MONTE CARLO COPPER
COMPANY AND ITS MINES

The Monte Carlo Consolidated Cop
per was Incorporated In 1906
with a capital stock of a million dol
lars. 1t has twelve claims aggregate
ing 240 acres in the district and its
properties are being developed quite
rapidly. Work has been done on four
shafts, but the work Is now being con-
lcentrated on one three-compartment
shaft. This has been sunk 100 feet
and Is following q true assure vein.
They have already gone through some
good pay ore, but they will continue
TO go down to between 500 and LOCO
feet. where there is every indication
that they will strike large bodies of
ore.
The does not intend to do
any shipping at present, but VIII first
spend about $250.000 on development
work. There is a fine location for a
reservoir and the outht viii built a
dam and rrange for the irrigation
of a considerable part of their own
lands. They will also sink several aux
Hilary wells. The eompany's camp is
near timber, three and a half miles
from the railroad. and 1t will cost very
little to get the ore 10 market. Old
timers claim that this mine will he

O~rogrande, N. NJ. Nov. 15.-Oro-
grande, the greatest mining center of
eastern New Mexico, and one of the
busiest towns in the southwest, Is a
brand new camp and at the same
time an old-timer. The present town
of Orogrande was laid out in 1905 and
for a ~two-year-old own it is certainly
an eye-opener. The town Is 40 miles
from Eel Paso and 81 from Alamo
gordo. The site is IN ideal one, on a
level plain. The streets are wide and
the town well laid out n the mining
field of which it is the center-the
field of active operations-measures
about Jour by fifteen miles. The upper
part of the camp has the postotfice,
formerly called Jarilla, now changed
to Brice. There are now about LOO
people i'm the camp, a population that
is increasing rapidly and will soon
double and triple itself. The blowing
in of the big smelter has in Itself
caused a substantial addition to the
population. MANY mines that have
been heretofore idle have started up
with the blowing in of the smelter.

HOW WATER SUPPLY is
BROUGHT TO CAMP

One of the most serious questions
hat at first confronted the company
was that about a water supply,
Finally the company purchased water
rights on the Sacramento river, 20
miles away. They built q ditch eight
and a half miles long with a fall from
an altitude of 100 feet to $500 feet
at the Juniper reservoir. thence to an
altitude of 400 feet at the Mamie
Baird and through a six-inch pipe
with a pressure of 1900 pounds to the
square inch, one and a half miles
from the Mamie Baird to the smelter.
The Mamie Baird reservoir impounds
fifteen millions of gallons of water of
the greatest purity, fresh from the
mountains. The reservoir supplies both
the smolter and the town. Water is
forced to the various mines where 1t
IS needed by hydraulic rams operated
by the pipe line from the Sacramento.
The rams run the water 200 feet
above the Mamie Baird mine and IT
flows back by gravity to the point
where IL is needed. The company sup
plies the railroad with 100000 gallons
of water a day and furnishes another
so. 900 gallons to stockmen daily.
The company has plenty to spare
its contract is for 5000, 900 gallons
a day when needed.
The total cost of the great water
works system. one of the finest pri-
waite projects in the territory, was

one of the chief advantages Of the
Orogrande smelter Is that it can do
business at a very low cost. Being on
the main lire Of the lei Paso and

road has spurs running up TO the

ence in California mining and several
years in Arizona. He is splendidly
demonstrated what an experienced
practical man a do with a pretty
stiff proposition when he Knows how
to go at it.
The smelter has a capacity of $50
tons a day and has been so construct
ed that with a very little more expense
am additional 250-ton furnace may be
put up. Labor saving machinery OF the
latest and most approved pattern is
used throughout the plant. Every
thing is operated by electricity. Three
15O-horsepower Heines water tube
boilers are used. There are two Cor
liss engines and two high-speed au-
tomato engines and two direct con
nected generators delivering ESQ volts
to the plant. There Is a first class up
to-date sampling plant run by cleo
tricity. There is probably no smelter
in the country with more modern and
efficient equipment than this one.
The company has on hand coal for
three months and coke for seven
months and will smelt ore from its
own mines. These include:
The Mamie Baird, with oxide gold

DIAMONDS VS.. BRAINS.

1t isn't often that plain democratic Americans find

Cora Lady Stratord and she the planest girl in the

forgot all about the beauties to gather around this home
girl who outshone them all by her personality.
''You awfully funny!' cried Princess Beatrice.
81 need to be something flashed Miss Colgate for
I'm deuced ugly
Here's something worth while.
Miss Colgate wasn't pretty. Almost any woman in
the house far beautiful She could hope
to rival them in grace and physical charm. She knew
people would be attracted her by her face
eyes mouth figure In her place many girls would
have moped and worried and fretted tried to draw

She knew that after all what attracted people not
clothes or jewels beauty but brains. She had
brains And she made of what she had.
Sensible girls not downcast because someone else
is prettier than they They just plunge in and by force
of personality make themselves attractive Husbands that
