Tho Silver Monument mine Is
working the mines, principally the
Republic mine, and is running the
mill at full capacity. This property
II situated at Phillipsburg, in the
Chloride district, in the northern part
Of the Black Range mountains, So
zorro county, New Mexico. 1t is now
owned and operated by the Calumet
Mining company under the supervi-
sion Of Manager Duval with a force
Of twenty men. A great many leas-
ers are working in the district. Two
auto trucks are kept busy hauling
out to Magdalena. The new mail
contractor who has the route between
Chloride and Engle station via Ele-
plant Butte has put on new automo-
biles and is running in quick time,
making Chloride each day at 3 p. m.
The Null line mine, owned by Captain
John Winram, has struck richer ore
than ever in the bottom Of the shaft
which has reached a depth of $50
feet. The ore is silver-copper glance
carrying good gold values. The Pei
lean Mining, Milling and Power CON-
pany, New York company, Of which
Col. George II. Holegate is president
and general manager, is working its
group of eight claims, locally called
the Pelican group in the Palomas dis
trict south Of Chloride. This proper
ty is a silver and lead proposition,
and has had good record, having
shipped, il is claimed, over one and n
half million dollars worth of ore. The
ores were very high grade in silver.
There are 20 to 30 different dumps.

able fines which at low estimation
run from Is to 30 ounces silver 0v-
er six miles of underground workings
in tunnels and Slopes, some of the
latter being 100 feet high, have been
made. Some Of the ores shipped in
the past are said TO have run $1,000
per ton, carrying chlorides and native
silver. According TO Colonel llolgate
over sixty million dollars worth of
ore is in sight in the several proper
ties, and now work is in progress in
sinking 10 reach the second contact.
The second conta Il lies below the
shale. The former production was
from the first contact above the
shale. The company is contempat-
ing putting up large concentrating
plant. There are number of Ger
man bankers and capitalists inter
ested in the property.
Red River district prospects in
Taos county, New Mexico, are prov
ing good. In the Carabel mine, an
ore shoot five feet wide has been
struck at depth of 400 feet, in
which the ore assays S25 in gold and
silver per ton, where intcrsected by
a crosscut from the tunnel level. Ex-
ploration in the Anaconda tunnel cut
two large shoots of ore assaying two
per cent copper at vertical depths
of $50 feet and 500 feet. The gold
and silver bearing assures are usual
ly confined TO part of the vein, the
rest of the vein filling being too low
grade for profitable mining. This ten
dency has led TO conclusion in tax
ing samples across the entire face of
the vein between walls. Under the
new management the method has
been TO first recognize the definite
pay streak in the veins. The cost of
drifting and timbering has averaged
$2.95 per foot, and most of the ore
milled was broken in development.
The ore in the mine bins last year
averaged Mt first $l5 per ton and
later on S25 per ton. ssSSvclopmeni
of ore reserves in the Carabel mine
is rapidly progressing. The vein has
been cut in two places. 20 feet apart.
and the ore now averages over $50.
the gold contents being LIS ounces
per ton. There is now an ore shoot
blocked ut l40 feet Ing.
A new steam plant will be installed
on the Golden Treasure mine, belong
ing to the company of the same name
A four-foot body of milling ore goes
down from the surface to the bottom
Of the l15-foot shaft. b. J. Young
and eastern associates will soon re

in the same district. and n tunnel will
