not such bad thing after all.

this district becomes brighter every day.
Aside from the Celebrated Organ mines,
prospects are being developed within a
radius of several miles from town which
bear every indication of becoming vau-
able properties in the near future.

Friday and over to see the first mill run
at Dolores. The big copper

Silver City note: Neff & Rogers put a
number of men to work last week on their
meerschaum mine, and have taken out
some very fine specimens. While there
is a large bed of the meerschaum, good
solid specimens are rather scarce so far,
but as the mine is opened up it will be-
come more solid. Nearly all meerschaum
pipes are made from the shavings, as
large specimens of meerschaum are scarce
in any country. Mr.. Neff states that there
is no question as to the discovery being
as he has been in COM
with several importers for
some time past. One of the heaviest i'm
porters in the United States is trying to
contract for the entire product of the mine,
and expects to be able to ship it to Europe
in large quantities. 1t is valuable dis
covery, and one which will soon bring a
great deal of money into Grant county.

night and day on Ohio ore.
n Huston & Thomas are now
taking out ore that would gladden. the
heart of the average miner and serves to
keep them in good humor. The
Pacific continues to take out it's regular
quota of good ore and manages to keep
the l5-stamp mill grinding away twenty
four hours in day. The Campfire
mine, such extension of the Mountain
Queen, owned by Robinson & Christman,
was sold by F. Transue lately to Mr..
Smith, of Los Angeles, CAL, for So 500.
This is a good property and the purchaser
made judicious investment.
