CARLISLE.
Tins old camp has been resurected and
is again among the living. During the
time Of its proaperity-while the Eng
lish company were operating the Car
isle mine yeas ago-three hundred
souls found the means Of livelihood
from the work then being done. After
the closing Of the mine-whicb, by tho
way has always been . mystery 10 those
acquainted with tho property and know
that large bodies Of ore still remain
the camp WIS deserted. and last Novom-
Der, I An told, there were but ten per-
sons in che ohmp. and those ten people.
were the most diahoartened souls one
could find anywhere. How different the
feelings u thoss few people and the fu-
turs prospects Of the camp are nowl
Since Messrs. Child 4 Loberg purchased
the property and machinery Of che Car
Isle Company, and secured leases and
bonds on eight other mining olnims. the
camp has become quite lively. Other
investors hearing Of the YER rich pros
peOts IN the distriOt, began to arrive and
make Investigations, and not one who
has COM here has left the camp without
securing bonds or options on some OF
the numerous properties.
Measrs. Vail and Shookley, Of Pueblo,
Colorado, have bonded the Alabama
claim in the Jim Crow camp and will
begin operations Immediately. A stock
company which was organized by Mr.,
Thomas McEnery,ot Denver, Colorado,
and Jim Tong, Of Carlisle, have begun
operations on the Raven nine adjoining
tho Alabama. ME- O. Griffith Of Den
yer, Colorado, rel ressnting one Of the
largest and richest mining corporations
in Colorado, has been here for the past
two weeks and has bonded Eve claims
from Bill Thomas. Mr.. Griffith has also
located several claims and expects Il
begin work in a few days. Messrs. Child
& Loberg are working on the Imperial
Jim Grow and King mines 10 the jim
Crow camp, ard upon the Surprise
summit and Black Spar IN the Carlisle
camp. ALI these properties are showing
up very we'll aud we predict that thu
will be one Of the best camps in New
Mexico and that before q very greai
while. Those who have seen Creede ant
Cripple Creek in Colorado, claim thai
this district exceIs both places.
In many places on the Summit ledgl
ore has been found which assayed 81
ounces in gold and 1443 ounces in silveI
and this rich mineral can be found alonI
the ledge for ten thousand feet. II hal
been claimed by many that this rich or
was only a surface deposit and did mol
penetrate deep into the ledge, but thii
has been proven false, for in Mr.. p. H
Nj Dermott's mine, at a depth Of III
feet, this very same ore is found. ON
