A WORLD BEATER.
Amizett, the Cripple Creek of New
Mexico, Showing Great Activity
in Gold Properties.

Little or no snow has thus far fallen
in the Taos mountains, and Amizett, the
new gold camp, is showing remarkable
activity in the development of gold prop
critics. The Amizett Miner comes to
hand to-day full of good things about
this region. New strikes and sales
chiefly to Colorado PARTISAN of daily
occurrence and the future for the whole
Taos range seems to be particularly
bright. Colorado men cay that that
state will send an army of not less than
1000 pRospEoroRs
into this part 81 New Mexico during the
coming four months. $751;.
The Daily Mining Record of Denver
devoted column to Amizett last Satur
day. 1t is we'll written article and truly
says that the finding of a poor, lone Gre
vice containing small portion of gold
in Colorado will produce stampede of
hundreds of prospectors while good
find in Amizett, being daily occurrence,
produces no excitement.
GREAT PROPERTY.
Says the Antonito Ledger:
III. j. Sisty, who is managing the
Lillian mine on the head of the south
branch of Red river and across the ridge
from Amizett, came IN yesterday morning
from the north expecting to 60 to the
mine, to-day's squall caused him to change
his mind. Mr.. Sisty has great confidence
in the Lillian. He has followed mining
all his life and says this ia the biggest
thing he ever saw. The vein is ffty-two
feet wide. A test of three sacks of ore
gave - o., gold, 40 OF. silver, and IS

from Antonito last week from which re-
turns have not yet been received"
