NEW MEXICO MINES !

NEW nj EXICO MINES
A Fort Scott concentration is on the
way from Kansas City to the
Santa Fe Copper company's ground,
1t has a capacity OF $50
ton daily and will be operated in con-
nection with the company's copper re-
duction works. y The Hydraulic
Mining company, New York concern,
has 5 900 acres OF placer ground in Santa
Fe county, and is undertaking to devel-
op water by sinking l0O-foot shaft,
l4xl4 feet, and piercing the bottom
thereof with five tubular wells. \ =
In boring for artesian water near San
Pedro recently, the weli-drillers pene-
trated 33-foot vein of gold ore, samples
of which run from $12 to $l7 per ton. 1t
was struck 100 feet from the surface and
will be opened.
Within the past few days the Silver
Monument Mining company has pur-
chased the Headlight mining claim which
gives them an excellent mill site on Chlor-
ide creek at the foot of the grade OF the
wagon road leading to the mine. The
company will put up concentration of
fifty tons capacity each twenty-four hours.
Lumber for the concentration will be placed
on the ground at an early date and the
machinery will be shipped soon. Work
on the mill and mine will commence
about January J.--Chloride Black Range.
There seems to be little racket on be-
tween the Magdalens paper, Mine and
Lsriat, and the Socorro smelter. The M.
and L. says "The Rio Grande smelter,
for instance, does not get train load of
ore month from Msgdalena and Kelly
all those train loads 90 to Pueblo and
other smeters where miners yet good re-
turns on their ore. No fabulous strikes
have been made, but these mountains are
turning out lots Of rich ore every day.
There is one empty house, for particulars
address this Office"
Santa Fe county notes from the Pueblo
Ore and Metal Review: Milwaukee
capitalists have thirty men at work de-
veloping the San Lazarus group, near
San Pedro, and have opened an 8-foot
vein and a 22-foot vein Of gold ore that
averages SIG per ton. A 200-ton Hun
tington mill is now being placed on this
property. The Cash Entry
and Central mines are working eighty
men, and the new $50 ton concentration is
about ready for steady work.
The Silver Mining company of Lake
valley, Walter G. Hadley, manager, is
shipping from one to two cars of ore per
day. This mine looks better now than it
did in the palmiest days OF the Bridal
Chamber. The history of this mine I'M
der its present management shows what
thorough management and brain power
can do.
Gallup is likely to prove mining GEN.
ter OF no mean Importance, in the near
future Extensive deposits OF tin have
been discovered in that vicinity, which
Prof. Bibikov, OF Albuquerque, has ex-
amined, and says that the ore is in such
quantity that the mines would pay a good
profit if worked-St, Johns Herald.
The year 1891 will be memorable one
in the mining annals of New Mexico.
The output will more than treble that OF
any preceding year. Our territory is
rapidly coming to the front as u bullion
producer, and in less than decade hence,
will rank second to none.-Mine and
Lariat.
Look out for big strikes and large re-
turns from the output of ore in the Car
penter district, Grant county, during the
coming season. The eyes OF mining men
are being turned that way, and they are
not going to be dissatisfied with results,
In our opinion.
Thompson Jones, the agent Of the
Humboldt company, went over to Silver
City Sunday night, gave bond and &c.
cured release of the attachment on the
property OF the Humboldt company.
The mill started up Monday night and
has been booming ever since.--Lords-
burg Liberal.
The Finch and Standish claims near
Lake Valley have been bonded for $751;
600 by Socorro parties. The property is
being worked by the parties who bonded
it, and they are meeting with fine sue
cess, having fine body of ore now in
sight. .'..
Black Range mention = Thomas Scales
has struck it rich in his Clay Bank prop
erty near Grafton. y Fem
Fletcher. the new bookkeeper for the
Chloride Mining & Reduction company,
has taken up his permanent headquarters
at the mill. /.
The southern portion Of the Organ
mining district is attracting
interest on account OF the
Herd Bros. strikin, big BODY Of ore in
the Modoc mine, which will run sixty per
cent in lead and not less than ten ounces
IN silver.
Hillsborough is coming to the front as
4 bonanza mining camp. The Garfield,
near Hillsborough, owned by s. Alexan-
Ter and others, is looking splendid, and
will surely be one OF the mines OF that
,ich district. (
