Consultation and advice Irce. MINES OF OLD MEXICO. One Property Thai Hit Bn Worked For 350 Yr. Mr. Henry C Hall of Colorado Spring, gives the "Mining Nauru" of thai city some Interesting Information about the mines ol Mexico, on his return trom an extended visit to that country. Mr savs Mexico picsents many te.iturrs ol special interest to mining men, aside trom the Keuer. il interest one linds In that country. He says lire distrkt of Guanajuato is per haps one ol the most remarkable mining camps in the world. It is over no years old and is traversed by an immense mother vein, whUi ll.is yielded 'millions upon millions in silver. The properly ol the Valeiici.iua, it is estimated, has produced fSiK,ooo,ooo In me. The shaft on this mine measures Ihirty-eight feet across and is octagonal in shape. Operations were carried 011 hy means ol eight-horse u inches and 1, 000 stallions were employed in the -work on the propeitv. The shall has at tained a depth ol j,ooo and the workings ol it aie simply wonderful. It is a remark a Me fact that the great mother vein has been mined lor a distance of seven miles, and it is said produced one-tenth of the world's silver prodiut. To arrive at the es.kt production, however, would require some liguiing, as there ate several old ipropertles whlih were formerly operated ;md latei ueglevted It is a curious lad that so little lias hern said ol this section, since It presents .so many interesting features. In the tirst place, the age ol some ol the mines is Interesting, and if one could trace tile history ol them since the time they were discovered, mauv interesting stories would he unfolded. There is one property there which an English company h.i work-d for eighty years and three generations have been represented in its management. The value of this ore in some iustat'Ces is fabulous, ore having been mined frorii the Valenciana worth 1 0,000 a ton. While the mines are al most wholly silver propositions, Mime gold has been found in paying quantities. I Labor is very cheap, the average price I paid being about 50 cents a day. In connection with the silver wealth of I the country of which I have been speak j lug, there is one substantial proof of it at I (iuauajiiato. A church there is solidly built ol silver ore as It was mined Irom the earth, and the several altars in the edilkt are plated with gold said to be worth Joo.ooo. I understand that Im mense oilers have been made for the ' church building, the object being to tear It down lor the sliver it is worth. The au thorities, however, have rejected all offers and the church still stands as one of the evldeiues of the wealth of that section. It mav be astonishing, savs the Mining Nemrd, to the average person that such wealth propositions as are said to e.lst in Mexico should have been permitted to lay Idle, but Mr. Hall explains tills by the I. ut that the crude operations ol the min ing there and the laxity of titles to the property have caused complications to aiise which have resulted in some prop erties being abandoned. The activity, how ever, is fast being renewed with the modern methods ol mining introduced and the advancement of the country and the people should be very rapid. It is a fact ' that now the underground workings of several properties are Hooded by water to such .1 extent that the most expert en gineering and management would be required to get them into shape for the ' resumption of operations. In one in stance a large property Is said to have ' an underground lake that is one of the wonders of that section. There are a number of properties that are being sue-1 cessfullv operated, however, and an im mense quantity ot ore is being produced from the big mother vein. T.D.Bellinger & Co. .OI: SUMPTEN.
