is nearing completion and 1t will be
started up next month.
The Hanover copper mine has been
leased and is now being worked after
having been idle for several years. Some
very fine ore is being taken out.
The production Of the mines at Cooks
Peak is not as large as It was during the
winter, but there is good prospect that
/ the production will soon be increased.
Good ore is being taken out Of the
Texas and Grand Central mines at Cen
3 trail, and the owners expect to increase
the output considerably before the end
Of the year.
A The Southwestern Coal and Iron Com
8 pany has until the 10Th Of August TO
make the final payment on the Arson s,
4 mine, which was bonded to that company
4 some time since.
The Werny mine, which joins the Res
ervation mine at Gold Hill, has been
I leased to Smith and Sulschow. This
mine produces a good grade Of ore and
ought to pay well.
4 There are only two men at work in the
! Mineral Point Zinc C~ompany's mines at
Hanover. With a lower rate on ores a
large force Of miners would undoubtedly
be- put to work in the %company's mines.
The Pacific Gold Company is prepar-
ing to start up some Of the stamps in the
mill above town. They will all be start
ed as soon as the water company can
10 supply water for them.
About 800 pounds Of silver bullion
p we're shipped by the Mimbres Consoli-
dated Company from this place to New
York last week. The mill is now turn
ling out bullion at the rate OF about 200
n. pounds a week, and will be kept running
ie about two months.
P. B. Smith, owner Of the Volcano
Ia mine at STEMS Pass, has made a ship
st ment Of silver bullion. He commenced
the treatment of the second grade ore q
in short time ago by the lixiyiation process,
and now he has determined to enlarge
I'd the plant so that be will be able to treat
all the ore produced by the Volcano
NJ mine by hat method.
The commission which was appointed
~ several months ago by the secretary Of
the interior, to investigate the mineral
character of the Garlic mountains on
the Navajo reservation, has reported the
mountains barren Of mineral and the
commission has been dissolved. About
two years ago a large party Of prospec.
tors went into these mountains anC
brought back with them some very FINE
th mineral specimens. They reported thai
ais they found a fine mineral country. 1t il
simply a question Of veracity between
nd ~prospectors and a commission which
VS. spent but a few days on the reservation

brewing at Hanover came to a suddel

iron ore, thus practically prohibiting tn
shipment of iron ore from Hanover b
other than the Southwestern Coal an,
Iron Company, which is under the sam
management as the Silver City and North

interested in iron mines at Hanove
