| DOLORES N THE SWIM.
The miners in from tho camps to-day
bring good news from Dolores. They are
all now pretty we'll agreed that neither
the san Pedro district, with its Big Cop
per, Lucky and Alpine mines, nor Ger
rillos with its Cash Entry, Central and
Chester have any advantage whatever
over the Dolores region when it comes to
a show down Oh ore bodies. In the Hat.
tie mine, owned by Ben Stops and Jessie
Benton, another strike has been made
and the vein has opened ont fully forty
feet in width and seems to spread out
under the mountain like great fan. The
ore Is not counted rs high grade, but it is
free milling The vein runs from $40 to
$40 in gold and will, it is said average
sl8 clear across the breast OF the ore body
as now opened. In TACT there seems to
be mountain of it that may he classed As
good low grade ore Il Was this fact that
formerly gave the property the
name OF "Stoop's Rock quarry" When
it is remembered that the greatest mines
OF the world have been low grade ore
producers, some idea of the real value OF
this mine may he conceived But it is
not alone on the Hattie or tie Benton
that Dolores relies for future industrial
growth. There are twenty properties al
ready opened i'll the district which only
await turtle, development to show up
quite as well.
Latest advices from this camp say that
the Fisk mill will al noon to-day begin
running through ore. Everybody expects
the new plant to do all that has been
claimed for it, and the ease WITH which
the machinery works certainly seems to
warrant this belief, but probably A trial
run Of ten days will be necessary before
one can pass intelligently upon its merits
Tor treating the ores supplied by the
mines OF that district.
