gold strike at pinOs Altos, which has
been the leading topic In New Mex

the silver City Independent received
here today says:
Six sacks OF rich gold ore now re-
pose In the vaults OF the American
National bank as the result of the re-
rent rich strike ON the Langston prop
erty at Pinos Altos. and the end ~
not yet. The ore Is very rich but how
rich no one can guess with any degree
81 accuracy. one nugget. which was
carefully weighed aud It's specific
gravity taken. Is estimated TO contain
t400 wort Of gold. one mining man
describing the ore says Il liz more near
~ true To say that the gaDgue h held
In place by gold rather than that the
gold appears In the gangue. An esti-
mate places the value of the product
un to Monday at $4,000.
one thing hat seems sure about
the present hnd Is that Il is not on
the same vein as hat encountered lesn
TIM 100 feet away by Bell A. Wright.
II this indicates anything. Il would
seem that the vein upon which Boil a
Wright got their rich values Is atill 70
be found on the tanRsion. The
Langston is owned by the G. a q.
Mining and Milling company, OF
which Messrs. Cadoll and Ogelsby are
the owners
The news Of the strike has been a
leading topic for conversation in

doubtedly lead 10 renewed activity

The real richness Of the Pinos Altos
. district, however. does q lie In the
rich ore such as is being taken out
by the Langston people. hut In the
immense bodies OF commercial ore
which Is found IN every one OF doz-
ems OF claims In that district and
which several companies are now
working at a nroht. II the rich ore
attracts sufficient attention u will un-
doubleday lead to development In the
district which vii, result in the large
bodies being more generally mined
than az present.
New Mineral TNound nc Stcins.
; Considerable of a sensation has
been caused at silver city By the
discovery In the mountains south of
Stems of a mineral hat completely
banles the knowledge Of the local ex-
perts In that line. The substance.
whatever II may be. IL white like
chalk and easily broken The pc
culiar thing about II Is that when
broken up and placed ovo an ordi-
nary IRE Il cxplodes with a loud re-
port and burns like sulphur except
that the blaze h OF different colOrs.
Mr. james. who discovered the pecul-
lar stun. has sent samples Ia differ
cut assayers for a report ON the same.
He has staked u and one assess
ment work ON two claims which cover
the deposit. Everybody Is %ahxiously
awaiting the result OF the assay.

Kingston In sierra county hav made
"A strike OF silver ore In that property

assay showed 500 ounces In silver and
8 ounces In gold which az present
