Americas Mines.

The working of silver and goldtores was
compeneed on this continent byt Spaniards
at the earliest time of their occupation and
conquest. ,rg
In 1916 the mines Of Potosi, in Mexico,
were discovered, and their yield for that age
was SO great that a powerful impulse was Civ
en- to mining industry throughout the New
World.
In 1913 Zacatecas began to produce its great
Guanajuato in 1868.
An important discovery, one that has added
to the wealth of the world, was the discovery
by a poor Mexican miner, in the year 1867, of
the process Of amalgamation of ores with
quicksilver. % " s4,l
In the last years Of the Sixteenth century
Potosi produced $7,b00,000 per annum.
In 1880 the mines Of Cerro Pasco were dis
covered.
In the years 1926 and 1927 the vizcania and
Jacal mines of Zacatecas yielded the then large
sum of $4,50O,0OO.
The great bonanza of Real del Monte was
opened in 1862, yielding SIS, 100000 in TWEEN
ty-twc years, .asEa.
These wonderful results from crnde and
imperfect methods for many years placed Mex
leo among the foremost of producing coun-
tries Of the precious metals. Wars and Indi-
an depredations, as well as the interminable
revolutions in the States of Mexico, have in a
great measure %paralyzed industry of all de-
scriptioDs, and have been especially fatal to
the development of mines, and one of the
great treasure houses of the globe has been
virtually closed for many years.
During this quiet gold was discovered by
Marshall on Suffer Greek, in California, and
the year 1s49 witnessed the grand outpouring
of people from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast.
In 1850 the great rush to Pixies Peak, or
that portion of our country since named Colo
RADIO, began. This year was also marked as
the commencement of systematic work upon
the justly celebrated Comstock lode Of Neva-
da, although the discovery took place two
years previous, and the lode was worked for
gold to a depth of sixty feet.
Gold and silver mines were discovered in
Idaho in 1861, and the wonderfully rich pla-
GERS OF Montana in 1862.
The Deadwood discoveries occurred in 1877,
and those of Leadville, COL, ayear later but
active operations have sprung ap mostly with
in the present year.-Grdphic,

VANITY'S FAIR.

Ing-macline agents, nor any of the ills which
beset people through life. There is no occa-
sion for swearing outside of a newspaper
office, where it is useful in proof-rcading and
indispensably necessary in getting forms to
press. 1t has been known, also, to materially
assist the editor in looking over the paper
after it is printed. But otherwise it is a very
foolish and wicked habit Washington Re

fell upon a basket of parcels yet undelivered,
and he called to his delivery man:

ought to have been delivered on Cass street
two hours ago! Take it right away, and if
the woman finds any fault, tell her that you
run a wheel off and had to go to the shop
"That won't do replied the man; 1--we
made that excuse to her three or four times.'
