VALUABLE ORE FIND
The Cochiti District Comes to the
Front Again With a Big Gold
Discovery.
A MATTER OF PURE CHANCE
The Find Was An Accidental Ons-It
Promises to Be the Greatest PROPOSE
tion In the Oochiti-A Assays
Run High.

What seems to be strike Of gold ore
of unusual Importance has been made
In the Cochiti by the Tucker brothers,
The find was made on the White Rose
claim, in Peralta canon. Assays of the
ore run up all the way to $114.s0 gold
per ton. Other assays gave $4s14 gold
per ton and $18 Of gold and 3S ounces Of
silver per ton.
AN ACCIDENTAL FIND.
j. A. Tucker was making his wav
down a small gulch which intersects
with shorter one in the Peralta, and
at the junction he noticed a small blow
out about feet high, over which he
laid his course. At the top We're few
small boulders which he supposed w.re
lying loose on the surface, but proved
to be firmly imbedded in ledge. He
broke off piece that showed good col
or. and which he thought would prob
ably assay 81 or 50 to the ton. and
dropped 1t in his pocket. Having occa-
sion to visit Albuquerque shortly after,
he stopped on his way down at Allerton
and left the specimen there for a test.
He had almost forgotten the incident
when small boy hunted him out at his
camp and informed him that the Al!er-
ton people had big assay for him. On
looking the matter up he was as'cr-
ished to learn that the ordinary appear
ing rock had run 3s ounces of silver
and SIS in gold.
OVER 500 PER TON.
After this phenomenal assay was
known to Mr.. Tucker he took different
mining men over the ground, and they
one and all pronounced the rock of por-
phyrous formation, and considered it
valueless. Then specimens
were sent to Leadville, which brought
a return certificate of $1148O.
CHARACTER OF THE ROCK.
The rock Is sugar quartz in charac-
ter. with an outlying wall of pure green
tale. Development thus far has
brought to light 10-foot face, with ev-
cry indication that 1t will widen out to
a considerable extent The general
trend of the vein is northwest and
southeast, and is unquestionably the
greatest proposition ever unearthed in
the Cochiti. There is water and timber
in abundance, and every essential to
the successful working of the mine.
That 1t is "from the grass roots down"
is conceded by all who have
paid this magnificent discovery visit.
ALMOST A FAILURE.
There had never been an assay made
from it until Mr.. fuckers experiment,
and that was almost failure because
the assayer to whom he took the speci-
men thought it worthless and came
near throwing it away. Remembering
the responsibility resting upon him. he
made the test with results that fairly
took away his breath.
A MATTER OF CHANCE.
The Tucker brothers have been pros
pectng for this lead for about three
and its final discovery was
purely a matter of chance. The out
cropping was found in a most out of
the way and unexpected place.

MOVING NORTHWARD
The British Are Swiftly Following
Up the Advantages They Gained
This Week.
ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION
A Policeman Guarding Premier Sohreiner's 8
House At Oapetown Was Shot-Gener-
al Hamilton Had a Running Fight
With the Beers.

London, May 5.-Lord Roberts report:
to the war office under date of Brand
fort, May 4: Hamilton advanced to-
day to Nealweika. He was engaged
with the enemy throughout the march
He speaks in terms of praise of the be-
havior of the troops, especially Broad.
woods brigade of cavalry and mounted
Infantry"
INTENDED FOR SCHItEINEK
Cape Town, May 5.-The South Afri-
can News says that policeman guard
ing Premier Schreiner's house has been
shot. The policeman was smoking ci-
gar at the time, upon which fact is
based the assertion that the bullet was
evidently intended for the PREMIER who
is an inveterate smoker.
LOSING NO TIME.
London, May 5.-Lord Roberts Is evil
IDENTIFY losing no time in following up
the substantial advantage gained by the
occupation of Brandfort. His whole
force is apparently moving on Winburg.
The place mentioned in Roberts dis
"Nealweika" cannot be found on the
maps. 1t Is likely that it is cable err
ror for "Nearvetkop," in which Gen.
Ian Hamilton seems to be midway be-
tween Houtnek and Winburg, and has
thus got between Winburg and General
Olivier's command from Wepener, which
is occupying Thaba Patchoa. Between
,Thaba N'Chu, Ladybrand and Winburg
the country is rough, suited for Boer
tactics, so the British are liable to be
considerably harassed before they cap
ture the stronghold. Experts differ as
to whether Roberts is bound toward
Kroonstadt or in the direction of Beth
lehem, the terminus of the line joining
with the Natal railroad at Van Rec
mans pass. The capture of that place
would probably compel the Beers to
leave the Drakensburg range, and thus
open the way for General Buffers ad-
vance. The British will have to repair
the bridge over the Welt before the rail-
road between Brandfort and Winburg
becomes available.
STILL ADVANCING.
: London, May s, 4:05 a. m.-The mount
ed infantry with Lord Roberts, among
whom are the Canadians, have picketed
their horses on the south bank of the
Vet river, eighteen miles north of
Brandfort. The head Of Lord Roberts
columns has thus advanced thirty-two
miles from Karee siding in two days, or
fifty-three miles north of Bloemfontein.
BRANDFORT OCCUPIED.
A Boer flag was flying over Brand
fort as the British entered the town.
Several British wounded were found in
the hospital. The Boer postmaster gave
up the keys of the public buildings to
Captain Ross.
SWEEPING THE COUNTRY.
Lord Kitchener arrived at Brandfort
at noon and Lord Roberts at dusk. Gen
eral French's cavalry is sweeping the
country northward. The expectation is
that the infantry advance will be con-
tinued toward Kroonstadt Immediately
Although no prisoners have been taken
and although no hot pursuit was at
tempted, the news greatly cheers Lon
don.
RELIEF OF MAFEKING.
General Hunters crossing the vaal
at Windsorton brings the relief Of Ma
feking, 1876 miles beyond almost within
calculable interval.

An ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION.
Manager ]. P. McNulty Gave No Definite
Figures of the Turquois Output.

Mr.. j. T. McNulty, the manager of
the American Turquois company, called
at the New Mexican Office today to cor
rect the statement made in the paper of
last evening with reference to his testi.
mony in the Leyba grant case before
the court of private land claims.
Mr.. McNulty states, and the record
shows, that he did not testify as to the
value or amount of any turquois taken
out by him during his management
OF the company, nor has he ever made
any statement as to the value or amount
except casually to questioners at the
mine, when he has made statements by
which he intended to convey no accurate
Information.
The error in the statement OF yester-
day occurred from Mr.. McNulty reciting
in his testimony that on one occasion he
had told the claimant, when he was at
the mine in 1895, that he had taken out
not less that 100000 of turquoise the
year before. This was recited In his
testimony before the land court but was
not part of his testimony in that case
