GOING INTO THE JiCARILLAS.
American Placer CO. Has purChd-
sed 5000 Acres Of Ground From
the JiCarilld Placer Company.

One of the biggest mining deals ever
known in this section of New Mexico,
says the White Oaks Eagle, was
consummsted here last week, by the
sale of 5000 acres of placer, ground by
the Jicsrilla Placer Cot the American
Placer Co.
The American Placer Co. Is mann
moth corporation backed by New York,
Cleveland and Chicago capital, aud ls
one among the greatest placer mining
concerns in North America. The
company has made large investm ents
in other districts of New Mexico, one
of which Is Hillsboro.
The company will go to work IN the
Jicarillas Immediately. A 2SO0 feet
capacity Pennsylvania oil well drill
will arrive this week, with thorough
ly competent man from the Oil regions
of Pennsylvania to run it. Men have
already been employed to begin work
BE soon as the machine is up.
1t was originally the intention or the
. Jicarilla Placer Co. to pipe water to
the place from the CAPTAIN Mountains,
distance of p miles, butwhen negotia-
tions were opened with the American
Placer Co., in 1899, this plan was aoan-
doned for the reason that it was though t
that Is miners inches, the amount OF
water necessary to run the hydraulic
machine, could be easily developed on
the ground.
Favorable reports were sent In by
the company's repre-: entastves and the
deal was formally closed with proviso
that contiguous claims should De pur-
chased by the Jicarilla Placer Co. and
included In the deal. This WIS done
and deeds passed to the American
Placer Co. last week. when the sale
was made known.
In addition to the drill. the com
pauy has ordered hydraulic machine
which Ia now in process OF construction
and which Ia contracted to be delivered
IN May.
The 5000 acres of ground will keep
the company busy for several years to
work 1t out, and their enterprise Will
be the means of furnishing employment
to large number of men and thous-
auds of dollars will be spent as conse-
oueuce here and In the Jicarillss.
