CLEVELAND MIME TO NAVE
SulPnIOE TREATING PLANT

Silver City-A mill for the treat
ment of sulphides may be erected on
the Cleveland property near Silver
City. Captain C. T. Brown, New
Mexico manager for this company
has been in FL Paso consulting with
mining experts and It is expected thai
the company will develop treating
mill for sulphide ores.
A nugget said to be Of almost pure
silver, weighing thirty-four pounds,
is on display here, having been taken
from the Silver Cell mine at Pinos
Altos, by the lessees, C. W. McSherry
and DIR. r. II. Gudger. It is claimed
that seventy per cent of the nugget
is silver. The ore was taken from a
stone 1876 feet deep, where develop
ment work is under way. A nugget
weighing over 100 pounds was taken
from this mine years ago and exhib-
tied at the Chicago Worlds fair. The
mine, in the early days, was rich
several millions in silver
ore being taken from its workings.
The Silver Hill mine at Pinos Al
os, which ajjoins the Langston mine,
he scene Of recent fabulous gold
strikes, is to be developed by j. W.
Bettes and T. B. Fisher, lessees.
The lessees will incorporate CON-
pany capitalized at $4,000 TO carry
IN the work Of operating the mine.
Since January, last, 1900 feet Of tun-
,el work has been done and indica-
ions are for the finding Of ore run
ling high in gold values.
Recently Major st. Clair Douglas.
/ mining man, formerly Of Guadala-
ara, Mex, negotiated for the pur-
,hase Of the Silver Hill property, but
he deal did not go through.

Eastern Capitalist Visits Demlng

William B. Burford and wife Of
indianapolis. Ind, arrived in the city
Monday and after spending a few
days with friends here went to Silver
City and Mogollon where Mr.. Bur-
ford is interested in mining. Mr..
Burford is president of a large print
ing and engraving concern in the

self as greatly pleased with the
Southwest and said he was greatly
surprised to see such progressive
little city as Deming surrounded by
so much agricultural development.
He said that they spent a week in
FL Paso, which was also wonderful
city which he did not expect to find
on the border Of Mexico. Mr.. and
Mrs. Burford will spend several
weeks at Nimbres Hot Springs before

There were eight days that had
