Attorney A. B. Renehan has returned
home from somewhat extended triI
through the mining districts of south.
ern Santa Fe county. He was very
much impressed with what he saw, ant
Is sanguine that the Cerrillos, Dolores
Golden and San Pedro districts are Ger.
eral producers of the territory before
the current year closes. In the Ger
rillos district he was pleased to note
that the long neglected Cash Entry
group, covering 230 acres of patented
mineral land, Is undergoing active and
systematic development work under the
Intelligent and experienced management
of A. A. Newbery and his associates. A
village of tents has sprung up at the
mine, and great activity is manifest
about the property. This is unquestion-
ably one Of the most valuable lead sill
YER propositions in the territory, and is
certain to yield rich rewards to those
who are now in control. Several large
and immensely valuable ore bodies are
known to exist in the extensive under
ground workings of the Cash Entry
and the indications are that they ex-
tend for thousands of feet. Clearly, Mr.
| Newbery knew precisely what he was
doing when he secured control of this
group.
| THE CERRII.LOS SMELTER
| The Cerrlllos smelter, with reduce
tion capacity of eighty tons of ore per
day, has been running most successful
ly and satisfactorily during the past
two weeks under the capable manage
ment of Superintendent Wells, and the
stockholders have substantial reasons
| for anticipating steady profits in fu-
ture. Two shifts, aggregating about
| thirty men, are employed. OF course,
the plant is operated day and night. Mr..
| Renehan noticed about twenty tons of
| lead bullion, carrying gold, silver and
| copper, the results of two weeks run,
on the platform of the Cerrillos station,
awaiting shipment to the refneries.
THE EDISON PLANT.
The Edison electrical gold saving
plant Is in constant and successful op-
Grafton on the Ortiz mine grant near
Dolores, giving employment to force
of ten or twelve men. The secret Of the
wonderful process whereby the gold
values are rescued from the auriferous
gravel and sand of the Ortiz grant
without the aid of water has not been
conflded to the public; it Is still one Of
| the personal and private possessions of
the renowned wizard of Menlo Park;
but 1t Is evidently more than meeting
| the expectations of it's inventor and his
| business associates, and little doubt is
entertained that 1t is destined to revo-
| lutionize present methods of reducing
| gold-bearing ores. President Lawson,
of the Ortiz mine grant company, has
| been at Dolores for two weeks, thor
| oughly examining the property and
watching the operation of the expert
| mental Edison mill. He appears we'll
pleased.
MILL STARTS UP.
! James NJ Lucas started up his five
stamp mill on Monday. and Is making
successful run on the high-grade free
milling gold ore from the Santa Rosa
mine, owned and operated by Jose L..
Lopez and Eugenio Romero. Fifteen
men are employed in the mine and MILL
THE NEW SHELTER.
The new 3O0-ton copper smelter Of the
Santa Fe Copper Company makes an
imposing appearance on the hillside
above San Pedro. 1t will be completed
and blown in about the 1st of Septem-
ber Under the direction Of Superintend-
ent Mclaughlin the copper mines Of the
company are being extensively devel-
oped, and immense bodies of ore are be-
ing blocked out for reduction at the
smelter as soon as it is blown in. This
company Is constructing a new road.
which materially lessons the grade and
shortens the distance to it's copper
mines, as well as to the Lincoln-Lucky
and San Lazarus groups Of gold and
silver mines. The company is at present
employing 15O men. This force VIII be
increased to 500 as soon as the smelter
is blown in.
MILL SHUTS DOWN.
|. The San Pedro Gold Mining and Mill
ing Company, controlled by Milwaukee
capitalists, formerly known as the San
Lazarus company, Is at present employ
Ing twenty men in its mill and mines.
James Gilowsky, of Milwaukee, presi-
dent of the company, is now on the
ground The mill will soon be tempo
rarily closed down for the purpose Of
devoting all energies to the develop
ment of the mines. Since careful ex-
ploration work has been in progress, ex-
pert opinion has reached the conclusion
that underlying the properties of this
company will be found the continuation
of the Santa Fe Copper Company's 8
great veins, and those interested are
naturally very much encouraged at the
prospect of soon being able to establish
this important fact. An experienced
mining engineer has been employed to
make a scientific investigation and re-
port on the property with special refer
ence to the copper indications.
