A somewhat suspicious character in
the shape of a Mexican has been taking

There are a number Of good prospects in
this section owned by poor men contain
ing comparatively rich streahs Of miner

portation the owners have fSss been able

to assort their dumps and are getting
ready to supply the new mill.
Mr.. Chas. Wilkie, who is identified
with the new custom mill to be erected
at Lower camp, is too we'll known to
need any appreciation from my pen. He
is man of the highest integrity, and
his equal as a mechanic aud millwrieht
would be hard to find in New Mexico.
We predict for the new enterprise a
grand success.

ing his mine if suitable mill facilities can

never known mine to be handled more
practically or on better business prin-
ciples.

property is located on South Fork

and is showing up wonderfully we'll.

streak running way up in the hundreds.
This is splendid property and can be
made 10 produce handsomely.
