STATES CLAIM INVALID.
Cannot Hold Lands Where Mineral Was
Discovered Prior to Selection.


An important case disposed of mt the
adjourned session of the District
Court mt Buena Vista was that of Jos
eph hewitt VS.. the State Board of Land
Commissioners. Judge Bailey gave
Judgment for the plaintiff.
1t was shown that the ground in con-
troversy was known as mineral land
rs early as 1871 and that in 1873 it was
located as such and has been contnu-
ouSly worked since then.
In 1855 II receivers receipt was is
sued to Joseph hewitt, but the govern
ment refused to issue the patent for the
reason that in 1877 the state of Colorado
under the enabling act, selected the
particular land in question for peniten-
tiary purposes. hewitt brought suit to
set aside the selection, referring to the
section in the enabling act which re-
serves mineral lands from the grant.
The decision settles very important
question to miners as 1t is now estab-
lished that in all cases where mineral
lands have been discovered prior to the
states selection the miners right is
sustained.
The ore shipped from Newitt's mine
since its location will aggregate $780,
600 in value and the owner has eX-
pended about 100000 in improving the
property. 1t is situated in the Trout
Creek district. Chaffee county. near the
town of hewitt. The states claim to
the mineral lands there has held back
the camps development.

GOLD IN A BRICK YARD.

Another Sensational Find in the Cripple
Creek District
The clay in brick yard near Gillett
was found the other day to contain con-

scene of the find and the air is full of
rumors regarding the discovery. May

think they have determined the trend
of the vein. but everything is badly
broken up and in reality whilst appa-
rently in mineral, it is question
whether there is n regular vein.
1t was learned that the work is be-
ing done on company account and not
by lessees. No mill run has been made,
but assays have been made showing
as high as S212 to the ton. An ore
plat has been erected. This is full and
the ore is being piled up at the road
side. There is probably six or seven
tons of rock saved for shipment. The
characterization of the ore would be
hard to determine. The bulk of 1t is n
decompOsed porphyry. Some granite is
discernible and what appears to be a
phonolte is now coming in. The
whole mass is cemented together with
wet yellow clay. Some black sub
stance, thought to be manganese, was
also seen.
1T was stated that trenchng will be
continued and, mt the same time, pros

A STAMPEDE FROM LEADVILLE.
Find of Rich Ore Fifteen Miles South
Causes Excitement.

Causes Excitement.
! a dispatch from Leadville to the
N,ocky Mountain News on the 21st
sNd;
Great excitement was caused here
to-day by the finding of some valuable
ore on the dumps of an abandoned
claim located about fifteen miles south
from Leadville and in n locality known
as Two Bit gulch. There were no
other claims where mineral WAS
found, but the fact that this ore had
been picked from the dump was suf-
ficlent evidence to the public that there
must be more ore in sight and conse-
quently the stampede for ownership
of claims in that locality. Within four
hours after the new find had become
known there We're fully 300 people on
the road to Two Bit gulch. 1t took
them Il little over two hours to get
there, and when they arrived they ut
once began driving stakes in order to
take up property on what they hoped
would be valuable gold fields. The
dump from which the ore samples
We're taken that assayed so highly is
on claim owned by Frank Hayden,
an old rancher who lives about twelve
miles below Leadville. He operated
on this ground about eighteen years
ago. taking out n quantity of silver
ore. which was shipped. Hayden was
not looking for gold ore and it was
not until about II week ago that an
ore hauler by the name of John King
was walking past the abandoned dump,
and picking up some of the rock on
w dump. he took them to Hayden
md they had them assayed. The as
say card showed that the stuff runs
not less than thirteen ounces to the
ton and from that to forty-four ounces.
The men said nothing more about the
matter, but stalied Off II number of
Aclaims. This morning IIayden's son
Mas In town and he told of the wonder

there was n rush for that locality.
The miners who returned from there
tonight state that there Is no show
ing outside of the dump, but that the
vein can be followed for about eighty
five feet. They state that there Is
much excitement among the many
gathered there and that the people are
living in hopes of II big discovery. The
territory Is not mountainous. but II
sort of bench land. and is of granite
formation. During the afternoon about
fifty locations We're made within II
radius of five miles, and by tomorrow
picks will be flying fast in order to
prove up discovery as rich as shown

Roberts Reports a Force at the Modder
River.

hlver.
London, March 21.-Interest in the
next move of Lord Roberts was quick
ened to-day by the receipt of the fol-
lowing message from Bloemfontein,
under to-day's date:
1.-The Beers have destroyed the rail
way bridge and intrenched themselves
on the banks of the Modder, fourteen
miles north of here.
General Joubert Is reported in COM
mand."
This news came like Il thunderbolt
from a clear sky, for the meager dis
patches sent by Lord Roberts had in
dicated that there We're no Beers to
menace him in the vicinity of Bloem-
fontein, and the public had settled
down to the comfortable belief that
there would be no opposition to
Roberts advance til he reaches the
first range of mountains. about six Xty-
five miles north If the Free State
capital.
All of the dispatches from the front
indicated Il concentration Of Scr
commanders al kroonstadt, but with
JoubeIt at the Modder liN.r IL was in
stantly recognized that Roberts had
far more serious work ahead of him
than any one had anticipated.
Lord Roberts officially reported last
week that his scouts had secured the
country beyond the MOdder and had
seen no traces of Beers, but he has
been mute since saturday, and the
censor has muzzled the correspondents.
Hence it is concluded that Roberts has
already begun an advance TO meet
these changed conditions.
