HUNTING FOR GOLD.
Float bearing small quantity of gold
was discovered several years ago on the
flats east of Vaud, but nothing resulted
from the discovery. For some ten days
past several parties have been prospect
ing in that locality and have staked out
claim on the strength of finding what
they believe to be gold. The usual mys-
terious methods of miners have been
adopted, an old California prospector
employed and precautions taken to keep
the exact location secret. O. G. Myhre,
j. T. Uartigan, Mr.. Lowe and Mr.. Win
slow and five Others are interested. The
find is near the river.-Eddy Argus.
AS LARGE AS EVER.
All the mills at Pinos Altos are at work
and the results which are being obtained
are satisfactory. The output of the
camp is as large now as it ever had been
and the probabilities are that it will be
increased considerably by the end of the
year. There will be plenty of water to
keep the mills running for some months
to ceme.-Silver City Sentinel.
GRANT COUNTY pLACERs.
There are quite number of men at
work in the placers in the Burro noun
tains. The dirt is rich enough to pay
well and it is quite probable that com
pany will be formed to carry on opera
tions there on large scale. Water will
have to be brought some distance and at
considerable expense but the placers
are thought to be of sufficient extent and
richness to warrant the expenditure of a
large sum Of money TO get water on the
ground.
DEMAND FOR LEAD.
1t is expected that the Denver Ore
Sanpling Works will be started up again
in few days. The demand for lead ores
has increased considerably since the first
of the month and the outlook is more en-
couraging now than it has been for some
time.
GREAT ACTIVITY.
Mogollon and Cooney are the best
mining camps in New Mexico to-day, en-
ploying more men, paying out more cash
and producing more gold and silver than
probably any other place in all the south
west. The fifteen stamp mill of the old
reliable Maud s. mine, (the Colonial Min
ing Coz keeps steadily grinding away
day and night. Another fifteen stamp
mill keeps turning out gold and silver
bricks with equal regularity from the
Little Fannie mine. The new cyanide
process mill on the Deep Down property
has so far run with unqualified success
saving all the gold in the ore and as high
proportion of silver as is done by the
stamp mills at less cost; if after an ex
haustive trial this result is found to con
tinue, the mill will be doubled, or if
which seems unlikely it should turn out
Improbable, an amalgamation plant will
be substituted and the bullion output be
kept up. On Mineral Greek Capt.
Cooney's Eve stamp concentrating mill
will be finished within the next couple of
weeks to operate on the copper, gold and
silver ores of that part of the camp. Be
sides these mills a great deal of import.
ant development work is being done on
many other mines, notably on the Queen
and others owned by Capt. J. N. Sawyer
and Galveston capitalists.-Silver City
Sentinel.
