two accompaniment shaft and to
straighten out the windings in the
tunnels driven by the previous own
ers. They finally surrendered the
mine TO the Dimmick Bros. Several
other companies took hold Of the
mine, but all seemed 10 have made
the mistake of fgoing too deep and
getting below the rich ore zone. The
present leessees have taken care not
TO make this same mistake and are
going after the values that may lie
in those parts of the undeveloped
ground which are easier to reach.
They have also taken up a number
Of claims on adjoining ground which

1.-THE mines of the Mogollon dis
trict, New Mexico, are in most pros
porous condition and great activity"
said +. A. Wayne, general manager
of the Ernestine and the Mogollon
companies, at the Harvey house,
Friday. The output of gold and sill
yer bullion and rich concentrates is
steadily increasing and exploration
to greater depth shows continuity Of
ore deposits and values. Mogollon is
a very lively camp, employs 500 men
and has worlds of ore. The mills
are running day and night and the
roads between the camp and Silver
City ARE lined with teams, wagons
and autos hauling mineral out and
supplies into camp"
According to Mr.. Wayne the senti-
ment of the management of the larg-
er companies is very conservative
and does not court notoriety and Is
opposed to any attempt to 'boom"
the camp, which is cnsidered detri-
mental to Legitimate mining opera
tons. "Our company is not selling
stock and there is none for sale. We
are simply mining, and such is the
case of the other companies in Mo-
COLON"
The Mogollon Mines company and
the Ernestine Mining company, al
though distinct corporations, are
practically owned by the same stock
holders and under the same manage
ment. Frank Hitchcock, former
postmaster general, is president, and
T.. A. Wayne is general manager. The
Erncstine Mining company has made
great improvements in its milling
plant. To increase its capacity Il
260- horsepower oil engine of the De
La Vergne type was added. which
gives capacity of $50 horsepower,
and the crushing capacity was in
creased from 100 to 800 tons day.
The old mill has been remodeled and
the old machinery replaced by new
and up to date machinery and APP
planes. so that it is practically II
new mill, with the most modern me-
lallurgical equipment, rendering the
additional recovery of the values
nearly equal to the cost of milling.
Allen +. Mutter is in charge Of the
mill. Meanwhile the mines were be-
ing steadily developed. The main
shaft on the Last Chance vein has
depth of 1000 feet, which
is 500 feet below the tunnel level.
and ore reserves are being developed
and blocked out. The average month
~ production of the company is $780,

claims.
The Maud S has been developed to
II depth of over $50 feet. The Maud
$ vein is credited with having pro-
duced something over $l.25O.OOO.
The Socorro Mines company, in the
