, WHITE OAKS.
n The White Oaks Eagle reports a yer
), rich strike of gold ore on Baxter noun
/. tain, that camp, on Tuesday last. TIL
discoverer had been working on the su,
face for some tims trying to locate th
lead which he was cofdent existed there
: The ore is in place and was exposed fo
! eight feet on ths surface. 1t is very ric
and promises to be the nueus of anothe
bonanza.
/ The North Homestake company hav
mustered everybody about town wht
, knows how to mine and wanted iol
temporarily into their service, and ar,
pushing things with whoop, running
the Old Abe mill while that com pany
mine is being repaired. This mill is
rock eater and its twenty stamps art
dropping at near hundred-a-minntt
gait day and night on good ore.
! Owing to some necessary changes il
the plan of repairs at the Old Abe mine
it may be the 1st of may before that
property is again started up. A cage
will be put in the shaft and other i'm.
portant improvements made in and
about the mine.
LA BELLE.
The veins of this camp are true fis-
sures trending northeasterly and south
westerly, measuring from thirty to one
hundred and thirty-fve feet across, and
carrying the whole width gold bearing
quartz.
The walls are diorite and trachite. The
quartz pans we'll and runs from $40 to
$50 ton. 1t is In some instances i'm
pregnated with iron pyrites assaying
from 50 to $l2 per ton. Shafts are down
to seventy feet and tunnels in to 100 feet.
The district covers over 200 square
miles and is a perfect paradise for the
prospector. Capital once turned loose
on this district, erecting stamp mills and
cyanide works, which will best treat
these vast bodies of ore, untold millions
will be turned out.
CocHITI DISTRICT.
Chas. Bonsal receiver of the Washing
ton mine, will let contract for fifty
foot shaft on that location. The Wash
lngton never has been worked beyond
the necessary assessment, but is the best
looking property in either canon, says a
Cochiti correspondent.
The Iron King people have commenced
work. They have started large size
working shaft sinking on the lode until
they reach depth sufficient to warrant
their drifting on the vein. Hosting
machinery has been ordered and will be
put in running order upon it's arrival.
There is considerable talk of making
some changes in the mill at Allerton by
the owners of the Iron King and trying
to treat their ore there.
Bob Marksburry has contract on the
North Star, an extension of the Washing
ton, and commenced his work about the
18th. This property continues to hold
Its own and many think it is improving
by every foot of development work done.
Mr.. Lowthisn, who is largely interested
in this property, is expected in the COM
ing week.
Mr.. Beckman left Bland this week to
look after the shipment of his machinery
for the new mill. He assures the people
that he will have it across the Rio Grande
before the water gets high enough to in
terfere. He stated before leaving that he
was much more favoraby impressed with
the district on his second trip than on his
first.
SAN PEDRO AND GOLDEN.
Several fine nuggets we're found last
week in the placer diggings between Golden
and San Pedro. The diggings present
quite lively appearance as people are
focking there from the surrounding
couLtry. On Saturday nights the mer-
chants of San Pedro and Golden do
rushing business and it does persons
eyes good, says the Cerrillos Rustler, to
see the yellow dust pass over the counters
in exchange for goods. Every miner has
his "goose quill" of gold representing
the pay for his weeks work.
D. E. Murphy, capitalist from Mil
waukee was in Golden last week, liquidat-
ing the indebtedness of the San Lazarus
Gold Mining company, of which he is a
heavy stockholder. Mr.. Murphy was accom-
panied by j. Flournoy, a practical min
ing man of albuquerque. They made
through inspection of the mine and mill
and expressed the utmost satisfaction as
to the great value of the property.
Messrs. Sullivan and Gibbons are
down 40 feet on the Ray G lode at San
Pedro, and the ore they are leaving on
the wall as they sink is just like the
Goldsmith and Cuchillo ore, which
claims join the Ray G on the south.
Placer miners are paid at San Pedro
according to the luck they encounter in
finding the pay streak. The wages general
ly are $3.50 and $500 per day, the miners
receiving their pay every evening. A cor
respondent of the Cerrillos Rustler states
that men are employed as soon as they
reach the diggings.
