mining property. and reports work steady
over there.
Major Tyrell and ". X. Myers are de-.
yeloping the Bell b., a good property neal
the Crown Point mine, and are meeting
with satisfactory results.
Assessment work and mine develop
ment is underway throughout the Cochiti
district and indicates that the owners in
tend to hold on to their claims and will
be Ia a position to furnish the big Gus.
tom mill with ore when that affair il
ready for It.
Charles Pilkoy Ia now prosecuting
some extensive development work on the
Corina, which is one Of the finest claims
in the district, possessing a strong, we'll.
mineralizsd vein aud will become one OF
the mines OF the Cochid district with de.
yelOpment.
A contract will be LET tomorrow by the
Lone Star for In % foot upraise from the
drst to the second levels Of that mine. A
day and night shift ARE steadily at work
producing some very rich ore. which is
being transported to the Bland mill Tor
treatment.
One half Of the capacity OF the COchiti
Gold Mining company's big cyanide plant
Is now steadily running on Albemarle
ore and excellent headway IL being made
in the closing construction OF the other
half. The mine work is progressing we'll
under full day aud night forces and a
large production OF ore Is reported.
Two adverse claims have been filed In
the land ofic, by George A Blake, Fan
ME Hostetter, G. NJ. Bower, W. g Hope,
William Sa%nguinette and Joseph Barnett,
claimants OF the Albuquerque mining
claim, against Charles II. Toll and Nor

A ane large body OF rich quartz ia be.
ing opened up on the Aunt Betsy In Per-
alta canyon by Alex Conrad, who is one
OF the owners, and a force OF men. Re
ports from there are glowing about the
future richness Of the Aunt Betsy. This

more highly mineralized at the surface.
Arguments were heard in the supreme
court lately upon the Washington mine
case, Childers Il Dobson appearing for
the Washington interests and Warren Il
Ferguson for the Sampson claimants. A
decision In this case ia anxiously looked
forward 70. as u settlement means the

I. b. Ward Is doing some work at the
opal properties, belonging TO him and j.
g. Schuman, OF Santa Ne, and will re-
turn to the capital with some line speci
mems OF the gem. II Ia decided TO have
some Of the formation OF these properties
assayed, as II is believed, like the opaline
quartz of the Vulcan and Mammoth de.
pOsits OF GunnisOn county, Colorado. It
may carry similar high gold values. The
ore OF the Vulcan and Mammoth runs
over $1,000 TO the ton and is In appear
ance precisely like the formation with
the opal deposits OF the Cochiti district.
