Editor HERALD:-On Wednesday
morning, accompanied by Samuel F.
Dubbs, who Is agent for the Mexican
Ore company al this place, we tart
The road leading to the'Smith and Tur-
ner mines takes o through a very
picturesque country. The great tower
ing peaks and monstrous rocks, and
the deep quiet canyOn fill n with
awe. The roads are in very good con-
dition q you could ride in q
buggy to within about q quarter of q
back, so we rode right up to b shaft.
The location of the camp is n of the
finest l ever saw. It is on the top of q
high mountain but on either side
there is another mountain a little
higher. It is certainly an ideal spot
for a mining camp. Smith and Turner
gave us a very hearty welcome.
They rave an adobe house with
three large rooms and everything is
comfortable and homelike. Mr.. Turner
asked me to go down into the mine
with him aud take a look It the pro-
perty and l did so. They have gone
down some 300 feet and have an mex
haustible vein of ore and they have
now in sight enough ore to net them at
least S75, 900 to $780, 200. 1t will un-
doubtedly be one of the. best paying pro-
ages $50. 90 to the ton.
The ladder that you descend on
when visiting the mine Is just three
hundred feet long, but it seems to a
man when he climbs it for the first
time as though 1t was at least three
miles.
After we had enjoyed a good nights
rest and q good breakfast prepared by
Harry and Joe, who, by the way,
are par excellence itself when 1t comes
to cooking q good meal, we, in COM
pany with Mr.. Turner, went over o
five miles to visit smother mine In
which MI. Dubbs is int rested along
with Mr.. Palmer and others. 1t is
q new mine and they are
and have only penetrated about 35
feet. They are now working In ore
that will pay them to ship and they
will he shipping pretty After
| Mr.. Dubbs had transacted some bust
ness we started for camp again. We
had incidentally brought guns with US
thinking we might see something
worth shooting. I had never in my
life had an opportunity ever to shoot
at a deer, so you may imagine my anx-
iety was great. We became separated
and ] got a little anxious for fear they
would not find me-; while rushing
around and making all the noise
1 could to attract their
attention sme daar an TO tba me came on ss al r Lea
view on the edge of the cliff. I made
short work of one of them and tried all
the ammunition I had on the other, but
being q little excited 1 missed him.
The shooting brought my companions
to me and we three managed to carry
my prize into camp.
There are plenty of deer in the
might have plenty of sport by spend
ing q few days in this section of the
country.
On Saturday. had the pleasure of
being shown through the largest
mine in this part of the countryside
San Diego. The work there is in
charge OF T. b. Booz, q nan of large
experience, who takes pleasure in
showing visitors every courtesy when
visiting at the mines. This company
is now shipping two carloads of ore
daily and they have enough ore in
sight to keep them going for The next
two years without looking for anything
more.
P. A. Bunsen, who lives on q fine
ranch q short distance from town and
has q large herd of cattle, also
runs several teams furnishing water to
the different mines. He Is q very busy
man looking after his various in
~terests. j. E. Palmer the agent for
the Sabinal Mining and Smelling
Co, is always busy but
never so busy but what he will gives a
stranger any information he may de-
sire.
S. Decora has just brought into
town some samples of ore from a new
prospect, and if it proves to be IS good
as it looks he certainly will in a short
time be in a cry prosperous condition
He has been prOspectOr for q number
of years and deserves to meet with sue
cess.
All that Sabinal needs to make it
one of the greatest mining towns in
Mexico is more capital. The noun
tains on every side seems to be filled
with valuable ore and it would be to
the investors interest to visit Sabinal.
