and even more SO on account of it's own
ers. Although diverting somewhat from
the matter in hand, it seems to the writer
that this is the proper place to give
description of the first locations in the
Cochiti district, as they were made by the
present owners of the Iron King, Messrs.
H. R. Darcy and J. s. Eagle.
THE EARLY DISCOVERIES.
In the fall of 1883, two prospectors
going from San Pedro to Jemez Springs
got lost in the mountains of the Cochiti
district. In their wanderings they picked
up some good looking float. They finally
found their way out and upon reaching
Jemez Springs exhibited the float. 1t
attracted the attention of Darcy and
Eagle and these two hardy miners de-
termined to investigate the matter.
Owing to the deep snow they we're com
PEELED to wait until the summer of 1889
when they started out. They prospected
the district but did not find what they
were looking for and so started home.
In March 1890 they decided to try again.
This time they were more successful for
|
1890. They failed, however, to do the as
sessment work and it was not until the
9Th day of September following that they
recorded the claim. They also located
the Crown Point Lone Star and others,
failing, however, to either do the asses
ment work or to record them, thus losing
two great claims.
The Iron King, which they are now
working, is situated west of the Lone
Star and midway between that mine and
the Crown Point. On the southern end
the owners are beginning to drift and are
getting in shape to take out ore. They
have a cross-cut which is in about twenty
feet and shaft on top which is down
fifteen feet. The highest assay they have
had from it run 81 ounces in gold and It's
ounces in silver.
The Monument, djoining the Iron King
on the east and having parallel lead
was located January l, of this year. The
ore is of the same character as the Iron
King and an assay had from it run "a
ounces in gold.
The Gray Eagle, owned by Darcy
Eagle, George Hof1in and r. Cole, is a
parrellel lead joining the Iron King on
the west. The best.assay had from it run
ounce in gold and 8 ounces in silver
