Maj. w. H. H. Lewellyn, who is large
| ly interested in the Jarilla mining
camp, when interviewed recently in All.
| amogordo, said: There is better feel
ing in that district now than there ever
| has been, owing to increased activity on
the part OF great many of the owners
OF property there. A majority of the
claim owners are at work getting out
shipping ore, instead of standing around
idle and asking fabulous prices for their
claims, no matter If they only possessed
| q prospect hole, as was formerly the
| rule. This is a very good indication,
and l predict that the shipments of ore
from the district will continue to in
crease steadily until the Jarillas will
become one of the best producing
| camps in the southwest. George Lynch,
deputy United States mineral surveyor,
| has commenced the survey of the Ala
| bama group of five claims for the Ala
| bama Gold and Copper Mining Com
pany at Jarilla, preparatory to that
| company obtaining patents for them.
The Philadelphia conioaEy, is just COM
pleting large structure to be used as
boarding and bunk house and office
at Perkville. They are also running an
incline to the south from the bottom of
their 60-foot shaft, and have encoun-
/ tered very good ore. The Kelly broth
ers, who recently purchased leases and
property from Christ. Yaeger at Jarlla
| loaded and shipped two cars of ore at
| the switch at the Lucky mine. They
| have ordered hosting machinery for
| their properties, and it will soon be in
place, and by October l they will be
shipping on an average of one car per
day from the Jarillas. Work is being
pushed rapidly on the Monarch mine at
ri 1,, i ~.
| l5O-foot level, which will place the COM
pany in a position by the 1st of the
| month to ship one car day from this
property. There is also a good deal of
| work being done at the north end of the
Jarillas, where Charles O'Neill and his
associates are operating. A great many
applications for patents to property in
the Jarilla district will be made this
fall and winter"
SIERRA COUNTY.
The Blackey mine at Kingston has
been leased.
1t is said that the ore last shipped
from the May mine at Chloride netted
the owners a little more than $l75 a
ton after deducting freight and smelter
charges.
Chris RugSegger is opening up his
new find ON the Great Eastern at Chic
ride. The ore is copper glance and car
Donate, and the solid mineral varies
from 6 to s inches in width. He has
sunk only few feet on it as yet, but is
opening it up as fast as possible.
B. S. Phillips, of Denver, and s. B..
Kennedy, of Colorado Springs, came to
Hillsboro last week. Professor Kenne-
dy examined the Grafton district for
considerable distance along the mother
vein and on each side of it, taking a
large number of samples with him on
his return last Monday. B. S. Phillips
still remains, but will leave the latter
part Of the week.
