"Pino canon is more fully developed
than any of the rest but Cola canon has
more claims staked.
"They have found $500 ore in Cola
canon and it will, in all probability, turn
out we'll. Sulphurites have been found
in both Pine and Cola canons. The for
nation is the same in all the canons, as
the lodges cross them all.

ia Fe, have a camp of twelve men work
ing in Cola canon. They are exceedingly
jubilant over their prospects.
IN cocH1T1 CANON.
"Cochiti canon was not prospected any
until last Thursday, when we sent party
of prospectors into it. We made the first
locations in the canon. We were fol-
lowed two days afterwards by other par
ties and the indications are now that the
place will be thoroughly prospected. The
mineral indications are very fair.
"There is more water in Cochiti than
any of the other canons, still there is
enough in Peralta to run large mill and
ones.
MINING EXPERT COMING. .,a,
''Mr. B. F. Coffman, of Tombstone, A
t., writes me that he will be here, with
the intention of going to Cochiti, some
/ time this week. Mr.. Coffmans is a noted
mining expert and his investigations will
| be of value.

firmly believe that great depth will be
obtained; in fact, this is indicated by the
location of different properties. The
Washington is located on the crest of the
N ountain between Pine and Cola canons,
at an altitude of $500 feet. The Lone
Star is located on the slope of the noun
tain toward Pine canon at an altitude of
| 1850 feet or $50 feet lower than the
Washington. The Crown Point is located
still lower, being situated across Pine
canon, on the south slope of the noun
tain, at an altitude of 1900 feet, being 200
feet lower than the Lone Star. The fact
that these properties are developing we'll
| leads me to the belief that the veins are
permanent and are of great depth.
"There are four mines in the camp it
will pay to ship ore from now, the Lone
Star, the Washington, the Grown Point
and, think, permanent.
LESS MANANA.
The New York Sun of February "a
prints letter concerning Cochiti from
Allan Kelly, the correspondent who visit
ed the camp for the NEW MEXICAN and
obtained for this paper the first reliable

The letter is replete with facts and
goes into romance and history just
enough to make it of the most entertain
ing character.
That the letter will bear good fruit is
indicated by the fact that on yesterday
the NEW MEXICAN received letters from
two New York parties, formerly of South
Dakota, announcing that they had $1,000
each to invest in a booming western town
and would start for Cochiti in thirty days,
coming by way of Santa Fe to get few
pointers as to how to invest their money
to get the biggest return. Mr.. Kelly's
letter closes thus:
apparently sleepy New Mexico, the
land of POGO TEMPO is about to be
walked up by gold mining boom of big
size. There has been less manana Ito.
