Looks Like Business.

Last Tuesday three carloads of A.
inch pipe, consigned to the Esmer-
aida Con. Mines Co., arrived in Haw-
thorne. This is the first installment
of eleven miles of pipe to be used to
conduct water from Cottonwood
canyon to the Pamlico and Lapanta
mines. AS soon as the ground thaws
the work OF digging the ditch will be-
gin, and by the time the pipe is laid
ground will be broken near the Pam
leo mine for a 20-stamp mill. Then
Hawthorne district will again be a
hive of industry. Aside from the
company's property, there are many
other claims that will pay to work
with mill near by.
The advent Ola mill and water in
Hawthorne district will be the means
of putting 100 men to work, and the
probabilities are that many valuable
mines will be uncovered in the near
future.
