LOWER PECos.
An effort will be made next Sunday to
organize a society of the Y. P. y. o. E. in
Eddy.
The combined wealth Of the Colorado,
tnio arc English capitalists at Eddy last
week is estimated to be $50,000.000.
Water development attracts this sort Of
people.
According to the grand jury report the
Chaves county commissioners are con-
Quoting the affairs of the county in Il
| W. T. Doster will shortly commence
the erection of $4,000 thirteen-room
house on block IL, Stevens addition, for
Mrs. Farwell, of northern Michigan. The
number of new buildings for Eddy in
1898 will eclipse all former years and ex-
eel in value Improvements in any other
town Of this size.
The case of the territory vs. J. A. Tom
, linson, charged with selling liquor with
out license, which was tried in the dis
trict court of Chaves county on change
of venue from Eddy resulted in verdict
of ''guilty," and Judge Freeman assessed

lowed by law. The case was appealed to
the supreme court.
SIERRA COUNTY CRUMBS.
John Ryan is in charge at the Morning
Star.
The Eigty-fve has fine new - horse
power engine.
The Richmond MILL after some repairs,
resumes operations to-day on large &C.
emulation of ore.
During the past two months about fifty
miners have found steady employment at
the Animas Peak mines and that district
is booming.
The Hopewell mill is working on the
screenings from the Trippe and Home
stead dumps, which run from SS to SIS
per ton in gold.
The fourth level of the Opportunity
mine is now furnishing the Hillsboro
smelter car load of heavy ore day.
About $50 # of slopes are working in this
level, and besides the above it sends out
twelve tons of low grade concentrating
ore. This is pointer as to the value of
Hillsboro's mines.
The Kingston smelter has contracted
with Hillsboro mines for the copper ores
necessary to the process of matte re-
duction. At the same time the Hillsboro
snalter is receiving the manganese flux-
ing ores of Kington. Could a more signal
instance be given of the independence of
the two camps and the folly of Jealous
mutual nations?-Advocate.
Output of Hilsboro gold mines for the
week ending Thursday, April 6, 1893;
from the Standard Gold Mining d Milling
company: Snake mine, 165 tons; OPP
portunity mine, 100 tons; from the Good
Hope Bonanza Mining & Milling COM
pany: Bonanza mine, eighty-five tons;
Richmond, twenty tons; from the Amer
ican and all other mines forty five tons;
total, sos. This is the second time that
Hillsboro mines have passed the 500 ton
mark and it would seem that this is
permanent thing now.
GRANT COUNTY NOTES.
Preparations are being made for the
organization Of tennis club this sum-
mer and the local base ballists are deter
mined to have better base ball club than
the club which represented Silver City
last year.
The Sheridan mill in the Mogollons is
being put in running order and will soon
be started up on ore from the Little
Fanny mine. The Little Fanny has been
leased and bonded and the shaft is now
being sunk from the 1856 foot level to the
2S5 foot level. The mine will be thor
oughly developed by the lessees.
DR.. W. H. White and Israel King are
opening up some placer claims on Bear
creek, about twelve miles from Pinos Al
tos. The placers are Of considerable ex-
tent and the dirt is rich enough to pay
we'll to work. There is plenty of water,
and it is expected that these placers will
become large producers of gold this
summer.
Unless there are heavy rains soou it is
feared that the Silver City Water COM
pany will have to cut off the supply of
the Pacific mill. This is twenty stamp
quartz mill and gets its supply of water
/ both for the boilers and batteries from
the company's reservoir. The Pacific
mill is by far the largest consumer of
water in the city.
Fruit growers on the Gila and Mimbres
rivers report that there are excellent
prospects of large fruit crop if no dam
age is done by frost. Last year there was
frost in June which killed large por-
tion of the fruit on the upper Gila and
the crop on the Mimbres was not very
large. In some parts of this count I,
peaches are already set and fruit growers
are hoping for favorable weather.
A large number Of men are employed
on the irrigation ditch which will supply
water to irrigate the Mimbres valley. An
immense storags reservoir will be con.
