B. A. Nymeyer came in from Sail
mas Peak in the San Andreas range a
few days ago and has just started
back to his mine. He owns the"F'rog
mine" and has fine copper property.
There are several car loads OF ore on
the dump running sixty per cent. He
is working a two foot perpendicular
vein in blue and gray granite con-
tact, and is now down sixty feet.
Work is carried on continually, so as
to have on hand large quantity OF
ore ready for shipment when the rail-
Way reaches Three Rivers, fifteen
miles distant.
The Cooper Brcs. mine in the same
vicinity is a gold-copper proposition, OF
very high grade ore. The shaft Is now
down sixty fest and . large quantity
of ore is ready for shipment.
The sum of twenty-five thousand dol
Iars was recently offered for control
ling interest in the Fred mite, near
Salinas Peak, but was refused.
The John Murdoch prospect, new
discovery, in fact n surface prospect,
runs S24 IS in gold per ton. The show
ings ere very favorable and the pros
pect is being worked for all it is worth.
1t is located in close proximity to the
Salinas Peak. Within the past three
or four weeks some twenty new pros
poets have been opened up, and sill of
them show high assays in gold and
cop er.
\. M. Crozier reports good results
from his Copper King mine in Caball-
ero canyon, seven miles east from Ala
mogordo. He is now loading Car
with rich copper ore for the Ell Pnso
smelters. The assays run from % TO
80 per cent of copper with 10 to IL
ounces of silver to the ton. He has a
60 foot tunnel On 4 foot vein. About
two car loads ere ready for shipment
and are being brought to town on
burros. Work on the other claims and
prospects in this locality Is being
pushed rapidly.
W. A. Kerr's Burro claim has fine
copper ore in sight, which assays n
per cent of copper. 1t is situated GA
Caballero Canyon about six miles from
Alamogordo. The Price and Jack
Tucker prospects on Dry Canyon,
about six miles from Alamogordo,
have some very good showings. la the

ley claim 2S per cent copper.
Assessment work is being done on 80
or 40 claims, most of which promise to

yons at present are full of prospCctOrs.
@ 90. G. Hopkins, of mbria canon,
San Andreas Mountains, is COW load
ing car with copper ore from the
Nellie" mine at Alamogordo. This

is a low grade lead and silver PROPOSE
ton, with about II per cent lead and s
ounces of silver, with streaks of lead

d. M. Cox of Alamogordo, who has
Dry ana CaballerO canCus some atten-
ton and careful examination, feels
convinced that "a gigantic tissure
vein of copper will be soon uncovered
in that locality. The richness of the
ores now obtained from the Colorado
Copper claim, the Copper King and
the numerous other prospects, as well
as other indications lead to the cOnclu-
sion that this mother vein is not far
off.
w. E. Hulett came in last Monday
from his big copper strike in the White
mountains. He reports that his ind
will more than likely prove a very
rich ore. 1t is small mountain of low
grad copper ore which run and per
cent on the surface.

les of gold in the White Mountains
