weight of the machinery, which is ex-

It is estimated that the mines have
500 tons of silver-lead concentrating
ore In sight and on the dump awaiting

shipment of ten tons of high grade ore
was made and another shipment is be

centrating ore has been encountered
in the property, all of which is most

Wave group of mines we're located
in early days and, until the silver
| crash came, made a remarkable rec
ord as the producers of high grade
silver ore. When the silver slump
came, Hermosa, like many other silver
camps, went down. Since then the
mines have remained idle until few
months ago, and when the present
company took hold of them they were
found to be in a deplorable condition

The Silver City Enterprise says:

gan are working a group OF six claims
in the Burro mountains, which they
have under bond and lease from Mr..
Jefford. They are sinking a shaft on
the ore body and are down In vein
matter forty feet. They have dTiTted
both ways on the ore body and have
exposed it for a distance of twelve
feet. The walls are we'll defined and
the ore body gives indications of great
continuity. Those who have exam
med the property declare it is the best
showing for the amount Of work done
in the Burro mountains. The gentle
men are preparing to develop the pros

purpose are going to install a whim

is reached they will drift to the ore
