-. oponCcT, VI DcHfcTy well anu
favorably known the west over as an ey-
tensive operator In mines, is in the city
for few days. He has just returned
from Cochiti, whittier he went in com
pany with Mr.. Frank Hamilton, banker
of Austin, Texas. Mr.. Spencer sent some
ore, out of one of the big prospects, away
to have it assayed and if the result is
satisfactory he will invest. He went to
the camp for the purpose of investiga-
ton and is SO we'll satisfied that he in
tends investing quite snug sum in sew
eral prospects.
In an interview with a reporter for the
New MEXICAN Mr.. Spencer said:
Il have an exceedingly high opinion of
the district. l have never before seen
such a display of surface ores and values.
"The veins are immensely large. The
development is necessarily slow as the
miners have no facilities for development
work. The Crown Point and Lone Star
mines are wonderful properties. don't
intend to pay any attention to the grant
scare. The miners ought not to remain
away from the district one minute ON
account of the alleged existence of any
grant over there. The camp will be of slow
but sure growth. If it was in Colorado
there would be $4,000 people there and all
of them would be at work. The people
there now form the best class it has been
my lot to encounter in new camp. The
miners, every one of them, are hospltable,
energetic and earnest.
81 don't believe any camp in the world
ever had better surface Indications. A
great deal of Denver capital will be in
vested in the district as every loose dollar
in that city is seeking gold mine. All
the camp needs now is money and that
will come as soon as the district is de-
veloped little more"
THE SHERIFF 1NspEors IT.
Sheriff Cunningham returned last night
from three days trip to Cochiti He
reports having had good trip and comes
home with nothing but words of praise
for the new camps. In company with
others he went over the entire district
and made as thorough an investigation
as his limited time would permit. Tho
sheriff says that the man who says Co.
chit is not a good and rich mining dis
trict knows not whereof he speaks. Ac-
cording to his statements there can be no
possible doubt of its future greatness.
1t has the mineral and all the other nee
essary requisites for permanent camp.
In speaking of the four prospects already
developed into big mines, namely the
Lone Star, Crown Point, Iron King and
Bull of the Woods, the sheriff is most
enthusiastic IN his praise of their great
ness. The sheriff has location in Cola
canon which promises to turn out well.
He says confidence in the camp does not
abate and that the rush will continue to
grow greater from now on.
ECHOES FROM THE MINES.
The Las Vegas Optic is mistaken. No
body has attempted to Join any mine
claimant in the Cochiti district. That
isn't all, either. Will the Optic please
correct it's statement?
/ Thos. Lowthian, of the Lone Star in
Cochiti, says that anyone who don't like
to see him on their land grant had better
tell him personally about it. There is
no doubt, he says, of securing patent on
the Lone Star.-Albuquerque Demo-
crat.
R. M. Scott, of Cripple Greek; W. S.
Owen and j. H. Poade, of Rico; R. w.
Fleming and T. Studeman, of Denver, and
I. &. Doolittle, of Golden, Colo, arrived
in the city last night. They are outfit
ting here to-day and leave for Cochiti by
to-morrow's stage.
In writing to renew his subscription to
the Daily NEW MEXICAN and order some
extra copies of the edition containing the
recent write up of Taos county mining
interests, DR.. B. c. Leavitt, of Denver,
says: ~ am much pleased to read your
accounts of Amizett region presented in
such an interesting way, rs I am largely
interested in that region and have inter-
ested quite number of eastern people,"
The NEW MEXICAN has received from
the State Ore Sampling company, of
Denver, Colo, a pamphlet issued by them
describing their new mill and process of
sam plng ores, which also contains other
interesting information and seems to be
quite useful book for miners. A copy
will be mailed free to those desiring one.
Mr.. S. B. Shelby returned last night
from months trip to Cochiti. He has
several claims located and thinks the
canon road has been completed as far as
Eagle city, ore shipments will begin in
earnest from the Crown Point, Lone Star
and other great mines. Mr.. Shelby also
says there is no question abont Santa Fe
holding the trade of the new camps if the
stage facilities are made what they should
