on every possible occasion.
THE CASH ENTRY DEAL.
That 100000 sale of patent lands,
twenty miles south Of the city, which
created a furry in local mining circles
when announced last week, will be closed
tomorrow by the final transfer OF all the
papers and the paying over of the money.
The numerous ms and outs attending q
transaction OF this magnitude can scarcely
be conceived by the average reader, and
even after such 4 trade is finally closed
there are minor matters of vital import
ance that must be attended to. To-day's
mail from Pennsylvania, for instance,
brought the last deed necessary to COM
plete the transfer, and other incidentals
having been closed up by wire, it only re-
MAINS Tor the new company to plank
down its cash and assume control. AS
heretofore noted, the deal involves $40
acres of the most valuable mineral lands
in the west, including the great Cash
Entry and Central mines. Already the
new management is formulating its plans
for extensive operations. 1t is probable
that the work of extracting ore from both
these mines will begin within ten days,
for it is understood that the new company
will put up reduction works at or near
Cerrlllos as soon as men and money can
do it, With this end in view the buyers
OF the Cash Entry have now under con-
slderation the purchase Of rather famous
free lead producer mot the Lucky, the
ores from which it is intended to use as a
hux in treating the lower grade ores which
abound in such quantities beneath the
surface OF their new purchase.
MORE OF THE RICHNESS.
Capt John Gray brought in q lot Of
samples on Saturday night from the
Chester mine, near Cerrillos, which have
served to arouse additional interest in
that particular locality. There is certain
ly no discount on the beauty and richness
Of these specimens, for the silver per-
meates the rock through and through,
everywhere, and sulphldes which run so
per cent silver, the pretticst chunks of
brittle silver and ruby silver of exquisite
coloring CO.. Dc seen in them with the
naked eye. These have been found by
lrifting less than ten feet in from the
main shaft, and as yet little can be said OF
he extent of the strike. This rich stuff
s in q vein little more than two inches
vide, but along side of it is four feet of
good pay ore, and the two classes are
oeing taken out for shipment. The first
OF will be sent to Socorro on Thursday |
Of the rich stuff Capt. Gray says he has |
,ut six sacks which ought to yield 81 per |
pound. The sulphides and ruby silver
samples shown here to-day will run, &C.
'ording to the judgment of experienced |
miners, from $1,000 to 81 500 to the ton.
Already everything around the Chester |
las been staked by claimants, and many
II the locators are sinking shafts, in sew
,ral cases fine ore having been encoun-
cred few feet down. This is notably |
rue in the prospect of Warren Reynolds
md DR.. Richards, from which exceeding
y rich specimens are shown here to-day |

or there are oxides of copper, brittle sill

he latter are carbonates OF lead very
nearly resembling the Lucky ores, and

hiatt. A five pound specimen OF the
Ialena and Carbonates from this latest |
ind was presented the New MEXICAN to- |
lay by Mr.. Anderson, and the same will |

The Reaser stage line left on its first
rip for the camps this morning, carrying
4 full complement OF passengers and some
$50 pounds OF express. G. NJ. Creamer
sent $50 pounds OF goods to San Pedro.
This is considered q starter in the right
direction, which will be increased from
time to time as the business justifies. Mr..
Patterson, who is in charge of the line,
knows great many people i'll the camps,
and it will be his aim to bring all the
business here possible. In fact, if the
business is such as to justify it the stage
