THE SOON TO BE LUNA
C0UNTY'S LARGEST RESOURCE

j. NJ. Crump, miner, from the Tres
Hermanas mining district which Is
about - miles south Of Deming, called
at the Graphic office last Saturday,
and among other good news says that
two companies are now operating In
the district and are financed for com
pletlOn into real mines and that the
Gymkana will begin activities In the
near future.
At present there Is comparatively
few persons who have awakened to the
fact. that right here in sight of Dem
ing Is the largest mineralized zone IN
the Southwest, this Is the report Of al
least four reputable mineriologists who
have examined the district and they
further say that from all evidences
the district can furnish ores for foui
plants as large as the ChinO-it being
much larger mineralized zone than
Santa Rita. II sounds like marvellous
talk 10 the pessimst. II people who
have been grand success know any
thing at all about mineral, Its true,sb be
sides the lime and pOrphyry contacts
and lime and granite contacts bedding
planes and fissure veins. This district
has many large mineralized fault
zoneS-where the silver. lead and other
metals are disseminated all through
quartz porphyry and mongonlte por
phyry. some of which have been eros,
cut for forty feet and yet not to the
contact or walls this quartz porphyry
with mineral disseminated through II
averages $500 TO $500 per ton. and
has been opened up ON seven different
properties. The entire district has long
since been filed ON and the fact that
reputable. experienced mining men af
ter looking over Arizona and northern
New Mexico for months for property
at last came into this district got the
surprise of their lives. they say its the
largest mineralized zone in the south
west and the fact that they bought
claims and are now developing their
property Is proof Of the pudding-they
are now down some 100 feet and well
pleased. The most Skeptical, obnoxious
pesslmisi can be easily converted Ia
these truths by paying the mines a
visit.
