The Denver owners of the Lincoln
Lucky mine at San Pedro are working
twenty-five men at present sinking new
working shaft. A practical man who has
been through the mine this week says the
ore body is immense; that the ore may
be seen showing ten foot breast. This
fall will hear good reports from the Lin
coln-Lucky.
Slapjack Hill is busy spot just now.
1t is dotted with workers, all of whom ap-
pear well satisfied with results. The dry
washers of the district are all now con-
centrated at the placers and give employ
ment to quite number of men. There
are also several other parties engaged in
rocking and panning. -Sierra County Ad-
vocate.
The Old Abe mine at White Oaks is
said to be producing $4,000 per month,
and two offers for its purchase have re-
Gently been refused by its owners. 1t is
considered one Of the most promising
gold mines in the territory, being devel-
oped as yet to but moderate depth. The
main shaft is now down to It's 800 foot
level, where the ore vein is three feet
wide with we'll defined walls. The mill
is working night and day on ore sverag-
ing $5S to the ton.
The Cerrillos Beacon isn't dead. It
comes up smiling and says two Colorado
men have got control of the Wolf mill at
Dolores. Presumably the Beacon refers
to Col. Glass and Mr.. Gentry, of Denver,
1t says: at is the intention of these
gentlemen to begin operation with the 40
stamps as soon as the five years lease is
turned over to them, and employ forty
men in connection with the mine and
mill, and in sixty days thereafter to
have the other 40 stamps set ready for
pounding out the gold, by which time
their water supply will be adequate for
the demand"
Says the Cerrillos Ruster: The Cash
Entry has laid off number of men for q
few days on account of the failure of ma
chlnery to arrive on time to increase the
capacity of the concentrating plant.
The machinery expected should have
been shipped from Fort Scott four weeks
ago, but has just arrived. The new
shaft, the Enterprise, is steadily going
down, and at eighty feet the miners have
encountered some excellent ore, being a
carbonate formation of lead and iron,
carrying silver and gold. 0. w. Alexan-
der is running the holster of the new
shaft. Manager HUM will transfer the
additional machinery for the concentra-
tor, and when that is in place work will
go briskly along.
The Silver City correspondent of the
New York Mining Journal says: Accord
ing to Geographic advices an important
deposit of meerschaum has been discov-
cred in the northern part of this county.
Samples taken from tie croppings several
months ago and forwarded to Berlin and
Vienna have been pronounced by exports
in both cities to be genuine meerchaum. !
When the results of the tests were re-
ceived @. Rogers and M. w. Neff, of Sill |
yer City, at once proceeded to locate
claim. The deposit is on the Sapello creek |
about twenty-five miles from Silver CITY, |
and only short distance from the alum
deposits on Gila river. There are several
narrow veins on the claim just located,
the principal one of which runs the en-
tire length of the location, 1900 feet, be-
ing eight inches in width. A specimen |
was recently exhibited which measured !
eight inches in thickness and about three
feet wide by five feet long.
