Mining and Milling Operations In
southwestern New Mexico
Promising Prospects.

Speaking of mining operations at Ivan
hoo the Deming Headlight says: The
Old Log Cabin mine, belonging to the
Albert Stranch estate, has been sold to G.
s. Cartwright and George Knox of the
Texas Grand Central company ofCentral.
They propose to work the prop
erty for all it is worth. The ores arc OF
copper, silver and lead, and will be con-
centrated on the ground, after which the
concentrates will be shipped to the Flag
Ter smelter at Silver City, for treatment
Both the new owners of the property are
largely interested in these works, which
are under the immediate management of
Mr.. G. f. Bretherton, thoroughly COM
petent man, and there is no question
about his ability to make it a grand sue
cess. This coupled with the fact that
Nessrs. Cartwright and Knox know no
such word az fails places the proposition
beyond reasonable doubt. *
The Ivanhoe smelter which has been
closed down for repairs for several weeks,
blew in again the fore part of this
week. Having made success of their
venture, and having gained the conf
dence of mine owners, they are now on the
high road of success. It is asserted Gs a
fact beyond denial, that under it's present
management the company has declared a
dividend of S43,250.
Cooney, Coats & Shaible's mill at
Cooney is running right along and is
producing good returns. A lot of the
rich concentrates will probably be
shipped next week.
The Golden Giant mine at Pinos Altos
Of which mention has frequently been
made in the Headlight, is proving oil
that paper predicted from the beginning,
brilliant success and as development
work progresses it is proving bonanza,
even beyond the fondest expectations OF
its owners. The Giant has passed the
ohrysalis stage by reason of develop.
ments recently made, and it is now full
f1edged mine, and good one at that.
The Maud 8. mill, Mogollon district, is
running on ores from tbs Grey Hawk and
Maud s. mines. The former is producing
about twenty-five tons per day and sew.
eral teams and pack animals are trans
porting the ore to mill. Some very rich
ore was struck last week in the lower
level of the Maud =.
The Deep Down mine, Megollon dis
trict, is being worked right along and
considerable ore is being produced. The
mill is being rapidly put in shape for a
long and prosperous run, 1t is to be
hoped.
The Confidence mill of Graham con.
tinues to make regular bullion shipments
The new machinery for the Texas
Grand Central mines, at Central, will be
placed IN position at once, having already
been purchased. Sinking and further de.
velopment work will be pushed with
vigor. These justly famous properties
are producing their usual quantities OF
high grade metal, and they have on their
dumps plenty Of ore ready to be hauled
to the smelter at Silver City. The ore
carries gold and silver plentifully, and
can not fail giving entire satisfaction.
Some of the dumps of the old Santa
Rita company have been overhauled and
closely sorted. Considerable of the pro-
duct has been worked at the Ivanhoe
smeltsr, but 1900 or 5000 tons of good
copper ore yet remain on the property.
Work on Newcomb's Huntington mill
at White Signal lie being pushed with
great v,gor, and mine owners are getting
out ore in anticipation of the start-up.
W. Fl. Newcnmb, who is rnstler from
Rustleville, is on the ground superintend-
ing the work in person.
John Jeffords has sold all his mining
interests at White Signal to W. @. Cope
lin, of Cripple Greek, Colo., the consider
alton being $4,000.
Bell & Stephens, of Pinos Altos, pro-
duced $4,000 worth of gold bullion last
week.
