A Month's  Showing

As  an  index  of  the  prosperity  of  Silver 
City,  the  appended  statement  may  afford  some 
clue :

Wells,  Fargo  & Co.’s  books  show  that 
during  the  month  of  October  $18,962  in  gold 
and  $10,072  in  silver  bullion  were  shipped 
through  their  office,  whilst  the  gross  receipts 
of  the  agency  shows  an  excess  of  $195.50  over 
that  of  the  corresponding  month  last  year.

The  merchandise  shipments  to  the  Mogol- 
lon  country  from  two  of  our  leading  establish- 
ments, amounted  to  56,500  pounds.  Of  this 
amount  Gillett  & Sons  are  credited  with  47,000 
pounds  and  M.  W.  Neff  with  9,500  pounds.

The  ore  shipments  amounted  to : iron  ore 
760,000  pounds;  silver  ore  120,000  pounds,  and 
concentrates  320,000  pounds.Information  comes  in  from  the  lower  Gila 
that  a freighter  by  the  name  of  Adams,  plying 
his  avocation  between  Duncan  and  Carlisle, 
became  enraged  at  one  of  his  horse,  which  was 
too  poor  and  thin  to  work,  and  almost  beat  it  to 
death.  He  came  up  to  the  camp  and  got  supper, 
and  bragged  of  what  he  did,  stating  that  he  was 
going  back  and  finish  the  job.  The  miners  did 
not  like  his  talk.
