| The San Jose Concentrating Com
pany in Gold gulch is getting it's plant
f! into first-class shape, and will resume
on New Year. Machinery has been or
dered which will more than double the
capacity of the plant, and will greatly
increase its facilities. A hydraulic szer
and two new Bartlett tables will be
placed in position within week. The
capacity will be increased from twenty
five to sixty tons per day by these i'm
provements. The company has con-
tracts for large quantities of custom
ore, and will also handle the output
| from its own properties. The mills OPP
eratiors have been successful from the
outset, but the litigation following over
| Il controversy over Il water supply,
which was ultimately won by the San
Jose people. interfered greatly with sys-
tematic work.
| =, II. McGrath, formerly of Denver,
| but now of Silver City, has made the
| last payment on the Comanche group
of mines at Burros, to the former own
ers, Messrs. Childers. Manning and
Bates. Mr.. McGrath is organizing a
company to work the claims.
Thompson & Sublett have their main
shaft down to a depth of 1870 feet on the
Sampson group of three claims at Bur-
ros. Nearly the entire working is in
shipping ore.
Shay, Manila & Co. are drifting from
the 10O-foot level on their Klondike
mine at Burros, and are taking out
good shipping ore.
Wiley, Manning & Bates are doing de-
velopment work on their property be-
yond the Mountain Home at Burros.
They are down so feet, and in good ore,
An enormous amount of assessment
work is being done in the Burros dis
trict. G. Emery Stevens, of New York,
who has large holdings is working a
dette. N. c. Rascom, George Fl. Bell P.

The Pinos Altos Mining Company Is
sinking the Gillett shaft from its pres
ent depth of 500 feet an additional 200
feet, or to & depth of 1000 feet. This
shaft is already by far the deepest
working in the camp.
M. Waterbury, who is the principal
stockholder in the Golden Giant Mining
and Milling Company of New York, is
now personally in charge of the opera
tions on the Golden Giant and Man,
moth properties at Pinos Altos. Frank
C. Bell is foreman over the force of
twenty-five men kept steadily at work,
At present the workings are being tim
bered throughout. At the conclusion of
this work, the shaft on the Golden Gil
ant will be sunk from it's present depth
Of 450 feet to 600 feet, and the Mammoth
shaft from 320 to 500 feet. The erection
of orty-stamp mill has been post
poned until the sinking is completed.
The operations Of the Deming Mining
and Milling Company at Deming are
proving very satisfactory. The Maggie
M. mine in Shingle canon, which is
owned by this corporation, is showing
up considerable zinc as greater depths
are reached The ore, as body, is from
10 to 20 feet in thickness, and is opened
80 feet in length by an incline in the
shaft. The ore averages 40 to so per
cent metallic contents. The zinc, which
is sulphide mainly, is exceptionally free
from iron. The product of the Maggie
NJ, as we'll as of other properties owned
by the company, will be at least one
car load per day when the concentrat-
ing plant is ready to handle it. Con-
tracts are being made with mine own
ers in the Florida mountains, Cooks
Peak, Tres Hermanas and other camps
for custom work.
