o. r. Mars hall is the lucky owner of
group of three claims half mile
from the Little Jessie mine, in Bigbug
district, which have all the symptoms
that have been encountered in almost
all the prospects in this section which
have proved TO be paying mines or
bDuauza-. The feature Of this group
is a number of parallel strimgerS of ore
along the surface and encountered
short distance below the surface, all
appearing to tend toward common
center or II combination INTO one ledge.

Development of the Sierra Madre
region of Mexico will most assuredly
in the near future create several states
as populous, wealthy and productive
a. the state of Colorado is now. The
Sierra Madre is the southern prOlon-
CATION of the same great mountain
system. including the same geological
horizons, the same kinds of formations,

ledges or vein. During fifty years
! there has been going forward a very
active mineral development in ColOra-
do. and the end is not yet Every
year new and important discoveries
are made, and each years work upon
old ones develop greater and richer
bodies of ore as depth is attained.
During the past twenty five years that
development of Colorado and ada.
cent states has been greatly FASTENED
by extension of a great railway system
through the Rocky mountain. 1t is a
costly operation to pack mining sup.
plies aud mining machinery upon the
backs of mules across lofty mountain
ranges and over the deep chasms there
in at the bottom of which flow raging
torrents. Only mines producing the
richest of ores in large quantities can
bear expenses so heavy. But railways
surmount the mountain ranges, bridge
the chasms and convey the necessary
machinery and supplies at minimum
of cost, making it possible to work
