GOLD SECURED FROM
NEAR ALBUQUERQUE
TEN TONS OF UNASSoRTED ORE
YIELD $1,000 OF THE PRE-
PRECIOUS YELLOW METAL
ABOUT FORTY MILES
AWAY.

A representative of The Citizen
saw, yesterday, in the Bank of Com
merce, two peculiar looking objects,
lying in a box. They had the ap-
pearance of the two halves of q
rather large apple which had been cut
in two midway between the stem and
blossom ends. Closer scrutiny show
ed them to be two buttons of gold,
as mining men call them, and it was
learned on authority that the two,
one of which was finer than the
other, were worth $l,S00.
But what interested the scribe
more than aught else was that these
buttons had been gathered from ten
tons of ore, and that such ore in large
quantities lay only about forty miles
from Albuquerque and about twenty
miles from the railroad.
To be more explicit, this gold came
from the Gold Coin claim, in the
Golden, ~ NJ, district. This district,
for many years, has been known to
be very rich in gold, the precious
metal being distributed in veins, in
placers, and in the widely extended
conglomeraJe of the district, the lat
ter being locally known as cement" a"
A number of paying claims have from
time to time been more or less devel-
oped in that section, while of the
placers there Prof. Jones has said
that they are probably the oldest
placers ever worked in America. Even
now, it Is no unusual thing, after a
hard rain, for valuable nuggets to be
picked up from among the gravel.
This Gold Coin claim some two
months ago was leased by Sherman
Brown and William Schoen, both of
Milwaukee They are stripping the
face of the hill from the bottom of
the gulch TO the hirs top. The vein
is a true fssure. and there are three
grades of the ore. A streak through
the center is almost pure and has
assayed S23S.OOO 10 the ton. The rock
on either side OF this highly mineral
lied streak will average $40 TO the
ton, and to the eye appears plainly
and plentifully impregnated with
gold particles. while that which is
further away, averages only about $40
to the ton.
The mill run, from which the two
buttons were made, was the first
clean up after the stripping mad he
gun, the third class ore being not
used. B. A. Staatz is in charge of
the work. the lessees not being there
But it is confidently said that they
are much pleased with the develop
ments thds far, and that they will
push the work for all there is in it,
they believing they have a bonanza.

CAPT. JOHN T. H0GUE
FAVORS STATEHOOD
FOR NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA.
A REPUBLICAN FOR FIFTY
YEARS - WANTS TO SEE
CHANGE FROM TERRI
TORY TO STATE.

Captain John T. Hogue of st. Johns,
Ariz., was in the city last evening,
registered at the Alvarado. Captain
Hogue is very much in favor of joint
statehood. He has been a republican
for fifty years, and has lost none of
his youthful enthusiasm for the po-
litical party which he joined at it's or
ganization. For more than a quarter
of a century the captain has been a
resident of Arizona; he has witnessed
many changes in the territory during
that time, but he says there is one
other change which he wishes to see
take place-from a territory to state
hood-and the captain is unalterably
in favor of the change on the most
favorable terms which the people of
the United States will grant, and he
added that he was inclined 10 think
that the present bill was about as
liberal as Arizona would ever get in
this world
