Incorrect.

FL Cajon Mines Have
Begun Producing
Ore Contains High Percent
ages of Lead, Copper
and Silver

Renewed activity on some min
ing property down the river, which
may have an important bearing on
the future of this mining section
has begun. Ell cajon" property,
situated about thirty-five miles to
the north of Benson, at the head of
SOFA Canyon, has been acquired by
Messrs. S. S. Culver, of Los An
gele, J. B. Hudson and Geo. Rie-
ben. and they are now engaged in
getting out the ore and preparing
to make shipments.
The group consists of nine claims
bearing lead, copper, silver and an
inconsiderable quantity of gold.
From Mr. Culver, who was in town
Tuesday, it was learned that there
are now about fifty tons of ore on
the dump ready for shipment The
ore will be hauled TO Benson and
shipped to the FL Paso smelter, for
which arrangements have already
been made. The ore runs high in
percentage of metal. the informant
giving the amounts as 80 to 90
per cent lead, Is to Is per cent
copper and as high as 20 ounces of
silver to the ton.
These claims were bonded for
500, 900 something over two years
ago with an Illinois company, and
theNdeal was about to be closed, a
very favorable report having been
made to the company by their en-
gineer ON his inspection trip to the
property. Owing to the death of
the engineer making the report and
a combination of circumstances the
deal fell through and only as late as
last December, when the present
partnership was formed, was there
signs of renewed development and
production. They are well pleased
with the outlook and Mr. Culver
strongly emphasized the fact that
the property is not for sale
The same men own the White
mountain group. a mile distant,
which is a big low-grade copper
proposition, requiring railway facil-

of it not altogether pleasant, as he

Accepts Position in Texas

Mr.. J. F. Graham leaves today
for Terlingua, Texas, where he has
accepted a good position as foreman
superintendent of a mercury mine.
The mine is in the Big Bend Coun-
try, some distance beyond Ell Paso
to the southeast, and lies between
the Southern Pacific railroad and
the Rio Grande. Mr.. Graham has
gained the confidence and esteem
of large proportion of the people
of Benson during his comparatively
short stay here, and his departure
is a cause of general regret,
