NEW MEXICO MINES.

Great activity exists in the Organ dis
trict.
All the coal mines at Gallup are now
being operated.
The Mammoth mill at Pinos Altos is
running steadily.
A public inspector of mines is needed
in New Mexico.
The Lincoln-Lucky mine is being sys-
tematically opened and large body OF
lead Carbonates is in sight.
Everything looks exceedingly bright
and encouraging at San Pedro. Last
month the CompanY's smelter turned out
300, 900 pounds of copper matte, averaging
70 per cent, and also shipped to eastern
markets one car load of bullion copper,
running 81 per cent copper, As 410 ounc-
es of silver and Is Ito ounces of gold TO
the ton. The smelter has just been over
hauled and is again in full blast with the
prospects that this months run will be
larger than ever.
The newly organized Tuerto Copper &
Gold company will soon begin operations
in south Santa Fe county, erecting large
smelter near Tuerto mountain.
1t is said that the coal shippers of Ger
rillos are at last getting down to business
by pooling prices, and that no coal will
now be loaded on cars here for less than
$275 ton.-Rustler.
The Aztec Mining company now keeps
five eight-horse teams constantly on the
road hauling down about thirty tons of
ore day from its mines at Pinos Altos to
it's mill here.-The Pinos Altos.
At the Flagler works IN this city defects
in the coke tower have been remedied
and everything is running smoothly. Mr..
Mr.. Waring intends to treat Chloride ores
for as low as 81 per ton, while the charge
for base ores will be as high as $40 per
ton.-Silver City Sentinel.
Says the Pueblo Ore and Metal Review:
New Mexico copper resources are as yet
practically undeveloped, but enough has
been done to indicate that Arizona will
one day have formidable competitor in
her eastern neighbor. Schemes of devel-
opment are pending now and will come
to the front in good time.
A new strike has been made five miles
south of Kelly by Eltugio Baca and others
that runs $2S. IS silver and $113.SS in cop
yer, making total of $l42.23 value per
ton. This property has been named the
National and seems to be a bonanza
The pay streak is from two to four feet,
in vein about ten feet between the wall.
-Socorro Chieftain.
The Conger mine, near San Pedro, is
doing we'll and running steadily, having
plenty of ore to keep the mill running
constantly. They have commenced to
put some machinery in and make some
repairs on the Huntington mill. Mr..
Conger speaks very highly of that style
of mill, and practically speaks well of the
No 5 mill of that make, but the mill he
is operating is one size larger.
Too much can not he said in favor of
patenting valuable mining claims. In
the long run it saves the owner both
money and labor, besides atfording him
that security that assessment work can
not give. 1t also gives investors better
opinion of the property. There are lots Of
capitalists who do not deem it worth
while to investigate a property with a
view to purchase whose owner himself
does not deem of sufficient value to pat
ent ana protect.
There is every probability of the final
success of the efforts now being exerted
to bring the miners of the southwest
together in convention at Ell Paso to pro.
test against the alien act as applied tc
territories and to memorabilia congress in
favor of the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver. 1t will not be a convention Of
monied mining men simply, but a con
vention of the bone and sinew of the
shaft and tunnel as well. In short, it is
convention Of men in any way connect
ed with our greatest of all industries
Sierra county will be there in full force tt
helpth good work along Sierra Count!
Advocate.
