HUMMING COCHITI.
Col. w. A. Root Talks of the District
and Its PrOmise-A COnserya-
tive Statement by Prac-
teal Man.

dent of the Denver DAILY Mining Record,
returned yesterday from weeks ex-
plotting over the mountains and in the
canons of the Cochiti mining district.
While there he visited the mines and
prospects in Cola, Pine and Medic Dia
canons. He thus expresses HIMSELF sit
is wonderful district, that Cochiti, and
some day, undoubtedly, there will be
thousands of tons of ore shipped weekly
from there. Development has not pro-
crossed sufficiently to warrant too broad
assertions to be made as to the future,
but if good Judgment prevails capital is
sure to become interested, and that is
what will accomplish the desired end.
Several shipments of ore have been made
from the Crown Point and Lone Star and
these have given satisfactory returns, but
, it must be remembered that this was as
sorted ore and is rather expensive, so that
the actual profit cannot be determined
by anyone not directly interested. TAX
ing it for granted that the ore bodies in
|
Point are mineralized to the extent
claimed, then there is no reason why
millions of tons of equally as good ore
should not be mined or quarried out OF
the belt extending from Pine canon
southwark through Cola, Peralta and La
lara canons. While il is true that much
prospecting is going on in Medic Dia
canon and still further northward and the
prospectors come into Eagle City much
encouraged and showing fine looking
rock, extensive finds are not looked for
to such an extent in that direction as to
the south of Eagle, although depth might
produce equally as high grade ore.
"Eagle City is taking on quite boom.
New buildings are going up daily and
town lots are in good demand. Daily ar
rivals are on the increase and one has to
retire early in order to got bed. While
mining camps generally build and hold
permanency close to the mines, it must
be borne in mind that in all the canons
good and rich properties are going to be
discovered and developed and any one
with mind unbiased can see that some
where in a properly chosen spot below
the mouths of these canons there will
grow up oAUy VI aolo V'oh oh"'h~AJ
proportions.
"That h. W. Woodbury., president of
the Union National bank of Denver, has
become interested with Mr.. Bailey in his
milling proposition will add much to the
future of Allerton and the district in gen.
eral, 80 far as Colorado capital is con-
cerned, for Mr.. Woodbury. has much ex-
perience in mining, and, while conserva-
tive in investing, has been quite success
full"
| Mr.. Root 80 far expressed himself to
the New MEXICAN representative and while
he is chock full of information he pre-
fers to more widely relate the knowledge
gained Of the Cochiti district through the
columns of the Denver Daily Mining Rec
ord which he represents. He left again
for the district to-day to look after
several claims in Cola canon on which
he has taken an option in behalf of him
self and his brother, President Root, OF
the Denver Mining Exchange.
