SOMETHING ABOUT GOMEZ
Daring Exploit Of One Of Vasauez,s

The letter Of Gomez conveying infor-
nation of the death of Chavez at Ouiayac,
recalls an incident in the bandit.career of
Francisco Gomez himself. The details
were published in the newspapers at the
time, but brief hint of the exploit will

pistol, the ball from which went through

Gomez then sprang into the brush; and,
after an Intellectual discharge of pistols on
both sides, made his escape.
Matchbox, having summoned a posse
to his aid, again started out to capture
Gomez. The Constable's assistants were

is, within these limits TO astonish
the world with its results.
Humboldt prophesied that rich
deposits of ore would be found
from the branching out of the
Cordilieras, in lower Arizona and
Sonora, into the Sierras and
Rockies F.; and the deposits would
be found nearer the surface at
the point where the branching
begins, and would deepen as
mining proceeded farther north.
This prophesy has so far been
fulfilled with wonderful accuracy.
In Arizona the richest metalli.
ferrous ores are found on the sur
face, or after only slight digging;
whereas in Nevada the descent
is for twenty-five hundred feet,
and in the case of the rich surface
ores, it is found that they also
grow stiII richer with depth. So

The financ ial distress Of England is in
creasing. According to the Herald CORE
spondent, the first week of the new year
had not slipped away before another disas-
ter fell upon the west of England-the Cor
nish Bank, whose headquarters were at Tru-
70 in Cornwall, and whose business extend
ed over the central part of that county,
stopped payment. Situated as It's, or rather
was, with its various branches, in the very
centre of the mining district, the principal
the most intimate business connections, the
announcement was received with astonish-
ment and blank dismaY, for the bank, estab-
lished so far back as the year ITO, was re-
garded as having its very foundation laid in
safety and solidity. Its proprietors were
men Of the highest integrity, and were
regarded as being possessed of wealth far
more than sufficient to place them complete
ly beyond the effects of panic, however
severe. But a variety of circumstances
have compelled them to succumb, and the
disaster, following SO closely upon the Glas-
gov and South Wales and West of England
Bank failures, has created feeling OF alarm
which Is not alone confined to Cornwall, but
has made itself felt over almost every part
of the country. From the extreme north OF
Scotland to the far west Of England, Giant
Ruin has stalked with rapid strides over the
island, and the distress which has followed
in his track it is impossible to exaggerate.
