Mining development in the country
tributary to Ell Paso is making such
strides that it is a difficult matter to
keep in touch with the rapid progress
| which is being made. The most en-
cOuraging news comes from all the
| surrounding country and the northern
part of the republic of Mexico, regard
| ing gold, silver, copper and lead prop
critics, which are showing up better
every day. whilst many new discover
les are likewise reported. Ell PasO,
therefore, has a bright future as a
center for mining operations. Good
prospects have been obtained within a
few miles of the city and expert mining
men are sanguine that they will develop
into valuable mineral properties. Hun
dreds of paying mines are in operation
in the Organs. the JicarillOS. the San
Andres. the Guadalupe, the Quitman,
the Chenati and Eagle mountains. con-
stituting the groups nearest to Ell Paso.
and forming the background to the
great picture of which Ell Paso is both
the focus and radiating point. There
are also thousands of fine prospects in
the above localities which are only
awaiting capital for their development.
Coal has also been discovered in large
quantities. North 80 miles. is the
White Oaks deposit. the quality of
which is pronounced to be inferior to
none in the world. The White Oaks
railroad which Is expected to commence
the construction of in the near future
will open up these coal deposits as well
as the rich gold mines of Black noun
tains, the Jicarillos and numerous other
silver. lead and copper districts. To
the west along the line of the Corralitos
railroad. which is now in course of
construction. are also other line coal
deposits. The construction of this rail-
road will open up one of the richest
mineral belts in the world. In refer
ence to the COrralitOs district and
mines an article giving a brief des-
criptiOn will be found on this page.
All kinds of minerals are to he found
in large quantities adjacent to FL Paso
as well as salt. marble. onyx. lime stone
in large quantities, and superior brick
clay. and kaOlin. the substance from
which fine China and porcelain are
made. An important feature of the
mines in the vicinity is that the pros |
poets are generally sufficiently rich |
from the very surface to pay the work |
ing expenses. and being so close to a |
shelter where this ore can be reduced, !
there is no reason why the work should |
not progress. The mines are, as a rule, |
situated at high attitudes. and the |
formation is not permeated with water. |
sufficient either to permeate the forma
ton or prevent work at any and all |
times. The danger of caving and the |
necessity for timbering throughout is |
avoided. All of which adds materially |
to the profits. To the capitalists. miner
and proSpectOr. we would say, that |
there is no better field. or one more
worthy their attention on the American
continent than this.
