There Still Talking of COchiti's
Great Prospects.
The New Road and Telephone Line
Taos County's Gold Excite
ment-Pick-up from the
Mines.

Mr., j. W. Akers returned from Cochltl
last night. He says his confidence in the
camp has greatly increased, and he ex-
poets to witness great things out there in
short time. The permanent value of
the mineral discoveries is being proved
up daily.
sThe new short road from Santa Fe to
Allerton now under construction" said
Mr.. Akers, sis fine one. About 100 men
are at work on the road, and expect it
will be finished by the last of next week.
1t will be great help to business in San
ia Fe.
"There are a great many people going
in with pack horses and burros. l don't
know where they all go too, as they are
scattered over an area of twenty-five or
thirty miles. This is good thing, how
ever, as it will cause the whole country to
be thoroughly prospected. l saw some
ore from new mine, the location of
which I do not know, that looked very
| fine.
''The ferry is working excellently. 1t is
carrying big four horse teams, hauling
heavy iron pipe for the new water system,
and this is sufficient test to prove that it
will carry heavy ore teams all right.
Telephone poles are being put up fast
between Cerrillos and Allerton, and the
wires will be strung in few days. Work
is progressing very rapidly on the Aller-
ton water system, and that will also be
finished shortly.
''There must be close to 1000 people
scattered over the district. One thing is
very sure, they are going in much faster
than ever before. l really can not see
how the camp can now prove failure
AN GOLD sTAaERs" OPINION.
Mr.. Patterson, the stageman, left on his
return to Cochit this morning carrying a
load of passengers and also taking with
him blank books, stationery, etc, for Mr..
WI. Eaton, who has just been chosen
recorder of the Cochiti district. Mr.. Pat
terson says:
81 have not yet met a man who has
seen the camp who has not expressed
confidence in it and who does not think
it will turn out to be a big and perma-
nent one.
"The ferry is running all right. The
river is too high to ford. At Allertor
new buildings are going up constantly.
"The Washington mine has hauled out
another carload of ore and it will soon b'
shipped. There are new discoveries be
ing made every day, and l have more con
fdence than ever in the camp"
"GoT MOUNTAIN OF IT."
George Metz, the nomadic boot black
walked in from Allerton yesterday. Ar
irving here at O'Clock last night Georg
= called on some friends whom he knew t.

he laid before them samples OF as rlc

MUST HAVE IT.
, Santa Fe business men should by a
means take firmer hold of the subject
securing telephone connection with tt
Cochiti mining district. Outside of tt
