takes fifteen tons of ore per day.
Each ton of common quartz ore
has about twenty to twenty-five
cubic feet in it. At thirty days
in a month, for six months, it
would take 270O tons of ore or
fifty-four thousand cubic feet of
ore to keep the stamps running.
The Wall Street, of Water Canon,
is doing this and could keep ten
stamps running for some time.
Talk is cheap, but it takes money
to buy saw-logs, and lots of ore to
run a mill. And when other plac-
es are doing their booming, re-
member that the Wall Street, in
Water Canon, is doing his.-So-

Col. T. F. Moore and Secretary
Miller are determined to put
through that telephone between
Santa Fe and Cochiti. Most of
the poles are in place, and they
say that it is going to be operated
whether the citizens take a fair
share of the stock or not. That's
the kind of enterprise that makes
the west progress.
Mr.. Jas. Browne, of Albuquer-
que, receiver of the U. s. land Of
fee at this place, under Cleve-
lands former administration, has
disappeared from his home. AS
Mr.. Browne is a printer by trade,
he is supposed to have found work
on some paper. Should any of
our exchanges be successful in To-
eating Mr.. B. they will confer a
great favor by notifying his fami-
ly.-Independent Democrat.
Hon. w. S. George came in
from Cooney last Monday. He
met with q severe loss two weeks
ago by the burning of his stable.
His loss was nearly a thousand
dollars, including two valuable
animals, buggy, machinery, etc.
He is very enthusiastic over the
opening of a road from Magdale-
ma to Mogollon, and states that it
can be put through for very little.
Industrial Advertiser.
Standard and Bonanza mills are
both crowded with ore and the
supply will exceed their utmost
capacity. The loss in the burning
of the Richmond mill will be felt
most severely by the small opera
tors who have been accustomed to
got their ore treated at low rates.
Competition has already raised the
price from 81 to $l.50 per ton, the
shippers holding more for priority
in treatment. 1t is TO be hoped
that the Richmond mill will be
speedily rebuilt and on a larger
scale than before, otherwise the
output of the camp must continue
to decrease.-Sierra County Advo-
cate.
The variety Of Hillsboro's min
eral is prominently displayed in
the recent discovery of enormous
beds of rich gravel and gold bear
ing cement in the placer district.
1t is to this source that we may
look for a considerable increase of
business in the near future, as it is
now certain that at least two large
mills are to be erected for the
treatment of the cement product.
Chicago capital will be very large
ly invested in this promising field
and operations will be conducted
on a very extensive scale.-Advo-
cate.
Last Monday night, Deputy
Sheriff Beaver saw three men loi--
tering about the doorway of Selig-
mans store, and having reason to
believe them to be crooks, he con
cealed himself in the Plaza to
watch their movements. Some
chance passer by noticed them
fooliug with the door and spoke to
policeman. The men became
alarmed and went away, and when
the door was examined some of the
material with which they had tax
en- an impression of the lock was
found sticking to the key hole. The
deputy sheriff was disappointed
by their failure to give him a
chance to nab them. Capital
