very large quantities from the western
Dart of the United States for years to

loing successful business in manu-
'acturing lines sufficiently extensive to
give the copper producers an opportuni-
ty to dispose Of all the output not de-
manded for export Copper has rule
almost year now at 16 to II cents a
pound. 1t is useless to print statistics
in proof Of the statement that the in
crease In the production of the metal
still falls far short Of the increase in
consumption. This fact is now general
ly accepted, and all the conditions are
such at this moment as to make 1t an
absolutely safe prophecy that contin-
nous stream Of money awaits the own
ers Of every copper producing property
in the Rocky mountains. Is 1t any won

far-seeing of the country's great pro-
fessional and business men are invest

RIO HONDO COPPER COMPANY.
A representative of this paper had the
pleasure few days ago of making a
visit to the immense properties Of the
Rio Hondo Copper Company, situated
at the head of Deep river. thirty miles
east of Tres Piedras. on the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad, and eighteen miles
from the county seat of Taos county.
Through the courtesy Of William Fra
SER discoverer of the mines and present
mine manager for the company, the
truth-seeker spent two days on the
property, and was given carte blanche
to explore every part Of 1t thoroughly,
with permission to write Of 1t as he
found it--a concession which at once in
dicates the boundless faith and conf
dence the former owner has in the COM
pany's holdings Some history Of these
superb possessions, their discovery and
development, Is the object Of this arti-
Gle, written with view to the ,stimula-
tion Of others to follow Mr.. Fraser's ex-
ample in his persistent and untiring ef-
forts toward the upbuilding Of the min
ing industry in New Mexico.

PROVING ITS VALUE.


Attention was then devoted to a
thorough opening of the immense lodges
with view to proving up their miner
al worth. This was done by means of
tunnels, wines, drifts and open cuts.
requiring years of patient labor and
much money, and to-day there are fifty
various openings on the property, all
exposing mineral. In all about 2,SOO feet
of development work has been done.
chiefly by means of tunnels, wisely To-
Gated, so as to crosscut the main ore
bodies in the several claims resting one
above another up and down the noun
tain.
The principal development Is shown
in tunnels Nos and 2. The former has
been run in 1872 feet, has a winze 3S feet
deep, and 200 feet of crosscut work has
been done, revealing immense bodies of
loW-grade ore cut by large veins Of
high-grade ore over 10 feet in width
and which can be traced on the surface
for over 3,400 feet. One car lot ship
ment from this tunnel, treated at a
Pueblo (Colo.) smelter, yielded ounce
in gold, 30 per cent copper and 20 ounces
in silver. Two tons of selected ore from
the same vein yielded 35 ounces in gold
Down the mountain 500 feet is tunnel
No. 2. Here tram railway is operated,
and pay ore is going into the dump ev-
cry hour of the day and night. A new
and substantial building has just been
over the mouth of this tunnel to
house in the air appliances, tools, etc.,
and warm and comfortable apart
ment is provided for the miners. The
tunnel is now in 440 feet, and three
shifts of miners are kept
at work driving it further in.
The tunnel cuts the mineral formation
here diagonally, and the expectation is
that it will encounter the hanging wall

foot vein Of high-grade ore lying
against the hanging wall and exposing
it nearly 1000 feet below the surface
groupings. And in driving this tunnel
the miners have been in pay ore prac-
tically all the way after penetrating the
surface wash.

through, and little further on they cut

good pay ore that, is fully 100 feet in
width. Daily samples are taken by Su-
perintendent Fraser from the breast of

called, that being the name Of the claim,
and forwarded to the office of the COM

they are turned over to Charles J.

and metallurgy, 80 Water street. The
returns from some of these and the
dates on which they were taken from

ORE IN SIGHT.
The Term "ore in sight" can scarcely
be used In arriving at conclusion as
to the amount Of pay ore now available
on these properties and ready for the
mill and furnace. The fact is there Is

It; the creeks and streams cut through

HOW RUSSIA GRABS TERRITORY
Frank G. Carpenters Account of an
Instructive Instance of the Working
of Russia's Diplomacy.

In the Christmas number of the Sat
urday Evening Post, Frank G. Carpen-
ter, who has recently spent the better
part of year in the east, gives many
facts of Russia's advance in Asia, and
relates the following incident:
THE powers have practically agreed
that Manchuria is to be the property
Of Russia, and within a short time, in
all probability, all the Chinese terri
tory beyond the great wall will belong
to the car. The boundary line be-
tween Siberia and Mongolia is being
slowly pushed southwark.

dairy line. which the Russians had NOV

of Manchurian and Monaghan soil. A
war was imminent, and the Chinese

compromise. The Russians consented
and brought forth a map showing the
territory they demanded. The Chin
csc threw up their hands in horror
and said their lives would be endan-
gered if they presented such a treaty
to their emperor. All right sala the
Russians, If that is SO, we will take

tent OF Asiatic Russia. 1t is about one
