Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1894-04-05

"bigness" and the permanency of it, A
number of new and important mineral
finds have been made within few days,
and Mr.. Akers says he is almost afraid to
try and tell the truth about them. These
new strikes are mostly from the top of
the range north of Pine canon. From a
ledge fifty feet wide on which Chess
Greenwood, of Rico, Mr.. Lowthian, of
Denver, aud others have located claims,
Mr.. Akers PANIED gold from ore that he
thinks will readily yield 800 IN gold to
the ton, and he also saw an assay GER
tificate showing another ledge to run
thirteen ounces in gold. On the south
end of this ledge the A., Z. e. S. F. con-
ductors' syndicate have number of
splendid claims.
Another citizen of Santa Fe has just
had assay returns of one and half ounces
in gold from surface rock on a mineral
lied quartz ledge that is easily shown to
be 100 feet in width.
AS long as such reports as these con-
tinue to be brought IN from the district
by trustworthy men Santa Feans can
afford to keep their commercial eyes well
conferred on Cochiti.
PERALTA CANON NOTES.
Correspondence of the New Mexican.
Kent City, Cochiti district, April s.
Heretofore there has not been much of a
rush to Peralta canon, but now the daily
arrivals here are as numerous as in Pine
canon. Some twenty-five persons recent
ly came In. About ten arrivals day is
the average.
Peralta canon is wide and attractive
and is reached by good wagon road from
Cochiti to Kent City.
AS much mineral is in sight here, and
of as good grade, as in any part of the
district. The prospects are in the hands
of good men, chiefly Santa Fe railroad
boys, and they are being honestly devel'
oped.
Among other advantages the camp is
blessed with plenty of pure spring water
and an abundance of timber.
Peter Powers, who will devote his at
tention to the hotel and livery business
offers good accommodations to travellers
There are three stores and blacksmith
shop on the ground, and others will soon
follow.
The NEW MEXICAN is in demand. It's
fair and full reports of the progress of
the district are highly appreciated here
