about 500 feet!
The Mormon vein is a ffssure lying
alongside Of a diorite dixie, and at the
surface the ore, which was well oxi-
died, ran S65 a ton in gold On the
property is Huntington mill and cy-
anide plant. which has treated about
$4,000 worth OF ore.
Hundreds Rushed TO the Camp.
In the winter Of 1S93-94, the mine
caused a wild stampede of gold hunt
ers from FL Paso and the, southwest.
At least 500 men camped there, and
white tents decorated the hills and
gulches- Two rival daily stage lines.

The FL PasO Herald tells of an in

an eastern state where people are wont
to assume an attitude of horror when
they read of a penitente procession in
New Mexico's mountains:
.'Pennsylvania's coal miners crucified
one of their number twice in one day,
charging that he had reported some
of his fellow workers for violating
