TAOS COUNTY
VISITORS PLEASED
Gleu-Woody Mining and Milling
Company Has Forty Men at
Work Constructing the Mill
and Cyanide Plant,
ACTIVE BUILDING BOOM IN THE OLD TOWN
Special to the New Mexican.

Taos, N. NJ, May 12.
All of the Taos county visitors to
Santa Fe upon the occasion of the visit
of President Roosevelt have returned
we'll pleased with their trip. The unan-
imous verdict is that the old town did
herself proud.
One of the active mining camps of
Taos county is what Is known as the
Woody camp on the Rio Grande, just
below Cieneguila.
The Glen-Woody Mining and Milling
Company, under the efficient manage
ment of w. M. Woody, has 40 men at
work, in various capacities, in the con-
struction of the mill and cyanide plant
for the treatment of it's ores. The plant
covers a space of 7Ox17O feet and will
contain a crusher two Huntington
mills of the largest capacity, settling
vats and cyanide tanks, all arranged in
the very best manner for handling and
treating the ores with the least possible
labor and expense.
The necessary excavations are nearly
completed, and the timbers for the
building will soon all be framed. AS
soon as the foundations are ready, the
work of raising the superstructure will
be begun and pushed to completion as
rapidly as it can be done. Mr. Woody
expects to have everything ready to be-
gin the treatment of ore by July Is.
A fume, over 5000 feet long, conducts
water from the Rio Grande to the mill.
and furnishes a motive power of 12O
horse power.
The company has just completed it's
assay office and laboratory, which is
equipped with the finest appliances to
be had. It is, probably, the most COM
plete private establishment of the kind
in the territory. The laboratory and
mill will be in charge of James Stew
art, metallurgist and mill man of
wide experience in Australia and South
Africa as we'll as in the Rocky noun
tain region.
Mr.. Stewart is installing a testing
plant of 500 pounds capacity, for exper-
mental purposes, where he will make
thorough tests of the company's ores
and work out the details of it's treat
ment to secure the most profitable re-
suits.
Besides testing its own ores, the COM
pany will, so far as it may be able,
make assays and treatment tests for
those desiring them.
