A Hit For Hogan
John Hogan, a Cooney Prospector, left
here a few days ago for Riverside, California.
A paper comes to hand from that city describ-
ing the miner and stating that he is the owner
of a $20,000 block there which he purchased
for $300 in 1876 when working on a ditch there.
He has paid taxes and allowed the property
to increase in value. In an interview with the
lucky investor the following is reported.
“I have just returned from the Mogollon
mountains in New Mexico. I have been prospect-
ing there for quartz mines for some time. I
found several mines varying in richness, and
made several small sales, but the Indians were
bad, Geronimo being very troublesome two
years ago. Since leaving Riverside in ’78, I
have thoroughly propected through Arizona
and New Mexico.”
“You speak about Geronimo, was he bad.”
