COCHITTS ADVANCE.
Contracts Let for a Forty Stamp Mill
-AllertOn's New Llfe-Rich
Ore-Mine Notes.

Mr.. j. W. Akers returned from the Co
chit district last night. He brings word
that the camp has assumed new life as
the result of the visit of Messrs. j. w.
Bailey, R. W. Woodbury. and other Denver
capitalists. The purchase of the Iron
King mine by these parties will be fol-
lowed by the immediate erection of mill,
the site for which was surveyed at AL
lerton Yesterday. The mill is to consist
of forty stamps with a chloridization
process accompanying it. The contracts
for getting out and framing the timbers
have been let and the machinery ordered
Mr.. Bailey says the new mills
whistle will echo up Pine canon
in less than sixty days. Its loca-
ton at Allerton was surprise, and the
effect has been magical, everybody re-
stalking their town lots and preparing for
fresh boom. Originally it was thought
the mill would be located in Medic Dia
canon, where water is abundant but this
would have necessltated the construction
of a tramway of some two miles In length
to convey the ore from the mines. At
Allerton all the conditions are favorable,
except as to water, and this will be RENE
died by putting in pumping plant on
the Rio Cochiti and pumping the water
up to SAllerton,a distance of some two
miles.
Mr.. Akers says affairs in the district are
processing most satisfactorily and every
body speaks well of the outlook. He
brought over with him some magnificent
specimens of ore from the Lone Star
mine, specimens which he thinks will run
about $400 to the ton, one-third OF it
being gold.
SECRETARY MILLER's RETURN.
Secretary Lorion Miller returned from
Eagle and Allerton this morning. He
confirms the report that the Bailey party
have decided to erect their mill at Aller-
ton. The town company yesterday
bought out Col. Moore's pipe line and
made arrangements to extend it one and
a half miles so as to bring water from
Cochiti canon to the town of Allerton.
Mr.. Miller's visit WAS on telephone bust
ness. The line from Cerrillos via the
ferry was finished to Alierton yesterday
and will reach Eagle City by Monday
next. There is some defect, however, in
several of the instruments and this may
cause a few days delay in getting the
system in operation. For the line be-
tween Santa Fe and Eagle, via the ferry
and Allerton, the poles are now in place
for half the distance to the ferry and the
balance are on the ground. Col. Moore's
men will resume work on this line next
week.
MINE BRIEFS.
Eight men we're set to work on the Iron
King mine on Tuesday last.
Lots at Allerton doubled in value
yesterday. Inside lots are now held at
5000 each.
H. M. Nash, j. P. Van Wrinkle and G.
M. Ashton, of Colorado, left by stage for
Eagle City this morning.
Messrs. Geo. X. Baldwin and w. S.
Hemingway have gone to look over the
Golden and San Pedro mining district.
If you have any doubts about Cochitis
greatness call at the Arcade and see those
samples of ore brought in from Eagle
City yesterday.
Mr.. j. NJ. Forsha, of Denver, brother
of Capt. John T. Forsha, of this city, was
passenger to the Cochiti mines by way
of Wallace this morning.
Messrs. VIM. j. Clark and N. Paulsen,
Arizona miners, went to Espanola this
morning with one of Lowitzki's teams.
Thence they will go to the Chama placer
fields.
Those who ought to know say that 1000
coal miners will be employed in the vicin-
ity of Waldo by September l. Local
politicians are watching such moves and
say south Santa Fe county is sure to
WELD an important influence in the next
election.
Mr.. Charles F. Yardman came in from
the Cochti district yesterday for supplies
and will return in few days. He reports
that the two Garcias and four other own
ers of the Santa Rosa claim in Peralta
canon have genuine bonanza. They will
soon begin shipping.
0. Yates, in charge of the Lincoln
Lucky property, writes Mr.. Weber that
a disastrous CAVERN occurred on Monday
in the Anaconda workings. If not retim-
bered at once this break will become dan
gerous and may necessitate sinking new
shaft. Misfortune seems to be striking
close to the Lincoln Lucky property.
An explosion occurred at the White
Ash mine at Madrid on Monday, and two
miners named johnson and Murphy were
frightfully burned. The chamber in
which they were working became filled
with gas during the night, and when they
entered it the next morning the explo-
sion occurred. Their chances of recovery
are slight. Both men have families.
Mr.. J.P P. Connor, of Kansas City, the
lucky owner of some choice placer
ground on the Chama river, is in the city
to-day in company with Mr.. w. j.
Brewster, also of Kansas City. They are
going to the Chama on a prospecting
trip. Mr.. Conner controls the patent for
a remarkable pump and one of these will
likely be put in to operate the Chama
