EL PASO DAILY HERALD FRIDAY MAY 4 1900
The mines consist of Five Lead claims and Two
Copper claims. The Lead claims are continuous
on the vein 600x7500 feet.
The hooks of the Company are now open for
subscription to the working capital of which
there are three hundred thousand shares of the
the par value of One Dollar each set aside to be
sold for the purpose of raising sufficient money
to erect a concentrating plant on the ground of
one of the two mill sites owned by the Company.
The Company has decided to build a one hundred
ton plant in place of a fifty ton plant as origin-
ally advertised.
The subscription books are at the office of C.
B. James 6t Co. 14 Bronson Block El
Paso Texas the fiscal agents who are author-
ized to place the stock upon the market at a very
low price.
The Company will sell the second one hundred
thousand shares of its working capital for 25 cents
a share the first one hundred thousand shares
having been sold.
The Company will not sell the third one hundred
thousand shares at a less price than 35 cents per
share and the proceeds of this last hundred
thousand shares when sold will be a reserve to
increase the capacity of the plant.
The plant will be in operation as soon as it can be
built plans and estimaies being already in the
The Mines can be worked by a tunnel directly back
of the mill site on the vein. Ore taken out can be
run -direct from tunnel to mill without handling.
The tunnel will tap the mines at a depth of two
thousand feet below the apex of the mountain
into an inexhaustible supply of ore. No hoisting
or pumping machinery will be required for twenty
years upon the Mines.
The Company estimates its profits on a ioo-ton
concentrating plant to be as follows:
To concentrate six tons Into one. and 100 tons daily capacity
would produce sixteen and two-thirds tons ot Lead
Concentrates averaging 70 per cent Lead and 60
ounces of Sliver.
Daily output of Lead 23 332 lbs. at 41 cts S 991.61
Dally output of Silver 1000 oz. at 55 cts 550 00

hands of several noted contracting houses for
machinery.
The Company has two mill sites with many
springs that will furnish sufficient water for a
much larger plant.
On the Lead claims the vein of ore is from 50
to 100 feet wide carrying from 15 to 35 per cent
in Lead and 10 ounces of silver per ton. There
is ore enough in sight to justify a five hundred
ton plant and to insure dividends for fifty
years to its shareholders.
The people of El Paso have never before had a
more favorable opportunity to put out a little
money and make a small fortune.
The Mines will constantly improve the reduction
plant will increase in capacity the dividends Will
double the shares increase in value tenfold.
This is no fairy tale but truths that can be
demonstrated to the satisfaction of every pur-
chaser. The mines can be nvestigated with
little expense being only seventy-five miles from
this city a day and a half ride in a buggy from
El Paso.

Were the Members Of the
City Council Last Night
AND THEY TALKED SOME
But Even the Whistle Of Chief Pow-
ers Failed To Arouse Them Into
Action And Virtually No Busi-
ness Was Done.
The city council met last night with
lots of important business to transact
but succeeded in adjourning without
transacting any ot it and when the
meeting closed one might well have
asked why it was held at all.
Seven aldermen were on hand all
that are in the city. Before the meet-
ing Mayor Magoffin called them into
his private office for a caucus. What
took place there has not leaked out.
City Clerk Catlln was absent and W.
B. Wilson aoted as such. As the
minutes of the last meeting were not
ready the reading was dispensed with.
RAILROAD SETTLES
Under the head of reoorts of oflioera.
Judge Kemp reported the collection of
8725 from the G. H. & S. A. ro3d for
rent of grounds occupied by the com-j
panys 6tocn pens. Tnls is the result
of the discovery made in the back rec-
ords some months ago by Mr. Catlin
that the company had agreed to pay
we city lor me ground in
question and had not done eo. Im
mediately after the discovery the
long forgotten matter was taken up by
the company with the result that it is
now settled in full.
Judge Kemp also reported the col-
lection of 9213 delinquent taxes.
FASSETT SETTLES IN FULL.
The following communication was re-
ferred to the finance committee:
El Paso Texes May 1 1900.
To the Hon. City Couccil.
Gentlemec: This is to inform you
that I have this day receipted in full
as city treasurer my salary warrants

santa fe and the smelter road.
Chairman Badger of the street im
provement committee reoorted in re
gard to the improvement of the smel-
ter road that there was a probability
that the Santa Fe ratlroad coiddidv
could be induced to do the work free
as .they desired the road to cross
at another point therefore he moved
that the bids ba rejected.
Messrs. Whitmore and Burton how-
ever were opposed to rejecting the
bids. If the Santa Fe would do it all
right but why therefore rejact all
bids 60 hastily uDtil it was positive
that the Santa Fe would do it free.
The matter was finally settled by a
motion to lay it over for a week which
prevailed by a vot3 of 5 to 2 the
negatives being Ogden and Badger.
ELECTRIC CAR ORDINANCE
Chairman Oden of the ordinance
committee reported ia favor of the
ordinance granting to the new electric
street car company the franchise and
right of way asked.
The motion was promptly seconded
but Mr. Badger interposed with the
remark that he considered that more
important than the smelter road mat-
ter and he moved to lay it over a week.
The motion was put and the mayor de-
clared it carried. Mr. Whitmore
called for the ayes and noes and the
motion prevailed by a vote of 3 to 4
the affirmatives being Badger Whit
more MoDuffle and Burton and the
negatives Ogden Stewart and Brun-
ner the members of the ordinance
committee.

This was in line with the recent ac-
tion of the tire department at its meet-
ing some two months a?o which was
published inTull in the Herald. Mr.
Brunner recommended that the coun-
cil cooperate In the matter with the
department. The cost would not be
over $500 and the fire department
would pay $300 of this if the council
would pay the balance. Mr. Brunner
said whistles were now used for this
purpose in all the large cities.
W. S. McCutcheon of the Interna-
tlocal Light & Power company would
furnish the necessary steam for the
whistle free of charge.
The members of the council all ex-
pressed themselves in favor of it but
it was evident that they were not in a
mood to actend to business and nothing
was done.
OREGON STREET SHACKS.
The following protest was referred
to the fire and water committee:
To the Mayor and Honorable CItv
Council:
I desire to call your attention to the
frame buildings owned by the Howard
estate et al. on the west side of Oregon
street between Overland and Second
streets. Theyobstruot about one half
of the sidewalk.
I desire to also oill your attention to
the highly inflammable character of
these buildings which are right in the
very oenler of the olty and should be
removed.
If the owners are allowed to move
the buildings back on the lot it will
still more endanger property in the
rear and I would suggest that if you
do not remove these buildings which
are a fire menaoe to the surrounding
property that you order them cutoff
as much as they are in the street.
The above property Is owned by the
Howard estate of which I believe
Thos. H. Conklin is agent.
