Mine Notes.

The old anderson group of copper
mines on the Middle Gila, which were
recently purchased. and are now being
operated by the Allesandro Mining
Company are turning out some very
fine ore. The company has force of
twenty-five men at work.
DOEA ANA COUNTY.
Henry and VIM Foy of Los Angeles
are at Las Cruces looking after their
mining interests in the Organ mount
aims.
Eight or nine 10-mule teams passed
through FL Paso on their way from
Marathon, Texas, to the New Mexico
Lead Company's mines In the San An
dreas mountains. They are to be used
in hauling ore from these mines to Las
Cruces and also to transport from Las
Cruces the machinery for a 100-ton
the mines.
In the Torpedo mine, Organ mount
ain district while running a level at
depth of $50 feet large stream Of
water was struck and in eight hours
there We're 65 feet of water in the shaft,
and was rushing in at the rate of 100
gallons per minute. The showings of
the Torpedo so far have been phenom-
email. the mine having been a payer
from the start shipments for August
will be about Is cars. A pump is being
placed in the mine to take, out the
water, after which the output will be
greater than ever.
LINCOLN COUNTY.
Jicarilla is being transformed from a
small camp of placer miners and pros
and the amount of capital going in
there is reaching high into the thou
sands and consequently is a boon to
the White Oaks district.
M. D. Lincoln came to White Oaks
from Gallina, and reports that camp is
still looking up. He and Spence Bros,
are working very promising pospect
at present. They have an assay office
on the ground, and also a concentration
in operation. A shipment of concen-
trates to Pueblo gave them return Of
$55.SS per ton of ore treated. The ore
now being treated runs high in copper,
lead, and silver with some gold
1t Is thought likely that guano caves
may be found in the great caverns Of
the Nal Pals, 20 miles west of White
flow for so or 60 miles tremendous cav
erns and numberless caves exist and
since all guano beds that have yet been
found in this territory are in lava caves,
it is more than likely that rich finds
may be made along the Nal Pals.
This district rapidly is becoming one
of the greatest mining regions in the
southwest, and capital is no longer
timid, as mining has passed the expert
mental stage, and the region is dotted
over with producing and paying prop
critics. The amount Of machinery COM
ing to White Oaks at present is only
very small percentage of the tremend-
Gus shipments that will follow the fur
ther development of properties now In
operation. Machinery of greater ca
ton Boy, the Lady Godiva, and the
South Homestake. This all means more
business and greater expenditure of
money in White Oaks.
SOCORRO COUNTY.
News reached Socorro the first of the
week of great strike in the Keystone
mine over in the Black range. This
is the most important strike of the
season in that district. 1t consists of a
twenty-inch streak Of gold ore running
from 10 to Is ounces to the ton. The
property belongs to Kingsbury Bros.
The mines at Kelly are shipping from
one to three carloads of ore a day.
Most of them are cross-cutting and tun-
neling for the ore beds. 1t Is claimed
that shipping will be more lively in the
near future.
The mining claims abandoned three
years ago by j. s. Fullerton In the
Black range, are now being worked by
the Terry Brothers and are proving to
be a bonanza. Such is luck.
