized on Thursday, and
articles of association ordered to be drawn
up. The building is to cost 81 500, which
amount has already been raised. List

-Nogal Nugget.
An average of one car load a day, the
year round, of Kansas produce is unloaded
at Cerrillos alone, to feed teams that are
working in southern Santa Fe county.
This means an average Of about $50 900 a
wear. besides freights, for stuff that should
be raised and supplied by New Mexico, in
one little mining section of this vast do
main.
B.A, Arnold of San Pedro SAID to-day:
ri believe the greatest camp in the west
ia located within the boundaries of Santa
Fe county. Development is all that is
REQUIRED. There are fifty as great mines
as the Big Copper and the Lincoln Lucky
within radius Of five miles of San Pedro,
and at the present rate OF development
the camp can not but prosper as only a
second teadville can."
The Rustler makes this very sensible
and timely obse vation: "There is no
reason why Ce.rillos and San Pedro
should not work perfectly in harmony
with each other, in the future as they
have in the past. Cerrillos is the natural
supply point for San Pedro, both in ship
ping and for coal and coke--is part OF
the same great mining section, and the
prosperity of one must mean the pros
4 perity Of the other"
