The Mary Mining Il Smelling company
was organized in this city on January IS,
1896, with the following incorporators;
Marion Balue, d. w. Marley and j. H.
Vaughn. The object of the company is
to carry on the business of mining for
gold, silver, lead and other minerals and
smelling the same. The capital stock of
the company consists of 100000 in 500,-
600 shares of 81 each.
Captain Balue, the president of the
company, has been very busy during the
past year in trying to place sufficient
stock to go into active operation and has
succeeded. The company owns six mines
known as the Mary group at Kelly in So
zorro county; the mines have been worked
and great deal of mineral, carrying lead,
silver and gold is in sight and on the
dump. The ore is similar to the Graphic
com pany's ore, except that it carries more
gold.
Captain Balue with two other directors
from Detroit, Mich, Mr.. H. S. Wisner, and
A. l.. Stephens have been in the territory
all week and it is understood that q
65 ton smelter, new and never used
before, built by Chalmers & Frazer, Chi
cago, has been contracted for and will
be shipped at once to Cerrillos where the
company owns IL acres of land, right
near the Atchison, Topeka q Santa Fe
railroad depot obtained from Senator
Elkins. 1t is believed that this plant can
be put into Cerrillos in 40 days and that
in month more it will be up and in &C.
tive operation treating ores from the
Mary group of mines and custom ores.
Satisfactory arrangements have been
made with the Atchison, Topeka g. Santa
Fe railroad as to hauling ores from So
zorro to the new smelter, ana coal, water
and other necessaries can be had in
abundance right at Cerrillos.
The company proposes to treat all the
ores of Coohiti and Santa lie county min
ing districts offered and will use the ores
from its own mines for fuxing purposes
mostly.
The company has ample capital and if
conditions warrant will put in second
stack and increase it's daily capacity at
an early date. The enterprise is an as
sured fact and means great deal for
south Santa Fe county and this city.
The officers of the company are, Marion
Balue president, D. W. Manley secretary,
and j FL. Vaughn treasurer, and Messrs.
II. S. Wisner and A. L. Stephens directors.
The New MEXICAN will give more facts
and particulars as the new enterprise
progresses, in the meantime it is but
necessary to say, that the company means
business, that it has all the capital it
needs, that it is not selling any stock
and that it proposes to make money out
of its mines and out of the amelter.
The undertaking will he found of the
greatest importance and benefit to the
mining aud commercial interests of this
county aud of Socorco county, and the
NEW MEXICAN wishes it the best of sue.
cess. That it will be success from the
start under the general management of
Captain Balue, cannot be doubted, for he
is well known as careful, painstaking,
energetic and prudent business and
mining man. He was largely instrument
tai in bringing the capital invested in the
Graphic company in Socorro county into
the territory and is valuable man and
first-class citizen in any community.
