MOGOLLON MINES.

The ore teams are hauling steadily
to the mill on Whitewater. The mill
will be started as the ore bins, which
hold 1900 tons, are filed so as to have
a reserve for q few weeks in case OF
stormy weather delaying the teams.
The mill wilt be probably started next
week. The mine is in good shape,
with numerous large ore bodies 10
sight. Development work will be kept
ahead of the slopes and ore reserves
opened up equal to the amount ex-
tracted.
While the mine has paid well since
the reduction Of ore commenced, still
it seems to have a much brighter fu-
ture in store. John T. Graham, n
of the principal owners, is in charge
as general manager, and under his
careful supervision everything about
the mine and mill is running as smooth
as clock works.
