Special Cor. New Mexican.
Bland, N. NJ, March 20.-All eyes here
are at present centered on the Navajo
Mining Company's big tunnel in the
Star mine, the electric tram road and
the new 350-ton mill. This gigantic en-
terprise is being pushed with all possi-
BILE speed consistent with good business
methods, and, while this policy of MAX
ing haste slowly is not to the liking Of
d .sSg croakers and backcappers; still,
the bone and sinew Of the camp, the bet
ter element, have no difficulty in seeing
in this cautious forward movement by
the Star syndicate every indication Of
substantial growth and enduring future
prosperity.
THE STAR TUNNEL.
The tunnel work is swinging along at
a lively pace, and will reach the 400-foot
mark this week. To hurry matters for
ward, the night shift has been asked by
superintendent Clark to put in four
hours overtime daily, working from p.
m. to I a. M. so that now there isn't
moment of the day or night that Is not
utilized. The required size Of the tun-
mel is 8XS feet in the clear but as mat

CERRILLOS DISTRICT.

1t will be observed that the Cerrillos
mining district is located in Santa Fe
county, nearly south of this city, and is
reached by railroad, as we'll as by good
wagon roads. 1t is quite extensive, and
remarkably varied In its mineral re-
sources. 1t embraces the famous tur-
quois mines of Tiffany and others at
Turquesa, about eighteen miles south of
this city; the promising gold, silver,
lead and zinc mines around Cerrillos,
about twelve miles further south, and
the immense anthracite and bituminous
coal measures at Madrid, mile or 80
further south and west
OLD PLACER DISTRICT.
Then come the rich and extensive au-
riferous placer deposits and mountains
of gold bearing quartz in place in the
Old Placer mining district, which en-
braces Dolores and the $1,000 acres of
richly mineralized land known as the
Ortiz mine grant. These lodges and
placer deposits have been worked for
several hundred years, and have yielded
several million dollars in gold. The Or
tiz mine grant has been sold to pow
erful syndicate, headed by Thomas
Edison, and the world-renowned IN
ventor expects soon to demonstrate the
practical utility Of what he regards as
the crowning invention of his life by
rescuing the gold from the sand, gray
ell, cement and quartz Of this grant by
means of an electrical process Of his
own, and without the aid of water. The
construction Of his experimental plant
is now we'll under way. After thorough
ly testing the appliance, the success of
which is not doubted, reduction works
of mammoth proportions will be con-
structed.
NEW PLACERS DISTRICT.
A few miles southwest of Dolores is
the extensive New Placers

least Its transportation facilities are su-
perior to those of any other city in New
Mexico or Arizona. Right here it
should be noted that it Is located on two
rival express lines reaching all parts of
the country; offers a choice between
two competing telegraph lines with all
quarters Of the globe, and is soon to be
brought into close communication with
all the principal cities and towns of
Bernalillo, San Miguel, Mora, Colfax,
Taos and Rio Arriba counties by means
of projected telephone lines. 1t is also
connected with all the tributary min
ing districts by an excellent system Of
wagon roads.
THE COCHITI.
About thirty-f1ve miles almost due
west of Santa Fe as the bird flies, in the
rugged yet not lofty mountains on the
other side of the swift-flowing Rio
Grande, is located the famous Cochiti
mining district, the great and enduring
value of whose mammoth gold and sill
yer bearing quartz lodges has been
demonstrated beyond a peradventure.
The mineral belt of this district is about
six by seven miles in extent, and is lit
orally ribbed with parallel veins of
quartz, varying in width from to 50
feet. that all carry values in the pre-
cious metals. Several of these large
lodges have already been extensively
developed and practically all Of the ore
at present being taken out yields hand
some profits at the cyanide mills on the
ground The surface showing of ore is
truly wonderful, and as development
work proceeds mining men become
more and more convinced that 1t is des-
tined to prove second Cripple Creek

ter Of fact it is nearer Sx10. A little be-
yond the 3S0-foot mark the first quartz
stringer was cut yesterday, and feet
of good ore was penetrated. 1t went
over the dump with the rest Of the
country rock superintendent Clark
will be frequently cut from this time on.
At the present rate the tunnel, to be
driven 500 feet further will form juno
tion with the deep shaft in little over
sixty days.
THE NEW SAWMILL.
In the meantime, the new sawmill will
have arrived from the east and been in
stalled in Media Dia canon, where the
lumber is to be turned out for building
the great 35O-ton milling plant. Some
preliminary work, such as clearing off
the "hogback' for the millsite, may be
commenced sooner, but 1t is not prob
able that excavation for the tramway
will begin for sixty days at least, and
until then miners and laborers in search
Of employment had best keep shy of this
camp.
THE UNION NINE.
M. J. Church, superintendent of the
Union Mining Company, has again gone
to Milwaukee on business connected
with the milling plant which this COM
pany proposes to have in operation be-
fore long. The mine Is showing up be-
yond all expectations At the head Of
Union gulch tunnel has been driven in
| 80 feet, and the pay ledge crosscut to a
! width Of IS feet. On the vein a shaft is
sinking. and is now down about 70 feet.
Nine men are at present employed. Gen.
c. F. Easley and Judge N. B. Laughlin,
of Santa Fe. are interested in this en-
terprise.

