MINING In GRANT.
Development of Gold, Silver, Copper,
Zinc and Iron Mines-IvanhOe
Smelter = Building Ore
Bins-Shipments.

Iron mining has been started at Han
over again since the Silver City & North
ern railroad has been repaired, and four
cars of iron ore are being daily loaded
and shipped,
1000 ton ore bin is being built al
the Copper Queen mine at Cooney. AS
soon as this is finished grading will be
begun for 15-stamp mill, which will be
put in as quickly as possible. This will
add largely to the production of the
camp.
The Mineral Point Zinc company has
resumed work at Hanover, and re-started
shipments with car of zinc ore yester-
day. The ore goes to Mineral Point, Wis,
and other shipments will follow regularly
Arrangements are being made to open up
and ship ore from other zinc claims in
this district.
The Ivanhoe smelter started up again
on Wednesday last, after being shut down
for few days while the boiler was being
repaired. It is working along steadily,
putting through forty-ive tons of ore a
day. The company running this fur
mace is employing and paying out money
to about 1875 men-no inconsiderable item
in the present condition of increasing
prosperity in Grant county.
Development is being steadily pushed
on the Maud s. mine at Mogollon. A
strike of some very rich ore has been
made in the bottom of the mine within
the last few days. This property has been
fortunate both in its manager, Col. Z. G.
Bennett, and its foreman, Ralph E. Gun

are quietly developing their property anG
waiting for the future rise in silver.
Two men have been steadily at wori
lately on Alex Moorehead's Agnes group
of claims on the west side of the Pinos
Altos mountains. A large amount'of sur.
face development has been done. Several
shafts have been sunk from thirty to
sixty feet deep, and numerous cuts snd
drifts have been run. The vein generally
shows up from eighteen to twenty-three
| feet in width. The ore carries goCa per
centage of copper, and runs we'll in both
gold and silver. No stopping is being done
all work being put into development. On
the adjoining claim south, the Red
mine, shaft is down 1876 feet, showing
the same kind and quantity of ore. Eight
thousand dollars worth Of ore was hauled
from this mine down to Oak Grove in
1882, when the Paschal smelter was at
work, for treatment. These properties
promise to become big mines with devel
| opment, and the owners are doing wisely
in opening them up extensively.-Silvei
