and are taking out the finest turquoise
ever produced BY that nine.
A. J. spaulding lie prospecting for Geo.
Bell in the Burros, and has found some
fine specimens OF float but has not been
able TO locate It. He has staked out two
claims.
The Aztec company will put four men
into their turquoise mine in the Burros
tomorrow. The prospects are showing
up very rich and we hope soon 70 DO
able to give a glowing report Of this
mine.
The mines on Copper Flat are being
opened up. There 10 no doubt as 10 the
body Of ore to be found there and IL it
can be successfully treated, that viii
soon be a iiourishing camp.
John Brockman is o working two
men, under contract, on bis Cumberlqnd
mine at Copper Flat. They are doing
development work aud their contract

Messrs. Pritchard & Quiut are now

N. Bell, who was down from Pinos
Altos last Saturday. said that more con-
contracts had been shipped from that
camp during the past two months than
for any corresponding period in its his
tory. That sounds we'll for duh times.
w. 7. Chino, OF Pinos Altos, one Of
the best mining men IN tins section,
went to Carlisle on Wednesday to take
charge OF the Alabama mine IN that
camp. The Alabama has been a great
producer in days gone by and the pros
poets are good thatit will again be rated
among the best properties in this region.
At all events, under the intelligent di-
~rection Of Mr.. Chino, the Alabama will
show up for all she's worth.
The Van Smelling Company began its
work Of o%verhauling the Flagler works
at this place last Thursday. They ex-
pect to be ready for operation by the
18th inst. Sufficient ore has been bought
upon which to make a good run and the
result will be watched with much anxi.
ETY.. Should their operations prove sue
cessful it will be of great value to the
, people Of Silver City. The company
, does not hope to accomplish very much
for a time but will devote most Of it's at,
) %tention to sampling, testing ores, etc.
until such ores as can be profitable treat
4 cd can be secured. The material FOL
replacing the sidetrack TO the emelter
arrived last Saturday and the road bet
Is now being put into condition.
The PaschaI Copper Company recent
. ~ made a shipment Of 20 tons Of ore L
the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturer
Company at Natrona, Pennsylvania
which ran 80 per cent pure copper. /
Is the intention OF the Paschal compan,
to soon put in an extensive plant for TIA
y treatment Of their ores and thus save
great item OF expense in the matter 0
freight. w. F. Hanness, W. >. Sapp AMI
Geo. w. Miles, the gentlemen composing
! this company, are practical men m
I they have tested the ore sufficiently t
warrant them 10 putting 10 a smelrer Q
improved style. In addition to numel
Gus shipments made, they now hav
I ready for treatment about $50 tons q
/, ors. The ore body in the mine Is YER
1 large but Il 10 not supposed to be q
I rich as that recently shipped 20 III
Pennsylvania Salt Company. They o.
! poet e have a run Of about 1900 Ions Z
ore ready before they blow in the
smelter.
- The Ivanhoe smelter was closed dow
~ again last Tuesday, the precise cause {
70 which is not known, but enough
~ known, however, to warrant tie stat
ment that 1t was neither from lack
ore or the quality Of the same. III
smelter at that place was blown 10 a to
r months ago under the most iavorabI
y circumstances and was said TO be backe
by a company OF wealthy aud experlenC
le ed men. AS TO the former there doe
or not appear to be much question but
y, the latter sense as much can not l
n truthfully said. The work has been u
A corrupted with a series Of break down
to f~reeze-upa, etc, from the beginning, ga
II not the result Of bad management
must be attributed 10 the employmel
OF unskilled operatives. Mr.. j.. (
