COCHITI'S PROGRESS.
The Great Camp as Seen by Santa
Fean-M Mining News Notes.

Mr.. H. B. Cartwright has just returned
from Bland where he has been looking
into his extensive mining interests in the
Cechiti region. He returns very enthusi-
astic over the outlook, not only as to his
personal interests but also as to the gen
eral welfare of the camp. He says that
one thing that impressed him in connec-
ton with the camp was the fact that
everybody over there is busy. 1t is a
mining section in which there is SO much
work and SO much encouragement that
all are engaged in their pursuits with
energy and determination to obtain a
portion of the vast wealth locked up in
the earth. He says the Crown Point has
twenty men at work and is busy shipping
out ore. The Union has fifteen men and
the Iron King has the same number. The
owners of the latter mine are construct
ing pipe line
TO CARRY WATER
from the mouth of the Cochiti canon to
their stamp mill at Allerton. This line
will be about two miles long. 1t now
lacks only few hundred feet of compile
ton owing to the fact that pipe has not
been received. AS soon as this is OBJ
tanned, which will be in few days, work
at the stamp mill will be resumed and the
large amount of ore gotten out of the
Iron King will be treated at Alerton for
shipment. Mr.. Cartwright talks very in
terestingly of the big tunnel being con-
structed through Gold Hill at Bland.
This tunnel measures seven feet square
and already PCS feet has been completed.
At its greatest depth the rich ore which
gives promise of such great things for
the Cochiti region is still to be found in
great abundance. This demonstrates that
the wealth of this region.
DOES NOT LIE
in the surface ore alone, but that the sup
ply extends down to depth that makes
1T practically inexhaustibe. Mr.. Cart
wright says that there are rumors of
great finds up at the Crown Point, and
these it seems certain that the quality of
the ore found is much higher than here
tofore both at the Crown Point and else
where. He says that a full corps of men
are working at the saw-mill near Bland
and that they
CAN NOT TURN OUT
enough lumber to meet the demand. |
There is great deal of building going
on at present, the tents being replaced to
q large extent by buildings in which the
winter can be comfortably spent. 1t
seems probable that new stamp mill
will be established in the near future at
Bland, one of the leading men of the
camp having recently been on to Colo
RADIO with the view of securing the equip
ment for that purpose. Mr.. Cartwright
says there is considerable interest over in
Bland at the
RECENT FIND OF oPALs
IN that vicinity. The claims of Messrs. 7.
B. Ward, Mr.. John Andrews, of Bonanza,
and H. Schumann are in particular yield
ng specimens that experts pronounce
very promising. Mr.. Cartwright brought
back with him number of very hand
erty, and he thinks that this branch of
Jochiti's wealth will bear great develop
nent and will yield very fine results. He
s of the opinion that there will not be
great amount of activity in the Cochiti
district until next spring. By that time
jhe question of title will doubtless have
been settled by the United States supreme
court. Miners will then flock in from
every portion of the country and the year
1895 will prove the most prosperous ever
experienced by a New Mexico mining
,amp.
