Der Of Mexicans are washing gold IN San
Domingo gulcb, whore they have been
able to get water enough for their pur-
pose.
The Deep Down mill at Morollon 10
only running about a quarter OF IT'S time
OF present owing TO the scarcity Of water.
A quantity Of pipe has been ordered, and
water enough will be carried to the mill
TO enable it TO keep running steadily.
The mills at Pinos Altos are running

On the Whitehall & Murphy claim
near the Texas mine at Central a shaft
is being sunk through the country rock
to tap the vein. The shaft is now down
some fifteen feet and at about fifty feet

that well known Central mipe, the Texas
at present. A small force OF about 8 men is
being kept at work developing, and keep
ing the water out Of, the mine. Even
thus the mine 10 paying it's own expen-
SOS.
The McAllister mill at Central was
started yesterday on-al run Of 10 to 50
tons Of ore from the sdtaPe Bros Gulch
t.mine. On the resuls5a0f this run will
depend what The MesfA Savage Will do
with tho mine in the fftprs. The returns
will DO awaited with interest.
A quantity Of 4-ineh pipe has boon
shipped out to the Sheridan mill at
Cooney. Tho stamps have not been run
ming full time Of late owing to the scanti-
ness Of the water supply, but there is
abundance of water which can be

that the works will only shut down fol
clean-ups.
Ore is being taken cut Of the old Iven.

from the $50 foot levelto the east shaft
They expect to go about 80 feet befor
making the connection. There is a goo'
deal of line ore IN sight with native Hilye
mixed oil through it, IN addition to th.
mine they have a neat 8 ton smelteI
where they smelt all their richest ore
They also have a, Mexican furnac,
where they retort. To say the least thu

the mine In good shape and, notwith

The most Important mining deal mad,
in Silver City for sohis time was com
pleted on Saturday when Nathaniel Bel.

from Pinos Altos that day and completes
the deal by paying over tho money
There are still three-hfths of the min
owned by other men, but the purchas
Of this interest by Mr.. Bell probably end
