Great Mine Exhausted

The superintendents OF STATIONS
great niue, the Independence, at
Cripple Creek, which vas sold about
two years ago to Englishmen for = iooo,-
600, has been again examined by John
Hayes Hammond. who announces that
he has cabled 10 London that he found
the ore reserves exhausted, aud the
mine practically looted. There is not
much prospect OF further returns until
a great amount of additional develop
ment work is done.
The superintendent of the Portland
mine, At Cripple creek, has dismissed
about two hundred men and will keep
on dischargiug men until he has only
sufficient on hand to keep the mill go
ing. The Portland is just as rich As
ever, but there is disagreement be-
tween the owners and the smelters.
The Cripple Creek district is having
all kinds OF trouble, and has evidently
seen its best days.

Clifton Hotel Changes Hands.

On Monday last Mrs. NJ. Abraham
sold the Clifton Hotel to Sam Abra.
ham, who at once assumed charge, and
on Tuesday had gang OF carpenters
at work remodcling and improving the
property. The hotel will be under the
management of Jake Abraham, who
built the original Clifton Hotel about
twenty years ago. Jake is one OF the
best known and most popular hotel
men in the southwest, and il is his am
bi;ion to make the Clifton Hotel the
equal Of any house in Arizona. He
will receive hearty welcome from old
time Cliftonians and the travelling
public in general.
Mrs. NJ. Abraham, who has been the
proprietress OF tho hotel for many
years, made big success of the BUSH
ness, and although the property was
once entirely destroyed by fire, it was
rebuilt larger and better than ever.
n RS. Abraham retiros from the bust
ness in order to take life little easier
in the future, and to DO free from
business cares. She will remain a
resident OF Clifton, and will probably
invest her money in town property.

VIM. Heating, one of the most ener-
ge.ic prospectors and miners of this
section, has disposed of his seven
claims known as the Heating group, to
the Detroit Copper Mining company,
and while the consideration has not
been made public, it is known that
Mr.. Heating will be Independent for
the rest Of his life time. The claims
are on the Coronado mountain, and
are parallel to the celebrated Horse
shoe mine of the A. c. Co. These
claims were located by Mr.. Heating
about seven years ago, during which
time he has confined his energies
towards their development, and he ac-
complished more than perhaps any
other single individual in the district.
During these years he took out and
shipped considerable amount of ore,
some OF which ran as high as GO and 20
per cent, the returns from which en-
abled him to continue the development
work Occasionally he would run short
of money and out OF grub, then he
would go 20 work and earn few hum
dred dollars, and return to the
mines. In this manner he managed TO
develop his property, and consequent
ly make sale winch places him in
comfortable circumstances. 1t is al
ways the hustler and worker that wins.
There isn't so much in luck Mines
are seldom found" They are ''devel-
oped" by hard labor, and the man who
has the energy, coupled with i
sufficient amount Of intelligence, near
ly always makes comfortable fortune
in few years.

Professor Carrera, manager of the
Lena Mining company at Lordsburg,
spent Tuesday in the city, arranging
to market his product hero, instead OF
sending it to Ell Paso. His plant is
now running, and is turning out about
20 tons of concentrates per day, which
averages 80 per cent. copper, 80 per
cent. iron, 80 per cent. sulphur and
some silica and lead. The concentrates
average 500 per ton in gold and about
20 ounces in silver making a very de-
sirable product for the smelters to
handle. AS the Professor remarked {:
ut is like sugar on the pie"-it is just
what the smelters want. The professor
says his naw;i traction engine is now
working propsrly, and bringing in the
ore from Shakespeare much cheaper than
it can be hauled by teams. The Pro-
lessor is quite confident that his COM
pany will make a big success OF their
enterprise.
