rated at once in experiments which will
determine the size and nature OF the
plant to be put in. Such machinery as
can be secured at Chicago and Denver
will be ordered by Mr.. Burn on his way
out and he expects to put it into active
operation next month. The grant will
in part be parcelled out to leasers who
will take their production to the Edison
mill.
The mill on the Ortiz mine has just
been completed. New machinery gem
orally, including ten new stamps has
been added. A large building is being
erected for a home for the superinten-
dent and an assay office. A large ore
body has been developed in the mine,
assaying SO. 90 and upward perton. This
is the only mine in operation on the
grant, although assessment work is
being done in the Cunningham and work
is in progress to put the mine into opera
tion very soon.
The Mike O'Neill turquoise claim and
copper property, it is stated, has been
sold to S. G. Burn, manager OF the
Edison interests on the Ortiz grant.
MINING AT GOLDEN.
At Golden the Monte Cristo Placer
Mining Company has shut down its
work waiting for u larger pump with
which to furnish water for the opera
ton of the plant. The Industrial Placer
Mining Company is building a boarding
house and an Office building four and a
half miles west of Golden. 1t is also
sinking an artesian well.
II. Panther and Z. w. Newberry of
Chicago, intend to operate a new ma
chine for placer work near Golden. An
experimental machine has been built
and so for proved very satisfactory.
The owners are confident of success and
if after 60 days trial the machine does
what it is expected to do, the syndicate
backing them will invest largely in prop
erty and machinery around Golden.
They expect to clear from so cents to
$685. 0 per yard of placer dirt.
Considerable assessment work is being
done in the vicinity.
INTERESTS AT SAN PEDRO.
At San Pedro the Santa Fe Gold and
Copper Company has its company store
in successful operation under the mana
cement of Mr.. Kaufman of Santa Fe.
Mr.. Kaufman is assisted by Frank
Williams, recently of Kansas City. The
mine is employing about so men on de-
velopment work. Lumber has been re-
ceived from Cerrillos for the construction
of buildings at the mine. 1t is reported
that the machinery for the smelter and
concentration, which will be very large,
will not be on the grounds before Jan
uary or February or possibly later as it
is difficult to secure machinery at this
time. The San Pedro Mining and Mil
ling Company, Joseph M%ackedon, super
intendent, is putting down an artesian
we'll. 1t is developing the mine in good
shape and is getting ready to put in new
machinery that will be in operation in
the near future.
The Gold Standard, which it was re-
ported was sold to Colorado Springs par
ties pending patent, only employs four
men at development work at present.
THE CASH ENTRY,
The Cash Entry relocation at Bonanza,
reported a few days ago, was made by
Ross Griffith, of Cerrillos. The English
company which developed this property
expended about $500, 900 for purchase
and improvement, but did no work last
year, although 600 feet of work was
done prior to that. The property,
under present conditions, will pay for
operating. 1t is claimed that appllca-
tion for a patent on the mine was pending,
and delay resulted on account of some
defect in the survey and therefore the
mine was not subject to relocation. At
any rate, q stiff legal fight will be made
for the possession of the mine.
