SAN PEDRO, N. NJ, Sept. 15.-A few Q
, the tin horn fraternity in company Will
many sharks and would-be speculator
have been here and gone within the pas
thirty days, and because the gold ant
silver did not bob up out Of the earth q
their approach they have gone of, anc
talked about US in the most unknd man
ner. They have said our boom had
petered out; that business was overdone
that the mines were failing, etc., ETC., ad
lib. Well, matters have been more quiet
here for thirty days past than they were
ninety days ago, when the strike of car
Donates set our town toward prosperous
times, but If anybody with clear head
tor business aud possessed of q fair
amount OF penetration and foresight Will
come here and look over the ground he
will find that We are still in the swim
with the best town in the southwest.
Sixty days ago the mineral DEVELOPMENT
| did not justify 90 much building nor the
rush OF such a gang of simple fortune
hunters. OF course they had to 20, and
now ever, body is heartily glad OF at, for
to-day San Pedro is settling down to
solid, steady growth that is the pride of
every permanent resident. There are
more wage workers in and about the camp
to-day than ever before, aud there is more
money here in circulation for the size of
the town than at any other point in the
whole west. Mineral development is
going on at a most gratifying
rate. AT the Copper company's plant
extensive Improvements are in progress.
Tomorrow will be payday and everybody
is happy. Not far from town number
OF fine gold properties have been opened
OF late. Among the most extensive is
the San Lazarus mine, owned by Mr..
Conger. He has gone to Santa Fe with
parties from Kentucky who have bought
u half interest in his mine, and the in
tention is to put up Wiswell mill. The
ore is free gold and the vein is ten feet
vide, running $40 to the ton. Another
promising property is the Tres Hermanos
group of locations owned by Col. |
Blake and others. The ore is
of the massive galena sort and
assays Of it give returns all the way from
Po W PAjooV pei toh. SOl. Dlak0 lelL mere
several days ago for Santa Fe, whence he
goes to Las Vegas to meet Messrs. Hart
man, Higgins and Shanks, who are about
organizing company to develop the ore
body in the Tres Hermanos. At the
Lincoln.Lucky there is a fine ore body IN
sight and twenty tons OF high grade ore
daily are taken out and sent to Ceriillos
for shipment to Pueblo. The diamond
drill outfit is here and will soon be ex-
ploring the carbonate belt. 1t is owned
by some of the Lincoln Lucky folks
and there is row on in that COM
pany about the management and
he work the drill shall do, but this will
probably be adjusted in few days, as
Jeff Reynolds has taken an option on the
whole stock, and he is supposed to have
'he upper hand.
In the building line the saw and the
hammer are busy, and building material
s in demand. Colorado prospectors,
lriven out by early SHOWS, have already
begun TO arrive and floor space will
'gain be selling at a premium for sleep
ng purposes before many days.
