CoNCENTRATOR FOR CERRILLOS.
James M. Allan, well-known mining
man from Chicago, reached Santa Fe
last night. For some time he has been
developing the Cavern mine, near Mag
dalena, and Is here to resume work ON
the Bottom Dollar property, near Bo-
nanza, mine that in former years did
much to give popularity to the CerrilIos
district. There are two strong and we'll
defined veins on this claim, one of
which has been opened to the depth of
$50 feet, and the other 80 feet. The ore
carries gold, silver. lead and zinc, the
latter existing in the lower workings to
that extent as to make 1t Improbable
to operate during the past five years.
Now. however, with some of the great
foreign zinc mines practically exhaust
ed and a zinc boom on in all the indus
trial centers of the world, and consider
ing the progress made in cheapeninr
the cost Of concentration and separa-
tion, the Chicago owners Of the Bottom
Dollar are satisfied that good profits
await the resumption Of work In the
Cerrillos lead-zlnc mines. Mr.. Allan
Will contract for sinking on his prop
erty; proposes to put in steam pump,
and will erect concentrating and sep
arating plant, with jigs similar to those
now so successfully operated In the
Joplin district. These plants cost $500
on the cars at Joplin. and he expects
to have one on the Bottom Dollar with
In few months. The lead concentrates
will go to the Cerrillos smelter and the
zinc to Kansas City or Chicago, the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road hav-
Ing made very low rate for the trans
portation of both ore and concentrates.
