complished, there gathered to-day rep
resentatives of every government de-
partment and representatives of many
foreign powers to pay tribute to tn.
memory of John Sherman. The funeral
services were at the Sherman home on

while tiie production of copper in this
country goes on at an undiminished
rate, the demand for this most useful of
all metals has simultaneously increased
until now every pound of it is absorbed
in the arts and industries of the world
in a fashion that is truly astounding
Copper production in the United States
for the first six months of this year in
creased 10000 tons, or per cent, over
last year, while our shipments of the
metal abroad in the same period in
creased nearly one-third. The foreign
demand for American copper is insa-

sumption has advanced by leaps and
bounds, and this country has been
called upon since January 1 to the pres
ent time continuously to ship abroad
64.6 per cent of the entire home prod
uct. These gigantic shipments represent

eXaggeration about this; the carping
expert or doubling layman is invited to
go and see for himself, and Mine Man
ager Fraser will entertain him well
and provide him with every facility for
critical examination of all these vast
properties.
TREATMENT OF THE ORES.
For the treatment of these ores the
company has decided to put in next
spring concentrating plant of 500 tons
daily capacity to be run in connection
with series of reverberatory furnaces.
The motive power will be supplied from
the two forks of the Rio Hondo. which
at low water give $40 cubic feet Of wa
ter per minute, with vertical fall of
635 feet. Four power stations have been
located along the main stream, which
for future use will provide all the DOW
er, including electricity, which can pos
sibly be required, even for the operation
of an electric railway from the mines
down the canon and into Taos valley,
there to connect with-it now seems
probable--the Rock Island road, which
at this writing is said to have survey
ors in the field stalking it's new trans
continental route over Taos pass.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.
All the conditions for the economic
mining and treatment of ores seem to
prevail here. The climate is an ideal
one; there is an abundance of timber
for all purposes; lime, iron and lead for
fluxes; the purest water in great vol
rme, and the situation of the mines is
such that in operating them there will
be no expensive hosting of ore from
shafts or pumping of water-always a
heavy item of cost in most of the
worlds great copper producers Here
only tunnels are required to open the
ere bodies, and from the time the min
eral leaves its place in the vein till it
strikes the ore bins in mill and smelter
all is done by gravity. On this account.
with proper machinery installed. as
there will be in the spring, ores of very
low grade can be protitably treated

further development. He spent one win
ter working alone in building a mill
after his own ideas, and the result was
crude plant consisting of six nine-foot
arrastras. To this he packed on burros
the oxidiZed ores taken from the sur
face groupings on the mountain and
treated them, cleaning up $4,000 in gold,
some Of the nuggets weighing and
ounces This revenue in hand gave him
start for systematic development
work He was unable to operate the ar
rastras long, however, because only the
ores that had been long exposed to the
elements were oxidized sufficient to free
the gold therein, and the great mass of
the veins was too refractory to pay by
the crude arrastra method of treatment.
He set men at work opening the big
gold-copper lodges at innumerable
places, and tried another experiment to
get quick cash returns. This time 1t was
In the line of placer mining. On the
southwest face of Fraser mountain is a
slide Of loose rock 1000 feet long, 500
feet wide and 80 feet thick, that in ages
have been Clipped off the big veins by
the action Of the cold and heat and air,
and rolled down the gulch, forming this
mass. 1t Is all mineralized: every pound
of it will pay to run through a mill, as
repeated tests by visiting experts show
It to average from $3.50 to SO per ton,
and 1t is estimated there are over 6O0,-
900 tons in the pile. Well, Mr.. Fraser
put in sluice boxes, built ditch from
Fraser creek and let the water loose
down the mountain side. BY this proc
ess he took out an average Of ounce
Of gold per day from this loose slide
rock, but here again he found that his
copper and silver values were being
lost. The whole mass has scattered
through 1t large and small particles of
copper in all its various forms-mala-
chite, azurite, red oxides and sulphides
-and when the miner saw these values
escaping and looked at that great gulch

GOLD-SILVER PROPERTIES.
But this refers to only a fractional
part of the Rio Hondo Copper Com
pany's holdings in this vicinity. The
Fraser mountain group proper, consist

Silver King, Cap Sheaf and other
claims, cover an area of 600 acres, and
in addition the company owns the Cy-
clone, Empire, Iron Gold, Mossback and
Peerless groups, comprising $40 acres
more, and located in the immediate vi
cinity of Fraser mountain. On the Moss
back claim they are running a tunnel,
now in 40 feet, to cut the vein in the

is 12 feet in width.

progress on the Peerless group, where a

Millions of Dollars Worth of Ore in Sight and Can

of the Rio Hondo Copper Company at Amizett
IN
A PERSISTENT PROsPECTOR.


