erly and Mr.. Cooney in the Mogollons
ana sold by them to the present com-

on the Fannie ~ coo feet deep, from
which point the crosscut -gfll run to
the Fannie vein and the shaft be con

The shortage Of water this season
has retarded milling operations seri-
Dusly for some time. but now that the
rainy season has set in. this difficulty
will he obviated and an abundant sup
ply OF water will be obtained for all
milling purposes. Recent develop
ments in the way OF drifting and stop
ing show large ore bodies of exccp-
.tionally good commercial value Of
milling ores
The process OF treatment used in
the Mogollon mines is commonly
known as the cyanide method, The
ore is first run into the min, into the
and is concentrated; and the
concentrates, consisting OF sulphidc
material are shipped by express, be-
ing extremely rich, to distant shelters.
From the tables the shines are run
