IN Segafus, of New York, owner OF
the North Homestake mine at White
Oaks, has been on the ground during tho
past week and set a force of men at work
getting the mine and mill in shape for
steady work.
From the perusal OF the columns of the
Chloride Black Range, the Socorro Chief
tain, the White Oaks Leader and several
other mining county newspapers, one
would scarcely be led to believe that there
we're any mines being worked in the re-
gions around about where they are pub
lished.
Deputy Sheriff Muse Tuesday placed
an attachment on the Gold Hill custom
mill and all other property he could find
at Gold Hill belonging to the late firm Of
Whipple, Tonkin & Greenman to satisfy
the judgment obtained by j. M. Gaddls
-Lordsburg Liberal
The Ell Paso Bullion says of the Old
Abe mine at White Oaks that bona tide
offer of $3.50, 900 has been refused for the
NINE. At depth Of 100 feet the lead is
from to II feet wide, apd at that depth
nuggets OF gold weighing five or six ounces
are taken out.
Again we remark that it is good time
for the prospector who can do so as vel
as not, to get in some telling work fol
himself and do the country some good
by securing some good claims and devel
oping them sufficient to get them in shape
for market.-Cerrillos Rustler.
r. Z. Lund, in the interest of the
Eureka (mlning) company-Peters Wat
son, Lund & Hoyle-has found water on
Schells water claim and in Spring Gulch
in the Jicarillas. The company will put
up mill Immediately if there is water
enough. Oaks Interpreter.
The Bennett Amalgamator company, Of
Summit county, Colo, are operating near
Denver an electric dredging and ANAL
gamating machine; it is worked by a
single operator, and can be worked either
with steam or water. 1t is said that this
invention meets all the difficulties hither-
to associated with placer mining, and
will prove boon to miners in general.
There is room for trying it in Santa Fe
county's wonderful placer fields.
Georgetown note via Pinos Altos: The
Quien Sabe is d claim owned by Messrs.
Berry & Seibole and is bird. They have
shaft down 10 feet on assure vein,
and at forty-fve feet from the surface
they cross-cut about forty feet and struck
another vein two feet wide that gitters
with the needful. The ore from near the
surface in this mine brought $3.50 a
pound, and taken as it runs throughout
goes all the way from forty to 1000
ounces.
Kingston Shaft: The Brushheap mine
has four-foot face of quartz and tale in
one of its drifts which assays more than
100 ounces without sorting. We can not
say how much more it runs, but it surely
goes over 100 ounces. John
Carlisle and the Bowen brothers have
taken out OF their lease on the Bonanza,
in the last three months, 135 tons OF pay
ore. They shipped last week twenty
two tons for treatment to Denver. The
balance will be treated at the Troeger mill
at Hillsborough.
North of Cerrillos are vast fields OF
silver, lead and zinc. South are great
fields of placer gold, mountains of quartz
and pyrites, more or less rich in the pre-
cious metals, great bodies of copper and
ore leads of rich lead carbonates, heavily
laden with silver. On the southwest are
the wonderful coal fields from which the
best grades of coal are obtained. Is ii
not wonderful mineral country?-Rust-

tain, in Grant county, have just received
the returns from their last shipment Of
ore sent to Ell Paso; it ran 1858 ounces
in silver 7 ounces in gold and per cent
in lead. The same owners have quite q
quantity Of ore sacked up on the May
flower mine that will run about $40 to the
ton, which they are holding over for the
Flagler mill to start up.-Sentinel.