"The man who inveigbs against the
coming Of the railroad" said a long
headed citizen to-day, "overlooks the
| fact that there are dozen mines here
that are now ready to ship ore running
s14 and better to the smelters at Ger
rlllos, Ell Paso and Pueblo. From 200 to
500 more men will find employment In
this class Of mines when the railroad
comes to the relief of the camp"
William Greenfield and others took
out three-wagon freighting outfit to
Santa Fe last night to haul in car load
Of lime for use in the Star and Albe-
marie mills. If present plans are real
ized, twenty head of stock and as many
men will be regularly employed in this
industry between Santa Fe and Bland.
DR.. T. w. Grace, physician for the
Cochiti Gold Mining Company, has fin
ished a neat residence here, given 1t
coating Of Santa Fe whitewash, and
gone to Galveston to get his bride. The
fair one is daughter of the United
States quarantine officer in command at
Galveston harbor.
The Hotel Benson has been renovat-

numerous rich gold and silver bearing
lode claims in the hills around Golden
and in the neighboring Tuerto noun
tains; the great gold, silver and copper
mines around San Pedro, two miles fur
ther south, and several miles of pay
placer ground. This district unquestion-
ably holds values to the amount Of mil
lions Of dollars, and as development
work is prosecuted the showing con-
stantly improves. Two groups of cop
per mines near San Pedro, known as
Santa No. and Santa No. 2, en-
bracing sixteen patented claims, were
recently transferred to the Santa Fe
Gold and Copper Mining Company for
a consideration estimated to be equlva-
lent to $75o.oo0.
COPPER AND MICA.
Northwest and north of Santa Fe, in
Rio Arriba county, are deposits, where
large kidneys of almost pure copper
have been found on the surface, and big
bodies of good copper ore are known to
exist; the promising Headstone mining
district east of TERRA Amarilla; the
valuable mica mines west and south of
Tres Piedras, now being operated by a
strong Colorado Springs company; and
over 1000 acres of pay placer lands ex-
tending up the Chama river from Abb
Quiu, and including much of the adja-
cent mesa land, as we'll as the river bed.

 to Send Gold Abroad

New York, April 2.44-The stock market made a strong opening today on large buy ing orders which had accumulated in com mission houses oyer Sunday and in re- sponse to the continued demand for Lon- don account. The influence of Saturdays favorable bank statement was still felt, and the room traders were inclined to the bull side.
 There was a large absorption of the lead ang iron and steel stocks, which was at tributed to the operation of a pool, and the buying of Peoples Gas is said to be included in the same plan.
 Towards the close there was some buy ing of Anaconda on the part of foreigners in sympathy with the strength of copper both in London and in Paris, where the short interest is in evident distress. But notwithstanding these favorable auspices and the additional benefit of some extra ordinarily strong statements of earnings, better conditions did mot prevail the entire session.

COTTON MARKET 7
 sF WAS DEMORALIZED
Opened With Prices Lower and
 Continued Declining,
HEAVY SELLING A FEATURE
Liverpool Cables Showed Equally Sem sational Losses, and Furnished Mum erous Selling Orders, Adding
 Greatly to the Nervousness

New York, April 2.-The cotton market opened steady with prices six to ten points lower on present crop options, and one to five points lower on the new crop positions; this in response to surprisingly weak cables from Liverpool. Very heavy selling for both accounts during the progress of the call was the feature of speculation. During the first hour the market continued in a demoralized condition with selling conduct ed on an enormous scale under which prices melted away point after point until sheer decline of eleven to twenty points was re- corded.
 Liverpool cables showed equally sensa- tional losses in that market and also fur nished numerous selling orders in the local market, thereby adding greatly to the nerv- ousness of holders here. Throughout the break many contradictory rumors were in circulat ton, the purport of which was that Liverpool was being manipulated by con- tinental interests, and again by New York commission houses. The selling movement seemed to have worn itself out by midday and throughout the afternoon speculation was conducted on a normal scale.
 The swing of prices was comparatively narrow, ana m the ulrect1On or d Te-dCllOil. Bulls only made feeble attempts to recover the losses of the forenoon. Long cotton came out in a struggling way, but no fur ther efforts were made to break the mar ket The news from the belt averaged up in favor of shorts.
