ON THE BOOM.
Prospectors and Capitalists Pouring
Into the COchiti District-A
New Camp with Bright
Future.

Some six weeks since, as exclusively an
nounced in the NEW MEXICAN at the time,
very rich silver deposit was opened in
the Cochiti mountains, forty miles west of
Santa Fe and about thirteen miles from
Pena Blanca. This took SCORE or more
of prospectors into thatregion, and twas
not long before number of gold proper
ties were opened, assays from which
brought rather startling results, SO that
now the fame of the new camp hasspread,
particularly throughout Colorado, and a
genuine rush to the scene is in progress.
Mr.. j. s. Sandoval, secretary of the Santa
Fe fire department., has just returned from
a visit to relatives near Cochiti, and he
says intense excitement prevails among
the populace and nearly everybody about
Pena Blanca and Cochiti, including many
Indians from the latter pueblo, are stalk
ing claims. The mountains which are cut
by the Canon del Pine, the Canon del
Medic and the Canon de Peralta are swarm
ing with prospectors, fully one-half Of
whom are from Colorado. A camp has
been started and its population is now
over 200 inhabitants who live in tents,
covered wagons, rude shacks and impro-
vised huts of the crudest sort.
From a gentleman who was at Wallace
station on Saturday the New MEXICAN
learns that fully fifty people arrived there
over the A., I. d 8. F. on that day and
left for the new camp, and new arrivals
in large numbers may be expected for
some time until the whole region is thor
oughly prospected. Probably as many
as 300 claims, some of silver and copper,
but mostly gold, have been staked off. The
principal gold mine is called tho Ley ba, land
ten tons of ore shipped from Wallace to
Denver showed on test to be worth $50
per ton.
The known mineral bearing lodges OF
the district occupy space two miles
wide and five miles long, within which
space are four we'll defined Lodges, besides
numerous spurs, and work has been done,
at this writing, in five different places, all
of which prospect we'll. The lodges are
from three to thirty feet wide and assay
from $50 to $500 per ton in gold. One
ledge nine feet across assays SIS the
whole width. The general formation ia
lporphyry and trap, with some lime on
the west side.

teachers must be employed if the best
results are to be obtained in the schools
throughout the territory, and the normal
schools must be relied upon to properly
prepare the teachers Of New Mexico for
their work.

why Take the Wabash

For ST. LOUISE
Because it is the shortest line; the best
equipped line; runs free chair cars, Buffet
Pullmans and gives you ample time in
Kansas City for supper.
For TOLEDO OR DETROIT?
Because it is the shortest line; avoids
transfer across the city in case you are
going further east, and makes close con-
nections with oil trunk lines.
For NEW YORK or BOSTON?
Because it has solid through service
from both Chicago and st. Louis, via
NIAGARA FALLS; gives forty minutes
stop at the falls at seasonable time in the
morning.
FOR ALL OTHER EASTERN POINTS!
Because its service is uniformly good
and you can make no mistake in asking
for tickets VIA THE WABASH.

official News Gossip.
JUDGE FALLS REsIGNATIoN

In the Albuquerque Citizens repeated
assertions that Hon. A. B. Fall has re-
signed as judge of the Srd judicial dis.
trict, the wish is unquestionable father
to the thought. 1t may be officially stated,
however, that Judge Fall has not resigned.
The facts in the case are that some two
months ago Judge Fall satisfied himself
that attention to his extensive law prac.
tice in the Rio Grande and Pecos valleys
and his mining interests would prove far
more remunerative to him than position
on the supreme bench, and despite the
protests of leading citizens irrespective
of party he wrote out and forwarded
his resignation to Washington. The
New MEXICAN announced this fact
at the time, the news appear
ing exclusively in these columns. But
there was an obstacle in the way of Judge
Falls retirement, this being nothing more
nor less than the positive refusal of the de-
partment of Justice to accept it. The
attorney general wrote Judge Fall in per-
son most complimentary letter and
framed in such language that Judge
Fall could not, without feeling that he
was proving recreant to his constituents,
the Democratic party and the admins
tration, insist upon the acceptance of his
resignation. Hence, Immediately upon
receipt of the attorney generals letter,
Judge Fall withdrew his resignation. This
is the whole case In nutshell.
THE U. 8. INDIAN SCHOOL.
Mr.. H. B. Pairs, for seven years assist
ant superintendent of the U. s. Indian
school, Haskell institute, at Lawrence,
Kas., writes Col. Thomas M. Jones, spec
ial agent in charge of the U. s. Indian
school here, that he has been appointed
of the school at Santa Fe
This letter was of date the 1st. To-day,
however, under date of Washington City,
Feb. 3, Col. Jones received dispatch
from Gen. Armstrong, assistant commits
sioner of Indian affairs, stating that it
had been decided not to appoint super
intendent for this school, but that Col.
Jones would remain in control at least
until Jure 80, the end of the fiscal year.
Mr. Pairs is spoken of as very COM
petent man, but the arrangement to re-
tain Col. Jones in charge is far more
to Santa Feans than to have
a comparative stranger in control. Col.
Jones is familiar with the immediate
needs of the school, and his retention
here will nquestionably prove of value
to the service. The New MEXICAN con-
graduates all concerned.
PROMPT RETURN OF TAX COLLECTIONS.
Sheriff Cunningham, ex-officio collector
of taxes for Santa Fe county, balanced his
books and paid over all his collections for
the month of January, 1894, to the proper
authorities on Saturday. His report of
taxes collected for the month is as fol-
lows:

Grand Canon Of Colorado River.
On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1852 miles from Kansas City, ia
the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
a mile in depth, this is the sublimest OF

and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook.

A Good Business move.

The A., T. & s. F. freight rate on sheep
from Las Vegas to Missouri river points
has been reduced to SOS and to Chicago
$s5, making that point a competing point
with Clayton on sheep. sAs result Chas
Ilfeld yesterday commenced the shipment
of 81 900 head to Chicago, which, had not
the rate been reduced, would have been
shipped from Clayton, on the Denver &
Fort Worth road. This rate will no doubt
add many thousands of head of sheep to
the traffic of the Santa Fe this year. A
similar concession should be granted
cattle shippers.
