Animas Forxs, Son Juan Co. Colo, Aug. t.—Judging from what one secs ant! hears, ‘his fs probably ono of the liveliest’ mining mumps inthe whole San Juan country. It fs ented very pleasantly on aamall plateau of table-land within a few yards of the forks of the bead-waters of the Animas River. The town proper contains a population of about 100. ft is quite a prosperous businear-camp, -many of the miners for a large arca coming here «2 purchase their supplies. It comprises three geocral stores, tivo hotels, two saloous (one with billiard-tables), two sssay-oflces, onc Meat-market, one blacksmith-ahop, and a con- centrating-mill. There is some talk of starting adance-houses soit may be ect down that the ‘Forks wil! soon be in possession of all the etcot- crus that goto make upa rounded periud of. civilization in the citics of the East. Quite o number of substantial improvements have been made here this season, by the: erection of sey- eral two-story frame buildings, to be occupied as business-bouses and botels, in placa of the log cabins which up to this time havo been used ‘for that purpose, The lumber furnished Yor the erection of these buildings was supplied by a saw-mii} about a mile below town, which docs a - Shriving business, THE CONCENTRATING-MILIy * “owned and operated by the Mineral Mountain M{ning Company, fa one of the principal features of this busy camp, and deserves a more extended notice than my limited time will permit me to give. The mill—conststing of a No. 8 Blake crusher. two acts of rolls, aud four gizs—is for ‘the purpose of ecvarating the mineral In tte erude form and alate from the quartz aud veio- matter, called ganzue, with which it fs found in ithe ore. This gangue-matter fs, py a series of washings and shakinge, ron off, aud called the * tailings’; while the mineral, consisting of Yyorlous base metals intimately blended with the silver ond gald, fs saved, and called “‘concen- trates.” By this provess, ore running from $10 and upwards to the ton, that will not bear the expense of shipment, can be treated at a profit, as from ten to twenty tons of ore can be re- duced to one ton of concentrates, that will ay- erage in value from $100 to $1,000; and this at an expense of only about §2 per ton of ore. Toonebackin the Enstern States, reading about the many discoveries of Immense bodics of rich silver-ore, it seems ea it silver would soop be as common as copper or lead; but one viewIng the eituation from this standpoint Is led to believe it will bea very long series of yenra before the production wilt be In suflciont Quantities to affect its cominerctal value.” It 18 only by slow, Jaborfous, und perstetent effort ‘thul the ore can be wrested from {te native bed; and the oprration is attended oy such ereat ex- pense tha: only men of meangnnd moneyed cor- rations can be In any degree truly successful. Brcourse there aro exceptions, but THIS 18 THE RULE. ‘The stories that are act ufloat in regard to the ‘vast nilueral reeources of this Sun Juan country are nut, in iny opinion, exavgernted In the least, taken a8 a whole; but, in many, very many, Ind!- vidual _cazes, 1 om tree to voniess L think ticy or, For instance, I have read numerous arti- eles descriptive of many companies dong busi- ness in this §«6yielnity, in which are mivep, as the value of the product ot thelr mines, suns which, divided by from ten to 100, would give a re: mote nearly the true value, There are but iow compautes operating fn this vleinity owning mines that ure producing large und rich bodies of mineral, or even pro- ducing tnineral {n paying quantities.
