is being worked by Cinnamon. Besides
this, there lie very little work being done
in the camp.
The Bell & Stephens mill at Pinos
Altos Is running - hours a day on ore
from the Ohio mine. The mill would be
run "a hours a day II there was a sufa-
cient water supply.
Work will be resumed on the Grand
Central mine at Central this week. The
recent strike IN the Texas, which joins
the Grand Central, indicates that good
ore may be found in that mine.
wagner's mill was running last week,
and the Mammoth mill is running stead
lily. The outlook for Pinos Altos is
getting brighter, and it is probable that
the camp will show something Of its old
time prosperity before the end OF the
year.
The Standard Company, which built
the new smelter at Hillsborough, will

the employ of the Teel & Poe Mining
Company In the capacity Of assayer and
surveyor, left Wednesday for Villaldama,
Mexico, where he will enter the service of
La Compania Minera Ell Carmen. Mr..

Ore is being hauled to the Bremen
mill in large quantities by w. H. New
comb, lessee. He is confident that he
} will be able to treat the ore at a good
profit. The mill has been idle since
! last winter, when the Grant County
, Mining and Milling Company suspended
operations.
t, Several shipments Of ore have been
made from the mines in the Tres Her
manas, south Of Deming, recently. This
/ camp has produced but small quantities
of ore for the past six or eight years, bui
since there is a market for ore at Dem
I. ing now, it is likely that the production
of the camp will be largely increased.
A good strike has been made a
Georgetown by the lessees Of the Hintor
mines. The ore is silver chloride anC
= the strike promises to liven up the camp
considerably. Mr.. Hinton has expended
+ a large amount Of money in developing
q the property which is believed to be al
good as any which has ever been WORKED
in Georgetown.
Hollomon, Ross & Korn are taking on.
some very rich silver ore from the Texai
r mine at Central. A shipment was madI
t to the Deming sampling works a few
t days ago which was very rich in nativ,
silver. Several tons Of the ore hsV'
? been taken out, and many of the speci
mems are full Of wire silver. The min,
is looking more promising than ever.
Mr.. j. A. Cunningham brought in som,
ore to be assayed by the Demipg Or,
Sampling Works, on Thursday last, from
, the Cedar Grove Mining District, q
miles southwest of Deming, which wa
! found to run 1Ol ounces in silver, no lead
and but a trace of copper. The ore il
easily accessible, and there are gooC
indications of large quantities of i
that it is a pure silver mine. Tn,
mine is owned by Mr.. Geo. Knox, leaset
and worked by Mr.. Cunningham-Hean

The Manhattan Gold Mining and Mill
r ing Company is having considerable diff
Rculty in driving the Montana tunnel I,
r the main vein. After the tunnel reached
a a length Of about 400 feet the air becam,
so bad that it was necessary to put in
fan TO drive air into the tunnel. Afte
this had been put IN 1t was found tina
the fan was not large enough to suppl,
d air to keep the miners at work steadily
and a larger fan will have to be put in
So far only two shifts have been at work
and the men have not been able to worl
steadily on accoun of foul air. With
IS larger fan to drive air into the tunnel, l
t. is hoped that three shifts can be put Of
Is and that the men can be kept at worI
Is steadily.
