Mining Circles Throughout the
Territory During the Past
Week.
TEMPORARY SUSPENSIONS
The Summers Work Will Show a Great In
crease of Production on Account Of
New Treatment Plants Now
In Operation.

ial regard for development work. Rep
~resentatives of eastern and foreign syn
dicates are on the field in the various
mining localities exporting properties, |
purchasing options and looking up OPP |
%portunities for Investments. While !
territorial reports show that a number
of mines have temporarily suspended
operations the causes of suspension are
aattering rather than discouraging. In
the case of the Hanover mine, at Han
over, the cause of closing down is due to
the fact that lessees have demonstrated
the worth of the mine by development
and the owners now prefer to work 1T
themselves or sell rather than extend
the lease. The Little Fanny mine at
| Mogollon though temporarily closed is
ono of the richest mines in the terri
tory, but company complications pre-
vent operation. Similar reasons are ac-
countable for other suspensions. The
output of gold and silver is increasing
rapidly. The production will be one-
half more during the next month owing
to the successful treatment of ores by
the Andrews mill, at Faulkner, the AL
| bian mill at Hematite, the Albemarle
mill at Cochiti, the North smelter at
| Cerrillos, the smelter at Red River and
the resumption Of placer mining through
out the territory for the seasons work.
