An outline of the policy to be followed

Result of the Ballot,

Speaker Mason announced that Mar
Gus A. Hanna, having received a ma
jority of the votes of the house, was the
choice of that body for the short term
The cheering outside the halls for Mr.
Hanna was re-echoed in the ears of the
members as the result was announced
The ballot for the long term resulted in
the same manner, It's announcement
being greeted with another long and
loud demonstration. On both the bal
lots Representative Cramer was absent,
and there were thus only 1O8 votes cast,
as follows: Hanna, S.; McKisson, 40;
Wiley, /; Warner /; Lentzal. 1: absent,
1;
AT 1915 the house adjourned and the
hall was used for jOllification meeting
with the crowd singing: ''Praise God.
from whom all blessings flow"
In the Senate.
The senate gallery was crowded to it's
limit when, at II o'clock, the first move
in the great senatorial contest was
made.
Senator Sullivan nominated Mr.. Han
ma. During his address perfect quiet
prevailed. Senator Burke nominated
Mayor McKisson. Mr. Burke was the
only Republican who did not vote for
Mr.. Hanna. The vote resulted. McKis-
son 10; Hanna, II.
With II in the senate and So in the
house, Mr.. Hanna has just the requisite
number of votes for election with all
present, but in the absence of Repre-
sentative Cramer. Democrat, Mr.. Hanna
has one to spare.
When the vote from the house was
announced in the senate Republican
senators stood on chairs and shouted
themselves hoarse with calls for Hanna
and victory. No changes of votes are
expected tomorrow.
Mayor McKisson's Denial.
Mayor McKisson denies that he
pledged himself last night to free silver
or to stand on the Chicago platform
when called into the Democratic caucus.
The Democrats state that Mayor Nc
Kiss0n said he was bimetallist and OPP
posed to the policy Of Secretary Gage,
but would not stand for the free and I'M
limited coinage Of silver.
Opposition surrenders.
The opposition to Mr.. Hanna has
given up all hope Of having any changes
tomorrow on the joint ballot. Mr..
Hanna received an ovation this after
noon, and for an hour shook hands and
istened to exultant congratulations.

BIG C0CHITI MINES
Interesting Details Of Deal Whereby
Posey Syndicate Takes the
Crown Point Group.
PAID FROM GRASS ROOTS
Contract Let for Sinking of a Deep Two
Compartment Shaft on the Nam
moth Albemarle Ledge
Road Completed.

The New MEXICAN announced Oh las
Tuesday that the Crown Point group o
mines in the Cochit district had beel
bonded to the o. p. Posey syndicate
| The last number of the Bland HeralC
gives the following interesting detail
concerning this important deal:
1t is definitely settled that the Grown
Point group of mines has been takeI
under lease and bond by the Cochit
Gold Mining company, of which O. p
Posey is the principal figure, for IL tern
of six months, during which $4,000 is
to be expended in development. This is
practically IL sale of this valuable prop
erty for an amount exceeding 100000.
The group consists of the Crown Point,
Giant and Bull of the Woods, three Of
the very best properties in the Cochiti
mining district, and situated above
Bland in Pine canon.
The Crown Point, which is the princi-
pal mine of the group in point of de-
velopment is about mile from Bland
and first made shipment on March 80,
1894, continuing until the total amount
OF 800 tons was shipped to smelters, the
gross value of which was about S30,624,
calculating the average value of the ore
shipped to be about S3S76 ton. The
amount Of development at present done
in shafts, drifts and tunnels on the
Crown Point is some 1,500 feet. A
hosting whim. ore bins and other build
ings have been erected and the best of
roads built to the mine.
Those holding controlling interest
in the Crown Point proper, which was
the first mine in the Cochti district to
be patented, are Charles johnson. of
MasSilon, O.; Frank Bruce. of Bland;
James ID. May, Ben Johnson and Henry
Lockhart of Albuquerque who formed
the directors of the incorporated Crown
Point Mining company.
The Giant and Bull of the Woods, the
other mines of the group, though less
developed than the Crown Point mine
are generally considered to be the most |
valuable. The Giant is about half mile |
above Bland and possesses strong vein |
of quartz some 20 feet wide at its widest |
point on a cropping for a distance of |
over 200 feet. The Bull of the Woods, |
rom which wonders are expected by all
% be the outcome, is situated in the very !
leart of Bland, and outcroppings of the +
'cin, which rises to considerable height
lbove the surface, show width of as
much as so feet for some distance These
igures may seem to be greatly eXagger-
tied, but nevertheless there stands the
luartz visible to all who would verify the
accounts of this article. 1t is hardly
that the value throughout this
xtent of quartz is higher than a very
ow grade, but the existence Of pay
freaks of good size have been discovered,
nd whatever its precise value may be,
here is no doubt that the Crown Point,
liant and Bull of the Woods form a
roup of what will yet prove to be the
reatest bonanza in the Rocky mountain
ngion.