The developed property of the Rio
Hondo Copper Company. lies on and
about Fraser mountain, one of the main
chain of the Rockies, which rears it's
crest nearly 10000 feet above sea level,
and stands at the head of one of the
most beautiful and picturesque canons
imaginable, down which flows the Hon.
do rtver, swift, clear and never failing.
The s1iineral district round about it is
undeveloped, practically all the work
been done by Mr.. Fraser He located at
the mouth of the canon over twenty
years ago, and after much patient re-
search, characteristic of his hardy and
quiet Scotch descent, he discovered
these properties and set about their de-
velopment. For twenty years he has
been thus engaged, most of the time
working single-handed and alone. On
his first trip to the head of the canon,
some eight miles from his home, it took
him two days to cut trail through the
vines and shrubs and thick timber along
the river To-day one can drive to the
mines in carriage any day in the year
over broad and well-built road, as
good as any turnpike, and which it cost
him $4,000 to construct.
SAVING THE GOLD.
Upon making his first locations Mr..
Fraser set about intelligently to devel-
op the property. His means were limit
ed, and his first aim was to convert the
fruits of his labor into money to go into

DEVELOPMENT COST.
Up to date about $4,000 has been ex-
pended in developing these claims. At
present thirty men are employed. Good
roads have been built all over the prop
erty. number of good houses erected,
such as dwellings. boarding house and
shops. Also. plans have just been re-
ceived from Bucyrus, O.. for fire-clay
rlant, which will be built this winter
A 15-foot vein of excellent fire clay has
been opened, and from this will be
made the fire brick for the company's
reverberatory furnaces. The plant will
have a capacity of 5000 fire brick per
Cay.
SALE OF THE PROPERTY.
r. B. Turner of Butte. Mont. a nota-
BILE authority on copper, made the final
report in March last upon which this
splendid mineral-bearing zone was
bought from Mr.. Fraser and passed to
the control of DR.. William Brandreth.
Of New York. and his associates. Be
sides securing a good round sum in
cash, Mr. Fraser is also a heavy stock
holder in DR.. Brandreth's company. the

l.oration is organized under the laws of
Arizona. and was capitalized at $10.00O,-

which these tunnels and drifts are now
being driven have been opened, and pay
ore exposed therein, for a distance of
over 1900 feet even to the Red River
side of the range, where Lynch & Low
cry, of Elizabethtown, have located ex-
tensions of the Fraser lead; and they
have made money enough and had ex-
perience enough not to put their name
stakes on claim that doesn't carry
pay.
The general formation is hydro-mica
schist, cut occasionally by great por-
phyry and iron dikes, the schists being
much stratif1ed, with strike to the
northeast, and where not broken dip to
the north so to 80 degrees from the hor-
izontal. The veins dip and strike with
the formation, and the vein matter is
made up of quartz and schist, both car
rying mineral.
ENORMOUS PROFITS.
1t has been estimated by l. M. Gill
man, well-known copper expert, who
spent month on Fraser mountain
sampling and assaying ores, that the
average values in the exposed bodies
was about per cent copper, $4.17 gold
and ounces in silver, and he figured
the amount of ore then in sight at $780,
900 tons, (which can be taken out with
out the use of hosting or pumping ma
chinery, and would supply reduction
plant of 500 tons daily capacity for
twenty-six years" On this basis, and
estimating the price of copper at only
S1a cents per pound, Mr. Gilman calcu-
lated that such mill, run by water
power, would yield daily profit of $5,-
1856. But since these figures were COM
piled a great deal more development
has been done, exposing to view nearly
twice the quantity of pay ore found to
be in sight by Mr.. Gilman and as cop
per is now selling at about II cents. the
profits from treating this ore in a 500
ton mill would be nearer $4,000 per day.
while the ore supply on hand would be
sufficient to run such a mill for about
fifty years.
Air compressors and drills have been
)rdered and as soon as these are placed
