the steadily increasing volume of bust
ness incident to its being the official and

richly m%ineralized land known as the
Ortiz mine grant. These lodges and
placer deposits have been worked for
several hundred years, and have yielded
several million dollars in gold. The Or
tiz mine grant has been sold to a pow
erful syndicate, headed by Thomas A.
Edison, and the world-renowned in
ventor expects soon to demonstrate the
practical utility of what he regards as
the browning invention of his life by
rescuing the gold from the sand, gray
Ell, cement and qaArtz of this grant by
means of an electrical process of his
own, and without the aid of water. The
construction of his experimental plant
is now well under way. After thorough
ly testing the appliance the success of
which is not doubted, reduction works
of mammoth proportions will be con-
structed.
NEW PLACERS DISTRICT.
A few miles southwest Of Dolores is
situated the extensive New Placers
mining district, which comprises the
numerous rich gold and silver bearing
lode claims in the hills around Golden
and in the neighboring Tuerto noun
tains; the great gold, silver and copper
mines around San Pedro, two miles fur
Their south, and several miles of pay
placer ground. This district unquestion-
ably holds values to the amount of mil
lions of dollars, and as development
work is prosecuted the showing con-
stantly improves. Two groups of cop
per mines near San Pedro, known as
Santa Fe No. l and Santa Fe No. 2, en-
bracing sixteen patented claims, were
recently transferred to the Santa Fe
Gold and Copper Mining Company for
a consideration estimated to be equiva-
lent to $3.50, 900.
