THE JARILLAS.
Sayings and Dolngs of the Camp
a Tempting Place to Invest
Few Thousand, by Those Who
Want to Make Money.
We predict that ineide of one year,
this camp will be employing several
thousand industrious miners.
The one case of small pox is about
we'll. The strict quarantine inaugur-
sted by Manager Church was COM
plete check against it's spreading.
It is reported that the Jarilla Copper
company, composed of Philadelphia
capitalists, will soon begin active de-
velopment work on their group of
three patented claims.
A spur is being located to the Mamie
Baird, or rather q "Y" will be put in
between the Mamie Baird ana the
Lucky, giving both the advantage of
loading from dump into cars.
The Eddy Bros. are no mossbacks.
Grass doesn't grow under their feet.
| If New Mexico had hundred Eddys
promoting enterprises in the territory
| she would soon throw other swaddling
/ clothes and put on the dress of state
hood.
| The spur to the Lucky has not only
been located, but the grading force has
been at work for three days and to-
| night the first mile of grade is COM
pleted. At this rate the camp will
have the steam horse snorting in less
than q month.
! The St. Louis United Copper COM
pany, composed of prominent stock
holders in the celebrated Granite
! Mountain mine, began loading car of
high grade copper ore this morning.
On one of their patented claims they
are still cross cutting in the ore body.
No mining camp in New Mexico can
boast OF the advantages that this camp
will be in possession of within thirty
days-unlimited bodies of low grade
mouth of their shafts and tunnels, and
enterprisinR, pushing capital, furnish
ing employment to hundreds of men to
mine the ore.
Mr.. Baird Gays: "It looks as thoue b
the company had good thing in this
camp. I believe they will make q mil
