New Era Dawns for Hillsboro Mining Camp
Hillsboro New Mexico sees renewed investment as a syndicate from West Virginia and New York interests acquire mines in the Hillsboro camp. The Good Hope and Bonanza mines receive active development, eight properties are purchased by Bigelow Gold and Copper Mining, and El Dorado shows a 12 to 14 foot vein with 1 to 4 foot pay streak. Julia Howe Bigelow visits, Bigelow’s plan aims to ship 100000 tons of ore before milling equipment is chosen, while Black Peak Gold Mining Corp plans dividend development with 1090 feet of proven workings.
