Progress at Santa EulaIia.
The famous old Sta. Eulalia district,
! Is miles from the city of chihuahua,
is going right ahead and continues to
be the principal source of supply OF

Greene Properties Paying
Less than a year ago the Sierra Con-
solidated Mines company entered the
Ocampo district, after taking over nu
merous gold silver properties which
had been segregated from W. c.
Greene's Inflated Greene Gold Silver
company, which had previously totally
collapsed. Under the general manage

superintendency of Robt Linton, of
Los Angeles, systematic mining is go
ing on to prove the good grade true
fissure veins which had yielded $780,
OOO. 600 worth of gold and silver from
the shallow surface workings after
80 Ia percent of the values were lost
in treatment. The company is well
pleased with the work thus far and
the great old camp of Ocampo, or Jesus
Maria, is sure to be again big pro-
