ABOUT THE GRANTS.
The above extract from the Republican
is kindly enough save in its reference to
the grants. The visitor interviewed by
the Republican evidently did not inform
himself fully as regards this so-called
drawback. There is not the least
difficulty in the way OF prospecting, de-
veloping and ownership of mining claims
in that locality referred to. The Lucky is
situated within the former boundaries Of
the Canon del Aqua grant, the
patent for which has been set
aside by the supreme court OF the
territory, and the case is now pending in
in the l. s. supreme court. Until that
ig decided the grant claimants are not in
terfering with any one locating there
under the U. S. land laws. Ii the deci-
sion OF the territorial court should be re-
versed, then the claimants publicly pro-
claim their desire to continue the develop
ment of mineral by making the most
generous terms with the mine locators.
About the San Pedro grant there is no
question, and liberal terms are given Ill
prospectors to come and work the ore
bodies there found. On the Ortiz grants
similar arrangement has been in vogue
for years, and has resulted admirably for
all parties concerned. Hence there is no
fear of springing the grant question. The
mineral is there and miners are invited
to come and locate and work it.
CAMP ECHOES.
joyce Board and family arrived from
Cerrillos to-day and will remain here over
Sunday.
There is still big demand for teams at
Dolores. The haul is short one and the
pay is first class.
A business man who is on the inside
said to-day: II believe our narrow gauge
railroad will be moving toward the mines
in few weeks" Good enough.
John Patterson left for San Pedro on
his second stage trip this morning.
Amongoth things he took down several
hundred pounds of Santa Re fruit.
1t takes good deal of nerve to refuse
a quarter OF million dollars for q mine
which has only been opened six weeks,
but the Lucky men know their business
best.
Joseph johnson, whose teams are
making money hauling Lucky ore to Ger
rillos, came up to-day to spend Sunday
with his family. He has renounced al
legiance to Trinidad and says Santa Fe
will be his future home.
W. P. Cunningham, of the Santa Fe
Copper company's store, has gone east
on mining deal to be absent two
months. In the mean time S. W. Bon
ner, late with Z. n. Reaser here, is filling
his place
Col. L. W. Wynkoop came in from
Dolores yesterday, and brings glowing
reports OF the industrial situation there.
He brought In galena samples from 4
prospect said to be owned by DR.. Metcalf.
And the doctor has the fever also, it
SEEING.
Parties in from San Pedro to-day de-
scribe Col. johnson as wearing overals
and blue shirt, and say he is one OF the
busiest men in camp. He has surveyors
on the ground plating new town site
an enterprise in which the Santa Fe Cop.
per company itself has large interest.
No snide affair, but legitimate business
undertaking
Mr. N. n. Cooper, IA old Leadville
mining man, who has been quietly in
specting the Sun Pedro-Dolores mines,
was in the city last night. He thinks
that not only San Pedro will continue to
boom on account Of her carbonate ores,
but that Dolores will keep fully abreast
Of it by reason OF the great deposits OF
free milling gold existing there. 1t is the
opinion OF such men as Mr.. Cooper
which is worth banking on.
