TELLS OF NEW INDUSTRY
J. M. Strobridge Says Valued Litho-
graphic Stones Are to Be Had in
New Mexico.

j. M. Strobridge, secretary and
treasurer of the Strobridge Lithograph-
ing Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, his
wife and son, are guests at the Palace
Hotel
Mr. Strobridge is visiting Santa Fe
primarily on vacation but also to ac-
quire information regarding the coun.
try. The company with which Mr..
Strobridge is connected, is one of the
best known of its kind in the country,
turning out the large posters used for
advertising purposes by many Of the
large circuses, theatrical companies
and business houses throughout the
east In speaking of photographic
work, Mr.. Strobridge said:
"The demand for this sort of work
continues to increase steadily with the
exception of window posters which are
not used by circuses and theatrical
companies so extensively now as in
past years. The mercantile trade, how
ever, has begun to use bill posters ex-
tensively.
Few people know how lithograph
posters are made. The matter to be
pictured or printed is first engraved
on lithograph stone. This stone we
import from Bavaria, at great ex-
pense.
"It is a very hard stone and takes
on fine polish. The Bavarian varie-
ty has never been equalled by any 9th
er stone. Some time ago our company
tested samples of stones from various
states. Several samples came from
New Mexico. These stones, however,
were not able to stand the test suf1i-
ciently for fine photographic work.
Now, my opinion regarding these SAM
pies is that the stones were taken from
too near the surface. | believe fine
stones could be found here if deep
shaft were sunk penetrating below all
surface rock. 1t would not only mean
good prices for the owners of such
mines but it would considerably re-
duce the price which lithographing
companies are forced to pay for such
stones
There are several places in New
Mexico where this species of stone is
found

MAKES Sill YER STRIKE.
Manuel Taylor Discovers Rich Ore at
Chloride Flats-Property Being
Worked.

The report has reached Santa Fe OF
rich silver strike at Chloride Fats
three miles from Silver City, which
was made several months ago by Man
uel Taylor who has been working the
property with rather uncertain success
for a number OF years.
The strike was made in an Old mine
which in the former mining days, 1t
is said, produced $6,OOO,00O in silver.
OF late years, however, the mine mas
not paid to any great extent, but ray,
lor. resolutely continued to work It,
telling his friends that some day ne
would make a rich strike. His faith
in the mine was not shared by many
people familiar with this property but
Taylor refused to be discouraged by
their doubts.
AS a result of his perseverance, ore
is now being shipped from this proper
ty which yields from 5000 to 5,OOl
ounces of silver to the ton. Those who
have seen the property recently sa!
that car loads OF lower grade ore are
now in sight which will run from zo'
to 400 ounces to the ton.
The owner, it is said, can now, VIII
| the assistance OF only two men, take
| out car load OF ore week wortl
several thousand dollars per car. I'M
strike is said to be even richer on
than any made during the mines mos
prosperous days. Manuel Taylor
said to be descendant OF Zachar
TAYLOR, once president of the Unite'
States.
The lucky strike in this silver min
has stimulated property owners u
Grant County and as a result thef
lis greater activity in the camps ina
Ifor some time past. Several goo
|strikes of minor Importance have a

BRIGHT OUTLOOK.
F. J. Atkins Says the New Town Of
JarIla Has a Wonderful
Future.

F. ]. Atkins, of Jarilla, was in the
city yesterday en- route to Cripple
Creek, where he has gone to close uI
his affairs preparatory to moving with
his family to Jarilla, where they will
take up their permanent residence. Mr.
Arkins is an experienced miner as well
as newspaper man of note
To representative of the New Mex
lean, Mr. Atkins said;
"The town of Jarilla on the Eel Pasc
& Southwestern Railway, forty miles
south OF Alamogordo, the county sea-
OF Otero County, has but recent,
come into existence, but is already s
very thriving youngster. When lef
there Sunday last, fifty-one houses
were on the townsite and in actual oc
cupation by the people who have come
to Jarilla to make it their permanent
homes.
There are good many miners EN-
ployed in the Jarllla mining district
which will be tributary to the town,
and the resources OF which will be
able to sustain nice town in pros
perity and indeed in affluence. The
Southwest Smelling and Refining Com
pany of st. Joseph, Missouri, is the
founder of the place and the owner of
some of the important mining proper
ties in the camp.
water works are in course of con.
struction, and the water will be
brought from La Luz Canon, dis
tance of twenty-five miles in pipes.
From eight to ten miles of pipe line
are already laid, and three or four car
loads of pipe per day are arriving in
Jarilla, which pipe will be used in the
speedy construction of the pipe sys-
TEN. When completed, the town will
be furnished with steady and suffi-
cient supply Of fine mountain water.
"The Southwest Smelling, and Re-
fining Company has had yards for the
smelter site surveyed and machinery
and material for the smelter of the
company are now arriving. The COM
pany is working and developing the
following properties: The Mamie
Baird, gold proposition, which al
ready has 5000 feet of tunnels and
shafts. 1t is reported that it is sure to
be money making mine. The Lucky
Mine has over 1000 feet of develop.
ment work and will be copper pro.
ducer. The ore in sight gives promise
that this will be very valuable claim.
On this property one long tunnel has
been completed and another tunnel
and shaft are now being worked on.
There is great mountain Of native
iron ore which does not need mucf
mining; all that is necessary is blast
Ing, and hundreds and hundreds O
tons of the best iron ore running from
so to 80 per cent, will be thrown dowr
ready to be taken to the smelter.
"Hoisting machinery for the prop
critics named is on the ground and will
be erected as speedily as the engin'
eers and laborers can do it. George
Powell is manager of the mining prop
critics named r. c. Wilkinson Will
have charge of the smelter, while H.

! Mr.. Atkins, who has been resi-
dent for years of Cripple Creek and

towns. where he has been engaged ir
mining and also in managing news
papers, is very sanguine that within
a wear or two Jarilla will boom ant
will be a great producer of gold, cop
