Fearfully cold weather in this neck Of
the woods- Ton below zero.
Mining news Is very scarce. The
Maod s. anu It'll N4hnie are running
on full time, both are doine their level
best and with grand results.
A card from Mr.. Anderson, headed
"a Denial from the Mogollons,n was
published In a recent issue OF the SEN
rrtErs Ny poor intellect fails 70 see
whore the denial comes in. The fact
remains that the Deep Down mino and
mill are closed, and we have one Of the
owners word for IL, that IL was done be-
cause the cyanide process did not PROVE
satisfactory. That is all 1 know about
&C. I am not competent TO judge on the
merits Of the new process, but / am COM
petont to see that the mine and mill are
shut down. Mr.. Anderson admits that
the ores OF the Deep Down are wet and
clayey, and that they require drying, in
volving a large expense thereby. Yes,
that's where the trouble comes in, Carl.
All Mogollon ores are vet aud clayoy,
aud require drying, andthat Is why your
process IS not adapted 10 them. You
seem TO have an idea that your process
is all right bat that the ores are all
wrong. Another version OF the prophet
and the mountain. We can change the
process but It is utterly impossible to
change the character Of the ore. He
also says that he saved seventy two per
cent of the silver. Well, We can beat
that with smalgamation, and do about
as well with the gold, and don't have to
go to the expense Of drying the ores,
either.
The Little Fannie management sus-
tanned a heavy loss in the death of their
foreman, Dir. AL Young, who was foully
murdered here recently. MI. Young
was a thorough and experienced miner,
AID one OF natures noblemen as we'll.
The habit Of carrying guns indiscrimi-
nately should be discontinued. There
Is a law prohibiting it, aud il our officers
are unable to carry u the law they
should resign.
The blue bloodod sosquistadores who
are administering the affairs Of Socorro
county, are o~opdescending enough to
receive our shekels in the payment OF
unnaturally high taxes, but when it
comes to donating a dollar toward our
roads or the building Of a jail, the in
difference shown by them is something
sublime.
Taxation without representation"
that's what our forefathers objected to
and that was why they tanned the Brit
ish hon, and formed a country Of their
own. The same state Of affairs prevails
in this locality, and some Of these 6ze
days we will form q county Of our own.
Socorro papers please copy.
Mr.. Fred Gusosky and his charming
bride are among the latest additions to
our society.
Hank Winnie, the incorrigible, having
been confined to his bed with a severe
attack Of pneumonia, is again among the
cOnVblebcenJ.
You may look for a big boom in the
spring; we have the mineral and our
mines are improving with depth.
Real estate In the town Of Mogollon
is really advancing in value. Lots which
were given away two years ago are now
selling for 800.
Sickness is on the decrease, owing to
the untiring efforts OF our efficient DR..
Claypole.
A new mill is on the tapis, and it will
not be far from the forks,
And now good bye; news Is very scarce
and its dangerou to manufacture any, es
p%ecially in this burg.
