HILLSBORO, N. M.
A New Superintendent Over the
Porter Interests-He Predicts
Great Prosperity in Arizona and
New Mexico-A Lesson In De-
Veloplng Mines.

Special Correspondence Of the HERALD.
HILLSBoRo. N. NJ, Nov. 1O.-Robt.
b. Hopper, we'll and favorably known
all over south and southeast New Mex
leo, has arrived here to superintend
the many and valuable Interests of 81.
M. Porter, of Denver, Colo.
The correspondent called on Mr..
Hopper to ascertain for HERALD read
ers why he was here and what was In
the wind.
Mr.. Hopper said: ST am here to
look after Mr.. Porter's interests. E..
II. Bickford, the retiring superintend-
ent, has too many interests of his own
both here and in Colorado to attend to
somebody else's. Yes! 1 will reclaim
both the Opportunity and Bobtail
mines, which have been under water
so long, and put them in first class con-
dition to lease and be producers.
81 tell you, Mr. Correspondent, New
Mexico is going to have her share of
the wave of prosperity. 1t has been q
long time coming, but it is headed
this way in grand shape"
"What is the cause?"
"Well now! I'll tell you. Prospec-
tors find mines, sink q ten-foot hole
and sell to some local man for few
hundred. The local msn sinks little
further, drifts q little and sells to a
small company. Small company does
some N ore work, puts up a steam hoist,
builds an ore house and a bunk house
and sells to q large company. More
work, more buildings. Large company
makes lots of money and puts up mill.
The deeper they go the less the profit,
so the large COM any sells to English or
eastern capitalists, who make more
money-not on the ore from the mine
but in stocks. The large company men
in Colorado find very few properties
left in Colorado that they can handle.
Money is simply pouring in from the
east, and they can't find any more sui
table prospects to develop. In fact
there is famine in email companies,
and, like every other sensible business
man would, they are casting their eyes
around for pastures new and green.
"New Mexico, and Arizona stare them
in the face. These two territories are
full of little companies, scratching out a
little ore. at their own sweet will and
never dreaming of selling until some
fellow comes along and offers them
SUN that takes away their breath.
Well, I must go to supper. Good night.
I know what am talking about have
just arrived from Denver"
