sIRrCK IT RICH.
A rather interesting incident concern
ing new find OF carbonates at Pedro was
related here yesterday 10y gentleman
who came i'll from camp late on Saturday
night Nearly everybody knows Hugh
l.. McIlvain. He is sturdy miner who
has great regard for truth and fairness in
all things. When he left here, six weeks
ago. for San Pedro he VAS met by q Santa
Epan no authorized him to look the
Lround over ard, in case he found pros
pect i'll which he had faith, this Santa
Fean would visit it and perhaps furnish
the money to open 1t up, the two to he
equal partners III the transaction. Last
week Mr. Mcllvain sent in word that he
bad made location, and invited the
Santa lie man to come up and either
"put up or shut up" The Santa Fcan
proceeded to view the ground and made
up his mind that he wouldn't 90 into
the deal. He didn't like the location at
all, and he told Mr.. Mcllvain so and left
On Saturday Mr.. Mcllvain went to work
on his own hook and he put down hole
four feet deep which opened out rs gOoc
lead carbonates as has yet been found ir
camp. This is the latest find in the dis
tllcl, and has created a fresh interest
among prospectors. The full extent Of
the discovery is as yet unknown, but it is
said the carbonates cover the full width
of the vein, four feet, and are in every
respect equal to the best vet produced in
the Lincoln Lucky. Mr.. Mcllvain 3 claim
is located not lar from the Bullion.
CAMP ECHOES.
With q water and gas company organ
lied, and the Santa Fe Southern RAILROAD
assured, San Pedro certainly deserves tc
boom.
4 considerable amount OF heavy hoist
ing machinery is being unloaded at Ger
rillos for the Cash Entry and Contra
mines.
Sol. Lowitzki and son leave tomorrow
ior Cerrillos und will look over the tielC
with view TO establishing q branch feeC
ard livery stable there.
Pueblo smelter men are still striving tc
get hold Of the carbonate lead ores from
The Lincoln-L Lucky They recognize theil
superior tiuxlhg properties.
The spiritual welfare Of Pedro seems tc
be receiving timely attention. Two ant
probably three church buildings will be
under construction inside OF thirty days
Ten cars Of coal per day is about the
average shipments from CerrillOs at pres
ent. The A, L. K S. +. is doing the
light thing by putting iii those new side
tracks. They Will serve to facilitate the
business greatly.
Gov Prince returned yesterday from
Pedro very much elated over the outlook
for the town. lie thinks the Pedro dis
trict will he the center OF attraction this
TALL and winter for the hundreds OF Colo.
RADIO miners driven south by the first
SHOWS.
Very nice samples of palena ore from
Simon Flyers claim, near Bonanza, were
exhibited here to-day. The shaft is down
ll5 feet. Such prospects as that will do
10 sink on, Tor it is not unlikely, from the
general appearance Of the ore, that car
Donates can be found.
The Denver News publishes special
dispatch IRON Cerrillos to the effect that
labor has had al expert there lately.
This is probably incorrect. II, A. W.
labor and his outfit didn't make very
good record the last time they went into
south Santa Re county.
