The Aztec Company's 20-stamp
mill at Silver City Is completed
and IS first-class job.
Bell a. Stephens mill started last
Fifday on ore from Skillcorn's
Pacific mine. Mr.. Skillicorn says
that he would sooner have his mine
than own bank in Silver City.
Money has been scarce during
the Summer on account of so much
Improvements gong on in the town;
but we may look for it lively by
the time the snow will come again
Houston e. Thomas are going to
resume taking out ore on their AL
pha and Omega claims. They have
the largest body of carbonate ore
at the surface, that there is in the
Southwest. The ore is good grade
in silver and lead; and should the
ore body increase in quantity as it
does on the balance of the claims
in the district, which is reasonable
supposition that it will, it would
make it one of the largest and best
properties in the Territory.
From the Silver City Enterprise.
Utter & Lewis have commenced
running tunnel in on the Grand
Tower at Cold Hill The tunnel is
in about ten feet. 1t runs alongside
of the hanging wall, and the fRll
face of the tunnel is in ore that will
average in assays from 81 to 39
ounces in silver. What Gold Hill
needs now is a good custom mill.
Hank Dorsey Is in from the
Grelee district, near Clifton, bring
ing bottle full of coarse gold,
washed from some of his mines.
The dirt paid at the rate of 81 per
pan; but Mr.. Dorsey was compelled
to carry DIT more than a mile on
his back to water. Hank is satisfied
that the placers will yield large
amount of money, but it will require
.he Investment of some capital to
make it profitable,
The Enterprise has been inform

min Harrison. superintendent of
he Pacific, that the new strike is

which there is an ore streak Of fully
i've feet of good pay ore, which will

the largest strike yet made
n this country.
On Wednesday Miller Bros. &
)odd, owners of the Alhambra,
lade the richest shipment of ore
yer made from this city. One
thousand pounds was sent by exs

,ns we're sent by freight, whi,h
ill probably run from $1,000 to
, 81, 500 per ton. A large per cent
the ore sent by express is over
le. half pure silver, while some
,ecimens could be picked out con-
lining almost as much pu-e silver
a coined dollar II don't take
