AMONG THE MINES.
More News from the COchiti District
CerrillOs' Hustle-The EmbudO
PrOperty-Mining Notes.

Mr.. John Patterson, who is running a
tri- weekly stage to Cochiti, brought some
interesting news from the new district
upon his return from the camp last
night. He says that the Crown Point
mine is running large burro train from
the mine, distance of three and half
miles, where the ore is put in wagons
and then transferred to the railroad. One
car of ore has already been shipped and
another will shortly be ready to ship.
They are taking out the ore as fast they
can with twenty men at work.
ALL TIE LOTS SOLD.
The townsite company at Allerton sent
in by Mr.. Patterson for surveyor to
survey more lots. There was originally
laid off l60 lots, but only one was left for
disposal yesterday morning. The lots
sold at first for $40 piece, but the price
for $25. Many of the lots have changed
hands several times. The boom has
proven even more than was anticipated
by the promoters of Allerton.
Mr.. Patterson will take with him to
the camp to-day W. H. Hiscock, of La
Junta; c. s. Kelly, of Rico, Colo, and
surveyor.
PEOPLE RUSHING IN.
The town of Allerton now has popu-
lation of $50. One grocery store has
been started in large tent. A man
named Armstrong has started an eating
house in a tent 1920 feet and another
man named Myers from San Pedro is
building log cabin which he will use as
a hotel and which he expects to open in
two or three days. saloon has been
started in a stockade by an Italian from
Albuquerque.
SPRING DISCOVERED.
One of the most important discoveries
in the new camp Yves that of spring of
pure, clear water by Mr.. Armstrong, who
struck it about one mile above the town
at depth of four feet. The TOWNSHIP
company Immediately made him an offer
for the spring but he refused to sell. He
can readily obtain good price for all the
water which gushes out of the spring, but
30 far has chosen to let who will take the
water free. A good many have been
prospecting for water but Mr.. Armstrong
was the first to strike it.
ROADS LINED WITH PEOPLE.
Mr.. Patterson made one statement from
which an estimate of the number of peo-
pie going into the camp daily can be
made. He said he counted twenty-five
men going to the camp on the road be-
tween Cochiti and Allerton, this ia in ad-
dition to the number being hauled in by
the different stage lines.
The excitement does not abate, but on
the contrary is in creasing daily.
THE TELEPHONE AND FERRY.
Hon. Lorion Miller returned yesterday
from Cerrillos, where he and Col. T. F
Moore were called in connection with
their Cochiti telephone and ferry COM
panies. They purchased there one-inch
steel cable and the necessary blocks,
crab, etc, for the ferry over the Rio
Grande, two miles north of Cochltl .pueD-
10, and this was hauled to the river yester-
day. They also increased their order for
telephone poles to 1900; set men at work
digging the holes for the line bowen
Cerrillos and Cochiti; secured franchise
to operate their telephone line in the
town of Cerrillos, and sold $500 worth of
telephone stock in that live town.
Cerrillos people have made excellent
progress in building their new road to
| o,,l r. hov
pleted to the crossing of the Santa Fe
road, near the river, by tomorrow.
Mr.. Miller is much gratifed with the
business-like manner in which Cerrillos
people are cooperating with the tele-
phone and ferry companies to prom ote
closer business relations with the Cochiti
district. The telephone stock is looked
upon by business men as a stable invest
ment, promising profitable returns, and
the remainder of the stock, $1,000 worth, it
is thought will be readily disposed of to
business men in this city and Albuquer-
que.
