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 1545
the mines of Potosi, in Mexico, were
discovered, and their yield for that age
was so great that a powerful impulse
was given to mining industry through
out the New World. In 1910 Zacatecas
began to produce its great treasures,
Sombrerete followed in 1906, and Guam
ajuato in 1858.
An important discovery, one that has
added to the wealth of the world, was
the discovery by poor Mexican miner
in the year 1857 of the process of ANAL
gamation of ores with quicksilver. In
the last years of the sixteenth century
Potosi produced 81, 500, 900 per annum.
In 1880 the mines of Cerro Pa3co were
discovered. In the year 1925 and 1927
Zizcania and Jacal mines of Zacatecas
yielded the then large sum of $4.50O,-
900. The great bonanza of Real del
Monte was opened in 1862, yielded
$15, 900, 900 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 a 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
placers of Montana in 1862. The Dead
wood discoveries occurred in 1877, and
those of Leadville, Col.,4a year later,
but active operations have sprung up
mostly within the present year.-Saa

found, however, secreted in Spencer
razOr-case, written in the Greek Ian
guage, but one of the officers under
stood the characters and translated
them into English. The names of 8
number of the crew were written who
would be given q chance to walk the
plank" that is be dropped. overheard
and others were to be given'their choice
between compulsory service as pirates
or watery grave. F. Cromwell, the
boatswain's mate, and Elisha Small, 8
seaman from Boston, were also arrest
ed, they being discovered frequently in
conversation with Spencer. The three
were double-ironed and taken below
They were speedily tried by court
martial and found guilty, the sentence
being that the prisoners be execu
ted from the yardarm. They were
brought up on the morning OF
November 80 for execution. Small was
unmoved, and asked his mates to give
him q good jerk, SO as to make sure,
but Spencer was quite broken down.
He was exhorted by Captain Mackenzie
to set his companions q good example
by dying bravely, the remark having
the desired effect. Captain Mackenzie
briefly addressed the condemned upon
the enormity of their crime. Spencer
read from the Bible and prayer book,
begged forgiveness of all, and then said
he was ready to die.
Black caps were made from black
handkerchiefs. The colors were to be
hoisted at the moment to give solemnity
to the occasion, and then the gun was
to be fired as signal for the men at
the ropes to pull. Spencer wanted to
give the signal, but afterward he re-
quested Captain Mackenzie to do it for
him. When all was ready, the con-
demned men sitting in their hammocks,
awaiting the dreadful summons to an
other world, the gun belched forth its
thunder, the men at the three ropes
drew in. and the three unfortunates
shot aloft, the sudden contact with the
blocks above breaking their necks, and
hurrying them into the presence of the
great White Throne. Two of the men
were hung to one of the main yards,
and the third to the other. The bodies
were sewn up in sailcloth, the feet
weighted with shot, and the earthly re-
mains of the reckless youths were slid
on a plank through portfolios, and dis
appeared in the depths of the ocean.
When New York was reached Court
of Inquiry, composed of Commodores
Stuart, Jacob, Jones and Dallas exam
ined the case, and approved the course
of Captain Mackenzie. A court-martial
was also held, Commodore Downee
being its President, and the action of
Captain Mackenzie was indorsed.
Captain Burlington says that after
reaching New York the ship physician
shot himself, though it did not appear
that he had been concerned in the mu-
tiny. Captain Burlington knew of no
other survivors of the crew. A colored
man employed at the Union Depot, who
died last summer, was on board the
Somers at the time. 1t is probable that
there are some living, as the crew,
which consisted of eighty persons, was
composed of only eight able-bodied sea-
men, the remainder being boys of the
first and second class. The excitement
over the affair in the United States was
intense, and opinions were given for
and against Captain Mackenzie's s
course.

NUMBER 20.

