Palomas Mining District


The Palomas district is on the east slope of the Black Range and extends from the southern limit of the Apache District just south of Monument Creek to the northern limit of the Black Range (Kingston) district, which commences at the north fork of Percha creek. Various showings of ore have been discovered throughout the length of the district, and some development work has been done in spite of the difficulty of access to the region. Hermosa is situated on Palomas Creek about 15 miles south of Chloride and about 45 miles west of Engle on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway. Good roads extend from Engle, via Elephant Butte dam, and from Hot Springs to the little town of Cuchillo, beyond which travel is by mountain road which for nearly 10 miles is in the bed of Palomas Creek. The main areas of mineralization are at two places in the district, one just north of the town along the trail that leads to Chloride, and the other at the old settlement of Palomas Camp, about a mile east of Hermosa on the north bank of Palomas Creek.
