VALUABLE COPPER MINES.
Properties That are Now BOnanzas
Because of the Advanced
Price of Copper.
SAN ANDREAS AND WHITE MOUNTAINS
New Railway Facilities Insure Cheap and
Prompt Conveyance to the Smelters
Sections That Have Never
Been Developed.

Copper mines are plentiful in New
Mexico, which years ago were prospect
ed, but which. owing to the slump in cop
per, were abandoned, but would today
prove good fields for investment.
The 0scura mountains, a low, dark
range, show copper from its north point
in limited quantity, as well as gold and
silver. A camp was established about
twenty years ago on the southwest slope,
quite down to the base in the foothills
and was called Hausenberg. There
large deposits of glance oxides and of
carbonates were opened, much of the
ore carrying $50 to $40 in gold and silver
the latter predomnating.
Five miles south of the north end of
San Andreas are the dripping springs1
They are on the east slope and 300 feet
above the wagon road in the granite
cliffs. Within six miles of these springs
there are fully fifty properties opened
some them to a depth of 200 feet, which
were sunk and timbored in 1852. There
is also shaft over 100 feet deep sunk
on a lead vein or dixie that is over 100
feet wide. Twenty miles south of this is
Good Fortune camp, that shows even
better grades Of copper and more silver
than the north end Between Dripping
Springs and Good Fortune camp, is the
old camp of Capt. Jack Crawford, the
poet scout, who did several years of as
seSsmentS on number Of claims with
good results.
Some ten miles south of Fort Stanton
and the Fort Craig road, and about five
miles east of the mouth of Bear canon
and ten miles east of Good Fortune
camp, well down in the foothills, there
are found groupings OF copper ore, sui
phide and black copper that run from
20 to 30 per cent copper and about the
same number of ounces in silver and S.
in gold. No work was ever doue or Ioca-
tion made in that immediate neighbor.
hood.
Near TularOsa, on the southwest slope
of the Sierra blanca or White mountain,
there is an old copper mine that at one
time showed feet of solid copper glance
ore that carried so ounces of silver val
ue with it. Both the White and San
Andreas mountains, about fifty miles
apart, show copper almost down to the
Mexico and Texas lines. The scarcity
of water, no railroads nor smelterS, and
the low price of copRer for many years

GREAT COPPER DEPOSITS
That at One Time Furnished a
Basis for a PopulOus and
Prosperous City.
TREASURE BURIED IN THE OLD RUINS
By the Priests of Gran Quivera The Jour
ney Of Death. Across the Nal
Pais-Unexplored Vol
oano Crater.

Near the Gran Quivira ruins, about
thirty miles east of the Manzana noun
tains, there are great copper deposits
The ruins are reported to have been the
homes Of 100000 people at one time.
Immediately south and west is the
largest crater of the Nal Pals or an
cient lava beds, and the conclusion is
that through this crater aud others
which abound in that section, ashes
and lava were thrown over the people
of Gran Quivira, which forced them to
abandon their once large city and to
flee from sthe valley. Tradition has it
that the priests buried the treasures of
the church in some of the houses of the
old ruins. Enough confidence was
shown in the tradition by Professor
Longanmere, of Socorro, that he in
duced some priests from Albuquerque
to 60 with him early in the sos, and
they explored the ruins. The Gran
Quivira is about sixty miles northwest
of Alamogordo, and it is situated at the
head of a long dry valley, about 200
miles long and fifty wide, which is
known as the Journey OF heath. The
lava flow of the Nal Pias is seventy-ive
miles long north and south down the val
ley, or one prong of the valley, from the
Gran QuiviIa. The width of the flow is
from one-half to three miles, and the
upper crater at the north end has been
explored or descended 200 feet from the
surface, Tho Gran Quivira and the
north end of the Nal Pals is of easy ac-
cess by wagon, but there is no water
for man or beast. Wells were sunk In
1880 by Ex-Governor Stover, but with
out success. 1t would be a beautiful
pastoral or agricultural region if water
could be had, and artesian boring should
bring 1t short distance from the strike

The coal business on the FL Paso x
Northeastern road has increased 50
materially, and proven such a success
that the company is now making ar
rangements to handle the output with
greater cheapness and dispatch.
The road has heretofore been using
leased cars for the coal traffic, but find
ing that they cannot always get sufli-

new coal cars of their own. This they
think will enable them to handle the
