Work at La Belle.

The stamp mill at Cooney will soon be
started up for long run.
The Keystone tunnel, La Belle district,
passed the 400 foot mark this week. Four
veins have been cut, all of which are gold
bearing. Fire assays range from $5.16
to 1910.
An important and valuable strike has
been made in the lower level of the Rich
mond mine, at Hllsboro. A streak of
from twelve to fourteen inches is exposed
that runs 1922 ton.
Frank Kline and G. Sharp have leased
the Bragaw mill at Gold Hill and are now
at work getting the mill in shape to run.
jesse Keister will furnish the mill with
ore from the Nancy Lee mine; other
mines will be kept. running full time
Silver City Enterprise.
The big mill at Whitewater is kept
pounding steadily on Confidence ore.
Something in the neighborhood of seven
ty-five men are constantly employed at
the mine. Bullion shipments to Silver
City are as regular as clock-work and
everything about the camp wears salts
fed business-like aspect. The teams are
kept busy hauling ore to the big ore bins,
and there is no danger of shortage in
the supply, says the Deming Headlight.
Car tracks are being put in the Edison
tunnel and every preparation is being
made to take out ore. For the past ten
months they have been putting the
property IN shape for this purpose. The
shaft and tunnel below have been con
nected and ninety feet of the vein has
been exposed for stopping ground; ore
bins have been built and trap doors put
in 80 that the ore will slide directly into
the cars which in turn dump into the bins.
The property is now in shape to produce.
La Belle Cresset.
A prehistoric mine, which was evidently
worked in early days, has been discovered
in the Ladrone mountains, south of here,
and Major W. H. H. Llewellyn, who con-
trolls the property, has gone to Denver to
organize company and work the mine
ON an extensive scale. The ledge, which
is of decomposed quartz, is over forty
feet in width and samples taken from
across the face of the lead give average
assays Of $25 to the ton. The rock is free
milling, is easily crushed and if it holds
out to be as rich as reported will prove
acknowledgements Democrat.
Regarding the mills and mines at Mo-
gollun the Silver City Enterprise says:
The Maud s. mill is running steadily on
ore from the Four Hawks and Maud s.
mines The Confidence mill is steadily
crushing seventy tons per day, the prod
net of the mine. When the new wines
below the tunnel level are of sufficient
depth to open lower levels, the ore cup
ply will be materially increased, but at
present it keeps the upper slopes hustling
to furnish the necessary amount of ore.
The bad roads during the recent. storms
came near causing temporary hang up
of some of the batteries at the mill. The
drifts from the tunnel level on the Keno
are advanced about thirty feet each and a
good body Of milling ore is in sight in
both drifts. The Keno will probably
prove as good mine as the Maud s.,
which is upon the same vein.
