THE BOOM SPREADING.


To the Editor of the New Mexican.
SAN PEDRO, Aug. 81, lSSQ.--A big new
strike was made day before Yesterday by
O'Brien, this side the Lucky gulch.
O'Brien is Tom Catron's partner. They
tried to keep it quiet, hut these things
will leak out. King & Warren have bond
ed the extension for $4,000. The Lucky
is shipping twenty tons per day now via
Cerrilos TO Denver and Pueblo smelters,
netting 1000 per day. The company
has bonded the Washington and Par
nell. The Copper company, fully realiz-
ing the importance Of the fullest co-Opera-
ton with the prOspeCtOr, intend at their
meeting i'll Santa fe, September5 ., to offer
even better inducements to new corners,
settlers, miners, etc, than the United
States government does.
Nothing stands in the way of San
Pedro's greatest success. She is going
struck daily. The Town Site company
sold sixty lots last week and the stock is
now worth five for one and will be worth
500 for one in six months. Advices from
Leadville, Aspen, etc, indicate an i'm
mense exodus OF Colorado miners before
the snow flies On account of the cold Colo
RADIO winters. Mr.. Godfrey, the new
Copper company contractor, put 800 men
on to-day and will increase the force on
the arrival of the lngersoll steam drills
and other machinery now en- route for the
Copper company. Mr.. Godfrey is bound
to make big success OF this work. Stock
in time has risen 100per cent the past ten
days.
Mayo and Albright do not need any
one, as Dogberry says, to write me down
an ass" They accomplish this to perfec-
ton writing down" their Biographies
The grapes are sour.
The officers and directors of the new
Diamond Drill company are G. \. Mac
donald, M. Erieberger and Thos. c.
Condor, of New York city; and j. Ray
nolds, treasurer; and A. Ii. Reynolds, Of
New Mexico, general manager.
G. A. Mcdonald, the president, is a
nephew and American financial agent OF
Lord Granville, OF England, whose in
come from the Cornwall iron mines alone
is over G7000,O 600 per annum. The COM
pany has the best OF drills, engines, etc,
now on the road from New York city to
San Pedro, and the object Of the Diamond
Drill company is to prospect everything
thoroughly, to discover where to sink
development shafts to best advantage, so
greater developments than ever can soon
be looked for. All this machinery, covering
an advance of over $4,000 cash, is now
on the road to Cerrillos station for San
Pedro's development at the rate of from
thirty to sixty feet q day, as against
foot day by sinking Az shafts in the
old methods, taking sixty days to do
what will soon be accomplished in three
or four days, and at one-tenth the ex-
pense. q. J. 3.
CERRILLEAN SAUCE.
The best indication for the future of
Santa Fe county's mining boom and in
dustrial development is found in the fact
that men Of acknowledged conservative
tendencies, who have been Oh the ground
oltenest and noted every point carefully
tor the past two mOnthS,are now the very
men who are getting a foothold for bust
ness in among the mines. They have
made up their minds that the boom has
come to stay, and they are going in to
stay with it. Nobody has watched the
growth OF San Pedro and CerriIlos any
closer than have i. N. Reaser, John
Patterson, Jacob Weltmer, W. A. Nc
Kenzie, A. l.. Kendall, W. G. Ashdown,
Z. M. Creamer, and business men of that
rank. They have seen enough in the past
to stake something on the future, and
they have got their business stake" al-
ready driven in the little Pittsburg or the
new Leadville.
Cerrilos, from her central location and
facilities, and being accessible to
the Cerrillos mining district toward the
north as well, as the Dolores and San
Pedro region, is showing rapid business
growth now and this state of affairs is
greatly enlivened by the unprecedented
demand for Cerrillos coal aud coke, the |
annual output OF which has but Just be-
gun. 1t takes men and mules and money
TO keep things going where from twenty
to thirty car loads OF stuff are loaded and |
unloaded daily, and that's what is being
done at Cerrillos. Ten days ago the A.,
T. q S. +. completed new side track
there and now the cry is for another,
third one, that will further facilitate the
of freight.
THos. P. GABLE TALKS OF IT.
The atiable landlord of the Cerrillos
hotel was in the city last night and said
there was an element OF fascination about
Santa FEES mining boom that argued well
ior the future. At Cerrilos he said |
Reaser and Patterson had bought property
and were erecting building 50x22 feet, in |
which would be placed heavy stock of
hay, grain and provisions, the same to be
under Mr.. Patterson's control. Perfecto
Armijo, OF Albuquerque, also is erecting a
big warehouse at Cerrillos. The McKen-
.ie Supply company is putting up fine
new store building. and great many
smaller buildings and dwelling houses are
Il course of construction. Mr.. Gable
says the town is in urgent need of con-
5racting builder and brick yard. There
s fine business there awaiting the right
sort of men.
AS to the miEes Mr.. Gable says, each
lay the outlook grows brighter. The
iov. Ross claim at Dolores shows a new
gold lead of high grade, and shipments
sill begin soon. The Silver King and
Chester are both shipping II fine quality
If ore. Over at the Cash Entry and
Central work is going steadily on, and
he big concentration plant will ere long
'e on the ground, Manager HUM leav-
ng shortly for the east to inspect the
Attest patented concentrating plants with
/ view to advising his company just what
ort OF machinery will best serve for
reating the Ccrrilles district ores.
