Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
The 4th of July excursion trains from
FL Paso brought into camp, J. J.
Mundy, president of the Jarilla Gold
Mining company; A. w. Clifford, the
friend Of and untiring worker for the
camp; Dan Kelly, who is interested in
several claims; Patrick Henry Duracl,
of Barstow, Texas; and Judge Lew
Davis, who spent the day visiting the
different mines and examining numer-
Gus prospects.
The party spent q pleasant day, saw
much to interest them and expressed
themselves as we'll pleased and asto-
nished at the progress of the camp.
to this camp and each time I see more
to interest me the mineral seems to
grow, or 1 am learning the difference
between mineral and country rock. l
am glad am interested in this camp.
found and located claim on the out
skirts today, and feel confident that 1
will make good money from my in
vestnents here.
"Our Ell PasO people don't realize
the opportunities being offered by this
camp. It is so near home, they don't
believe. They have plenty of money
to help the prospectors develop their
claims, and If they knew the advan
tsges and chances offered by this camp
they would be running out here by the
dozens. I have-had a good trade from
this camp, and this of itself would JUS
taking hold and helping prospectors to
develop their claims.
"This camp is now spending with Ell
Paso fully ten thousand dollars per
month. 1t won't be long, until the ex-
penditure will be q hundred thousand
per month, and IL we don't secure 1t
now, while 1t is within our grasp. We
may find ourselves the losers. II we
hold back and permit enterprising
business men from other cities to come
in and help the prospectors, securing
controlling interests, they will surely
turn the trade to the respective points
in which they have q business in
terest, and Ell Pssoans will realize
the situation too late to remedy the
evil"
J. J. Mundy said: 81 don't know
much about mining or mineral, it is
out of my line of experience, bus surely
the camp seems to possess all the ad-
vantages aud Indications necessary to
make il lasting and prosperous. The
Eddy brothers have not built this fine
railroad up here for fun. These big
piles of ore On the dumps and thousands
of tons that have been and are daily
being mined and shipped to Ell Paso are
positive proof, that the camp is mine
raj bearing.
cit is certainly admirably located to
be an important factor in the upbuild-
ing of Ell Paso. I think it is wise and
reasonably safe for Ell Pssoans to put
few dollars into this camp. 1t Ell Paso
is to be mining and smelling center
we must stand ready and willing to
help prepare the ground and plant the
seed that will make it such center,
and this we can do by helping the pros
pectors to develop their claims; and to
this end was the company of which 1
am president, worked up and organ
ICED through the efforts of A. W. Gift
ford who has lsbored day and night &c
convince Ell Pasoans of the promising
advantages offered by this camp.
Our company own ten claims and
are now planning toinaugurate develop
ment work. We are capitalized on q
business basis, only 10, 600 shares of 81
per share, and 1000 shares of the treasu-
ry stock will be sold to people who want
to.take small chancesin the Jarillas and
have no time to look after individual
interests in claims.
81 am satisfied with my investment
in the camp and believe it will yield me
a reasonable profit. This finding of
placer gold is strange but only anosher
proof to show that the ground is not even
yetprospected. You don't know what
you have here. These flats around here,
may yet prove up to be worth more
tba an the mountains"
p. b. Durack an, old miner with
| much and varied mining experience,
said: "Well, boys, you have the max
ing OF camp all right provided you
don't ssrangle the goose before it lays
the egg. 1t take dough to make a
mineral. and this you have not got and
you want it and want it bad and you
will have hard time getting it, de-
manding high prices and cash for your
claims.
"The day for selling 1850 hole in
| the ground to capitalists and tender
feet for hard cash is gone by. They
don't swallow the bait as they used to-
and 1t takes fine work these days to
get man to put his sugar In a pros.
pect, and he is not going to give any
of it to the prospector until he has
proof that the Investment will justify it..
1 think the Mamie Baird and Lucky
will m axe great mines.
cit makes me laugh to see you fell
lows mining around with your eyes
sticking out so you could knock them
off with a stick, over find of spoon
full of coarse gold. 1 have been there,
boys, and know how it is myself. Be
calm, bows, don't get excited, IL amt
