The Discovery Of Noted Mines.

The working of gold and silver ores
was commenced on this continent by
the Spaniards at the earliest time OF
their occupation and conquest. In 1916
the mines of Potosi, in Mexico, were
discovered, and their yield for that age
was so great that powerful impulse
was given to mining industry through
out the New World. In 1910 Zacatecas
began to produce it's great treasures,
Sombrerete followed in 1865, and Guam
aiuatO in 1868.
An important discovery, one that has
added to the wealth of the world, was
the discovery by poor Mexican miner
in the year 1867 Of the process of ANAL
gamatiOn of ores with quicksilver. In
the last years of the sixteenth century
Potosi produced 1880, 900 per annum.
In 1880 the mines of Cerro Pa9co were
discovered. In the year 1926 and 1927
Zizcania and Jacal mines of Zacatecas
yielded the then large sum of $4,500,-
600. The great bonanza of Real del
Monte was opened in 1862, yielded
$15,000,000 in twenty-five years. These
wonderful results from crude and i'm
perfect methods for many years placed
Mexico among the foremost of produc-
ing countries of the precious metals.
Wars and Indian depredatiOns, as
well as the interminable revolutions in
States of Mexico, have, in great meas
ure, paralyzed industry of all descrip-
tions, 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. In 1859 the great rush to Pixies
Peak, or that portion of our country
since named Colorado, began. The
year was also marked as the commence
ment of systematic work upon the Justly
celebrated Comstock lode of Nevada,
although the discovery took place two
years previous, and the lode was worked
for gold to the depth of sixty feet. Gold
and silver mines were discovered in
Idaho in 1861, and the wonderful rich
plaoers of Montana in 1862. The Dead
wood discoveries occurred in 1877, and
those of Leadville, Col, a year later,
but active operations have sprung up
mostly within the present year, ,-San
Francisco St0cb Report.

Old Names the Best.

In recent meeting of the Detroit
Lime Kiln Club Sir Isaac Walpole
handed President Gardner an epistle
from colored mother in Detroit who
wanted advice as to what name to give
her daughter, She had worried over
the subject for six weeks, and now trust
ed that the club would suggest some
thing which her romantic mind could
accept.
