EDISON BEATEN.
His Experts Fail to Recover the Fine
Gold in Cunningham Hill, N. M.


Judge J. ID. whitman, one of the old
time prospectors of the Rocky noun
tains, has returned from New Mexico,
says the Denver News. He visited the
district near Cerrillos where Edison ex-
pended $500 900 in a futile attempt to
catch the fine gold of cunningham hill.
The Edison works are standing idle,
and it is understood that he has given
up the attempt as hopeless.
In speaking of the district, the judge
said: Cunningham hill is a noted
spot for the Mexicans. as they have
been working the dry placers for sew
eral hundred years. The region COW
ers an area six to twelve miles each
way, and the formation is a puzzle
which no geologist has ever succeeded
in unraveling. The country is overlaid
with coarse gravel, which carries ce-
ment in which the gold is embedded.
Edlson's expert was upon the ground
for many weeks, and reported that the
cement on Cunningham hill and the
immediate region carries the enormous
Many tests gave SO ton by ordinary
methods of extraction, but the absence
of water makes it impossible to work
the deposits on large scale. The drift
carrying the cement may be traced for
200 miles through New Mexico and
into southern Colorado. 1t is one of
the most remarkable formations of
America. but defies science as success
fully today as it did when first discov-
cred"
Judge Whitman says Mexicans may
be seen working on the drift with little
hand machines operated by means of
a crank. The dry sand is shoveled
into the machine and the gold is saved
because it is heavier than the gravel.
The dirt is worked over several times
before all the value is extracted, the
period between different workings is
usually two or three years. The pres
ence of gold in the sand after it has
been carefully winnowed two or three
times, had led to the impression among
many OF the placer miners that the yell

their knees patiently scraping the
smooth bedrock with a brush as small
as a tooth brush. Black sand Is said
To be entirely lacking in this deposit,
Near Cunningham hill are the famous
turquoise mines, some of which have
been worked for 300 years.
