lead properties lying on the northwest
end of the Tres Hermanas mountains
belong to Clark. MahOney and Kelly,
and DR.. S. D. Swope, of Deming. and
are being developed by the owners.
Since Mr.. Lingrens VISIT, some five
years ago, there have been some sub
Stantial developments and discoveries.
It is now demonstrated beyond a pos
sible doubt that the source of the ore
is from fissure veins in the lime, the ore
being deposited in the bedding plains of
the lime and in the assures. These
assures, of which some five or six have
been determined, run with the axis of
the granite prphyry intrusion about
800 feet apart and their course is uni
formly north 26 west. They are crossed
by cross assures or strikes running
west 26, south, and at these intersec-
lions the rich ore deposits take place
On one of these assures Il shaft, 125 feet,
shows we'll defined vein matter with
some ore. This shaft is being sunk
deeper with the purpose of determining
the depth of the lime
DR.. SWope has a shaft so feet deeD
on another fissure and one about 20 feet
where the assures cross, with very fine
showing. The latter shaft is all in
iron ore at present, with the assures
running in four directions all iron ore.
On the southern slopes of the noun
tains, large bodies of low grade COPPER
are being developed by Al Schultz, of
