Development Work
In Mines Is Rapidly
Pushed Forward
OLD MINE MAY BE OPENED
Lifetime Citizen OF Silver City
Thinks Mining Matters Look
Good For This Camp

The outlook for Silver City to again be-
come busy and bustling mining camp
is an almost absolute certainty. The
many rich strikes recently made and
the vast amount Of development going on
at present are two positive indications of
the renewal Of activities in the mines Of
this locality
A fresh rumor is ahoat that promi-
nent mining man, well known to the
people Of this locality, is now negotiating
for a lease on the famous Trade Dollar
mine from out Of which millions Of dollars
have been taken, and it is said, if success
ful in securing the lease he will reopen
the mine for operation early this spring.
At one time there were several hundred
miners employed on this property, and in
the event of work on it starting up again,
the immediate Initiation of the camps
population would result, as but few min
remain in Silver since the shutdown Of
this mine about year ago.
Last week one Of the principal stock
holders in the Banner mine was in Cald-
well, and from an interview Tribune
representative had with him, that paper
publishes the following:
August Crete Of Silver City was in the
city Wednesday for the purpose Of meet
ing Mrs. Crete who will arrive today on
her return from an extended visit in
Southern California.
Mr.. Crete was born in Silver City and
has been extensively engaged in mining
and is now interested in several promis-
ing properties in that famous mining
camp. He has large block of stock in
the Banner mine where one of the richest
stikes of late years was recently made.
Mr.. Crete has been working in the mine
and has magnificent specimen Of white
quartz about one and half inches in di-
ameter thickly studded with gold. He
states that no person is permitted in the
tunnel where the strike was made except
the interested parties connected with the
property. As soon as the snow disappears
SO that supplies can be taken in, the work
of taking out the ore will commence.
''The Banner mine was sold to tue pres
ent owners about five years ago, when it
was only prospect hole, for $50, 600. To-
day it could not be purchased for half a
million, and viii doubtless make the
present stockholders wealthy.
''Mr. Crete states that the Never ersweat'
mine located on War Eagle mountain and
owned by Louis sorenson has made
wonderfully rich strike. Several other
are looking good. Silver City
will soon again be one of the busy camps
of the state.
