the alleged Canada de Cochiti grant. The
grant survey was made in 1855 by Survey
or General Pullen and established as the
north boundary the old Pueblo de Co
chit, the south boundary the north
boundary of the Cochiti de Pueblo grant,
the east boundary the Rio Grande river
and the west boundary the Jemez noun
tains.
The mine owners claim that the north
boundary of the alleged grant is mile
south of where the connections with pub
lie surveys in the surveyor generals of
tee show it to have been established and
will fight it out on this contention.
The application of the Lone Star own
ers for pate Mt will be made test case
and in pursuance of this Messrs. Catron
4 Spices have been employed to appeal
the case to the commissioner of the land
office for the purpose of having a new
survey made by the government. If a
new survey is ordered it will, in all proba
biity, establish the fact that the grant
survey was made to stretch over large
area that was never granted to anyone.
The survey made by the Messrs. Brown,
which shows the north boundary of the
grant to be mile south of that claimed,
is regarded as an accurate one and will
undoubtedly prove to be correct.
The survey of the Crown Point was ap-
proved by the surveyor general and a
patent will be issued to the owners. The
south boundary of the Crown Point is
about 400 feet north of the north bound
airy of the alleged grant as shown by Pull
ems survey. This approval places not
only the Crown Point but large area of
mineral land on public domain.
ooLoRADo's INTEREST.
A Colorado mining man sends the fol-
lowing to the Denver News under date of
Cochiti eth ult:
"Here is mineral wonder. Veins of
quartz standing up forty feet out of the
solid rock and some ninety feet in dla-
meter, all carrying more or less free gold,
and thousands of tons, yes, thousands OF
acres of this ore in sight.
Like Cripple Greek, Cochiti Is a nine
teenth century wonder. Here is the nu-
cleus for a second Leadville or second
Cripple Greek, and all that is now lacking
to make it such is capital to erect stamp
mills to treat tho ore.
"There is already enough ore in sight in
the Cochiti district to employ 1000 men
for the next five years. And this is no idle
thought, but a conservative statement
made after a weeks careful inspection.
Some of this ore assays and will run into
the thousands of dollars, and there are
now enough producers in the camp to
send out three carloads of rich ore per
day. Already the Rio Grande and Santa
Fe companies have each a corps OF en-
gineers surveying preliminary lines into
the new camn. Two thousand would be a
low estimate of the number of people in
the district and dozens are arriving daily
in the new Ell Dorado. Denver capital
predominates and Colorado people COM
prise more than one-half the inhabitants.
"Three stage lines are run into the
camp from Santa Fe, Cerrillos and Wal
lace, but after trying all three would
prefer the Santa Fe route, as it is as near
as any of the three named and much
better point to outfit from. The route
from Santa Fe to Allertop, Eagle City or
Kent, the three camps of the district, is
very good with an excellent ferry across
the Rio Grande. The distance from Santt
Fe to Allerton is twenty weight miles. The
placer ground of the district has, com
paratively speaking, not been prospectet
and might prove a very profitable field

Allerton, Cochiti district, April 80
The knowing ones say that five of the big
mines will be regular shippers inside o
fifteen days.
The D. & R. G. railroad surveyors have
not yet showed up here. They are sup
posed to be in the wilderness Of rocks
somewhere south of Espanola.
A Colorado man who has been carefully
over the district says five mines now oper
can ship carload of ore each daily fo1
the next two years-that much actually ii
sight, he says.
The saw and hammer can be heari
from early morning to night.
People are coming in daily and freigh
teams are increasing.
W. W. Strong, the principal owner o
the Last Chance No. 2, is making prepa
rations to ship ore. This mine is stu
ated along the east side of the Washing
ton, and has two distinct veins; the ont
where the assessment work has been dont
shows at depth of eleven feet solid five
and q half foot vein of ore between
porphyry walls. The assay shows 81
ounces in silver and 1.75 ounces in golt
equal to $5S ton.
! The Templar, Shriner and Red Cross, or
the summit between Cola and Peraltt
canons, on which the assessment work il
now being done, are showing up immense
bodies of ore which runs well.
The Socorro Smelter company hav'
written that they will treat ore from thi
camp for Sc per ton, and further Offering
to contribute $50 for the working of thu
road from Allerton to the mines. This
road is now completed and wagons arr
hauling ore from Eagle.
