proper machinery to be treated proftably.
No more extensive mining industries
could be built up anywhere than in this
section.-Cerrillos Rustler.
John Selman has made a new find in
the Organ mountains, eight miles from
the st. Augustine pass. The Las CRU
ces Republican says: He found free
gold in quite number OF veins. On one
he sunk thirty feet and at that depth had
returns of $S7 in gold from four foot
lead. He interested some Birmingham,
Ala, people in the discovery and few
days ago received $4,000 in cash and 49,
600 in notes for half interest in the prop
erty.
White Oaks Leader: The Old Abe is
now down 270 feet and continues to yield
richly.-The North Homestake and the
South Homestake mines and mills are
again running satisfactorily and to the
profit of their owners.-The Lady Godi,a
is keeping up her reputation asa rich ore
producer Wilson thinks he has
the best mine in camp and says he will
soon prove it. He is now mining and
milling the ore in bis own mill.-W. J.
! Littell is developing one of his mines and
has every reason to believe that it will
blossom into veritable Old Abe-Oh if
White Oaks amt booming she's surely
blooming.
A mining man just returned from Den
yer says there's plenty of money held
there for investment in New Mexico min
ing property. But he says the New Mex
leo miner must make some showing to
reach it, and when the question is asked
him, which it invariably is, "Have you
made any profitable shipments ?" he
must answer, "Yes," and prove his
words. Otherwise, Denver investors will
have nothing to do with him, as they
don't speculate in mere holes in the
ground any more. This should have the
good effect to stimulate miners hereaway
to develop and prove the value of their
ore by good mill run.-Hillsboro Advo-
cate.
In figuring on the building Of the Silver
City-Pinos Altos railroad, the Pinos Al
tos newspaper gets down to business with
this sort of showing: The ore shipment
over railroad would be vastly increased,
and as it would enable the Pacific and
Aztec mills to run full instead of half time
the output from these two companies alone
would amount to over 100 tons daily,
The completion of the Colchis mill below
Silver City would mean the opening up
of the Nina Grande mine and the addi-
tlonal output of from forty to fifty tons q
day. The shipment OF concentrates alone
will amount to from twenty to thirty tons
each day. Taking the shipments of all
classes of freight and We have the daily
average of 100 tons. Allowing rs cents
per ton charges and We have the nice
little sum of $l45 per day, 81, 015 per
week, $4,350 per month, and $52, 1925 per
year as the gross earnings of ten miles of
railroad.
Speaking OF the recent strike in the
Stephenson-B Bennett, the Las Cruces Re.
publican says: The ore vein cut by the
tunnel at depth of nearly 300 feet from
the surface, is nine feet wide between
lime walls and all clean ore. In the up
per workings out of three tons knocked
down not much over ton of ore was
sorted out; in the lower level there is
little or no sorting. Probably no vein in
New Mexico can show such variety of
lead ore. OF course, the desirable car
Donates predominant, but there is no
small quantity of sui pilates and coarse
galena, while occasionally beautiful crys-
tails Of molybate Of lead are found. Every
body about the mine is in high glee.
Judge Keeney is quite certain that he has
a true vein, one that can be relied on,
and expects to output fifty tons day from
now on.
