MINES AND MINERS.
This week we, met Senor Joaquin
NaiZ, of the firm of MaiZ 4 Bros,
who is the owner of a number of
mines in the Sierra Madre and
CerralVO mountains.
He has been for a number of
years working the San Pedro mine,
which is situated in the Sierra
Madre about ten miles south of
Monterey. This mine turns out
silver, lead and iron ore and the
out put is sixty tons a day.
They get the air out through a
1000 foot tunnel and down the
mountain by an air cable wire rope
which is l443 feet in length. They
are now putting in 400 foot train
way which is connected with the
air cable, and from the lower end
of the train, way, they are put
ting up another air cable wire
rope which is 1882 feet long.
This will carry the air
down to the foot of the
mountain, and is hauled from there
on carts to the Guggenheims
Smelter. They have twenty cars
hauling daily, nine mules to a
cart, and each cart holds three
tons of ore.
They are now working 300 men,
but as soon as they get the train
way and the other air line cable
wire rope finished, they will double
their forces and get out l2O tons Of
ore per day.
They are working in the
CerralVO District the La
Blanca, La COnstancia, La
Tigra Tigra (thutiger) and
other mines. Those mines are
about 100 miles from Monterey.
They haul the ore to the Monterey
smelterS. They have only been
working their mines but a few
months; they are developing them
and have only been getting out
800 tons of ore month. Mr.
Joaquin MaiZ, who is the general
manager and the head of the firm
of MaiZ Il Bro. has unlimited
| capital to carry on the business.
He is going to push the mining
business for all that they
are worth. He will put all the men
that can be handled to work then.
He is one of the largest stOckhold-
erS in the NueVa Leon Smelling
and Refining company Of Monterey,
the first smelter that was erected
here, and its secretary and treasu-
rer. He is young man full of
energy and enterprise, and one of
the most popular and successful
business men in Montery.
