NEW MEXICO MINES.
The Black Range and MOgollons-Ila
Belle Camp-Santa Fe C0un-
tvs Mines.

The following extract from letter
from Denver mining man to an eastern
paper applies to New Mexico as we'll as
to Colorado: Occasionally there will be
met with rich gold mine which will
stand for brief period that kind of
reckless and extravaganza management
that would send the chills down the back
of Il conservative business man. These
mines are few aud far between, but their
very existence does more harm than good
from the fact that the methods applied in
their management are also tried on other
properties which, while possessing large
wealth in gold, are not of such nature
as to stand this kind of kid glove and
champagne management, and hence the
enterprise invariably ends disastrously,
and a valuable mine is abandoned as
worthless"
