THE SIERRA MOJADA MINES.
Notes from a Reliable Gentleman who
Has Been There.
San Antonio Express, October 2l.l


Mr. Placido 0livarra, a reliable cit
izen of this city, has just received a
a letter from his son-in-law, Mr.. III
burcia Sanches, who had returned
from the Sierra Mojada. The letter
was dated at Guerrero, September
26, and MIR. Sanches says the Sierra
Mojada mines run from east to west,
the mineral veins existing on the right
slope, which, in his judgment, is one
mother-vein divided into MANY by the
Irregularities Of the land. In all Of the
spurs OF the mountain formed by the
currents of water the vein is found on
the surface, but appears in the low
lands There have been formal de-
nuncias made of eighty mines, and as
many more are pending. Their width
is truly wonderful, some of them
measuring as much as forty varas.
The richness of the ores has been
greatly exaggerated, but, according to
assays which he saw made, the richest
ores gave five marks TO the cargo (2661
ounces per tom, which has only been
produced by the Blanco mine, al
though this mine produces compare
lively little ore. There are other
mines whose ores are not so rich, but
which give quantity, among which
may be named the Jesus Maria, which
is considered the richest mine in the
amount Of ore produced, and which
gives from two to three marks per
cargo but the amount of ore produced
is very great. In three days six work
men have extracted over one thousand
cargoes of ore. There are many 9th
ers of equal or less richness, ranging
from one-half to three marks per cargo,
such as the Parrena La Esmeralda,
de San Jose, La Cruz, la Estrella.
Dolores, San Dimas, San Francisco,
and many others whose names do not
remember.
In the Sierra there are from 500 to
600 people, who are forming strong
companies to explore the Sierra de
Pinos, Sierra Blanca, El Perdido, Los
Cruces and other mountains. The
land in the Mojada is scarce of wood
and water, the writer having had to
make journey of about 35 leagues
without water, and afterward one of
10 or II leagues, the last of which was
to reach the mines, the distance from
Cuatro Cienegas to the Sierra being
about 45 leagues. In the Sierra there
is water, but it sometimes becomes
exhausted.in great drought. The wa
ter consists OF ponds and one small
spring at the mines.
The mining enthusiasm in the State
has been very great, and numerous
companies have been formed, who are
now exploring all the mountains in the
vicinity of the Sierra Mojada, and they
are finding veins equal to those in the
Sierra Mojada.

Andrew johnson and Fam iIy.

A correspondent writing to the
Louisville Democrat from Greeneville.
Andrew Johnsons old home, gives the
following interesting sketch of the
great commoner's private Office and
his family:
One of the most interesting objects
in GreeneVilleis x-President Andrew
Johnson's law Office. 1t is a small
room in one-story brick house. The
door opens on the street, from which
is one step. In this room are Mr..
Johnson's books, papers, documents,
pictures and scraps, which he had ac-
eumulated during a long term of DO
litical life and ofice-holding. Every
thing is left just as it was the day he
died In one corner are law books.
adjoining them are the bound vol
umes Of the Congressional Record.
and by them are the scrap books in
which Mr. Johnson's secretaries had
pasted such articles as related to him
while President. On the hy-leaf of
one book | noticed three column
article from the Pail Mall Gazette
dilating on "The Accidental Presi.
dent. Some seven or eight large
mail sacks contain the ex -President's $
letters and correspondence. Noticing
quite number of ponderous ledgers
on high shelf, | ventured to take
one down to see what it contained. In
them were filed all applications for
Office, In one column was the name
Of the applicant, in another the name
Of the recommended, and at various
points were noted such as whether an
officer or not, whether disabled in
war, in what company the applicant
belonged, etc. Three large tables
grace the room, one against the win.
dow having been used by the Great
Commoner." On it are lying scraps
of letters and scratched papeIs. On
the back of one of the letters |
noticed two verses which, no doubt,
had sounded grandly to the ex-Presi-
dents ear, and were intended to be
inserted in some one Of his many
speeches.
Andrew Johnson's granddaughter,
Miss Belle Patterson, intends to de-
liver lecture advocating noble
cause.-the freedom of her sex. 1t is
not known where Miss Patterson will
make her debut. The young lady has
fine carriage, and shows in her firm
forehead and flashing eye that she has
inherited great deal of her grand
iather's vim. She is destined to sue
ceed.
All of Andrew Johnson's sons died
at an early age. Two lie side by side,
south of their fathers monument,
both dying when thirty-three years
old. All of Mr.. Johnson's daughters
are married and he has quite num-
Der of granddaughters.
