NEW MEXICO MINES.

Galloway and Alexander have made
another ten ton shipment from the Ell
nora mine, White Signal, to the Davis
mill at Gold Hill. The first trial ship
ment of four tons gave returns of N
ounces of gold, and concentrates worth
| 1854 per ton, the ore producing one ton
Of concentrates to every five of ore. The
ore shipped is taken from vein four to
| five feet in width, and would pay we'll if
only half as rich.
Since the favorable report of the cele-
brated mining expert, John p. Parrish,
on the Hllsboro gold district, this camp
is the talk of mining men everywhere and
a regular colony of capitalists may be ex-
pected here at any time. Mr.. Mallette,
the big mining operator of Chicago who
was here the other day, makes tho predic-
tion that Hillsboro will have a popula-
tion of 1000 people five years hence--
Hillsboro Advocate.
Mr. Enoch from the Jicarilla mining
district is here on business. He reports
that the Jicarilla camp is on the verge of
boom. About 800 men are at work on
lodes, presenting a lively appearance.
Fl. S. Comery & Bros. are putting up a
Huntington mill especially to work their
own ore. They have several hundred
tons of ore on the dump which it is
claimed will not run less than $40 to the
ton. It is free milling and they have suf-
icient permanent water, which was OBJ
tained by sinking about ninty feet deep,
for all milling purposes. Six wells have
been sunk in the camp and all of them
have good supply of water. This camp
is situated about eight miles northeast Of
White Oaks.-Las Cruces Republican.
The Texas mine at Central is working
eight men. The Enterprise says that the
owners, Messrs. Cartwright and Markley,
made big shipment of rich ore last
week, and already the ore house is filling
rapidly with ore of the same kind. The
vein is remarkable for its continuity.
From the dny it was first struck it has
been constant producer and payer. 1t
has never had single dollar of outside
money spend upon the claim, but has
paid for all improvements, consisting of
steam hosting works, ore houses, etc,
out of the mine. 1t has also reimbursed
the owners nearly the whole of the large
purchase price paid to the original loca-
tors, and has large ore reserves in sight
sufficient to pay dividends after the prop
erty has paid for itself in full.
The Arizona and New Mexico Lead &
Zinc company is making magnificent
success of its smelter at Hanover. The
Silver City Enterprise says that Bell Il
Stephens, of Pinos Altos, are shipping to
this smelter rich gold ore and concen-
trates, and John Spiller his concentrates
from the Pacific mill. From Lone Noun
tain, Frank Bisbee, Jack Frost, S. Tucker,
Rufus Bennett and W. Campbell are all
shipping rich silver ore to be melted. A
shipment of four cars of copper matte rich
with the precious metals was made last
week, and another shipment will be made
this week or next. This young enter
prise is lending an impetus to mining in
many of the adjacent camps, and with
the growth of the mining industry this
smelling project will continue to grow
in extent and value.
