The new rates are exactly half of what the rates were that prevailed up to this time. The mileage basis is placed at I2i cents.
 The general reduction made yesterday gives a rate of $40 first class and $3o second class from Dawson to White Horse by its steamers. The regular rate has been up to this time $50. The opposition lines have made a rate the last few weeks from DaW- son to White Horse of S25.
 Tie rate of S3o first class, and $2o sec ond, from White Horse to Dawson, as made several days ago, still continues, as does that of $I5 on the opposition lines.
 In addition to its announcement Of yes terdav as to the new up-river rates from Dawson, the White Pass and Yukon is- sued the following general tariff, now ef> fective on its steamers, known as the Can adian Development fleet: White Horse to Selltirk,

An Outrageous Shame.

The appeals of Skagwavltes for the do- ing away with the bonding system through that port seem to be of no avail.

The Orion Stockholders Satisfied
They Have a First Glass
Investment.
EXPERT REPORT BY PROF. SEANON
Surface Indications Point to a Large Ore
Chute on the Dundee Excellent
Properties in the Jarilla
Mountains.

The Orion Mining company, compos-
ed of leading citizens of FL Paso and else
where, has half-page advertisement in
this number. The company owns claims
at Jarlla and at Shakespeare, near
Lordsbnrg. a party of stockholders,
accompanied by Prof. w. II. Seamon,
mining engineer, assayer and geologist
of this city, went up recently to inspect
the property. After making a careful
examination, Professor Seamon SAYS:
"Anexce edingly fine Showing-a true
iissure vein proven to be ore bearing to
a depth of 30 feet and every indication
that it will continue to great depth
The surface indications give proof of
an unusual large ore chute, from 600 to
800 feet in length. The development
work mapped out by Manager Clifford
is the right idea for the making of a
permanent mine and proves that he
understands his business. There is

Is good shaft City feet deep, In which
the vein shows. As this shaft continues
in depth the vein will pass out Of It to
the east as 1t dips slightly in that dlrec-
ton. Beginning at the northern ex-
tremity OF the claim series of pits, or
open cuts, have been made extending
to near the south shaft and reaching
a depth in places OF twelve feet. These
workings show an ore chute six hundred
and fifty feet long, from one to three
feet in thickness, extending 10 the
maximum depth attained by surround
ing mines up to the present time.
The ore at the surface is highly oxid-
lied and shows that considerable of its
original values have been leached out.
From the large number of samples
taken and assayed it was found that the
silver runs from one dollar to nineteen
dollars to the ton, averaging seven dol
lars; the gold runs from two TO nine
dollars, averaging four dollars aud fifty
cents; the copper runs from four to
thirty-fve dollars, averaging nine dol
lars, making the total average value
twenty dollars and fifty cents. BY care
full asserting of the four hundred tons
of ore taken out from the workings up
to the present time, from one hundred
to one hundred and seventy-fve tons of
high grade ore can be obtained whose
silver, gold and copper values viii
average over fifty dollars to the ton.
RECOMMENDATIONS The two shafts
now started should be continued to
depth of at least two hundred feet and
drifts started at the one hundred, one
hund ed and fifty and two hundred foot
levels before any considerable amount
of ore extracting should be attempted.
In making this recommendation am
influenced by the fact that OF the ore
The Alamogordo news. (Alamogordo, N.M.) 1899-1912, 1900-03-15

so far extracted fully three-fourths of
it can be concentrated at an expense
of not more than two dollars to the ton,
to high grade shipping product. The
ore carries fully 65 per cent of excess
silica, which will probably increase as
depth is obtained, and it is not good
mining to pay hauling freight and smelt-
ing charges on so much waste. There
will be no difficulty found in saving the
values in this ore, using stamps for
crushing the ore, plates for catching
the free gold and silver, and Bartlett,
or Wiley, tables for concentrating the
copper and sulphuret values. Develop
ment should be rapidly pushed to develop
a sufficient quantity of ore to keep a
ten or twenty stamp mill constantly
punning.
| recommend an expenditure of eight
thousand dollars in developing this pro-
pertY, believing every dollar so expend-
ed iudicciousy will increase by ten
times the value of the property. A con-
eentrating plant will cost, ready for OPP
GRAFTON, about fifteen thousand dollars.
as maximum figure, and about two thou
sand dollars more will be required for
properly developing the property.
These amounts should be provided for
in advance so that no unnecessary delay
will occur in equipping the property as
development renders jnstiliable.
In conclusion, desire to say that
everything about this property is en-
couraging; no unfavorable condition
exists at present aud there is nothing
that indicates that difficulties Of any
consequence will be eucounterd Re-
spectfully submitted.

Mr.. Dunn Thinks This is the Best
Place to Locate His
Colony.
WILL bore FOR ARTEgAN WATER
Thus Making the Irrigation of Large
Tracts Possible Satisfied Flowing
Water Can Be Secured at
Shallow Depth.

]. G. Dunn aud wife Of Long Beach,
Calf, arrived 10 Alamogordo, Wednes-
day and are stopping at the Pennsyl-
vania House. Mr. Dunn has been for
years engaged in fruit growing, in Cali
fornia, and is here for the purpose Of
locating colony to engage in that in
dustry, and is very much pleased with
this section. He will remain here for
a couple of weeks looking over the
country, before deciding on location
for his colony. but it is more than prob
able that he will locate near Alamogor-
do. One Of the first things that Mr..
Dunn will eDdeavor to do upon the ar
rival Of his colony will be to secure
artesian water, by which means the ir-
rigation of large tracts will be made
possible.
Since his arrival in Alamogordo Mr..
Dunn has made study of the wells
In this section to the extent that he has
satisfied himself that flowing water can
be secured at comparatively shallow
depth and as his colony consists of fami-
lies that have ample means to secure
water at any cost, the coming of this
colony paves the way for the success
Of an industry that will convert the
now barren stretch OF desert waste that
surrounds the city Of Alamogordo, into
fields of grain and fruitful orchards.
There are thousands OF acres of fertile
lands on every side Of Alamogordo that
only need the plant life giving proper
ties OF water to transform this ctiOn
into land of milk and honey" where
every man can eat OF the fruits Of his
own vine and fruit tree, enrichlng rot
only himself but the town and entire
country.
The colony is to consist of twelve
families that are composed of men who
have had experience in the growing OF
fruits in the sen i-arid regions OF Califor-
MIA, even dryer than this, where they
were eminently successful and fully an.
ticipate the difficulties that so often re.
suit in failures on the part of those who
do not understand fruit raising In the
arid west.
'In California said Mr.. Dunn, "wC
had to go 1000 feet and over for water
and this had to be pumped to. the sur
lace, and still we did not call that 4
dry country, while here plenty Of water
can be secured practically on the sur
face, and 10 my opinion the fruit grow
ing industry can be made far NOR,
profitable here than there. At any rat,
