Special Correspondence New Mexican.
! Bland, Cochiti Mining District, June
25.-The machinery has about all been
firmly placed in the substantial and well
built Beckman mill just low Bland, and
the plant will be in running order by the
lst of the month. The process adopted
| by Mr.. Beckman for the treatment of
Cochiti ores, after months of patient ex-
perimenting, is not yet fully understood
by your correspondent, but it is known
that approved concentrating appliances
will be used in connection with stamps for
the reduction of the ores of the camp and
the manifest confidence of the manager
in the success of his method inspires con.
fdence in the miners. All hope for and
expect the best results to flow therefrom
and arc waiting with eager anxiety for
the trial run. The mill will start in with
ten stamps and consequent reduction
capacity of about thirty tons of ore in
twenty-four hours. The manager ex-
poets to begin on ore from the Black
Girl mine on which he has lease and
bond, but it is the intention to do general
custom work for all who deliver ore.
| Nearly all of the miners of the camp
have ore on the dumps awaiting treat
ment at this mill, and, if it proves sue
cessful, all will begin active operations
taking out mineral, and thus an ample
supply is assured to keep mill of much
greater capacity running for an indefinite
period. No one familiar with the camp
doubts that, with little more develop.
ment, 500 tons of milling ore could be
taken out in the camp daily, but there is
no encouragement to take out this
ore, the bulk of which would rot bear
costly transportation charges to distant
smelters, until conveniently located and
suitable reduction facilities are in opera
tion.

menced.
The Grown Point people continue TAX
ing out, sorting and shipping ore as
usual. A great accumulation of second
grade or milling ore IS also piled on the
dumps of this property. Manager Beok-
man is also taking good ore out of the
Black Girl, and John Hart and others are
opening up some fine bodies of mineral
in Medic Dia canon. Generally it may
be said that assessment and development
work is going on in MI parts OF the dis
trict and most hopeful feeling prevails
among miners and business men.
The fact that the preliminary survey of
the Santa Fe d Cochiti railroad has al
ready been completed from Bland to
Allerton and that there now seems no
doubt of the early construction of the
road, with electric power reduction works
at the river, causes sincere rejoicing in
mining circles. Speed the good works of
the Santa Fe & Cochiti Railroad and Rio
Grande Electric Power companies.
