INDUSTRIAL LIFE.
Some Record Of Progress from the
Flourishing Gold Camps Ad-
.jacent to Santa Fe.

The Colorado press continues to talk of
the "bigness" of Cochiti. Says the Den
yer Mining Record:
"Six car LOADS of ore which were ship.
ped from the new gold camp of Cochiti
New Mexico, to the Socorro smelter gave
returns of over 800 per ton in gold
These six cars were shipped from sixty
foot ledge in the Crown Point mine, and
the vein is exposed for nearly 5000 feet
There are two other veins larger and
equally as rich running parallel with this
one. The method of working these large
assures is similar to quarrying rock"
In this connection the New MEXICAN
desires to say that the Record has been
a very faithful friend to Cochiti from the
start and has always had kind words for
the camp. Mr.. Root, representing that
journal, is expected here in day or two
and will go over and give the district a
big write-up, the same to be illustrated
by good map.
RED RIVER PLACERs.
man named Goodwin from Boulder,
Colo, the inventor of placer gold saw
ing device, has been at work on Red river,
Taos county, for ten days past, and he
writes to Supt. Helm, of the Santa Fe
Southern road, that he has succeeded in
saving 81 per cent of all the gold the sand
carries. The machine has capacity OF
twelve cubic yards per day, but 1t is
claimed it will work equally as we'll on a
larger scale. Mr.. Helm and those asso-
ciated with him are casting about for the
best method of saving this gold. They
now have an expert, Jack Reeves, on the
ground, to make full report on these Red
river properties.
AMIzETT's ACTIVITY.
Mr.. J. Josephs has just returned from
a trip to the Taos mountains. He says
the building of new houses at Amizett
and Seaton goes on regardless of Sun
days. Seaton is suburb of Amizett, and
the two places now boast of seventy-ive
stores and dwelling houses. A Denver
mining company is just finishing at Sea-
ton big three story apartment house
Mr.. Eakin, late of Frank d Eakin, Albu-
querque, has put in a big stock of gro
ceries. Probably 300 miners are in that
locality and more are coming daily
Gusdorf Bros, Deutcher Bros. and Others
well known il. Santa Fe, are doing an i'm
mense business. At night every public
house is filled with miners, and during the
day the road to Tres Piedras and Embu-
do shows many six mule teams engaged
in hauling out ore and returning with
merchandise.
oHAMA RIVER PLACER5.
The Chama river placers, from all re-
ports, are proving immensely rich when
worked with the proper machinery. Mr.
A. James Cockburn, who owns the Hank
Easton claim of 26O acres and also has
other interests in that region, left this
city yesterday for Denver, where he goes
to contract for placing on the Chama
SAC, 1000 plant of the Bennett patent. Mr.
Joyce, his associate in this enterprise
met Mr.. Cockburn at Espanola and they
proceeded together to Denver. The new
plant will be located some four miles be-
low Hunter, where the Bucyrus machine
is now in operation. They expect to
have the new Bennett mill running inside
of sixty days.
