the outlook for the Pyramid company
which looks better than IL has at any
time in its history. The only draw
back to the prosperity Of the company
is the lack CT water and every effort
will be made to push the we'll TO COM
p%letion, new machinery will be order
ed from the oil regions IL necessary.
When the water is reached all neces-
sary machinery viii be put in to re-
duce the ore, and il the proper fiuxes
can be secured a smelter win be built.

The Virginia and Pyramid mining
districts have produced almost every
kind Of mineral from native gold and
copper to the chloride5 of hard work
and the pirates of despair, but this
week a new location has been made in
the Pyramid district which is entirely
different from any thing which has
ever been discovered there before.
Some time ago James Baresford Greg
DRY, while prospecting, discovered
some float which looked very much
like the r~icOlite which Is taken out of
the famous mines on the ella river,
and went to work hunting for the place
where IL came from and succeeded in
finding an immense cropping of the
stuff. On breaking it showed all the
peculiar serpentine formation of the
ricolite onyx. The cropping is about
one hundred feet wide in the widest
place and is traceable for several hun
dred feet. 1t did not take him long to
get up his monuments and fix his
location papers, his fortunate co-owners
being Harry Classen and d. H.. Ked-
zie. Specimens Of the rock taken
from the surface show a beautiful vein
formation and although very hard
from being exposed to the slements
for centuries, take a beautiful polish.
The owners intend to uncover a por-
tion of the ledge and If it shows up
nearly as well as the groupings indi-
cate they have got a big thing. If the
find proves to be as good material as
the ricolite it will be much more valu-
able as IL is only about seven miles
from the railroad with no steep grades
TO travel. Mr.. Gregory is already
negotiating with a prominent st. Louis
dealer who wants just such material
as this and he is in hopes of making
an early sale, After the stuff has been
shown in town there were several men
who knew just where it came from,
they had seen the float dozens of
times but had never supposed that it
announced TO anything, and when they
forld out what it vas they were con.
siderably disguised with themselves
because theyhad not broken open a
piece OF it.
Ramon Gallardo is building a couple
of adobe houses in the northern part
Of town.
