AMONG THE MINES,


Cash Entry Improvements-Cham
Dam Disa. tar--Mine Notes.
The New MEXICAN has trustworthy in
formation from San Pedro to the effect
that another strike of lead carbonates-
ores 80 earnestly sought after by the great
smelter corporations OF Pueblo and Den
ver-has just been made, this time in the
Anaconda claim, which is an extern
sion of the Lincoln-Lucky. The ore in
the new find is identical with that in the
latter mine, though as yet scarcely so
rich as the discovery has not been probed.
1t was found at depth of $50 feet, and is
on a line with the main ore body in the
Lincoln-Lucky, being some 500 yards east
of the side line of the latter mine. The
strike is of special Importance as further
indicating the extent of the carbonate
belt in the San Pedro district.
THE CASH ENTRY-CENTRAL.
In the Cerrillos district the Cash En-
try-Central company continues to push its
work of building an industrial village.
Here, twenty miles south of Santa Fe, is
destined to be the cargo" of New Mex
leo; it will be to Santa Fe what the great
Argo works are to Denver. Agood miner
who applies for work is never turned
away, and at present seventy-five
or eighty men are on the pay
rolls. Some fifteen OF these
are builders, and lumber, stone and brick
are going into various structures of the
most substantial kind. The average Santa
Fean doesn't begin to comprehend what
is going on down there. Already it be-
gins to look like town of smoke stacks,
A splendid brick structure is now going
up which is to serve as company offices.
The frame work for the immense building
that is to house the concentration plant is
being placed by dozen carpenters; sew
eral store buildings are about being fin
ished. Miners are at work in the lower
levels of both the Cash Entry and Central
properties, and the new hosting works
are running nicely, while every moment
the great pumps are hosting volume OF
water as big as mans body-and yet
some people say water can not be found
in this country. The coming fall will wit
ness the Inauguration of great season of
prosperity at this camp.
THE CHAMA DAM BREAKS.
Hon. A. T. Kendall, of Henderson, KY,
an ex-state senator in the Blue Grass
state, arrived in Santa Fe last night and
this morning lost no time in boarding the
narrow gauge in company with his fore
man, J. T. Hagan. He goes to the Chama
river plaCers to inspect the operations
there OF the Kendall Mining company,
costly dam which high waters in the
Chama carried out for him a few days ago.
This dam was not wisely constructed, hut
it had cost years work and some$7 900.
1t had been just completed, water wheel
put in and the company was only await
ing the arrival of the necessary hose and
nozzles from the east, when a four foot
| food came down from the mountains and
swept it out clean. Mr.. Kendall is said
TO represent strong company of Louis
vile capitalists and he will order it re-
placed at once, this time on different
plan.
CAMP ECHOES.
Henry Yates has opened fine proper
ty near Golden, which will be heard from
ere many days.
There is no doubt about it, the Tres
Hermanos has proven itself a valuable
property, and ore shipments will begin in
few weeks.
The Galena Hill Mining company is
taking out some fine ore just south of San
Pedro. The Mayhower shaft is down 1876
feet and shows up well.
James Cheeves, here from San Pedro,
says the Big Copper mine is far better
property than it was ten years ago, and
before October things will be humming
down there.
There is more earnest work being done
in the way of prospecting the mineral
finds of Santa Fe county at this time
than ever before, and results are altogeth-
er highly encouraging.
Dick Giblin is in from Pedro to-day and
takes hopeful view of affairs there
abouts. Fe still speculates a little in Santa
Fe Copper stock, though is not quite
whole on the last 1000 shares he bought
at 81.
