The work on the Wanderer is opening
up large and valuable body of ore or
that property, which adjoins the Grown
Point mine on the north.
Antonio Gurdono has force working
on the San Antonio in Peralta canon,
and the reports are that the property IL
rapidly improving in value.
Steady work continues on the Ellen l.
A new house and blacksmith shop has
lately been erected on the property by
Charles Paxton, one of the principal own
| ers.
| The assessment work on the Monarch
the property belonging to W. d. Mccoy,
near the mill, was recently completed and
shows the lead up in good shape.
A force Of men was put to work Wednes-
day On the Albuquerque mine, an ex-
ceedingly valuable property possessing a
strong four-foot vein of fine quartz in
Cola canon.
| The assessment work now under way
! on the Iron King is being done in the
main drift, where high class of ore was
struck when that big and valuable prop.
erty was worked by Joseph Eagle in 1875.
s. W. Young has renewed his lease and
bond on the Allerton and resumed work
on that valuable property, which lies to
the east of the Washington mine and
possesses large, strong lead of fine
quartz.
Work on the Grey Eagle continues and
is showing up that valuable property to
be future bonanza. AS depth is gained
in the present working the vein is en-
larging in size and the quartz greatly in
creasing in value.
Another lot of machinery was received
during the week at the mill, which is
gradually assuming shape to begin op-
erations as soon as Mr.. Mcfarland re-
turns from Chicago and begins operations
on the Lone Star mine, his recent pur-
chase.
The New York, in the west fork of Pine
canon and belonging to Messrs. LIE Bow,
Gutterman and Pohlman of Santa Fe,
and the heirs of the late Ed Fenster-
macher, has been prospected and will
soon come in for extensive development.
Work on the Now Year and Salisbury,
two properties belonging to T. A. Gas
tin, was begun during the week. These
properties are situated in the neighbor-
hood of the Monster and Little Mollie
and show promise of becoming valuable
with development.
Among the mining claims of Peralta
canon which are being constantly
worked and displaying great promise of
future wealth, are the Wolcott, King,
Master Irwin, Producer and Harrison No.
2, all of which are situated on the main
mineral belt at the south end of ihe dis
trict.
The Herald is informed by B. o. Pit
tenger, seoretary-treasurer of the Victor
Mining company, who is also one of the
fortunate owners of that valuable group
of mines, that himself and associates are
about to perfect arrangements whereby
the Victor and other properties of the
group will be more extensively developed
than ever before The Victor, consisting
of four claims, is one of the leading group
of mines in the Cochiti district and the
ore discovered in the last work is of q suf-
ficiently high value to pay to ship to the
smelters with road connecting the mine
with the main route of travel to the rail-
road. 1t is we'll understood that such
road will soon be built and connect with
the road to be made by the Albemarle peo-
pie. This will place the Victor in the
front rank with such properties as the
Lone Star, Washington, Grown Point, AL
bemarle and others, and be the means of
encouraging the prosecution of a great
deal of development on many adjoining
properties of established value and ex.
