Assessment work has been completed

work on the Florence, a claim situated In
Pine canyon, and which was purchased
by Mr. Shaw a short time ago.
The assessment work just completed

A small force OF men is at work on

and John McBrierty, OF Bland, and Chss.
Harding, Of Gallup. This property has
been idle for some time and we hope,
now that work has been resumed, that II
will be continued without cessation. The
owners OF the claim have a bonanza. and
We see no reason why II should not be

STEADY development work Is going

1t is expected that operations, equal ! n

inaugurated on this group early In the
new year.
The Albemarle mill continues to turn
Out the yellow metal In churks, having
shipped another large gold brick during
the week. When the rochiti possesses
milling facilities sufficient TO treat the
ore output OF the camp, Bernalillo county

MILL NEEDED.
The one thing particularly needed IN
the Cochiti mining district at the pres
eat time Is a large custom mill, suitable
for treating the ores OF the district, and
a fortune awaits the party, or parties,
VINO will undertake the erection OF such
a plant. OF course II ia only a matter
Of time until one or more large custom
mills will be running In the district
but the FIRST one on the ground ia the one
that will reap the harvest. The success
OF such an enterprise cannot be doubted,
when II is borne In mind that the cyanide
process will successfully and cheaply
treat the ores OF the district, which Il
proved by the success attained by the
Albemarle mill, and also that the mine
owners OF the Cochiti stand ready TO bind
themselves in contract, to furnish to 4
successful custom mill, 300 tons Of ore

offered for the profitable and safe invest.
ment OF capital than that here presented,
and we ask investigation by men seeking
investment.

would no. only be a source Of great profit
T. the owners, but would be the means Of
opening up a great many mines In the
d strict that are now Idle because the ore
which they contain Is not OF sufficient
richness to bear the wagon and railroad
freight and smelter charges, but would
pay handsomely il milled In the camp.
