final payment and will afford them an
opportunity to secure them. But we
believe they will watch in vain. Mr..
Ballou knows a good thing when he
sees it.
An FL Paso dispatch says: A big |
mining deal was closed this week at .
Parral, in the state of Chihuahua, as a
result of which the Alta Vista mine
becomes the property of Edward J.
Carter and other capitalists of Chi

Torres of Parral and Carlos Machund
of Torren, and the price paid them is
in the ueighborhood of l0OOOO$. The
mine is a lead silver proposition, and
the claim embraces about fifteen per-
tinencias. The ore body is from three
to five feet in width and carries good
values. Mr.. Carter was seen today
and acknowledged that he and his as
sociates had bought the property. He
! further stated that it was the intention
to at once put in a concentrating plant
with a capacity of about fifty tons,
which would be increased with devel.

manager, is operating quite extensively

The holdings of the company embrace
some seventeen claims, and the ores
