Warner N. Van Norden. president OF

acid up and robbed Of s2S,000 on East
Thirty-third street. New York by two
women. Two suspects are under ar
rest.
He was glad that the women high
waymen had not taken quite all that
he had when they waylaid him. The
$4,000 which they did take were
stretched at full length in the long
compartment Of his wallet; doubled
into a smaller pocket were four 500
bills and a ST le piece Of paper cur
rency with the $500 mark on it. These
remnants OF the $4,000 which Mr. Van
Rorden had with him when he left the
Hotel Waldorf to go 10 his home al
West Fifty-seventh street had been
overlooked by the feminine thugs.

visit this new property.
The holdings Of the Gold Queen Min

miles south of the old Commonwealth
mine at Pearce from which many mil
lions in gold and silver have been taken
during the last dozen years Work is
still carried on with a horse within, but
will be replaced with a modern hosting
plant.
The mine is the only gold mine in
Arizona without a waste dump. There
are fully 10. 600 tons of ore on the dump
all of which viii pan and show a beau

dormant for these many years. not on
account CT its isolation nor from lack
of mineral but because Of the lack of

and Ignorance Of the geological cOndi-
lions so apparent TO the new corners.
Il found that hundreds of feet of eX
pensive work had been done and hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars had been
thrown away in this manner. AS you

vious fact, 1 ran cross cut and in a

terial goes TO about IS percent.
In this hard Limestone there has been
very little teaching. with subsequent en-
richment at some lower level. The ore
sets in almost from the surface and the
shaft from which the best material has
been shipped is only % feet in depth.
So far as present observations go it
seems likely that the ore viii be fairly
uniform in quality, without exhibiting
extremes in either direction It is likely
to carry some gold at all times and now
and then from One-quarter to One-half
an ounce, the gold being associated more
with the pyrite than with the chaIcopy-
rite. The gCI5 content OF these copper
ores Is a factor of great advantage. al
though it may not be higher than one
quarter of an ounce.
Promising District.
Here is a copper district of good
promise within so miles of Ell PasO,
with a freight rate of 1925 a ton, Of
easy accessibility, with a splendid CHI
mate and good shipping facilities. 1t is
practically untouched and is likely to
afford excellent ore at comparatively
shallow depths While 1t may not prove
to be a great producer yet the continu
ent workings, would justify the opinion
that profitable operations can be car
ried on there. for a number of years.
Within a mile of Sierra Blanca sta
ton, where the Texas & Pacific railway
makes connection with the Southern Pa
cific. there is a 200 foot shaft on an
other promising copper deposit The ore
here is more siliceous than on the west
side of the Quitmans and is more brec-
ciated and broken. However, the SLICE
Gus ores may disappear in depth and be
replaced by the sulphideS.

ing at that time in the Quitman
mountains and the opinions OF that care

there during the last II years, but
the opening OF the copper deposits, on
the west side, during the last year or
so has given additional reasons for the
hope that this mineral district win soon

ments that have been made.
1t is q copper district of considerable
promise and very little attention need be
given TO the lead ores. If these are
found in the course OF prospecting well
and good. let them be saved and shipped,
but the main object OF the prospeetor
should be the location of the copper
ores.
Several cars of copper ore have been
shipped and the average of the hand
picked stuff was close to IS percent
in copper and 81 in gold. The best ore
that has been taken out gave 81 percent
copper SO ounces silver and 1872 ounces
gold. The wagon haul 10 the railroad is
81 a ton, with a possible reduction to
rs cents. The freight to FL Paso IS
S125 a ton. so that the total cost OF
wagon and railroad freight is S2.25 a
ton.
Water Not Plentiful
There is not much water in the Quitman
mountains for operations on a consid-
cradle scale, but the Rio Grande is only
seven miles distant. II is likely that
much additional water could be OBJ
tanned through wells sunk on the east
side in the granite. Some mine water
may be encountered on the west side,
especially near the contact of the lime
stone and granite. bur there are no
shafts deep enough to warrant a posi-
tive opinion on this point.
The copper values in the limestone do
not always lie in immediate proximity
to the lime of contact with the granite
or with the pOrphyry. The best look
ing prospect that I saw is rom 200 10
ESQ feet below the contact. where there
is no granite at all. At this place there
