Cochita district in New Mexico arc en-
thusiastic over it. The ore isred rock
and porphyry, which assays we'll
The Bright Diamond, one of the
leading gold mines of the Ouray dis
trict, will start up again soon. Tho
mine can ship 200 tons per day.
The Allegheny mine near Telluride
has d streak Of ore which runs over 10
ounces in gold to the ton. II is 80
inches wide and was supposed to be
worthless.
First payment has been made in the
sale Of the Grand View, near Ouray,
and development work will commence
at once A large mill will be erected
to treat the ore.
Farncomuv Ill; about five miles east
of Breckenridge, is still in the lcau - -
producer of the yellow metal. The
main producers are the Victoria and

On the Carson river, Nevada,
steam dredge has been placed to dredge
the bottom of the river for the ANAL

Between IS and 100 men arc at work
on the Colorado river placers. With

feet from the original workings. The
rock is literally plastered with gold
