TINE WILL DISCLOSE
That the Golden COchiti is Rich In the
Yellow STUFF That GOldbugs Adore
and SilVerites DO Not Despise.

The Lone Star is in the best ore yet
struck in that mine and is an occasional
shipper.
The Washington continues working
force of men and adding improvements
at the mine.
The Good Hope is making rapid head
way in the direction of the main lead,
which will be encountered within twenty
more feet, it is expected.
The Grown Point is shooting off large
body of ore that crops above ground to
a great height, from which several tons
will be added to its present shipments to
the Ell Paso smelter.
Information from Denver bears the in
teresting news that N. R. Darcy has
agreed with the Cochiti Mining & Milling
company upon the terms of the lease for
their mill at Allerton and will soon be
down here working ore.
This morning about 600 pounds of ore
from ten different mines in the district
we're shipped to Denver, there to be used
in some extensive experiments to be
made on Coohiti ores by those who con-
template the establishment of 5O-ton
mill on the Rio Grande. As soon as
these experiments are completed arrange
ments for the construction of the mill
will be closed and the matter brought to
an actual realization.
Under the guidance of Mr.. George
Hofheins, one of the directors of the
Bland Tunnel company, the writer had
the pleasure of seeing the most perfect
piece of tunnel work to be found any
where in the country. Work on the
Bland tunnel was begun two years ago.
At first and for nearly year operations
on this tunnel we're carried on steadily
with large force of three shifts, but the
business depression which became gen
eral throughout the country about that
taken in the development of the tunnel,
and since then little else than the work
necessary to maintain possessory rights
has been done. At present from the
heading to the breast the length of the
tunnel is somewhot over 500 feet. It ia
seven feet wide at the bottom, easily ac.
commodating double track, and is al
ready equipped with cars and single
track for working purposes. 1t passes
under the apex of Gold hill, the highest
peak in the district, when completed viii
be 1850 feet ia length, is LEO feet above
Pine creek and will terminate so fee1
above the bed of Cola canon. The great
est depth attained will be 900 feet from
, the surface. In it's course many "blinl
leads" of much richer quality than those
| exposed on the surface will be cut, il
only requiring depth to prove their great
value. Among the leads of the more
noteworthy claims and mines which viii
be cut, are those of the Black Girl, Iror
. Queen, Chicago, Last Chance No. 2, Fret
Trade, King Solomon, Wilson, Mont,
Carlo, Washington, Remnant, Lone Star
Allerton, Miser's Dream and Orphan Girl
1t will afford an easy outlet for the prod
uct of the mines of Cola and Peraltt
canons, which includes large number o.
good claims upon some of which consid
cradle development work has been done
Among the latter may be mentioned the
Albermarle, which is to-day one of thu
leading mines of the district, the Victor
Puzzle, Aunt Betsy and Pamlico, an ex
tension of the Albermarle.-Bland Herald
