Puerto Mining Excitement Abatins

Considerable excitement and talk
prevailed on the streets among
some OF the later arrivals IN this
city last week, IN regard To rich
gold discoveries near Puerto, The
comment was caused by ". r..
Anderson, the president OF the
Trinidad | Business College, OF
Trinidad. Colorado, who hled
twenty tour mining claims with the
probate clerk OF this county. An
derspn was on a vacation at Puer.
to when he staked oil his claims
near there aud came to this city to
have them recorded.
Some who have not been in the
clty so long and who did the most
ol the talking seemed to believe AT
FIRST that somebody was going TO
to get rich quick, The older in
habltants paid little attention to
the talk, and as they shook their
heads in doubt II was perhaps
with vague remembrances OF a pre-
vious excitement IN the same loca-
tion when many OF them drove
through the wind and cold 10 the
camp only to ind the earth sprin-
killed. with paritise OF iron. This
metal Is very decelving in its ap.
pearance and those who were IN
the heat OF the excitement six years
ago now prefer 10 wait until the
substance is proven TO be gold and
not iron.
