Mining and Milling.

The hearing of the mining case Of
Eberle va. Carmichael is in progress at
Socorro before Special Master Williams.
Eberle located three claims joining each
other on the Queen lode in the Silver
Creek district and, instead Of doing as
sessment work on each of the claims,
did all Of the work on one claim. The
remaining two claims were jumped by
Carmichael. The question at issue is
whether work done on one OF a group of
claims will hold the other claims. The
claims in litigation are very valuable
and the case will undoubtedly be taken
up on appeal regardless Of the decision
of the Socorro court. Thos. b. Catron
and ]. s. Snifen represent Eberle and
T. +. Conway and II. L. Picket represent
Carmichael.
Sunday Messrs. Hobbs and Dunlap
were working in p. H. McDermott's
mine at Piedmont. They were in a
drift and had among other things q
number Of caps, ten pounds of black
powder, fifteen pounds OF giant powder
and a lot Of fuse. In some manner un-
known one Of the caps was exploded
This set off the other caps, which were
in a gold pan, and the black powder was
ignited and flashed, the flash set the
giant on fire and it all burned up. When
the first cap went off it knocked the men
down. About the time they got ur they
started to run and we're knocked down
again. just what happened and how il
happened they are not certain, but when
they got out neither of them felt like
sitting down. They came to LordsburR
Monday and DIR. Clark picked a number
of pieces Of caps, quartz aud gold pan
from that portion of their anatomy
which vas most exposed when they
we're running away. One piece OF gold
pan about as large as sdime was buried
nearly two inches deep In Hobbs leg
Western Liberal.
Col. Willis j. Hulings, accompanied
by his brothers w. Howard and Arthur
A., arrived in the city this week to look
at the Atwood property in which their
father was largely interested before bis
death. Jas. Pearson, a mining engineer,
is here with them. They intend Inves-
tigating the property thoroughly and Il
they come TO the conclusion that it can
be worked proftably they will go at it tC
get out some Of the money that Other
men have dropped in that shaft-Lib-
eral.
The Pyramid Silver Mining Company
shipped a car load Of concentrates last
week. The company's property is look.
ing better than ever before.
A contract has been made with james
Tong to sink the shaft on the Jim Grow
mine near Carlisle $50 feet deeper. TIT
shaft is down about 40 feet 80 that whel
the contract shall have been completes
the shaft will be down nearly 800 feet
The mine was sold some time ago ant
the deed was placed In escrow Pendlnl
the development Of the property by th
purchasers. The final payment is to b
made next April when the deed will b
delivered. Considerable development
work will DO done before that time.
Shipments Of ore from Cooks Pea
have not boon very large lately on a.
count of the fact that the railroad con
pany cannot furnish cars enough /
which to ship the ore. The mines /
that camp are looking we'll and it is o,
peoted that the shipments this mont
viii be larger than ever before.
The big discovery OF zine ore whic
was reported near Marlborough a 70
weeks ago turned out to be WORTHLESS
lQuite q number q mines we're locate
