SOCORRO COUNTY.

F. X. Eberle has put force of men
doing development work on his Clifton
and Eberle mines, near Mogolon, and,
if the results warrant will likely erect
mill to handle the product.
Colorado parties have purchased the
group owned by Messrs. Wilkie, Lau-
derbach and Selshaw between the
Queen and Silver Bar properties, at
Cooney, and have commenced develop
ment work upon the same.
A rich strike is reported from Mo-
gollon camp on the Last Chance on the
5O0-foOt level. The ore is of very high
grade. the vein being 10 feet in width.
The vein was found on what was first
supposed to be the hanging wall.
John Lambert is taking out some very
high grade ore from his development
work on his Golden Eagle mine at Mo-
gollon. The ore will run about $3.50 to
the ton, averaging two-thirds gold to
one-third silver. He will shortly make
a shipment.
In the Cooney district the Silver Bar
company is opening big body of ore.
force Of twenty-five men is employed,
and more ore is being taken out than
can be handled by the mill. A well is
being sunk for the purpose of obtaining
a better water supply Regular ship
ments are being made, and handsome
profits are made.
The Kat and Kittens company at
Cooney is taking out good ore right
along. Eight Willy concentrating ta-
bles have been installed in the Queen
mill, which has been rented by this
company. About ten men are employed
at present doing development work.
The ore will average s25 per ton, in ad
dition to which some very high grade
mineral is being found
GRANT COUNTY.
D. Bauman, A. r. Graham and Fl. G.
Noel, of st. Louis, last week made the
first payment on the Maggie M. mine in
Shingle canon. 1t is great zinc prop
erty. The ore will be shipped to DEM
ing, where a concentrator will be built.
The Golden Giant Mining Company,
which purchased the Golden Giant, Es-
Altos, Is pushing the preparatory work.
George r. Brown is surveying the prop
critics, and all the machinery is on the
way. They will have a gasoline hoist
on the Golden Giant mine and dia-
mond drill for the Mammoth mine. W.
s. Gage, mining expert, is in charge.
COLFAX COUNTY.
Judge Wallace is operating his placer
ground on the Ponil.
Baron Won ZuyIen is running ore from
the Paragon mine on his mill near
Elizabethtown.
Placering to some extent is being
carried on on both the Ute creek and
Ponil side of the mountain, water be-
ing ample for all needs.
The large companies in the vicinity
of Ute creek are all dormant-either
tied up by litigation or ceased opera
tions. The active development is being
done mostly by individual owners.
The strike on the Mystic, which is To-
Gated on the east side of Badly, near
Mike Kane's cabin, was uncovered in a
drift disclosing feet of ore, which will
mill from 500 to $25 per ton of gold. 1t
is free milling ore, and means that the
Mystic will soon be heavy producer.
Four men are pushing development
on the Guerrilla property, near Eliza
bethtown, and Manager Biddle is oper-
ating the mill. Mr.. Biddle was in Ra-
ton to attend the annual meeting of the
stockholders Of his company. His re-
port was quite satisfactory to those in
terested, and development work will
continue to be actively prosecuted on
their claims.
