Lordsburg has come to look uron
Geo. w. Foreman. vice-president and
general manager OF the Octo Min
ing Co, as a man who is able to put
big things. Last Christmas TIM,
he came here and found the mining
company floundering around in some
thing like Sl4!00 OF debts, which
included the water boys upto the big
Smelter Supply Companies. Mr.. Fore
man Immediately went to work to
wipe out this Indebtedness which he
has succeeded in doing and placing
the company on a sound financial
basis.
The company is being rcorganized
under the laws OF California and will
sail under a different name, the Anita
Copper Co. the new name being in
honor OF one OF the popular young
ladies OF West Virginia. who is a
stakeholder in the company.
Every mining mar in the southwest
knows that the Octo is one of the
big mining properties in this wonder
full mineral district. Mr.. Foreman's
intention is to erect a mill and a small
smelter for the purpose OF reducing
the ore on the ground, which will in
clude the copper. silver and gold con-
tanned in this splendid ore -Lords-
burg Liberal.
Monday marked an epoch in the
history of the COOPERATIVE Mining
Co.. when its enlarged flotation mill
made its first t~wenty-four hour run
SINCE the installation of the large
crusher plant. The extraction ex-
ceeded the expectations of all who
were on the ground directly cor
nected with the enterprise. il being
o1.10 per cent. Mi1lmen work dill
gently for this percentage OF extrac-
ton. but it is seldom obtained.
The flotation machines are Of the
inspiration type. a slow machine.
which proved highly satisfactory in
every respect. No other method OF
extraction is being used in the mill
excepting flotation. From present re-
suits it will not be necessary to use
anv other method.
The mill was designed by II c
Walter. President and General Man
ager of the company. who built the
first mill using the flotation process
for the traction of silver in this
section of the southwest.
