Denver IT, Get in at Kingston
" ie Confidence
- mIne Notes.

David Ii. Moffat and Sylvester Smith
OF Denver, principal owners of tn
famous silver producers at Creede, hav
just purchased the gold Tunnel group 0
claims near Kingston, this territory
James Mccullough, OF Kingston, is thel
associate in the deal. The group consist
of five claims $25 900 was the purchase
price, 10 per cent being cash down.
The claims belonged to Wesly Peter
son and Frank Raborg, both old-tlme
prospectors and residents OF Kingston.
The claims are in the Kingston minerel
belt and are on TERRA Banco creek, seven
miles south of Kingston and one mile
and a half from the Log Cabin mine, a
steady silver producer. The largest
amount Of development on any of the
claims of the group is. on the Horn Silver
claim upon which it is estimated there Is
1000 tons of good free milling gold ore
that will pay large profits when machinery
is placed on the ground.
The formation of the mountain upon
which the claims are located is porphiry
and similar in character to that about
Deadwood, Dak., and there are evidently
large bodies Of gold ores in the mountains,
as side float is found all over it, and a
large quartz vein passes through it from
which sipments have been made to dis,
tant points and profit made to the own
ers. A good force OF men will be put to
work upon the properties next week, and
two tunnels will be run which will cut
the vein much deeper than any of the
old workings. The claims are we'll stu
ated, being only ten miles from Lake
Valley, the railway station, from which a
natural wagon road runs to the mines.
TERRA Blanca camp has always been
famous for its rich silver ore in the lime
belts, and now, with active development
begun on the gold mines in the porphyry
belt to the west, the outlook for that por-
ton Of the Kingston district is certainly
very hatterng. The district is now being
actively developed from the Cumberland
mine, six miles north, to the Log Cabin,
seven miles south.
MINE NOTES.
The Old Abe mine, at White Oaks, is
crushing 1,200 tons of ore per month.
The crusher for the Albuquerque electric
reduction plant has been ordered from
San Francisco. The Philadelphia crusher
did not meet the requirements.
H. j. Travers, mill wright expert from
the east, has gone out to put up the
Rogers smelter at La MADEIRA, fifteen
miles west Of San Pedro.
Santa Fe continues to dseline, and sold
at 15c. 1t seems to be generally conceded
that reorganization of the company and
an assessment on the stock is inevitable.

The Denver capitalist has never failed
to make money when he invests in New
Mexico mines. The recent investments
Of such men as D. H. Moffat and Syl-
vester Smith In the Kingston district, will
DO much to encourage other Colorado
men to enter New Mexico for invest
ments.

The last issue Of the White Oaks Eagle
says: Yesterday the Lady Godiva again
became producer and ore hauling COM
nenced. To-day milling began at the
Glass mill. Two shifts are driving new
evel night and day to cut the ore body at
fifty feet lower, preparatory to stopping.
1t is hoped that this mine may be able in
he future to develop rapidly enough to
warrant new mill before the end of this
year.
