THE PRECIADO MINE
PROVES A BONANZA
Located in the Jalisco Dis
trict Shows Up Much
Rich Gold Ore.

Gold is where you find it," said
Capt ". K. Smith, a veteran mining
man, just returned from the state of
Jalisco, where he visited a mine called
Preciado. near the Guadalajara-C olima
branch of the National railways of
Mexico. This mine is in the high part
of one of the spurs of the mountain
ranges of the west coast of Mexico.
Vein Is Very Deep.
The vein is fissure in sandstone
which cuts the axis of the hill in a
perpendicular dip and gains a great
depth on both sides of the hill, and the
hill shows no porphyries or GRANTEES.
all being sandstone. The vein can be
tunneled along the vein from the two
different sides of the hill at a depth
of $50 feet. The vein is shown in sew
eral ore faces, in one of which is a tun-
mel 40 meters long, showing a true vein
three feet wide, running well in gold
and silver. Here the ore is sulphide.
This vein has an ore shoot 500 meters
long and is the richest mine in the Ia
pala. There is also ore filled with wire
silver Some 80 pertenencias will cover
this ground, containing four veins wish
rich stringers. There is an old open cut
in a gold vein, over 1000 meters long.
Some samples Of stringers at the sur
face showed values of two ounces gold
and 35 ounces silver per ton.
Solid Ore Is Found.
In the extension of the Preciado
vein in the bottom of q creek, a Swiss
miner has opened up a shaft and en-
countered vein, one meter in width,
of solid ore running $50 per ton in
gold, which he had to quit working on
account of a flood of water. The Pre-
ciado mine so far is free from water.
These properties are real gold bonan-
zas and now that the railroads are in
that country Jalisco will come to the
front as q great gold country.
In the northern part of the state is
a tin bearing belt that may solve the
problem Of furnishing the tin of the
country. In one canyon, about 10 hours
ride from the railroad, there IS abund-
ance of stream tin, boulders weighing
as high as 100 pounds down to the
size of grains of wheat are found for
several miles in the bed of this canyon
Tt is on a ranch Of a rich rancher, who
takes no interest in mining"

WORK IS RESUMED
ON TOMBSTONE MINE
Tombstone Consolidated De-
veloping on the Thousand
Foot Level.

Tombstone, Ariz., Sept. 6-Tomb-
stone Consolidated mines which were
deluged by what seemed flow of wa
ter incapable of being COPIED with, are
about unwatered. The 1000 foot level
has been reached the submerged
pumps, sInkers and other paraphernalia
rescued and everything is once more in
working order, and the management
has no fear of similar mishap occur
ring in the future, as additional equip
ment has been installed capable of
handling the present inflow of 5000. 900
gallons a dav and nearly double that
amount should it ever become neces-
sary.
During the past seven years. no less
than 11,075, 100000 gallons Of water
have been forced to the surface from
the lower levels of the workings
Now that this is accomplished work on
the 1000 foot level has been SSmmenced
From this point a drift has been start
ed east, the object being to cut the
Contention dixie where large bodies of
ore are known TO exist. Drifts have
been started from this level north and
south, and it is thought that In both
directions large and rich ore bodies
will be encountered.
An upraise from the 1000 to the 900
foot level is now being perfected for
the purpose of better ventilation

PLENTY IF ORE
IN NEW MEXICO
Mines Worked for Centuries
With Room to Find
Many New Ones.

Washington, D. c., Sept Ginning In
New Mexico was probably begun in a
small way centuries ago by the indians,
for the early Spanish explorers found a
few trinkets of gold, silver, and tur-
quois in the possession of the natives.
No true mining IN tne modern sense,
however, except, possibly. the mining of
turquois, was done in this region until
the 18th century. The copper mines at
Santa Rita have been worked almost
continuously for more than 100 years,
but systematic placer gold mining was
begun as late as 1928. at the Old Pla GERS
in the Ortiz mountains south of Santa
fe.
An Era of Silver Mining
The construction and operation OF
railroads through New Mexico in the
late seventies and early eighties started
an era of mining activity in the ter
ritory, in which the chief metal sought
and produced was silver. During this
era one group of mines at Silver City
produced over 100000, and the mines
at Lake Valley then and later yielded
100000 ounces of silver. The silver
output Of the territory from 1882 to
1908 was about 35,OOO.OOO fine ounces:
the recorded production of gold from
1880 to 1903 was s14,SO0,000
Copper, Zinc and Lead Mining
At the beginning of the goth century
the demand for copper, lead. and zinc
stimulated the mining of these socalled
baser metals, whose annual production
in New Mexico now far exceeds in value
the territOrys output of gold and silver.
Report by Geological Survey.
New Mexico still doubtless contains
large undiscovered or undeveloped
stores of mineral wealth and presents
an inviting field to the prospector The
latest report on the ore deposits of the
territoTy-Soon TO be & state-is the
United States geological surveys pro-
fessional paper IS, entitled The ore

Lindgren, l. c. Grafton and c. H. Gordon,

mineral deposits by counties and by
mining districts. 1t covers 361 pages
and contains 50 Illustrations, including
maps and geologic sections and several

This report is the first publica ton OF

The La Paz property is considered
one of the most valuable placers in the
southwest. Assays run from SO TO $40
gold per cubic yard. The depth of the
gravel ranges from one foot to 20 feet.
It is an old seepage country, showing
sea shells. and was once the bed of the
Colorado river.
Location of La Paz.
La Paz is situated just outside Of the
southern lines of the Colorado indian
reservation. In the early days at least
Is, 900 persons were employed there. II
is claimed that large part of the
southern extremity of the reservation
Is rich in placer gold, and after it is
opened up there will be a stampede to
the diggings.
The fields south of La Paz and ex-
tending down well toward Yuma are
also rich in placer gold, and 1t is in
this district that prospectors are
searching for placers. Many eXperi-
ments have been made in this field.
1.-The pot holes country in which the
ground was cut up into holes or depres-
sions is also good ground; but the La
guna dam has brought a change in the
course of the Colorado river, and the
placer ground at this point has been
submerged.
