Ed Kurmeier WAS down from the
Jsrillas from Tuesday night uutil tni,
morning. He says the Jarilla camp i.
still full of life aud believes that by

now being done will be sufficiently
developed to cause the camp to be
employing many miners and sendin &
Its share Of regular shipments to the
smelter. There Is not discouraging
feature In the camp and every body IT,
, terested is fully satisfied with the
results OF the work being done.
Mining At BarreaI.
A. j. King is up from the Bsrreal
district where he and j. A. Jones are
openipe np silver and copper proper
ty. Mr.. King brought some samples to
be assaye1, some OF which shows 1860
ounces OF silver and PSI per cent cop

rney have now sunk one sixty foot
and two forty foot shafts and any num-
Der of cuts. They are working twelve
men and intend to sink their shafts &C

hen run levels and block out the ore
There lie q good wagon road to Barreal
station on the Sierra Madre road,
when they get ready to ship they will
rot have any difficulty in getting
their ore to market.
In sinking the shafts they have en-
countered q vein of ore that contains
from one to three hundred ounces of
silver and from five to fifteen per cent
copper. They have come Of the ore

A Red Hot Camp
A man from the turquoise mining
camp in the Dragon mountains In
Arizona says that q camp of the
genuine western type has been es-
tablished there and IL Is what you
might call q warm camp in more
senses of the term than one. Besides q
wonderful deposit OF mineral wealth
they have saloons, gan oilers with their
female companions, and In fact every
thing that is necessary to make a
Slue-Aw.ke mining camp. For a die
.ance OF thirty miles there are valua-
ole copper properties being rapidly
developed.
One OF these, the Copper Belt Com
papy, is down 300 feet and the hiv
grsde ore from IL is being hauled TO
Cochise and shipped to the FL Paso
smelter while the low grade Is Leld
there to be smelted.
Ryan Bros, Rogers * McKit:rick
have developed fine body Of ore and
are erecting = new sssay office on their
property. George f. Reckhsrt,
brother of the popular sssayer, d. w.
Reckhart, OF this city, lie 10 have
chs rye OF this Office.
TIE Great Western company Is an
other that Is shipping high grade cop
per ore tosthe Ell Paso smelter from
this district. The Black Diamond
com pany is shipping some ore To Ell
Pa, but is holding the most of it for
treatment on the ground. The proper.
ty OF this company bids fair to be One
OF the biggest producers In the coun-
try.
Many properties in this copper belt
are being worked in business-like
manner ard all are givin ~ the GENERATORS
great encouragement, while others are
Hooking in ana opening up new claims.
This is another OF the districts that
Ell Paso should encourage to continue
shipping ore here by erecting another
smelH for email custom work. There
are places nearer to this district that
are liable to put up one. but IL Ell Psso
would get one up first they would not
consider the erection OF one for at least
several years yet.
