Tom Savage and a gentleman from
Colorado have bonded the "Silver Dol.
lar" from Shryock & Buoy in the Organ
mountains and will commence work at
once, so says the Rio Grande Republican.
Mr.. Savage is nephew of Col. Savage,
formerly superintendent of the A., T. &

Silver creek notes from the Enterprise
Col. Fleming has posted notices calling
for bids for $50 feet of work on the Maud
S property, with view to starting up the
five-stamp mill already on the ground.
n The building of the Last Chance
mill is rapidly progressing. If finished
according to the very admirable plans
and drawings of Supt. Kirkegsrd, this
will be the most completely appointed
mill in the territory.
Parties are here looking up the Mineral
Hill and San Carlos mining districts, and
claim that at Mineral Hill there is good
chance to make mining pay well. Prof.
Longuemare once told US he had seen
just as good prospects around Las Vegas
as any place in the territory, and that if
developed there were many good mines
near here. So far the Bowmer Tunnel
company is the only one that is getting
along where they will soon be paying ex-
penses Free Press.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons, superintendent of
the Ricolite marble quarries, informs the
Silver City Enterprise that the shut down
is only temporary, and was caused by the
washing out of the ford on the Gilc
There are now thirty-three cars of marble
ready to move, but it is impossible to
freight across the river until the fords
have been fixed, which can not be done
until the present stage of water in the
river subsidies. 1t is Mr.. Fitzsimmons'
intention to sink willow mattresses in the
river, which will give the river solid
bottom. What that sections needs more
than anything else is railroad, which
will probably be built to the camp some
time during the next year.
A pleasant party of Wisconsin gentle
men were visitors at Cerrillos and San
Pedro last week, all of them interested in
mining properties. They were J. L.
Gates, L. Abraham, Leopold Hammel
and M. Newald, of Milwaukee, and w. P.
Wheelihan, of Necedah. All went away
we'll pleased with the outlook and the
progress of their interests. Mr.. Freschl,
who arrived last week, is still at San Pc.
dro. These gentlemen have taken hold
of the Cerrillos smelter project in earnest.
They have the means and the pluck to
push it and it does seem that at last the
splendid field for big smelter, so long
open at Cerrlllos, is to be occupied at an
early date.
The Luhring Concentrator company, of
London, England, is forwarding to the
Santa Fe Copper company at San Pedro
lotion concentration to make test of
the machines capacity for treating these
ores. If successful, the Luhring company
agrees to erect 500-ton concentrator and
bind itself to concentrate the San Pedro
copper ores at cosj not to exceed 25
cents per ton. An expert named Schaef-
fer, recently sent from London by the
Concentrator company, has made most
favorable report on San Pedro concen-
trating ores and it is on the strength of
his investigations that the Luhring COM
pany makes its proposition. Mr.. Schaef-
fer is quoted as saving that "at San Pc
dfo is to be found the largest quantity of
concentrating ores he has ever examined"
