Gold ore brought into Silver City
Wednesday from the Langston mine
is valued at 100000 gold per ton.
John Oglesby brought in the ore
which contains so per cent gold and
deposited il in the vault of the
American National Bank. Nearly
every one in Silver City rushed
around to see the wonderful ore and
all declared that it is the richest
gold ore they had ever seen. Thirty
large ore sacks weighing each 100
pounds have already been taken out
Of the mine and more is being ia
ken out every day. Guards are still
kept on duty at the mine. No spec
linens Of the ore are allowed to be
given away because it would be like
giving away twenty dollar gold
pieces.
The ore is contained in u regular
quartz vein and not in pockets,
because the vein is "a regular true
fissure cutting through the noun
tains for several locations in length.
The rich ore still continues in the
drift, also at the top and bottom.
There is no possibility Of telling at
present the extent Of this rich ore
body.
SILVER HILL MINE
The Silver Hill mine is the south
extension of the Langston and is
leased by j. w. Pettis, and ore show
ing plenty of free gold is being mined
therein from this vein and shipments
will soon be made TO the smelter.
GOLDEN GIANT COMPANY
This company's property con-
sists Of the Golden Giant and the
Mammoth mining claims. r. II.
Perry is general manager. These
two mines were worked quite ex-
tensively several years ago, but on
account Of the high cost Of freight
and treatment charges the mine
closed down. Mr.. Perry is now
erecting a mill for the treatment Of
the ore and a four-inch pipe line has
been completed from the water works
to the mill. The water is forced
one and one half miles to the mill by
large Jennings pump and 80-h-p
boiler. The Golden Giant has a
shaft down over 500 feet on the vein
Of ore. The Mammoth mine has one
shaft 800 feet and another $50 feet.
The latest improved machinery and
concentrating tables which are calcu-
lated to save even the values in the
shines will be placed in the mill, and
there is no doubt that this property
will be one Of the great gold produ-
GERS Of the Pinos Altos district as
soon as the mill is ready for the
treatment Of the ores from the mine.
Work is being pushed as fast as men
and money can push it, and the mill
will soon be putting out the precious
metal.

very high grade gold ore in former
days, running up into hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars per ton. Mr..
Bell is not a gutter and will show
the people Of Pinos Altos that the
Mountain View mine will be q pro-
Queer Of very rich gold ore again is

the mine, one Of whom is Col. j. w.
Fleming Of Silver City.
