miles in length will be put in through
which the water supply for the plant
will be obtained.
The water company is not yet able TO
supply water enough for all the stamps
at the Pacific mill. Ten stamps we're in
operation last week, but it is thought
there will be water enough TO supply all
Of them in few days.
The Consolidated Mimbres Company's
mill on the Mimbres river, near George
town, will be closed down about the last
Of this month, and the company will sus-
pend operations in the mines. Miners
who hold leases will continue to work in
those parts Of the mines which have been
leased.
The Miles Standish mine at Lake Val
ley has been bonded TO Col. p Mother
sill for 10000. This is believed to be
the best mining property in Lake Valley
outside the mines owned by the Silver
Mining Company. Il has produced over
s25,0OO worth Of ore and is a very prom
ing mine.
The Flagler works here will not be
started up as soon as was expected early
in the summer. 1t was thought then that
the works would be In operation by the
first week in this month, but the mana
ger has not boen able to get a sufficient
quantity of ore TO justify him in starting
the works.
1t has been demonstrated that artesian
water can be obtained on Legal Tender
hill. While the water may not be fit for
domestic use it would answer for milling
purposes II Silver City ever becomes an
= important milling center, as is not at all
! unlikely, it may be necessary TO develop
this source Of water supply.
1t has been about a month since the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad
Company refused to furnish any more
) cars to the Silver City and Northern, and
. no ore has been shipped over the Silver
City and Northern since the cars which
were then on hand we're loaded and
shipped. Practically nothing is being
done in the camp, and the outlook for
the present, at least, is not very promis-
ing.
The Bremen mill will be started uI
q this week by w. H. Newcomb 1t has
been completely overhauled and repaired
and Huntington mill has been put in
which will about double its capacity
There are now between 300 and 400 tons
of ore in the mill. 1t is expected that
the mill will treat about 30 tons of ore q
day. This will give employment to &
number of miners, teamsters and mil
men.
The Brockman mill at Lone Mountain
will probably be ready for operation
next week. The mill will have a capa
city of about 80 tons Of ore daily, and II
q will be kept running on full time. This
n will make Lone Mountain livelier CAM
9 than it has ever been before, and il th'
b mill proves a success-aDd there is NJ
q reason to believe that it will not-it il
l. more than probable that more mills viii
p be erected there.
u The Colchis mill has been in course o
construction for a number Of years, bu
g now its completion is looked for at al
i early day A small force of men ba
r. been employed there for several months
$ but substantial progress has been made
Il and unless unforeseen difficulties SHOULD
present themselves the mill will be read,
for operation by the end Of the year.
:. il should be completed in accordance
with the present plans 1t will be the larg
: est mill in the Territory.
h P.J. Dodd, who has been at Cook
-s Peak prospecting for several weeks, cam
d in few days ago. He has struck fin
le body Of ore down there which assays 6
d per cent. lead and runs from 10 to
le ounces in silver per ton. This is abou
70 as rich as the richest ore yet found in th
camp. Mr.. Dodd has not yet made
IA shipment but is confident he has made
It big strike. He was one Of the luck
ID owners of the Alhambra, which was sol'
,r for 100000.
ID Last month the Montana tunnel wa
u. driven in 271S feet by the Manhatta
I'd Gold Mining and Milling Company.
rs is being driven by contract at S14 pc
re foot, and the company is paying NOR
es than as much as it costs per day 70
driving the tunnel in rent and salaries
so that it is costing the stockholdei
more than $50 for every foot of progress
nt made in the tunnel. At the rate wor
st has been going on for the past month
or will take more than six months to con
plete the tunnel, which is now in only
little over 400 feet.
~ ~ City taxes will become delinquent II
ks last day Of this month. Payments
far have been light, and it looks now
to though there would be a large deli
Ie- quent list.
