Gowan and Luthy, of Albuquerque, for
$4,000. This is not bad price for pros
pect upon which even the assessment
work is not completed.
1t is estimated that $500 locations have
been made in the entire Cochiti district
and of this number Peralta has its full
share.
Messrs. Beaumont and Haviland have
about sixteen claims five miles above
Kent, some of which are promising prop
critics.
Joe Craps has eight locations, situated
on both sides of the canon and four miles
above Kent.
Messrs. Mandel, Anderson and Wilder
have twelve good prospects on the south
side of the canon, three miles above Kent.
McGowan, Case and Ost1ander have
twelve excellent prospects on the north
side of the canon. An assay from the
Beaumont gave thirty-eight ounces in
gold and six ounces in silver.
THE HIGHEST ASSAY
from Peralta canon claims was had from
the Brown Nugget. 1t gave value Of
$4,000 to the ton.
Baca Bros. have twenty locations on
both sides of the canon, some of which
show up well.
The first locations in Peralta canon
was made bya German who was called the
"Crazy Dutchman." This fellow located
J claim on the LIST day of August, last year
and continued thereafter until he had To-
Gated 100 claims. He left the district
after making his locations and has not
been back since.
All the prospectors who have visited
Peralta canon express admiration for 1t
on account of its great quantities of
timber and its fine water as we'll as its
splendid mineral showing.
Other interests of the district, Cochiti
and Cola canons, the several booming
young towns, the method of treating the
ores, the resources in the way of timber,
water, etc., will receive attention in this
series of articles to appear from time to
time in these columns during the next
few days. This plan is adopted because
/ experience teaches the New MEXICAN that
people will not read the long write-ups,
/ preferring to have short articles treating
separately the varied interests of the dis
trict.
DAILY STAGE LINES.
The establishment of regular daily
stage lines between this city and the Co
chit camps marks progressive step to-
ward cementing the trade relations between
Santa Fe and those live new towns. This
was made possible by the consolidation
of the stage lines of John Patterton and
John Jewell. Daily communication be-
tween the camps will do more than all
else to bring the trade of that district to
this city. The NEW MEXICAN learns to-
day that the Wallace stage line has been
abandoned, the one from Cerrllos, it is
reported, does not run regular. These
two facts coupled with the excellent road
between this city and Allerton ought to
bring the larger portion of the travel this
way and it no doubt will. The stage will
leave this city every morning at 8 o'clock.
Good spring wagons and excellent stock
have been purchased and the traveller will
experience no inconvenience from being
compelled to ride in lumber wagons drawn
by broken down animals. Horses will be
changed at the ferry, thus enabling the
stage to arrive at Allerton about O'Clock
in the afternoon. At 8 a. IN. daily, a
stage also leaves Allerton for Santa Fe
arriving here at p. m.
