has returned from five days trip
through the Cochiti mining district,
whittier he went under instructions to
gather facts, and he comes home con-
WINGED, by ocular proofs and personal
Investigations, that the district is all that
has been claimed for it by conservative
mining men.
AS to its being the richest camp on the
continent or developing into such, that is
problematical and something which the
future alone will reveal. As to its being
good camp, a rich one, possessing Won
derful possibilities and most favorable
indications there can be no doubt what
ever.
Men who have spent life time in seek
ing mines that would pay and men who
have made vast fortunes out of mining
enterprises have established themselves
in the district, expressed their unbounded
ly. This in itself should be sufficient to
satisfy the most skeptical that Cochiti
IS NOT A MYTH,
and that here almost at the very portals
of this historic city has been discovered
a mineralized region of phenomenal ex-
tent and richness already rapidly develop
ing under the influence of the BRAIN,
Drawn and money of the north,
and which is certainly destined to exert a
marked influence on the future not only
of the capital city but of all New Mexico.
THE TRIP
was made over the new short stage route
which Santa Fe citizens have had the en-
| terprise to construct, an excellent road,
which brings the new town of Allerton
within twenty-five miles of this city.
From the first hill, eleven miles out of
town, a stop was made to view the sur
rounding country. grand panorama of
scenic beauty met the eye. To the east
lay the city and valley of Santa Fe and
on each side stretched broad valleys, the
soil of which, we're it under water, would
prove as fertile aud productive of the
fruits of the earth as any land that man
can find. Never was there better spot
to impress one with the necessity of es-
tablishing storage reservoirs for the
reclamation of the arid lands than the
| top of this hill. To the west arose the
Cochiti, Vale and Jemez mountain ranges
majestically beautiful, rugged, mineral
LIKED and altogether attractive. After
ascending the hill one finds mesa
stretching out before him in westerly
direction for miles, but the road over 1t
is as good as the most enthusiastic ad-
vocate of good roads could desire. The
hill by which one descends from the mesa
is quite steep and this is really the only
bad part of the road. There is ont other
hill which is long, but of gradual ascent,
so that no Inconvenience is encountered
in ascending it.
A few miles beyond the last hill is
THE FERRY,
established by Santa Fe parties over the
Rio Grande. At this point short detour
