Valuable Turquoise Mines.

DEVELOPMENT work on the group OF
turquoise mines. SAYS the New Mexi-
can, owned by local capitalists, is pro-
crossing rapidly, and within the past
two months this property has been put
upon a paying basis.
The group is composed of six mines
the Grand Mogul, Last Chance, Persian
Queen, Crown Jewel, Moqui and Monte
yuma, all located about two and half
miles southeast of the American tur-
quoise mines, and 20 miles south of the
city Of Santa Fe. Upon several of the
old Indian workings, filed IN many
years ago and but recently uncovered,
have been discovered well defined
leads OF turquoise of the very best
quality and color.
The Mcntezuma Queen is a mine of
this kind. and shows the very first
ouality of turquoise at from three TO
four feet in depth, on an immense lead
running the entire length of the loca-
ton. From work already done this
group bids fair to become, in the course
of a year or so, the biggest producer
in the world. and already the Aneri-
can TURQUOISE company has strong
competitor in this enterprise, owned en-
tirely BIZ Santa Fe people. 10 to the
time Of the organization of the local
concern. these mines were held by
single individual, who for ten wears
had been holding on for a deal About
six mouths after the corporation above
mentioned came into existence, devel-
opment work was commenced, and has
been actively prosecuted since. This
work has been carried to a point suffi-
Gent to demonstrate the great value
of these mines.

THE NEW MAMMOTH HOIST.
The Plant Was Started Successfully
the First of the Week.

In speaking yesterday with Hon. P.
T. Farnsworth, the manager of the
Mammoth Mining company. The Her
aid was Informed that the fine new
hoist just erected by the company had
been successfully started up on Mon
day OF this week and that now every
thing was in readiness so that heavy
ore extraction could be resumed, which
would be done.
The main working shaft on the prop
erty, over which the new hoist IS in
stalled. is now down to the depth of
1900 feet, and from this level a .vinze

AN OLD PIONEER.
One of the Early Miners at the Hos
pital


One OF the pioneer miners of this
western country is now occupying a
cot az ST. Marks hospital, and his old
time friends who are daily visiting him
are hoping against hope that he will
eventually recover from his ailment,
which is heart disease.
In 1862 David Monroe Tyrell was a
well known miner on the Comstock
lode, in Nevada, where at one time he
had charge OF the workings of the En-
pire mine. Later on, for four years
he was superintendent of the noted
Belcher mine. under Captain Hank
Smith. who is now superintendent of
the Centennial Eureka mine, this state.
Still later he was identified with the
famous Raymond & Ely mine at Ne
vada, and he has all the details of the
history OF this once wonderful camp
stored in his memory.
For more than So years Mr.. Tyrell
has been identified with the mining in
terests of the west, and he has thou
sands of friends, one might say, among
the veteran miners of this inter- mount
ain country.
His wife was the daughter of Porter
Rockwell, WHO has made himself a
name. if not fame, in the early history
of Utah.
For some time past Mr.. Tyrell, who
must now be in the SOS, has been So
journing at Park City, and it was only
a few days ago that he was brought to
the hospital in an unconscious condi-
ton. and he has not yet regained con-
seriousness, or had not last night.
He has always been an industrious
and sober man. and his integrity has
never been questioned. Should his pres
ent illness prove to be fatal, a large
assemblage will follow his remains TO
their last resting place and his memory
will long be revered and honored.
