The big demand for silver mines has
created a boom In the districts around
Silver City, due to the high price of
the white metal and the worldwide
demand to meet the financial needs of
all nations now that peace Is in sight
At the present time there Is great ac-
tivity promised in Cow Springs dis
trict, especially in the Uncle Sam
group. The Uncle Sam group Of min
ing claims consists of four mining
claims having length Of approximate
~ 5000 feet upon a prominent vein or
lode, which outcrops for a distance of
about 1000 feet. The property was
operated during the month of Decem-
ber, 1885, and January Of 1887 by the
present owner, producing about $780,
600 In silver. The ore was hauled by
teams to Silver City, where 1t was
treated by amalgamation in the old
