Bishop Rowe Plans For
 Summer.

Just before Bishop p. T, Rowe lsit Seattle he gave very interesting Inter view Co Post-lntslllgencsr reporter. He Implled ln his statement that next sum- msr he would visit the missions within the Arctic cIrcle. That part of the Inter view, also his other plans arc as follows;
 "I win winter ln Sltka, and expect to start overland with dog slsdges on March [, going over the Tanlnl divide and down the river. We have Indian schools all through this section. but more on the Tsnana side. The Copper River Indians speak the same dialect as to the Ianana Indians. The only work done among these tribes by any religious Denomination Is performed by ourselves. Mysprng trip win eventually include a visit Co the Eskimo ln the Arctic circle. We have two missions among the EsNlmos, but, owing Co the great distance, I am only able to v.sl, the missions once in three wears. Ny work this year proved much more encouraging than in previous years.

The audacity of those Home Rule

taking that last word OF their name,
according to swill-bucketfuls of animal

American Gold Mining Company.

Closely associated with the Eagle Mining
q Improvement Company, is the American
Gold Mining Company.
1t is under almost the same management
and most of the stockholders in the one own
stock in the other. The American is also
a consolidation of almost all the mines of a
mining district, some eighty-one claims ag-
gregatlng over 1900 acres, being included
in the company's holdings. OF these mines
two are now being worked, and from these
alone dividends are now being paid regular
ly at the rate OF one per cent. per month,
with an equipment of a fifteen stamp mill.
new fifteen stamp mill is now nearing
completion; it is SO located that the ore can
be brought to it by tramway5 on a down
grade from almost ali the mines. The
stamps Of the American mill will be moved
to the new location and by February T.
1903 it is expected that thirty stamps will
be in operation. Much development work
has been done. It is estimated that a mil
lon IONS OF orc are now IN Slght, aSSay1ng
SIS per ton. The cost for milling is $3
per ton.
In addition to this, there is ore in paying
quantities on almost every claim, and there
are at least eight of these claims that are rs
rich at present working as either of the
two now being worked and of such value
that any one of them would warrant cap
italization OF 81, ,ooo,o 90. according to the
estimate of an experienced and conservative
mining man of Colorado, who recently in
spccted the property The entire capitali-
zaton of the entire consolidation of gold
mines is 1000, 600. 1t is considered a
giltedged property

known to exist and has been worked to a
profit, though in small way, for dozen
years. Four years ago, however, there
came to Lincoln county man with the in
sight to see that this was situation requir-
ing work on large scale. He was a man
of large comprehension, indomitabie will
and the rare ability to get men TO work to-
gether He began at once to acquire and
consolidate all the mining claims of the re-
gion. Down the beautiful Bonito valley
some five miles from the ore body, the val
ley becomes a canon and there is an admir-
able site for dam, where unlimited cleo
trical power can be developed at a mini
mum cost for dam construction. Cheap
power was essential, SO this energetic man
set about it and acquired the entire valley

valley for mile at least, thus making a
lovely lake set amid lovely mountains.
Here will be the homes and villas of the
well-to-do and wealthy, and also a magnif-
icent sanitarium in what is acknowledged
to be the best climate in the United States.
The genius that has effected this gigantic
consolidation and evolved these far-reach-
ing plans is John M. Rice He is the gen
eral manager of the Eagle Mining and In
provement Company and lives at Parsons,
in the Bonito valley, in a home which has
been the surprise and admiration of at least
100 men whom he has been instrumental in
bringing here to inspect the country. These
men have come from Chicago, New York
City and elsewhere. Some have been min
ing experts, some geologists, some repre-
sentatives of the leading papers of our
country, but for the most part they have
been men of means who we're looking for a
place to invest their capital Mr. Rice and
Mrs. Rice and their four daughters are cul-
tured people, and they have planted in that
mountain valley what this country most

to point below the dam site. Knowing
that companies had made many millions of
dollars by exploiting the property adjoin-
ing the Homestake mine, he gathered into
his company everything in reach and
reachable, until the holdings include over
900 claims, or some 1000 acres of mineral
land Many Of these claims are in them
selves gold mines and will pay to work, but
are overshadowed by the immense ore bod
les already referred to. Yet they have an
additional value, for the region has an
abundant rain fall, and hence luXuriant
vegetation. Dense, untouched forests
abound, and upon the holdings of this com
pany is timber having an actual value to-
day of a good 81 ooo, 900. The company
owns the townsite near where the vast mill
ing operations will be conducted and will
bye and bye be the owner of Il city. The
dam will be at least 100 feet high and the
waters of the Bonito will be backed up the

