and In The Coehltis.
From Bland Herald.
Charles Paxton continues working the
Ellen L. with good results.
Among the Cola canyon properties Of
excellent prospects coming In for a full
share Of work is the Julia, belonging to
Messrs. t%lausen, Williams aud Fischer.
George Ostrander was over during the
week from Peralta canyon, where he and
a large number Of other persistent min
ers are gradually developing a future
great camp.
Under the present development being
prosecuted by Alex. Conrad, the Aunt
Betsy, which is on the southern end Of
the Albemarle lode, continues to hold its
regular valuable appearance.
Word has been received by the Herald
that a number Of mining experts will
soon arrive from Denver to investigate
certain big properties In this district for
eastern capital. Some more big deals
will result from this visit and be duly
reported In these columns.
Upon authentic information the Her.
aid makes the statement that a. o o ~
the affairs OF the Union National bank Of
Denver can be got in order the perform
ance Of extensive operations and produc-
ton will begin on the Iron King mine,
and the day be fastened when the big
dfty.tOn mill at Allerton Is completed
and in running order.
All the available miners in camp being
employed at the Albemarle and other
large working mines In the district has
greatly reduced the amount Of develop
ment which has heretofore been the rule
on many Of the smaller and less develop
ed properties, which, however, need only
the proper development to make many Of
them just ~ great mines AZ the best In
The COchiti district.
Work at the Albemarle continues with
increasing improvement, the sixty foot
additional depth to the main shaft, being
now some thirty-iye feet below the orig
lnal l15 foot level, and the upraise IL rap
idly nearing the point where the Abe
marie will possess a large timbered two
compartment working shaft. Excaya.
ton for the l25 ton steel mill site Is being
pushed a. rapidly as a large gang OF men
can carry on the work. and the several
buildings are ascending under the work
Of hammer and saw.
An unexpected delay OF the part Of the
manufacturers OF certain material need
cd at the Bland mill has interfered with
the starting Of that complete plant for
ore treatment at the time already men
toned In the Herald. 1t may be- one or
IL may be- two weeks before the mill be-
gins operations, but It's success is assured
by its completeness, and the care with
which 1t has been constructed under the
management Of ". B. Mcpherson. who
has made thorough tests in every part
and knows perfectly we'll what he is
about.
Thomas +. Abbott, one OF the fortunate
owners, has been steadily working the
Little MOllie mine for some days past and
IL producing a fine grade Of ore. which
he made arrangements with X. Y. Ander.
dersoD. the ore buyer for the Mary Min
ing and Smelling company, while the
latter gentleman was recently in camp,
TO ship TO the smelter at Cerrillos. II is
understood that Andy Horne will receive
the contract for the hauling Of this ore
through from Bland TO Cerrillos entirely
by wagon. The ore mentioned is from
the drifts in the lower tunnel of the Lit
Gle Mollie and is much improved In value
over the ore that was first encountered
Ia the cros'cut. Assay returns on some
OF this ore received on Wednesday show
SIS gold, 29S ounces silver to the ton.
