SYLvAN|TE. TIE NEW GOLD CAMP,
 E SCENE IF GREATEST ACTIVITY
tBy Charles A Dinsmore.)

days there has been stampede to Syivanita New Mexico. distant F miles from the railroad town of Hach ita It was claimed that ore of very high grade had been found in Assures in place. and that the base of the values was sylvanite It was claimed that the formation and ore occurrence was exactly similar to the sylvanite- producing camps of other portions. ln order to ascertain the facts the writer went t0 Hachita and looked over the field. Last spring we were there to investigate the placer gold excitement and we felt no compunction in de crying any movement to the 'placers. because it was dry washing and would not pay wages. The quartz ex, citement now is in the hills just above these old placers. l visited practical iy every claim, went into the work ings, and every sample l brought back there was about a 20-pound sack of them-was personally secured, and ia such manner as to preclude possibility of wrong. But | don't believe thoseS people would countenance anything out of the way. However, when l got back, to make assurance doubly sure went out to the smelter and asked Manager Earle if he would posi- lively ascertain what the stuff was. tone assayer stated that the material was molybdenum-D Mir Earle very willingly put the resources of the whole shelter at my disposal, and in a very short time the chief chemist reported that the ore had stood the test, and that the mineral was 8 high grade Of sylyanite. Then they took samples and ran them through, and that evening Mir Earle informed me that results were fifteen and two tenths ounces gold per ton and one and tvotenths silver. The smelter people make these tests in the most cold-blooded possible manner, and if they have any enthusiasm or sym pathy they keep it all out of their as says, and so, with the assurance of MT. Earle that I've shall. of course, be in the market for the sylvanite ores of Hachita," this writer feels he is doing but right in giving the full de- taiis of this, as he believes, most in- portant discovery for many years. With geological conditions as near per feet as could be. with demonstrated mines not long distance away; with every inch of development adding to the size of the veins and the values of the ore-with all these we do be- lieye that Hachita wiI pull through and that several lucky ones there will develop great and rich mines. But a note of warning: There is ve'y little VI ork there now; there are more work ingmen on the ground at this moment than are needed; and the most fool hardy thing in the world will be to go to that camp without ample means. Later on one may elicit sympathy if , in a hard plight-just now it is all the glitter of gold and needy man will surely suffer. To one who has some means there offers possibly some in duceInent Surely the mineral is there, but whether there are more locations within the mineralized zone, whether ore can get a good bond or lease. whether he will win if he does get these-the future alone can tell.
