Messrs. Marshall P. Wright and

About thirty miles northeast

the Nina Verde, a very valuable
property, of which Mr.. w. B.
Moore is superintendent. The
property includes several good
lodges, one of which is great

been sunk seventy feet, the ores
being blue sulphides, rich in cop

Magdalena district, beyond the
San Miguel river. They includes
thirty-four pertenencias, through

feet of development work, Cat a
cost exceeding $4,000 principally
