he was 90 the delayed Santa Fe train
and got to Deming too late to catch
the regular train and so came up on a
freight that night, and caught the
early train out Monday morning.
Owing to the machinest's strike he
has had some trouble in purchasing
his machinery. He intended to buy
most of it of the Allis-C Chalmers com
paoy, at Chicago, but was able only to
buy a little there, the little he did
buy being of finished stock the COM
pany happened to have on hand. He
purchased his boilers in one city, his
engines in another, and the rest of his
machinery 10 various other cities. He
is quite sure that the strike will make
no more serious delay in the building
Of the machinery. If there is no de-
lay be expects to have the machinery
coming along so rapidly that he will
be able to have it up and commence
the work Of reducing ores to copper
sometime this year. When the ma
chinery contracted for is set up he
will have two 300 ton stacks in opera
ton.
superintendent Cook Of the Aber.
deem says that he has got the boiler
he purchased from the Humboldt
company Ia place. Owing to the wet
weather the roads were soft, and it
was quite a job to get the boiler where
he wanted it. AS soon as he IA get
the boiler walled up and in shape to
make steam he will install his pump.
With the pump working he expects to
be able to keep the water out of the
Malachite, and will put on three shifts
of men and sink it as fast as possible.
The boiler is really a portion Of the
concentrating plant, and will be used
to furnish steam for that as well as for
the pumps and hoist on the Malachite.
He has the Atlantic down to a depth
Of 100 feet, where IL shows two feet Of
high grade copper ore, carrying silver.
He is prosecuting the vein on the
Manila, to see what is there, and ex-
poets to put up a hoist on it and sink
several hundred feet The ore body
in the Earle is looking well, having
improved with the recent develop
ment work. 1t now shows two feet Of
high grade silver lead ore. The Ar
kansas is a new claim on which Super
intendent Cook has recently COM
menced work. He has a shaft down
thirty feet, at the bottom Of which is
a good body of galena ore which assays
4S per cent lead and carries eight
ounces of silver.
