Arriba Counties.

new mining company has been Or
ganized in the San Pedro and Dolores
districts, with 7. F. Moore, j. G. Bald
ridge, F. G. Mckinney and A. W. Jones
as incorporators. Its purpose is to car
ry on gold mining, erect telegraph and
telephone lines and buildings and ac-
quire mining properties. The capital
stock is $4,000, divided into 100 shares
of $1OO each. Mr.. Mckinney is the in
ventor of a new process for extracting
gold from the thousands of acres of rich
placer gravel in Santa Fe county, and he
has been five months in the field expert
menting with small machine. The
process requires no water, but consists
of crushers, series of screens, jiggers
and amalgam plates, and on small scale
it has worked admirably. plant of
seventy-ive tons daily capacity is now
about ready to.start up, the motive power
to be furnished by Col. Moore's mules,
and should it prove a. success Santa Fe
county will not be long in becoming one
of the most famous gold producers in the
west.
ON THE oHAMA.
D. L. Gilmour, an old Colorado miner
who has made his headquarters for some
years back at durango, has been pros
pecting the Chama river placers. He has
located 600 acres near the Arroyo Seco,
48O in the canon below and another 4S0
near the English ranch, six miles above
| the Arroyo Seco. He was in town to-day
hot
"the Chama placers are over twenty-five
miles long counting from Abiquiu. At
places they are ten miles wide, and from
eighteen to thirty feet to bed rock. Out
on the mesas and away from the wash of
the river the top gold is as goodas at bed
rock. The mesa placers are the best
ever saw of their kind. In the river bed
the gold is better as you go down. Here
is q specimen, Showing the result of one
pan.) that came from bar above water
You see it is good heavy fake gold. That
ground will run over 50 to the yard
The average will be about ST., or $l.25
for the whole country"
elias the machinery which the presi-
dent of the Bucyrus company said would
start about September 20, yet arrived?
"When l left there it had not, but part
of it was expected at Chama to-day and
part is now at Pueblo. There is over six
tons weight in this machinery, and if it is
successful in saving the gold fourteen
other plants will be ordered as soon as it
can ge got to the ground.
"The Chama runs about 10000 miners
inches and if this machinery will save the
gold there is water enough to make the
placers the very richest ground in the
world. The gold, as You see, is coarse but
fakey. In Colorado they work much
poorer ground"

Henry WattersOn Sizes Up the Silver
Fight-Cleveland'sP Position.

Louisville, Ky, Oct. 16.--Henry Wat
terson sends from Washington a dis
patch to the Courier journal this morn
ing which declares that the president is
opposed to the continued
purchase of silver. He will listen to no
compromise with that end in view, and
will urge the fight to the close of this ses-
sion and the next. Mr.. Cleveland de-
cares that the Democratic majority in
the senate must not be ruled by the per-
sonal interest of selfish minority. He
says there is no question moro serious
than the question of the unconditional
repeal of the silver purchase law.

NEW MEXICO MINES.
GRANT coUNTY's BOAST.

Had New Mexico exerted herself in the
way of mineral exhibits, she could easily
have won ten or twelve additional prizes
at the Worlds fair as no state or terri
tory in the Union could successfully COM
pete with her as to quality and varied
production. New Mexico stands at the
head of the list in the production of rare
and valuable minerals and gems. The
turquois mines of Grant county are ad
mitted by experts to be the most valua-
BILE in the known world, while her produc-
tion of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc
will bear favorable comparison with any
other section known. Aluminium can
here be produced from the crude materi-
ais at a comparatively small cost, as our
deposits Of beauxite are simply mex

loads of fifty ounce ore to represent
that amount. And fifty ounce ore is not
