News Notes.

The Lucky mine interests have en-
crossed the speculations OF San Pedro
people for the last week. The owners
have been absent and the employees eX-
pected change at pay day yesterday
The news arrived Saturday night OF the
sale of the Lincoln mine property by the
owners OF this and the Lucky mine. Col.
johnson and H. T. Wright have effected
very favorable sale of this new and inn
portant development of the carbonate
deposits. Col. Johnson retains one-tiith
interest in the Lincoln. The remaining
four-f have been sold to Jefferson
Reynolds, ESQ.,, banker at Las Vegas and
II. T. Wright. The consideration for this
four-ffths interest was $4,000. There
has been twenty-three men at work dur
ing July ON drift from the Lucky mine
to strike the same rich carbonates and
galena veins in the Lincoln. Till Satur-
day night it had not been reached, but
the news OF the sale from Albuquer-
que was met with the cheering
Lincoln that large body of the same
kind of carbonates and lead had been
struck late in the afternoon, assuring the
new owners OF the value OF their purchase
Orders have come to transfer the foreman
and men employed by the company Of
the Lucky to the Lincoln, and to work
there eight hour shifts, amounting to sixty
men night and day on the Lincoln. The
same success is therefore confidently pre-
dicted with this mine as with the Lucky,
and this new strike will give an impetus
to the San Pedro camp for which it has
evidently been waiting the past week
The Lucky mine has been leased to Carl
Lasen for the working OF iron smelling
ores for the Santa Fe Copper company.
| He has been making good thing of this
lease and has also struck a ne" deposit
there of Carbonates and galena, which
will continue to give value to the Lucky,
of which from the temporary failure OF
the carbonate veins in the hands of the
original owners there has been recently
some doubt The prospects Of mine
when there has been genuine production
as in the Lucky ard demonstrated by
its large shipments, are like the shifts of
the workmen, a changing quality every
week l saw the new products of the
lessees yesterday coming regularly from
the shafts OF the Lucky.
These have been other sales of mining
property which indicate considerable activ.
ity among those having small holdings. Mr..
Riddle sold to Col. Johnson his one-ffth
interest in the Bullion for $500, and rich
ore is now being taken out OF it. Mr..
Miller is in Albuquerque leasing the Last
Chance, Red Cloud and Bonanza fifteen
miles from San Pedro. in the Sandia
mountains, where recent strikes Of galena
have been made.
There are hundreds of prospectors at
work within a radius of five miles from
San Pedro, confidently expecting to make
sale OF their claims to those who have
the capital to work them or strike it rich
themselves. They are consequently held
at reasonable prices, and few such
developments as have been recently made
and mentioned in these columns will
bring those who desire the pleasure OF
owning mine and are willing to make
the venture, without which, in mining as
in many other legitimate business schemes,
the old proverb is very true, over waget
NIGHT, er whonet NIGHT" who ventures not
| does not ever win.
Mr.. Sandy has sold half interest in
the Pearl in Golden, to B. Tot. This is
a prospect with forty foot shaft and ten
foot tunneling showing good body OF
ore. Mr.. Cooke half interest in the Mag
dalena, within few rods of San Pedro
streets, for $75, to J. Broils.
Mr.. Reynolds is coming soon to San
Pedro in company with A. o. Robinson,
general manager OF the A., t. Il S. F.
railroad, and will be met at Cerrilles by
Rogers, who has been q well known rust
Ter OF these camps at Cerrillos and San
Pedro for several years.
We will soon give the readers of the
New MEXICAN fair statement of the
probabilities and growth and commercial
importance of San Pedro when We have
more thoroughly understood them from a
few days of observation and inquiry which
will give US the reliable facts.
