The Mimbres Consolidated Company 1
shipped G61 pounds Of silver bullion from
this place TO New York last week.
Several men are at work at Fleming,
and the outlook for that camp is better
now than Il has been for some time.
The new sampler at Deming is receiv-
ing considerable ore and is thought that
a large smelter will be;ereoted there soon.
The output Of the mines at Hills
borough last week reached 415 tons.
Tho production Of the district is increas-
ing rapidly and the smelter and mills
there are taxed to their utmo8t capacity.
Work on the Colchis mill has not pro-
gressed. as rapidly as was expected this
summer, but DR.. Jenkins says that he
expects that it will be completed before
winter. Whom completed this will be
very important addition TO the mills here.
The Bremen mill has been in operation
week, but no cleanup has been made
yet. It is expected that the first brick
will be turned out about the first Of the
month. The mill is running on ore from
the Sherman mine, and there is enough
on hand for long run.
The Gold HILL mill was closed down
last week, but will commence this week
on a run Of ore from Patterson's mine.
The mine has been temporarily closed
down on account Of the death of Mr..
Patterson, but viii be started up again
as soon as his affairs can be strightened
up.
A good strike has been made in Nc
Dermott's mine west OF Carlisle. The
mine has been producing steadily for
some time,and the ore has been treated
in the Carlisle mill The ore which has
just been struck runs over 1900 per ton
and it is believed that there is a large
body of it in the mine,
Manager Wming Of the Flagler Works
is uncertain as to when the works will
be started. The low price Of silveris not
very encouraging to miners, and it is
doubtful whether ore enough can be OBJ
taihed to keep the works running. They
will not be started until a sufficient sup
ply to keep them running is assured
Quite a number Of mining men have
been in the city within a week, and some
interesting mining news may be expect
ed soon. The mineral resources Of this
section Of country are getting to be
known to Eastern investors, and the re-
suit will be that Eastern capital will be
invested here more literally than it has
been heretofore.
Some very fine ore is being taken out
of the Mitchell property in the Mangas
district. Considerable ore is already out,
and there is an immense quantity in
sight. A mill will be built as soon as it
is determined beyond question that there
is a sufficient quantity OF one which can
be worked at profit in the mine to JUS
tify the construction Of mill.
The Crawford Gold Extractor, which
was put into the Richmond mill at
Hillsborough recently, has been tried
and found to work satisfactorily. An
other mill OF the same kind has been
ordered, and it is expected that it will be
in operation within thirty days. The
capacity OF the mills at Hillsborough is
not sufficient to treat the milling ore
which the mines there are producing,
and it is found necessary to restrict the
production Of some Of them.
The strike Of lead carbonate which
was made in the Surprise mine at Cooks
Peak few weeks ago is turning out bet
ter than was expected. 1t is believed
that the ore body which was struck in
the Montezuma, an adjoining mine, If
the same as that found in the Surprise
Tais strike is the most important one
yet made in Cooks Peak district. The
Surprise is being operated by Poe ant
Ashenfelter and the Montezuma is leaseC
to James Martin.
The new Brockman mill at LoneMo
tain is one Of the largest in the County
but only ten stamps have been put in
If the first run is satisfactory, and ther,
is no reason to believe that it will b,
otherwise, more stamps will be put in
There is plenty of room in the mill 70
additional batteries, and power enough
to drive the stamps. There is a larg,
amount Of ore out at the mine and i'm
mense bodies in sight II the ore run
as well rs it is expected, it will be one o
the largest producing properties in th
Southwest. There are other mines a
t Lone Mountain which would undoubted
: ly pay handsomely if the ore could b
B worked at the camp.
TIE METAL MARKET.
Silver fluctuated considerably durin
!, the past week, but at tho close it wa
a only 3s higher than it closed the wee
before. Transactions we're small, excep
4 government purchases. The closin
: price was 82%.
o There has been no improvement in th
g price Of copper, notwithstanding the r'
striction in production. II still remain
a at IL 90.
a Lead is hrmer, with a better deman,
!. but the price has not improved. It
a still quoted 400.
Army Rife Practice.
The army rife practice is now in pr'
gress at Fort Bayard. The contestant
