Mines and

Michael O'Neill. of Cerrillos. a we'll
known mining man, is a visitor in
Santa Fe.
The Ingersoll mine near Golden is
y sending IN shipments of ore regularly
to the Cerrillos slnelter.
1t is now understood that the st.
Lazarus Gold Mining at
Golden will pay up all old debts and
resume operations in the near future.
j. d. May. of Bland, will shortly
put a force of men to work getting out
ore on the Laura s., one of the most
promising properties in the Cochiti dis
trict.
The diamond drill at the Santa Fe
copper mine near San Pedro is being
operated to determine the extent of
the ore bodies in that famous old pro
Queer.
Tie Las Vegas Record says: Will
liam White and A. j. Baker went out
to the Tecolote mines to get a few
more specimens, although specimens
fail to create the former interest.
The smelter at Cerrillos is accumu-
lating a large stock of ore both by rail
and wagon, which has caused the open
ing Of a number of mines in that dis
trict that have been idle for years.
At the Boston Mining Exchange last
week 100 shares of Cochiti stock were
sold at As cents a share, OF Santa Fe
Gold & Copper company stock 4,405
shares were sold at from $2.25 to SO a
share.
Workmen are now engaged in over
hauling and repairing the stamp mill
at Woodbury.. getting it in shape to
treat Cochiti ore. 1t will take but a
few weeks to make the necessary re-
pairs.
d. C. King. superintendent of the
Empire Copper company of Dona Ana
county, is working on the Clearwater
group. The shaft on the Clearwater is
down 65 or 20 feet, and the drift 20
feet from the surface is in native cop
per. A whim has been installed and
a large ore chute completed. A total
of three shafts are being sunk OF the
group.
R.. NJ. Wilbur, a Chicago capitalist,
secretary of the Federal Life lnsur-
ance company, and president of the
United Gold e. Copper company, which
has extensive mining interests in the
southwest, arrived in Santa Fe and is
the guest of A. r. Gibson. Mr.. Wilbur
is a veteran mining investor, having
been interested in mining projects con-
%tinuously the past twenty years. He
will leave with Mr.. Gibson for Lords
burg to look over certain interests of
the United Gold & Copper company in
that part of Grant county.
The Lordsburg Liberal says: Mr..
and Mrs. Z. A. Carter were in the city
en- route to their home in Springfield,
Mass. Mr.. Carter is the president OF
the shannon Copper company, and
came out from Springfield last March
to see the Shannon smelter blow in.
There were many delays before he
blowing in time came, and troubles
after it did come. Mr.. Carter stayed
right with the proposition until the
smelter was turning out high grade
copper and high grade matte. Some
of the copper bullion runs as high as
ninety-nine per cent. and the matte
runs seventy per cent. The smelters
are running perfectly. and there is
enough ore to keep them running for
an indefinite time. The plans for the
converter and the concentration are
nearly completed and the orders for
the machinery will soon be made The
reduction process of the Shannon COM
pany will not De a perfect one until
the concentration and converter are in
full operation.
