closed 10y Judge Thornton created no little
stir in local business circles last evening,
and to-day everybody is on the alert for
further details OF the transaction. These
as yetcan only be partially given, for those
interested most are still quite too busiy
engaged to sit down quietly and give out
the facts for publication. However, by
tint OF earnest inquiry among some who
are On the inside OF the deal, some add
tional facts arc learned which make
mighty interesting reading
There were some slight inaccuracies in
the report published Yesterday, occasoned
by the fact that the principals in the affair
could not be induced to talk much about
it till they saw the
GLITTER OF ENGLISH GOLD
which backs it all, but in the main the
statements were substantially correct.
The amount OF land involved was the
principal inacCuracy, it being stated to be
500 acres, when it should have been bur
$40 acres, These are lands held under L.
5. patent. DR.. Enos Andrews and others
Of Santa Fe. also number OF former res
idents here, now citizens of Pennsylya-
MIA, owned 240 acres OF the land involved.
and each OF them came in for a very large
slice OF the purchase money. The re-
msinder OF the land was owned by Mr..
Wilson Waddingham and his associates
il the great Cash Entry mine.
THE SALE INCLUDES
the Cash Entry mine, the famous Cen
trail, Towser, and other we'll developed
properties which years ago first proved
the existence OF vast ore bodies beneath
the surface OF that territory lying twenty
to twenty-five miles south OF Santa Fe.
1t is understood that Judge Thornton
himself not on Y makes a handsome
thing by the deal in the way Of
ready, money but also retains large
interest in the property, as also does
Mr.. Waddinyham. And it is no less a
pleasure to chronicle that Mr.. L. HUM,
the able manager OF the Cash Entry for
two years past, will still be associated
with these mines, having the manage
ment OF the entire property, 1t is due
largely to his ability that the work on the
Cash Entry has so steadily prospered.
This mine now shows an actual
MILE OF DEVELOPMENT,
Ind in the shafts and drifts there is ore in
sight everywhere. 1t is said that there
are in the Cash Entry alone more than
F. 900, 900 worth OF ore In sight. Under
he new order of things it is proposed to
3ink GOO foot shaft in the central mine
aud then drift east one-quarter OF mile,
connect with the lower level in the Cash
Entry, and it is confidently believed that
such workings will run through ore for
every foot Of the distance. There can be
no doubt about it any longer, to Santa
Fe county belongs the honor OF posse ssing
one OF the worlds greatest mines; it has
already been proven. The mineral is
lere and the money has at last been Sc
cured to work it on a scale that will justify
he estimate OF millions for profit,
Just as soon as it is possible TO procure
hem the details Of the transaction will be
given IN these columns.
AT DOLORES
he ore bodies are already pretty well
opened, and it is believed that they are
quite as extensive as those in the Cerrillos
district, differing only in that here they
IRE gold, while at CerriOos only silver and
is accompanying baser metals are found
t is curious TACT that within radius OF
en- miles here are two distinct mineral
,odes Of great value, not SO much because
# their richness, but because Of the fact
hat they are practically inexhaustible--
he Cerrillos on the one hand, carrying
liver and lead with an occasional streak
4 zinc, on the other the Dolores,
fielding gold, both free milling
nd refractory in character, capped
With iron and carrying also some copper
'yrltes. Beyond these again comes the
little Wonder, OF San Pedro, that district
arrying not only well defined leads oil
old bearing quartz, but also great deposits
+ copper, silver, lead and iron, and the
beauty Of tits, both anthracite and bitumi-
ous coal is at hand in abundance to treat
hese ores. Truly, Santa Fe county has
'een blessed by nature in respect to her
1lneral riches. The Spanards knew
hat they were after when they fought |
heir way from the gulf and settled in |
anita Re more than 800 years ago.
Concerning Dolores, Mr.. G. W. Knae-
ell who returned home last night, has to |
iy that he went on this, his first trip, |
Ill Of doubt and believing that reports
ON there had been exaggerated. He
ent into the mines examined the new
ill saw the men chip Oft fragments OF
,ck and wash out the gold in pans, and
g came back convinced of the camps
chness. He says the Hattie mine has
70 tons OF ore on the dump. The Baird
'operty has some 800 tons out, and both
'e Baird and the Cunningham are
auling ore to the new mill. Mr. Fisk is
lifting teams to work as fast ms he can
cure them, but has been detained in
arting the mill because Of his failure to
t teams to haul up the coal. However,
few days these matters will all regu-
te themselves, and as there is now
ough ore out to run the mill two