ono or two have condemned it as a
blunder. No one of them denounced it
unreservedly, with the Indignation of
an hopest man for a dishonest act, as
an audacious crime. 1t has been very
clear from the outset that nothing
but the probability of q collapse
or failure of the conspiracy made it 3
subject of Democratic criticism. The
rascals engaged in the scheme knew
well enough that the mild opposition of
the few newspapers and leaders who
have lingering sense of decency and
would be disarmed at once by their sue
cess, and that the whole party would
approve their conduct.
As an instance in point, the Louis
vile Courier Journal was probably
more outspoken against the plans of
the Garcelon gang at the start than any
other Democratic newspaper. Some of
its leading articles seemed to be quite
pronounced in their condemnation of
the whole proceeding. But in the same
issue with these, and sometimes in the
course of the same article, were sneers
and insinuations against those who were
opposing the consummation OF the
crime, which showed that the sympa-
thies of the editor were, after all, with
the Fusionists. When the Fusionist
Lamson put forth his claim to be Act
ing Governor, and the bogus House
claimed to have secured a quorum, the
real sentiments of the CosIrier-JoHr,sGl
were more fully disclosed. The
prospect that the plot would succeed
excited not only its admiration for
what it called the "pluck" Of
the Fusionists, but aroused still
more its ire against the men who
continued-with equal "pluck''-to re-
sist them. 1t abused General Chamber
lain without stint for doing what among
all law-abiding and peace-lOving peo-
pie he was most praised for-called him
" Parson Chamberlain" said he was
nothing more than '' boss policeman"
and that he was +" afflicted with crooked
ness and double-dealing," while its
headlines bristled with such points as
these: Written in Bloodr' - Prompt
Dismissal of the Upstart Chamber
lain by the New Governorr' Decision
of the Absurdly Partisan Courtr' ETC.,
etc. From one learn all. The two or
three newspapers of the party that pre-
tended to disapprove the Pillsbury-
Garcelon crime did it only as matter
of policy and to keep up for themselves
the appearance of decency. At heart
they were not merely willing, but anx-
ious, that the villainous enterprise
should succeed.
1t is well enough to bear these facts
in mind when they begin boasting of
the peaceable and law-abiding DISPOSE
ton of their party. 1t is no thanks to
the Fusionist leaders of Maine that
there has not been anarchy and blood
shed; nor to the editors of Democratic
newspapers who played the role of
Horatio Seymour to the rioters in 1868,
deprecating violence in such a way as
to incite it, by telling the bloody-minded
ruf6ans that though they had abundant
justification for resistance to law, he
hoped they wouldn't do it.-N. ?.

Democratic Respect for Law.

We may expect presently to see the
Democratic newspapers break out with
one accord in q glorifcation of their
party for its amazing self control and
its wonderful respect for the forms of
law as shown in the conduct of the
Maine Fusionists. Whenever the party
has the slightest temptation to disturb
the public peace upon any sort of pre-
text, and refrains from doing it, the
orgaps find in it an occasion for extOl-
ling the wonderfully self-sacri6cing
spirit of patriotism in the party. After
the Presidential question had been de-
cided against them, though there was
a strong disposition among them to
disregard the decision and inaugurate
q new rebellion-a disposition which,
as events have since proved, was only
hindered from actual mischief by the
unwillingness, or, as they prefer to call
it, the cowardice, of their leader-they
made great ado over the self-control
they had exercised, and the Difference
they had shown for the forms of law.
When they are not up to some sort of
deviltry they are pa.ting themselves
on the back for keeping out of it, and
calling upon the public to take note
how good they are. And the public,
only too thankful to have the peace
preserved, is seldom disposed to be
ohary of its praise of those who claim
to have resisted their own tendencies
to natural depravity, whatever may
have been the real reason for it. It's a
charitable public, and if pickpocket
in handouts takes credit to himself for
not plying his vocation in court, it lets
him do it.
1t is well enough, however, in the
present case to call attention to a fact
that has been made most manifest dur
ing the tendency of this Maine ques-
ton. and through all the discussion,
to-wit: that there has been no opposi-
ton to the methods of the Maine Fu-
sionists in one single Democratic news
paper of any prominence in the coun-
try that would not have been removed
BY a reasonable probability that those
methods would succeed. From a pref
ty careful observation of the tone of the
Democratic press of the country since
the controversy began-and there is not
one that has not taken a hand in it
we feel justified that not one of them
has protested against the contemplated
outrage with earnestness or sincerity;
that is without some distinct reserva-
ton in its utterances which held out
that, even though it was great wrong,
Republicans had no right to complain,
and that. being based on legal techni-
calities and the forms of law, it could
not be resisted. 1t has been treated by
some of them as worthy of commenda-
ton; some have admired it as q
.'smart'' political trick; some have
mildly questioned the policy of it, and

Nina sat like one stunned by an earth

piled the mother; but she remembered
afterward that Nina had fingered and
hesitated-" just as if she wished to

himself returned to Laurel Lodge there
was little three-cornered note on his
library table, in Nina's hand, which
read:

That Boy.

His juvenile heart yearned for a kite
string. He had kite and also an ugly
disreputable looking dog. Accompanied
by this beast, he went into drug store
and planking down penny, asked for
it's equivalent in licorice. While the
drug clerks back was turned, the wick
ed small boy tied to his dogs tail the
end of the ball of cord which is in case
on every orthodox retail store counter.
Then he gave his dog harsh kick and
yelled at him to go home. The dog
went, and in his best time. He had got
off with about enough string to fly re-
spectacle kite when the drug clerk had
put up the licorice. The boy cut the
string the end of what he had was out
of the store in 'jiffy.'' And as that
small boy leisurely sauntered out of that
store smearing his mouth with that lie
orice, the absent-minded drug clerk
thought he never had seen boy take SO
little interest in things In general.
