stock on the market at price greatly
 below what the treasury stock was
 offered for and it resulted in closing
 down the mine. The man who inau-
 gurated this bear movement, after he
 had successfully defeated the manage
 ment in its efforts to work the mine
 and caused it to be closed down, set
 quietly at work to buy up stock and
 is now one of the largest stockhold-
 CTS in the company. Whether he
 will continue to act the dog-in-the
 manager policy again, and harass the company in its efforts to secure money to work the property remains to be seen, There are very few min ing propositions in this county in the development stage which gives bet ter promise of big returns than the Venture Hill, and all that is needed is money to sink on the claims. Good ore has already been encoun- tered, and it is the history of mines in that section that the ore improves with depth.
 Sam Hubbard, Jr. has six men em- ployed in the development of the Queen mine near Iron Springs. He is running a tunnel in on the vein and is in good ore.
 The shaft in the Silver Belt mine is down to depth of 4S0 feet. The ore near the surface of the mine was very rich in silver and it produced large quantities of the white metal during the early days. In drift run at the 35O-foot level it is said that good gold ore was obtained in the mine.
 The turquoise properties, near the Park, owned by John Doty and other eastern capitalists, will resume work at once, under new management so we are informed. Mir. Doty and a gentleman by the name of McNulty, were here this week and took out a load of supplies from J. P. Finegan's store to comence work on.-Chloride Arrow.
 In private letter, written by Sam Powell, from Powells camp, to a friend in Prescott, the writer gives the following mining news of that camp: We are running three eight hour shifts on the Chicago, with a steam hoist. We are down no feet, with two 50-foot cross cuts and no walls yet. All is in ore. We will cross cut again at 150, at POO and run levels and drifts every 50 feet for 200 feet. This is on;the New York, Chi cago and Frisco group. On the other side of the river we are running tun- nels on the Right Bower and Dark Horse. Everything looks good down here. No snow on the south side of the hills, and no ice in the Hassay ampa." t.
 The New Mexican, in connection with an article regarding a wagon road from Santa Fe to the Sulphur hot springs, says; Hon M. s. Otero has erected at the Sulphurs a small experimental mill to prepare the sul phup found in large quantities for market. If this experiment is sue cessful large mill will be erected and the product hauled to Buck mans siding on the Denver & Rio Grande. But even without the de- velopment of this industry, the trade of that part of Bernalillo county is important and valuable. The entire distance is forty-six miles, of which the bushes men of Santa Fe are asked to construct only one and three-quarters miles. MT. Otero will construct the thirteen miles from the Sulphurs to the hill beyond Buck mans, the next one and three-quar- ters miles to the people of Santa Fe are to construct, while from Buck mans to the river, eighteen miles, and the railroad, an excellent road has been constructed and from Buck mans to Santa Fe, thirteen miles, the road is also in fair condition.
 There is unusual activity in the Vulture district these days. The Vulture mine itself is about in the same condition, the owners simply waiting for circumstances to shape themselves so they can do something with their valuable property. But the activity referred to is more partic ularly that of others who are invad ing that section in the exploration of ground that has been travelled over carelessly for years. Gates NJ. Fowler returned yesterday from the Arizal group of five claims, about a mile south of the Vulture, that he has To- cated and owns. He has been doing his assessment work, and says the conditions are flattering. He has wide deposit of gold-bearing rock, and has been taking some good ore out of his shallow workings, though, as mentioned above, it is only pros pect, and he is making no special claims at present. It is known to all familiar with the Vulture region that one can find gold in greater or less quantity most anywhere in that vi cinity. The country at one time or another has all been located for a long distance north of the Vulture, but MT. Fowler's claims are probably the farthest out on the desert on which any practical work has been done. He said that on Mon day he met Messrs Messinger and Bennett of Glendale on an expedition for the examination of a group of claims in the same section owned by a man named Gardham. Quite a number of other -prospectors are rambling around in the same country with water barrels, canteens, grub stakes, powder and drills.
