THE LONE STARS OWNER
Mr.. ThOs. LOwthian Talks of the Pro-
gress That is Making in Co.
chit District.

Mr.. Thomas Lowthian, the we'll known
owner of the Lone Star mine and others
at Cochti, is at the Palace. Mr.. Lowthian
was interviewed by reporter for the New
MEXICAN this morning. He said: 81 have
a more favorable opinion than ever of the
district. I believe it to be a country of
wonderful possibilities. If we are not
disturbed we can make camp the like
of which was never before seen in New
Mexico. The only disturbing element is
the grant cloud which hangs over us like
pail.
GOOD MEN IN CAMP.
81 have been in mining camps for the
past thirty five years and I can truthfully
say that have never met better class OF
men in any camp. They have seemingly
come to work and they are working
They are going along slowly but the work
they are doing is telling.
"They are building a good road from
Allerton to Eagle and have it finished
within two and half miles of Eagle
When this road is finished we will have no
trouble getting our ore out to the rail
road.
"The veins are showing up better than
ever. The Lone Star has two or three
carloads of ore on the dump, and will
commence shipping in few weeks. The
mine continues to show good indications
The Crown Point is richer than ever
They are packing ore out for shipment.
ANOTHER BIG Strike.
"Some good ore running 5000 in gold to
the ton has been struck in the ALDER
marie. I don't know the extent of it, but
it can not be very small body. have
no fear of the ore bodies pinching, as has
been claimed by very few; of course, l
don't think that all the ore is extremely
rich, but it is of sufficient value to make
rich camp.
TOWNS GROWING.
GAIL the different towns are growing.
Eagle is forging ahead rapidly, as is also
Allerton. Agreat many people are remain
ing away from the district on account of
the question of title, but when that is
definitely settled there will be rush that
will soon make large and substantial
towns. We have the ore and every other
requisite necessary to make great min
ing district and now we want every pos
sible cloud to be removed from titles only
to bring out and produce world beateI
"a mineral wonder"
