SIERRA DE ORC GOLD NJ. & NJ. co.
The Sierra de Orc Gold Mining and
Milling company was organized about
the first of the year by Ben Crawford,
Dell NJ. Potter, ct al, for the purpose
of developing group of gold claims,
situated in the Greenlee district near
the Frisco river about five miles north
Of Clifton. Mr.. Crawford spent some
months in Chicago, where he inter-
ested a number OF capitalists in the
enterprise, several of whom recently
visited the property, and after return
ing home raised Il large working capt.
tai for the development of the prop
erty. Last week the money was
placed in bank and the local manage
rent instructed TO proceed with the
work, which will be commenced at
once and pushed with vigor. The Of
iicers of the company are f. 7. Ell

strongly endorsed the property. The
professor is a man of cminence in his

rombstou and other mines equally
as we'll known. There can be no ques-
tiOn but that the Sierra de Orc has a
valuable group of gold and copper
claims, which with ample :ceans, and
under skillful and experienced man
agement will soon be developed into
regular producers. The property OF
the company is most favorably situated
for economical working. The mines
will be opened by tunnels, and the ore
conveyed to the milling plant on the
river by tramways. Both Messrs
Crawford and Potter are we'll known
mining men of this section, but this
is their first attempt to promote a
company with ample backing for a
big enterprise. Mr.. Crawford who
succeeded in floating the enterprise
has been generally congratulated on
his success by his many friends.
