NEW MEXICO MINES.
Concerning Some of the Pay Prop
critics of Grant County-Develop-
ment WOrk-Ore Shipments.

All the mills and mines at Pnos Altos
are running regularly. and there are no
idle men in camp.
Miss Kate Thompson and her brother,
Robert, are working d prospect called the
Whitmore, and they have a two-foot vein
good ore. A sample lot will be sent
to Deming shortly to be tested at the
Corbett & Wyman works, says the Dem
ing Headlight.
Jack Frost has sold the dumps Oh the
Home Ticket, Lone Mountain district, to
the Ivanhoe smelter. The dumps are tho
outgrowth of twenty years. workings, and
are sufficiently rich to pay for being
hauled seven or eight miles and to be
smelted with little of any sorting.
Case and Upton are working the Com
fort, at White Signal, with good results.
1t has shaft fifty feet deep, and drift
is being ruiz twenty-five feet from the
surface. ton. and three-quarters was
recently worked and yielded ~ ounces
in gold. The Wolcott, belonging also to
Case and Upton, is copper and gold
property. The vein ranges from sixteen
inches to two feet and can be traced 1000
feet. 1t carries $15 to 500 in gold, and
is rich in copper.
VIM. Brahm is working the st. Paul, a
gold and silver property, ranging iron
seventy five to 100 ounces silver with a
small sprinkling of gold. This ore Is a
milling proposition and will be shipped
to the Deming sampler. Mrs. L. W..
Holsom has out ten sacks of ore from the
cold Blue" lead, which will easily run
800 to the sack in gold and silver. Both
these properties are in the Lone noun
tain district
The Texas mine is keeping up its rec
ord as the boss mine at Central and is
turning out the usual quantities of high
grade ore. The ore is increasing in value
as depth is reached, and the fortunate
owners are on the high road to fortune.
The property is being worked systematic
ally and returns from shipments are ex-
ceptionally encouraging. The Grand Cen
tral, the com panion mine of the Texas.
although not showing up as well as th.'
Texas, is counted on as one of the com
ing bonanzas, says thatneming Headlight,
tho ore being of the same quality and i'm
proving as development is being prose-
cuted This property changed ownership
last week, Lieut. Cartwright becoming the
purchaser. The property is dirt cheap
at the price, which is said to have been
$4,000.
F. X. Eberle, of Los Angeles, who spent
last week in the Mogolon district in
specting the property belonging to the
California company, has returned home.
He expressed himself as highly pleased
with the outlook, and, while not commit
ting himself, he spoke eencouragingly of the
future. It is his intention to continue the
tunnel on South Fork until connection is
made with the main tunnel, which is now
in about 400 feet. The main tunnel will
be driven to intersect the line shaft of the
Deep Down property, and No. 2 shaft will
be sunk 100 feet deeper. This additional
work will make the Eberle the best ventll-
ated mine in the camp and will block out
ground enough to keep a l0-stamp mill
running steadily for two years at least.
Mr.. Eberle does not state positively that
his company will erect mill, but develop
ment work is being done with that end in
view.-Deming Headlight.
The Native anG Rose copper mines at
Georgetown, the properties of j. A. Lucas,
j. j. Alvey and Jack Clark, now being
worked under bond to Denver parties, are
developing wonderfully. The shaft now
down about 100 feet shows up a large
body of exceedingly high grade ore, rang
ing from 5411a per cent to the pure native
article, being malleable. The ores carry
a streak of what is supposed to be platin-
um, but which has not yet been tested.
