HERMOSA.

The rains which have fallen in this
vicinity are beginning to have effect
and cause the mountains to assume a
more greenishh hue than they have had
since last year, the good people pray
that there may be a continuance of
the same with more of it. Gurgling
waters flowing throughout the length
of the Rio Palomas would be a much
more welcome sight to the people, who
inhabit its banks, than only a few
watering places; and the cattle, big
and little, would find other watering
places than in the canyon, where the
mines and the miners live, and the cuss
words which some miner speaks, when
be finds that some old brindled steer
has chewed up his hat, or his Overalls,
or his socks, which he forgot and left
out of doors, would be unspoken and
his chances of a heavenly rest be not
impaired. The delight which an old
bay steer shows, when he gets hold of
an old pair of overalls, and the row
which his companions make in trying
to get them away from him, as they
run through the oak brush and STUN
BILE over old tin cans, has caused many
a ~sleepless hour for the hard working
and tired miner.
Several parties have gone out from
this camp hunting, fishing and pros
pecting. We have learned of one claim
located called the Grover Cleveland in
the gold camp but it is no good.

GRAFTON.

An old camp with a bright future is
Grafton with its immense assure and
contact veins of quartz whose wealth
has LAID dormant awaiting the ylgor-
Gus attack of the miners drill and
hammer; this must not be taken as
meaning that no work has been done in
and around Grafton in past years, for
there are many hundreds of feet of
work done upon the veins and off from
the veins, with a good showing made
for some of the work but most of the
work has been done in an i'll advised
n or in places where it would
not give the greatest returns for the
quantity of work done. Many of the
mining claims were held by their or
iginal owners, or by subsequent own
ers or l%ocators, at such a high price and
under such terms that persons want
ing to develop them could not or would
not 90 into the enterprise, but of late
a INSTRUMENTATION of mind seems to
have come to these owners and they
are ready to conduct business under
more favorable circumstances to those
wishing to develop the mining claims
and good terms for sales or leases can
be made, consequently there is a start
ing up of work and a taking out of ore
which will make Grafton one of the
best producing mining camps of Sierra,
the banner ore producing county of
New Mexico, and it is predicted that if
the owners of the mining claims will
make favorable terms for leasing or
sale, that production will be as con-
%tinuous as from any of the mining
camps in Sierra county. Grafton is a
gold as well as silver camp, free gold is
found in all most all of the veins with
which the country abounds, a steady
working of the mines will ensure a
mill and then the low grade ores can
be treated, there is no reason why one
or two mills should not run for years
on the ores of that part of the country
if the mines are only worked.
