The Artesia Copper Company is q
new concern recently incorporated at
Santa Fe with a capital of S250,0O0
and 100000 shares.
Good looking mineral Is being shown
at Santa Rosa as having been found
near Puerto de Luna, in the adjoining
county Of Guadalupe.
The oil indications in the bad lands
have been turned over to parties who
are likely to begin operations soon to
prove whether or not oil exists in pay
ing quantity
The company operating the Bell
well at Dayton will sell $4,000 worth
Of stock in order to sink deeper. This
well shows good indications, consider
able oil and gas being apparent, but not
sufficient to warrant pumping. The
hole is down 1900 feet and It is be-
lieved that with greater depth good
paying proposition will bs brought In.

Gently that the ore was above the ordi-

was found to contain gold in quantity
far beyond all expectations. One sam
