GOLD EVERYWHERE.

A Gordon Of Rich Camps Surrounding
the Capital City-MOre New
Discoveries.
Gold to the north of US, gold to the
south of US, gold to the east of US, gold
to the west-Santa Fe is surrounded by q
Gordon of rich gold camps and still they
come.
NOW ITS GLoRIETA.
Yesterday Mr.. DBL. Williams brought
in samples of ore from new discovery
three miles east of Glorieta. It comes
from g surface cropping vein three feet
in width and runs high in gold and cop
per. "A number of Santa Fe men who are
capable of forming an opinion say 1t is
the best looking sample yet seen coming
from the Santa Fe range. A number of
citizens have become interested and have
secured blanks for fling claims.
4a At DOLORES
the placer mines are doing better than
ever before. A new district has heen
opened up on top of the mesa, and ten
foot holes are yielding rich returns. Last
weeks work resulted in the sale of $3.50
worth Of gold dust from this camp, some
of the stuff being nuggets worth S..
About 200 men are in camp working most
ly with dry washer tanning machines.
Three men cleaned up 1856 worth of mug
gets last week. Col. Moore says that on
Tuesday he saw three other men with SIS
worth of dust that was taken out of a ten
foot hole in four hours. Col. Moore says
sixty miners are at work on one spot not
larger than an acre in extent.
AT oooH1T1.
| The excitement over this camp, within
half days drive of the capital city, con-
tinues undated. Thos. Lowthian, the
Denver mining man who has twenty-eight
claims stsked, has evidently received
highly satisfactory assfy returns from
Burlingame, for he has just sent eight
more Colorado miners into camp to work
on his locations and with them came sew
eral wagon loads of supplies. Some 6Ot
sacks of ore are now on the way to Den
yer and Pueblo from Wallace and will b.
used in making mill run test.
CerriIlos, where fuel and fuxing il
abundant, will probably soon have
smelter for treating these Cochiti ores.
n. IN SAN 1LDEFoNso CANON,
thirty miles directly west of Santa Fe
the new placer discoveries have beel
christened "the Phantom Placers.' TIL
narrow gauge railroad employees are will
/, over the future of this camp. Over fit,
claims have been staked. Conducto
Jim Curry, of Espanola, came out of tn
canon last night bringing $50 pounds o
gold bearing sand which he and Charli
, Scheurich and others took to Antonit
to-day to be sampled by Clear Greek
Colo, device that, it is claimed, will say
80 per cent of the gold. They have con
Y tracted for machine, conditional upol
it saving the gold. A score of Santa F
r. people are interested in this camp, an
as the gold is coarse and water plentiful
they expect the ordinary sluicing process
to serve in working the claims for a BIZ
/. profit.
. AT COPPER HILLS,
near Embudo station, big gang Of mel
is putting in the new lodging houses, as
say office, etc. Over $50 men will be pu
to work there inside the coming tw'
> weeks. This is what the Denver New
prints about it:
president E. T. Jeffrey talked freel
; yesterday concerning the mining opera
tions in which Messrs. Moffat, Mears an,
himself are interested in northern New
Mexico. He stated that the propertie
purchased in Taos county are on the lin
of the Espanola branch of the Rio Grand,
and the indications are remarkably fin,
for large output of copper and silve
ore. "A carload of high grade ore wal
shipped to Denver last week. said he
; 'and another carload will be sent to thu
, smelters this week. The project is merely
in its infancy. If it turns out we'll tn,
, mines will be operated with full
force, all the ore being sent to the smelt
: ers in this state. The prospects of cop
, per ores, especially when found in con
nection with silver, are brighter at tn
, present time than for years. We are il
hopes that the mines will bring bushes
to the Espanola branch of the Denver

strong evidence of mineral

The reports state that the ore runs go

turns in gold have been received from th
samples of Black sand and garnets whic
he carried there recently.
