Major s. M. Davis writes as follows
fro San Msrcial, N. M, in regard to
his progress in collecting mineral fer
the chamber of commerce exhibit:
Since leaving Las Cruces, l have
taken in the Socorro and Msgdslena
district, and herewith report the
result of my trip. 1 found the people
much interested in the chamber of
resources before the world.
Mr.. G. T. Brown, the secretary and
manager of the Buckeye Mining Co
has taken hold of the matter with
vim. That means big display of all
mines in the Magdalena district. also
large gold display from the Black
mountain district which lies eighty
miles west of Socorro. You may look
for display from the Hardscrabble
and lead ore. They are shipping a
carload day to the Ell Paso smelters,
and the mine is one of the big dividend
payers OF the camp. The Janietta
mine, located also in the same district
is regular shipper OF lead and silver
and promises to be great producer,

add her millions to the worlds wealth.
The energetic editor OF the Chief
tain tells me that since he thoroughly
understands what the Ell PssO cham
Der of commerce intends doing for the
mining camps that surround Ell Paso,
he will take hold and do his share in
| arOusing the mining men hereabouts
TO the benefits that will result from
having their part of the country we'll
represented in the mineral display at
Ell Paso. Much credit must be given
the press of the surrounding country
for It's splendid work in this direction.
1 dropped off here at San Marcisl
on my way down to Socorro to see
what was in and around San Marcia.
1 met Mr.. J. E. Nichols and Mr.. Char

are developing a property, bout thirty
miles west of San Marcisl that give 8
great promise. They have ten STAMP

which is running day and night and has
been for three years, and the property
has paid from the grass roots down. The
property is paying all developing work
and something left, and they have not
In the whole three years stopped out one
pound of ore. They told me that they
would take great pleasure in sending
an exhibit to the chamber of COM
merce. The breast of ore holds its
own, all the way down with an average
width of seven feet. This is another
piece Of properly that will come to the
front as producer soon. Mining
men should look into this dis
trict. They might pick up bonanza
makers.
