MINES AT RICO.
From the News

From the News
About twenty tons of ore per day
are being hauled from the Argentine
mines to the Pro Patria mill. The ore
is being treated with degree of sue
cess at the mill that is quite satisfac-
tory to those who are backing the en-
terprise, There Is also an advance
supply Of ore broken at the Argentine.
and as soon as the roads become in a
more passable condition the output
will be correspondingly increased.
The force of miners employed at the
Pro Patria tunned has been materially
increased during the past week, and
we understand that the company in.
tends putting on a night shift prior to
the first of the month.
The water pipe for the Group tun-
tel mill has finally arrived and is now
in place and 1t is expected that the
mill will be started up on Monday
next, There is ample stope dirt in
the chutes OF the Enterprise workings
to keep the mill working steadily for
several weeks. The force in the mine.
however is soon to be increased and
II the saving of the mill is satisfac-
tory, II will mean the Durango Leasing
company will give steady employment
to quite a force of miners and mill
men.
The main tunnel OF the Rio Dolores
Mining company's property has now
reached horizontal depth of 700 feet.
The tunnel is being run for the pur-
pose of exploiting the company's hold
ings at considerable depth and also
for the purpose of making a perma
nent entrance to the properties and is
not following the vein as has been
generally supposed. although at vari.
Gus times along the course of the tun.

EXPERTS OPINION ON
Ia pl ATA nlQr RlNr

f. A. Ritter, consulting engineer of
OF the Durango Girl Gold Mining com
pany, left for his home In Colorado
Springs this morning after spending
few days at the mine. In con.
versation with reporter Mr.. Ritter
stated that a contract had been let
for new tunnel rs feet below the
old tunnel In starting this tunnel
through the dump of the old work
ings, and in running through, con.
siderable rich ore was found that been
thrown over the dump. Mr. Ritter had
a piece OF such ore Weighing about
two pounds. 1t was very high grade
worth at least $40 pound. The re-
cent heavy rains have washed the dirt
on the rock on top Of the dump, thus
exposing the mineral to view. Work
is progressing favorably and 1t is ex.
pected the vein will be reached be-
fore long. Mr. Ritter said the for.
mer owners had never made a ship.
ment which ran less than $s4 per ton.
and the next thing Of Importance to
be determined by the new company
was how and by what methods the
ore OF as low grade as SO per ton
could best be handled.
In reference to the future Of the
whole district, Mr.. Ritter said that
some districts were noted for the
great nu.iber Of mines. while others
were noted for few mines. Of great
value. He expressed the opinion that
the La PlatAs would eventuallv an.
ter the latter class.
