Every mining camp in New Mexico
should be represented at the anti-alien
act congress to be held at Ell Paso in
December. Talk it up among your
friends.
Cerrillos is making good progress with
its smelter project. 1t is the best location
in the west to-day for smelter and cap
italists seem at last to have opened their
eyes to the fact.
Dan Taylor has taken a contract to
open the Rosa mine at Dolores, owned
by w. E. Gortner. W. G. Ashdown and
S. ID. Baldwin. A rich streak of wire
gold has just been struck in this promis-
ing property.
Tom Foster is taking out and running
through the Standard mill, at Gold Hill,
ore which nets him the neat little sum OF
500 to the ton on the plates. He is run
ing through five tons day and cleaning
up $500 day net. Il
A pointer for Cerrillos: The Arson s.
smelter at Hanover has closed down tenn.
porarily owing to inability to get coke.
As soon as the needed article can be pro.
cured the smelter will proceed to turn
out its quota of copper again.
In the Mitchell company's mines on
the Mangus, Grant county, good ore
bodies running from 5000 to $3.50 per ton
have been worked and the ore shipped
during the past two months. Large
quantities of the same grade of ore still
show in sight in the mine.
A mining deal was made this week
through the Cerrillos Exchange, by which
interests were sold in the S. G. Wright
and Lucas properties at San Pedro. In a
very short time two Huntington mills will
be put up on these properties and the
management will mean business from the
go.-Rustler.
The leasers on the Readjuster mine
have commenced sacking ten ton ship
ment of ore. There is now in sight, in
the Readjuster more ore of higher grade
than there has ever been before. Messrs,
Robinson, Spradling, Crumrine and CHS
holm are working the property vigorous
ly and will take out large amount of ore
during the next few months.-Black
Range.
Hank Dorsey and Willis Jam es are
taking out high grade ore from the Moon
light claim at Bald mountain. The mine
is owned by Mayor Fleming and Hank
Dorsey over 100 tons of ore are now on
the dump and hauling will be commenced
next Monday. The ore will be worked
by Milstead & Co., at the Bremen MILL
Silver City Enterprise.
The Cash Entry has transferred its
operations from the Cash Entry shaft to
the Central, which has given rise to
rumors of a partial shutdown, etc. The
facts are the hosting and pumping ma
chinery of the plant is at the Central, and
this shaft was intended to be the operating
shaft. 1t will be sunk to the thousand
foot level and prosecuted to the other
lower levels in the different shafts.
That Hermosa is a poor mans camp is
the proud boast of its people, and it is
true that its present position of impor-
lance and prosperity has been attained
without the aid of adventitious capital.
1t is great thing that this little camp is
annually producing over 5000, 1000, and
that the average value OF the ore shipped
is over $240 per ton. The mines of Her
mosa are located on contacts of shale,
quartzite and in one section Of porphyry,
with lime.-Sierra County Advocate.
