The Cooney was closed down
almost two years ago but de-
velopment work has been pro-
crossing ever since, until now
there is good ore reserve ahead
and the mill will be started just
as soon as sufficient fuel is in
the yard. The Cooney and
Leap Year also belonging to
this Company, are connecting
mines with the same character
of ore, the latter having a record
q quarter of million. Besides
-. mines the company owns
three other fine groups in the
same canyon, none of which,
however, have much development
although all have produced
shipping ore. The company has
the largest holding in the dis
trict.
The Enterprise company is to
have a clvnide mill just as soon
as it can be built. They have
small plant in operation now,
but the percentage of saving BY
this process was not satisfactory,
therefore the authorization of
new cyanide plant.
There are many other mines
in this district which are being
Systematically developed, and
with a railroad, values would go
up four-fold at once. Lack of
decent transportation is the
great and only drawback. 1t is
believed a road will go into the
district very soon and those who
are not in before that time will
find it hard to get in.
The gentleman would not say
just what property he had been
i'll the camp to examine, as that
was for his employers. He said,
however, that he expected to re-
turn to New Mexico in very
short time and when he returned
there would be something doing.

worst weather in s5 Years.

st. Paul, MINI: In thirty
five years | have MT known such
severe weather conditions to pre-
vail in North Dakota and other
points west of St Paul as exist
today" said President ]. ]. Hill
to the Associated Press. The
snow on the level out there is
from three to four feet deep.
Men cannot walk on it without
snowshoes. In some places the
snow is ten to fifteen feet deep.
We have from 1000 to 1,500 men
working along our line, and have
kept it open, but part of the
time the weather has been so
cold that men could not work"

MOGOLLON DISTRICT
What it Needs to Become General
ly Recognized Is Greater Trans
portation Facilities,
HAS NUMEROUS RICH MINES
Which Has Been Worked for Years
with Good Profit to the
Owners.

A mining engineer who
represents eastern investors in
conversation at El PaSo. Texas.
Tuesday said the following. re-
ports the FL Paso Herald.
The greater portion of my
life was spent in the Mogullon
district. Located as it is. ut a
distance from the railway. and
attracting very little attention
of the general public, ! had not
expected to find much but a
bunch of prospects of more or
less value. / found mines with
from 300 to $4,000 feet of develop
ment work, and a number of as
good reduction plants as can be
found in the country.
The Last Chance mine which
is operated by Earnest Craig for
the Ernestine Mining company
has enough ore blocked out for a
much larger mill than is now
working.
was told that the old Con-
fidence mine, owned by Colorado
people, which has been idle
few years, will soon be in
operation with a large cyanide
plant which has been found the
most successful treatment for the
ores ST this class in the district.
This mine has 10000 feet of
development work and has been
a big producer in the past with
the old pan-amalgamation pro-
cess.
The Little Fannie people have
been opening that noted mine
with entirely new workings,
the old work in the years which
it was idle having caved too
badly to attempt to open. This
mine produced in its former
history more than million and
a half from one of the richest
ore shoots in the camp. 1t is
sure to be a big producer again.
Almost surrounding the Fannie
group and running along the
Fannie vein to the west is the
Charlie group of mine claims
owned by the Mogollon Gold and
Copper company. Development
work on the Charley recently
opened into a body of high grade
free gold ore, and from its dip
there seems to be no doubt but
the famous Little ore shoot has
been cut. The Fannie shoot
was known to dip to the west
and it has been expected that it
would be encountered in the
Charley, therefore it is no sur
prise to the management. The
average of this vein in the
Fannie was about S4S ton for
twelve feet of ore, with some
bodies much better, and that
from the Charlie will average
fully as high for the entire vein.
This is the most important
strike of recent date in the camp.
In the next canyon to the
earth is the we'll known Cooney
mine also owned by the Mogollon
Gold and Copper company. AT
this mine is most complete and
up to date concentrating mill of
about 100 tons daily capacity.

MY HOME IN THE SPRING.

t'r1Ze SCOFy.
Our yard is about eight blocks in
length and width. and we children have
plenty of room to play. There Is a large
brook that runs through the place with
three large bridges across It, In tho
rainy season when the water is deep
and clear we love to stand on the edge
OF the brook and sec ourselves
Near one of the bridges we have n
table with benches around it, SO when
1t is too warm In the house we eat
down there. 1t is SO cool and pleasant
to sit and read among the moss-covered
rocks and tho silvcry water spla shing
around them.
Above the brook Is large bank that
is covered with green grass and beau
tiful buttercups that nod their tiny
yellow heads in the breeze. We often
find the tiny blue forgetmenots in
among the yellow mass of buttcrcups
Near the last bridge is what we call
the fern bank, for Ills Just covered with
maiden-hair ferns, golden backs and
little and large ferns. The large oak
trees seem lit UP their huge branches
and whisper to us rs we pass under
them, while the squirrels jump and
chatter from branch to branch. There
are also many fruit trees In blossom
among the dancing buttercups. which
makes 1t look like n painted picture.

Once upon q time n little girl named
Susan lay down to sleep (because it
was getting dark.) While. she was
asleep she thought some fairies came
to her, and the Fairy Queen asked her
to go with her to FaIryland. While she
was there she saw beautiful fairy
dressed in a gown spanglcd with beau
tiful stones. and on her head she wore
lovely crown of precious stones. She
told Susan that she was the princess of
Fairyland, and she asked her. If she
would stay in Faryland while, and
said she would take Susan home
when she wanted to go. Susan said she
would stay awhile, but she said she
would have to see her mother some

Then she asked the fairy II she
would take her home. She said Yes"
And when she woke in the morn

she had seen true fairy, hut her
mother said it was only q dream, and
that she had not seen fairy. And then
she and her mother lived happily ever
