Judge W. I. Thornton's development of
the Stephenson Bennett mines, Organ
mountains, is showing up increased bodies
of ore. There are now from 1000 to 5000
tons of concentrating ores on the dumps
of the Bennett and nearly half that
amount on the Stephenson. The con-
contractor, which is constructed just below
the mouth of the tunnel, is approaching
completion, but will not be in shape to
treat ore before the new year. 1t is a.
well equipped and complete plant with
capacity of about fifty tons per day.
Tramways have been constructed SO that
the ore can be landed in the concentrator
at minimum COST A hoist for working
below the tunnel level is already on the
ground. 1t was the intention to put in
an engine near where the hoist will be
located, at the point where the tunnel in
tersects the Bennett vein, but Judge
Thornton has about concluded to use
compressed air as the motive power and
furnish it from the concentration. Santa
Fe citizens who are interested with Judge
Thornton in this enterprise appear to be
satisfied that its outlook Is very bright
