NEW DISCOVERIES.
The COchiti Mineral Belt Located

Echoes from the Hills.

Echoes from the Hills.
The question whether or not the great
mineralized dykes comprising the Cochiti
district extend north of Cochiti canon has
been solved. Half dozen different par
ties have been wading through the snow
over there during the past two or three
weeks and have discovered enough to
make that region an attractive prospect
ing field for the coming summer. Lying
northwest of Santa Fe from twenty to
thirty miles, and between Cochiti and Es-
pamela, some immense ore bodies have
been found. Mr.. James Kernahan has
located number of claims beyond the
head of Santa Clara canon, twenty miles
north of Cochiti canon. The Rogers
party, of Colorado, P. j. Barber, of this
city, and others have also discovered fine
ore in the new territory and the ore is
identical in character with that in the
main Cochiti district as shown in the
Lone Star and other mines. This is bit
of particularly good news for Santa
Feans, as it serves to bring the heart of
all these new discoveries much nearer this
city.
"A CONSERVATIVE MANS VIEW.
Mr.. W. Il. Bunce, we'll known mining
man of Ouray, Colo, who has been doing
Cochiti, left last night on his return to
Allerton. He spent ten days examining
the resources of the district.
Mr.. Bunce said II do not think de-
velopment work has gone far enough to
justify any conclusions or to form ba-
sis for any definite valuation. The indi-
cations are very favorable, and indeed I
might say very fine.
IT think the Lone Star mine has the
best indications of any in the district
although the Crown Point is taking out
some fine ore.
81 have never seen any ore like that at
Cochiti; believe it is tellurium.
81 am very much impressed with the
camp as it is the best new one that was
ever in."
