to Operate the Albemarle Mill
Thirty Miles Away from

J. A. Coram, of Lowell Mass, 0. P.
| Posey and number of other gentlemen
| interested in the Albemarle mine have
| just completed an investigation of the
mine.
! Mr.. Coram says the ore bodies in the
Albemarle are the most remarkable he
| has ever seen. In the fifth level the vein
| Is nearly go feet wide, and Is still wild
ening. In some places that have been
explored the vein is from so to 80 feet
wide. The ore is a clear quartz, with
the values very evenly distributed, and
it is estimated that the entire body
will average $45 in gold per ton. Work
has been commenced on the extension
of the mill, which, when completed, will
have a capacity of 10000 tons per
month.
The last issue of the Bland Herald
says:
A one-third interest in the Little Mol
lie mine, owned by Thomas Abbott, was
sold Saturday to Howard Vaughn, cash
ier of the First National Bank at Santa
Fe. Charles F. Easley, the mining ex-
pert, of Santa Fe, closed the deal The
Little Mollie is located directly south of
the Washington mine, and is known to
contain an abundance of very rich min
eral.
A. w. Tenant and HI. B. Cartwright,
Of Santa Fe, who secured an option on
the Crown Point group a couple of
months ago, have succeeded in interest
ing eastern capitalists. Satisfactory ar
rangements have been made which in
sures the erection of a fifty-ton mill in
Pine canyon this fall. The plant will be
built on the property of the Crown
Point company, and work on the struc-
ture will be started in a week or two.
The process of treatment has not been
fully decided upon as yet, and the ma.
chinery, with all modern improvements,
will be shipped from Chicago.
The new pipe. line which extends from
Allerton to the reservoir was completed
this week, and a fine stream of water is
running down to the old mill site The
Cochiti Reduction and Improvement
Company has put force of twelve men
to work re-cementing some of the weak
spots on the walls of the reservoir, and
it is expected the work will be finished
tomorrow.
A contract has been awarded to Chas.
Pilkey for the building of road from
buo hIIa
in the Cola, down the canyon to point
near the Cochiti Indian pueblo, where it
will connect with the main road to
Thornton. The building Of the new road
will cost in the neighborhood of $4,000,
and the distance from Thornton to the
Albemarle mill will be at least five miles
less than by the old route. The work of
cutting down the bluffs and the filling
in of the low places will begin to-mor-
row, and the roadway will be finished
in about month
j. A. Coram, president Of the Cochiti
Gold Mining Company, accompanied by
his son Chester, of Lowell, Mass, and
A. S. Mailman, of Chicago, registered at
the Hotel Benson Monday. In the after
noon the party drove over to the Albe-
marie, where Mr.. Coram inspected the
various departments of the plant and
mine. The president visits in this dis
trict every few months regularly, but
his presence in Bland during the week
is looked upon as being Of more than
ordinary Importance, as it is understood
that he was here for the purpose of def
nitely arranging for the new electric
power plant, which is to be installed at
Madrid, and from which electricity will
be wired to the company's milling plant
in Cola canyon, a distance of about
thirty-five miles. The company is also
erecting an addition to it's large mill,
which will, when completed, increase
the capacity to 200 tons Of ore per day.
A big force of men has been at work on
the foundation and erection of the new
