SYLVANITE E.

From Leonard Loahr. William A.
 Saule. and others recently returned from Sylyan.te. it is learned that Inc progress of the New Mexico eo!d camps development is something To marvel at. considering tha present condition of the industrial woThl and the brief age cf this newest of south western mining cJu:1uE ties.
 The Omst rc=1r, and .roba5ly the most interesting. discovery in that ] dis rief is the ifIchaHan Iedee. Ifs cHterop has been located near the
 Howell windmills. on the road that
 winds through the Hachita -nOunta ms
 between Syyanite and Hacaita Care
 fll investigation of the ledge and tn, nature of it's ore carries the eonvic- ion that it is the mother lode of the d. strict. As the point where 1t was discovered is five miles or more ei- rectly north of the SyIvanite ore gone. and its direction SO far as traced is
 from north 10 south. 1t is possible that future development VII be fin that direction--a conviction that
 would show the zone to be twice as large as development has thus far re. ve1ied- Assays from the ledge sent fo El Paso gave about 120 ounces in gold per ton.
 The HOlcomb ledge. as it is now called seems to interest with the Hol-
 comb ledge as gle King Solomon claim. The shaft Of the latter is now

 will be driven about one hundred feet farther when a cross-cut will be l started to cut the intersection of the ] i4oicOmb and Buchanan ledges. The
