New Mexico Mines and Mining.
From Silver City Enterprise.

deal whereby El PaSo CdpltdllStS transfer to Toledo capitalists d silver lead property four miles from Silver City for S3OO,OOO worth of stock in the new company, which is to develop the proposition The Toledo men are now on the road and will meet MT. Jackson at Silver City, where the details of the transfer will be closed up. The mine was formerly owned by J. N. and E. P. Hughes and w. R. Jackson, of Fl Paso, and they called it the Accident mine. They say it is a very promising one and that the turning of it over to the Toledo capitalists means that rapid develop ment work will be started. It is in the Pinos Altos range north of Silver City.
 John Schwob, formerly in business at Bisbee, but now interested in silver mine in Mexico, was in Bisbee looking after business connected with the company. The company is changing the name and the incor- poratiOn of the mine from Mexican to American. It has been known as the Noche Bueno company but will be known hereafter as the Cananea Mananzel company. None of the stock is for sale. The mine is one that was worked by the Spaniards 200 years ago and it is interesting to hear of the tools that were left in the mines, corroded by age, of the l ladders that are still in the shafts and to trace out the old drifts from only the richer ores and in going down a distance of 200 feet they found as many as six pockets of rich ore that has been encountered and worked by the Spaniards. Schwob reports that Mexicans in Cananea are in hard circumstances, and that many of them do not know where the next meal is coming from.-Re- veiw.
 A territorial charter was granted last week to the National Mining x Smelling company headquarters at Deming, capitalized for $1 1000, ,OOO, par value of shares S1O. The con- pany has acquired the Victoria group of patented claims at Gage, Luna county, from the Haggin-Tevis com pany of California. During the lat ter part of the sos the company was known as Haggin, Hearst & Head, the active mining member of the i firm being the late United States Senator George Hearst, of California, father of William Randolph Hearst. The group of mines have produced a | large tonnage of lead-silver ore con taining pay values in gold. Owing to the many and various interests of the Haggin-Tevis company, they have not worked the mines since the death of Senator Hearst. Robert E. Power, of New York, who is the president of the company, is also president of the Luna Lead con- pany, operating the Deming shelter at Deming. The latter has estab- | lished a custom clientele which is ! | ly. Regardless to the drop in lead quotation the Deming shelter is pay ing the mine operators prices for their ore that afford good margin of profit.
 i E. A.Wayne, manager of the Cop per Cult Development company in the BurrO mountains, was recently interested in new process of smelt- ing which the inventor, Dr. Oliver B. Dawson, of New York, claims will smelt ore without tte aid of coke or oil. Dr. Dawson visited the Burro Mountain properties of the Copper Gulf company several weeks ago and as a result of his visit Manager Wayne shipped two cars of ore to Fl Paso to be treated in the experi- mental plant which Dr. Dawson has erected there. Mining men and en- gineers will be invited to witness the test. Dr. Dawson claims that his method will revolutionize the smelt- | ing of the world. The shelter, he claims, will work without the aid of coke or oil, the ore being smelted by chemical fusing process, and he claims that his experiments have been so successful that he has no doubt of the success of the smelter when he puts it into operation. That he has faith in his process is demon strated by the fact that he has in cn.ln f his plant in Fl Paso. Dr. Dawson does not intend to operate a shelter for custom purposes, but will operate it simply to show mining men what it can do, and will manufacture the plants in Fl Paso.
