west. The fifteen stamp mill Of the old
reliable Maud 9. mine, (the Colonial
Mining Coz keeps steadily grinding away
day and night. Another fifteen stamp
mill keeps turning out gold aud silver
bricks with equal regularity from tho
Little Fannie mine. The new cyanide
process mill on the Deep Down property
has 80 far run with unqualified success
saving all the gold in the ore and as
high a proportion Of silver as is done by
the stamp mills and ut a less cost, il aft
er an exhaustive trial this result is found
to continue, this mill will be doubled, or
il (which seems unlikely it should turn
out Improbable, an amalgamatiou plant
will be substituted and the bullion out
put be kept up. On Mineral Creek
Capt. Cooney's five stamp concentrating
mill will be finished within the next cou-
pie OF weeks to operate on the copper,
gold and silver ores Of that part OF the
camp. Besides these mills a great deal
OF important development work Is being
done on many other mines, notably on
the Queen and others own cd by Capt. j.
N. Sawyer and Galveston capitalists.
On the Little Fannie mine which is
being leased and operated by II. r Hi
dreth OF st. Louis, a magnificent body
Of ore has been opened up. The mill is
being run on ore from the east drift
which run $50 a ton; the monthly out
put of bullion from this IS now about
$4,000, with a net profit OF about $1,000;
while the development which is
gong on in the west drift is opening
up a big body Of fine 800 ore on which
stoping has not yet begun.
Development Is being quietly pushed
ahead on the Cooney mine and some ex-
tremely high grade ore has been unex-
pectedly run onto in making an upraise
from the main shaft. The first sample
taken from this point rau $1,000 a ton.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilkie have moved back

The new, four horse, fast freight line

t Hay cutters are busy between this
g place and Deming aud the prospect is
K that there will be a plentiful supply Of
