lied which will be known as the Gold
Canon mining company. The mines be-
longing to the company are located about
seven miles from here. Considerable de-
velopment work has been done on the
claims. The ore IS gold bearing in quality
and will prove a paying investment TO the
incorporators. In the near future the writ
er will be able TO give you full details
Nose Greenlee, that genus homo who
was cut out for a preacher instead Of a
prospector, has moved from the Garfield
over to the Frisco river at which place a
group of mines are named after him, viz:
1.-The Greenlee group" there are seven
claims in it. The ore runs as high as $50
to the ton where it is encountered in an
oxldized state and more than maintains
that valuable equivalent in its base form.
The property is owned by J. H. Dorsey,
Lloyd Tevis and Nose Greenlee. On one
of the mines a test run was made from a
sample taken across the lead "a feet and
six inches that assayed Sc in free milling
gold and a strong per cent in silver.
These gentleman have hung onto this
property knowing i. to be meritorious;
toiling annually to hold their little under
the law; waiting patiently fox the silver
lining that seems now to be showing itself
beneath the sombre cloud that h2s hung
over a mining section that never has been
classed as doubtful by any one, a section
that never has been tried on its merits be-
yond the production of a gold pan meta
~morphized into beans and which they will
prove that they have not pinned their
faith to anything but what will return due
rewards.
North of west Of those claims lies a
property that more or less work has been
done. The property is owned by George
Williams and R. T. Truit, Recently quite
a body of good gold ore was exposed; the
vein being about 4 feet wide and all the
way across its face gold could be seen.
The name of the claim is the Uncle Sam
aud is located near the old Silver Camp.
In view of the fact that every body says
that this place Ia dull and that the out
look is gloomy; that 20 per cent copper is
only wortb'60 cents per unit; that it takes
S35 or more to have shipped to and treat
ed at FL Paso (the nearest point for the
reduction of ores) a ton of free milling sill
yer rock; that the Detroit copper company
has shut down (but it threatens to start
up AGAIN.; that Muldoon give us the go-by
went over into New Mexico and found a
mine Of duskey diamonds and sold a half
interest to the same for a million, not
~withstanding; John H. Hoyey has erected
a building that Is and will be an institution
of this town until there is a more enter
prising and energetic man found that has
the pluck to do better, The site Of the
old Coronado tbeater and saloon has
changed in appearance, A neat two story
building has been erected on it, which will
be a hotel in all that the term implies.
There is a rumor that a single factory
is going to be started up the river and the
following named gentleman. it is said, are
going to put the money up viz; John H.
Hovey. Capt B. F. Narrower, Col. j. F.
t Jordan. A. Arthur, Gemmel this gentle
man splits his hair Just the same as he
I does name right in The middle) and several
f Others. They conceived the idea from the
fact that they saw advertised in the Enter
PRISE ''for sale a 20 foot circular saw
BY the time this reaches you negotiations
, will be under way towards the purchase o.
the saw. Capt. narrower says that he is
! gong to send for the Kentuckey giant t.
run it as there is no one IN either New
Mexico or ArIzona to his knowledge, wht
is competent or capable of tackling a cir
J. cular saw of that dimension. However
o Que feature of the saw is, that the Enter
u prise is entitled to the credit of advestis
g ing for sale, the biggest if not the best
= saw on the market.
There has been more or less common
on the editorial which appeared in las
