NEW MEXICO MINES.

Hermosa, Kingston, Percha, Hillsbor-
ough and Lake Valley ores are rich and
easy to reduce.
With the two mills at Dolores also in
operation, south Santa Fe county's MIN
ing outlook was never so good.
This camp is still without resident as
saver, although presenting one of the
finest openings in the west for good one.
-Hillsboro Advocate.
Lead seems to creap up by very grad
uala scent, and the close at New York for
the week was $3.50 with every outlook
for still higher prices.
The dry placer fields of south Santa Fe
county are known to be underlaid with
water. Tubular wells will some day solve
the problem down there.
The Rio Grando Smelling company Of
socorro has offered So per ton for the old
iron broken off the pipe line at Cold
Springs. The smelter folks want it for
f1ux.-Advocate.
Mr.. Neal Gentry left this morning for
Pueblo, Colo, where he goes to attend
the opening of the Mineral Palace and to
look after mining property in the state.
Col. Glass will remain here for the pres
ent.-Cerrillos Rustler.
A new discovery of turquoise has been
made one mile south of Dan Tulloch's.
The specimens taken from the surface
groupings possess the requisite hardness,
but are lacking in the fine blue color 80

Eagle Camp, near Hermosa reports
On the Sd inst, large body of quartz ore
assaying 1854 ounces per ton was struck in
the Palomas Chief mine. This body of
quartz produces one ton of ore per day to
the man. Silver productions per day will
average 1900 ounces. Our great trouble
at present is to get transportation for ore.
The old Warrington mine at Cow
Springs, after some years of idleness,
again promises to come to the front as q
producer, under the auspices of Mr..
William Irwin, now the sole owner.
Under the Warrington regime the mine
produced nine tons of ore from twenty
feet of sinking that milled $140 per ton. -

Black Range notes: The latest il on
q
pipe Of ore producing ten tons of ship
ping ore to the man. Carleton and Lin
ton are sacking 1000 ounce ore. st.
Charles Bros. are shipping 700 ounce ore
from the old Cook lease. George Dewitt
and LaDstrum are taking out high grade
ore on the Embolite.
Silver City: Two OF the roasters are
now ready at the Flagler reduction works.
In about two weeks the rolls, roasters,
and acid works will be started up and run
xperimentally. The company expects to
spend between 500 and ] 900 tons of ore,
which it has, in EXPERIMENTS before start
ing regularly to work. In about three
weeks the sampling works will be ready
for running.
On or about the 22nd new discovery
was made in the percha country, near
Lake Valley. The surface ore assay ed az
high as 900 ounces in silver. Of course
this was not the average of the ore, but
the best OF it. However it is safe to say
that the average ore will run from fifteen
to forty-five ounces. The mineral also
contains lead and copper. The vein lays
between slate and limestone.
The Mammoth mill, at Pinos Altos, is
nearly all completed with the exception
of some tinbers for the stamps. These
have been sent for, and as soon as they
arrive, will be put in place. 1t is hoped
to have the mill running by the first OF
next month. There are now on the
dump some 700 tons OF ore which will
average about SIP to the ton. This ore
has been taken out in developing the
mine.
The investment Of over 81 ZOO, 900 in
mining interests in New Mexico, headed
by such men as Russell A. Alger, of
Michigan, marks new era in the min
