VIM. Kief is sinking on the Clara X
property at Cooks. The shafts have at
tanned 80 and 100 feet depths respec-
lively, and drifts run from the bottoms
disclose numerous stringers of ore.
1t is expected that depth will show the
stringers merging into a permanent
body of mineral, of sufficient magnitude
to warrant extensive operations.
Concerning the Othello and Desdemona
mines at Cooks. the Silver City Enter
prise says: Son the properties the
Kansas City Smelling and Refining Com
pany of El Paso, has a force of eighty
miners employed. Fifty tons of ore is
the regular daily shipment. In addition
to the great ore reserves heretofore
developed in these mines a new and
apparently very extensive body of ore
ploitation, on Monday. This property
has, during the past two years produced
enormous quantities of rich lead carbon
ate ore. VIM. Kief, the bonanza king
of the camp, leased the property about
three years ago and made a fortune of
about a quarter million dollars, beside
paying the company a very large sum in
royalties. He worked one hundred
men upon one enormous ore body for
over a year but did not exhaust it, as the
company has been shipping fifty tons
per day regularly since the property
reverted to the owners at the expiration
of the lease II year ago. This new
strike insures a large production for
years to come.
Says the Bland Herald: The heavy
excavations for the big Albemarle mill
are now rapidly nearing completion and
it will not be long before setting of the
steel shell and machinery is begun.
Several large tanks have been erected
on the Delphino, which adjoins the
Albemarle, to hold the water brought
by pipe from Peralta cannon for the
mill. The mine work at present consists
of developing in the several drifts anC
other parts of the mine, 'as we'll a.
strengthening the main shaft, which will
change it from an incline to a vertica
two compartment shaft, throwing |
some 80 feet north of the present open
ing. A great many visitors from tn
outside have been to see the enormou
operations at the Albemarle during the
week past and all are satisfied that 1t |
the greatest mine work ever carried OF
in New Mexico. The Cochiti Gold Min
ing company is sparing no expense II
. developing their big property. Tn
large force at work there is well please'
with the management. which consists o
gentlemen who are thoroughly acquain
ted with the work in hand and tn
proper handling Of men.