The Free Gold Mining and Milling Com
pany organized under the laws Of the terri
tory of New Mexico, with Offices at Nogal
New Mexico. This company has secured
one hundred acres of rich placer ground in
the Jicarl!la mountains, in Juana gulch, and
under the direction of Geo 4. Sigh, who
is secretary and treasurer of the company,
is putting in an improved placer mining
machine, which promises TO put new life
into the old camp.
The Jcarila placer mines have long
been famous gold producers. For the last
fifty years, and long before the red men
were driven out of the country, the white
men and Mexicans would organize strong
parties and make trips into the mountains
and by melting snow would use the old
primitive rocker to wash out the yellow
metal. In this way large fortunes were
taken out of the ground, as, for instance,
the grandfather of the present governor of
the territory who, it is said, nearly half
century ago, came from San Maguil coun-
ty with large force of poems and in one
winter took out $50, 600 in gold. For the
last twenty-five years, since the writer has
been familiar with the camp, there has
been a constant stream of gold going out,
and perhaps in no year has there been less
than $4,000 worth of gold added to the
wealth of the country from this source. All
this has been done by hand work and only
the richer strata of gravel could be worked

Regular Correspondence.

Regular Correspondence.
Among the industrial enterprises that are
bringing Lincoln county to the front the
Eagle Mining and Improvement Company
stands easily first. Not only SO, but in the
scope of its plans and the magnitude of its
clear possibilities it is the greatest enter
prise in New Mexico And when its plans
are realized it will undoubtedly place Lin
coin county in the very front rank among
the greatest gold producing regions of the
world.
Dropping eastward in mighty skyline
from Nogal peak is the divide whence
spring the various streams that
form the Bonito river Sloping south from
this divide, and converging somewhat to-
ward the Bonito valley, are four or five
great ridges. Lying across these ridges is
a reef of gold-bearing ore. This reef lies
east and west, and is over 1000 feet in
length and over 800 feet in width. Its
depth at the foot of these ridges has been
tested for so feet, and it is richer at that
depth than on the surface. Other reefs
almost as wide run parallel with this, while
on the north side of the divide, running
across similar ridges, are still other reefs,
one of which is 600 feet wide. These vast
ore bodies are connected by cross reefs
running north and south right up the
ridges to the top of the divide and down on
in width. At one place on the top Of the
divide is point of rocks more than 1000
feet north of the first reef here referred to
and fully 900 feet above it. These rocks
are the same gold-bearing ore. In fact
here is deposit of gold-bearing ore three
fourths of a mile long, and in alternating
reefs over a mile across, with an unknown
depth, making this certainly one of the very
largest, and possibly the largest gold ore
body known to exist in the world. In mag
nitude it completely eClipses the famous
Homestake mine of Lead, South Dakota,
less cost of treatment.
For the cheap mining and milling Of tins
ore nature has done everything possible
The ore is decomposed porphyry or syenite
easily crushed and perfectly adapted to the
cyanide process. There will be no sinking
of shafts, no pumping, no timbering it will
be simply quarrying back up the ridges on
a level from their points down in the valley
to the top of the divide and beyond, until
the divide itself for thousands of feet has
been quarried, milled and converted into 4
stream of gold Great shovels swung by
dcrricks will swing the ore and dump II in
the cars the cars will run by gravity to the
mills, and the cyanide tanks will be strung
along the base of a ridge down the valley
so that all the handling will be a down-the-
hill operation, and il will cost less than s.
per ton to mine and mill this ore, which
will average s. per ton, leaving s. per ton
net profits The company intends to erect
a mill to treat ZOO tons per day. It IS
easy to figure profit of $50, 900 per day,
or SO, 600, 900 in year of 800 work days, all
to go out in dividends, rich lie-blood for
the arteries of commerce and increasing the
wealth of what is now the richest nation OF
the world.
