Gold Mines

midway between New Bay and Porto Bello.
thew ran up little creek for short distance
where they left their boat, and with their
knapsacks proceeded into the interior on a
prospecting tour" After ascending into
the interior mountainous country eight or
nine miles, they found signs Of ancient mi
ming operations. Some old natives residno
near here have long told of mountain be-
tween Navy Bay and Port Bello where the
old Spaniards, prior to the revolution, car
red on extensive and lucrative mining ope-
rations. The place or district is called San
ia Rita. These ancient 'diggins,' are sup
posed to be Of great antiquity.
The report made by Mr. Dyer's party on
their return is exciting great interest. Ira
ees were discovered of an old maeadamized
track leading from Porto Bello to some cen.
trail point in the mining district. They ex-
amined several mountain gulches that had
been extensively worked. There are paths
leading from one mine to another.
They found indications of town having
formerly existed of considerable note
There are still remaining the ruins of a
church and some houses. These mines
must have been deserted forty or fftv
years ago. They were probably worked
by African slaves, and natives who were
forced to work by the ancient Spanish set

sand with hand-basin, Mr. Dyer procured
some rich specimens of fine gold dust mixed
with black sand, and they report it very

must have been designed for crushing qnartz
and separating gold from the same They
also found in one place an immense exea-

the dirt had been taken, and after being
washed thrown into ravine There were
large piles of these "tailings' indicating

Barlan and one or two others interested in the

sum of seven hundred thousand dollars and has

New Car Scats.-Thc @Buffalo Rough
Notes" notices a new car seat invented by
Mr.. D. H. Wiswell, of that city. In ap-
pearance it is similar to the common seat,
and it can be moved with the same ease and
readiness In addition to this, the back Of
the seat, by a very simple bat ingenious
contrivance, can he placed at any angle, at
the pleasure Of the person occupying it, and
a head rest. which when not needed, is put
down entirely out of the way, can be ele-
waited at any desired angle, forming, alto

person can sleep on this seat nearly as easi-
ly and well as though in bed. Something
Of this kind has long been wanted.
