Ore shipments from Cooks Peak have
been steadily increasing for tho pact two
months and now the daily shipments
reach nearly 100 tons 81 ore. Some
very important strikes have been made
there this ummer and there 10 more
lead orc IN sight IN the mines there now
than IN any other camp in New Mexico.
Felix Ieavick arrived from Denver
last week and has been trying to get the
title 70 the Confidence RropRo o. mines in
the Silver Creek district perfected. As
soon as tins 10 done a large mill will be
erected for the treatment dforsa ct the
mines. The propafty has scarborough
" developed and It Ia estimated that
there is over a million dollara worth Of
ore in sight The plans Tor the mill are
all ready and when It Is completed 1t
will DO the largest mill 10 the Territory.

Orc is being purchased IN considerable
quantities at the Deming sampiing works.

satisfactory TO miners who have ore 70
sell.
Th9o is not much prospect that either
the Pacific or Aztec nail here will be
started very soon. The water company
cannot furnish water enough to supply
the Pacific mill and the seasop has been
80 very dry that there il little prospect
that the mill can be started for several
months yet. The work on the Montana
tunnel has progressed 90 slowly that
there is not much prospect that the vein
will be struck before. nextbprinRi and in
that event the mill will not be- started ar
before some time next summer as it will
take some weeks to open up the vein and
get the mine in shape TO produce ore
enough to keep the mill supplied
The total capacity Of the ore reducing
plants now completed here is more thar
200 tons daily, but only one mill has
been running recently and that has a ca
pacity Of only about 80 tons Of ore pei
day. Searity Of water and the low pricC
Of silver are operating very materially Il
the dstriment Of the mining interests o.
this section. II a fair price could b
obtained for silver the Flaelsr works herr
would be in full operation and the com
pletion Of the Coldhis mill would b.
fastened, but with silver under IS cent
an ounce the tiagler works cannot be
operated and there is no reasons Or push
ing work at the Colchis mill because il 4
not probable that it could be .operatet
proftably with silver at its present
price.
