Chilian Exploration.

The Chilians have several thousand
men ut work in the province of Arau-
cania. and the latest result of eNplOrd-
tions is the discovery of the site of the
ancient city of Villarica. The ruins
are now thickly studded with full grown
oaks. and among them are traced streets
which were fully one mile in length and
which had been divided into blocks 100
wards square. rs was customary III most
of the cities founded by the Spaniards.
The city had been surrounded by a
wall. which is vet in fair state of pre-
servation from three to SIX feet from
the ground-a sufficient defence IN for
mer DAYS against any ordinary Indian
attack. Tiles were found which have
hardened to the consistency OF stone.
In the vicinity there is very extensive
lake. in which an island is situated
which is reported to be swarming with
the descendants of the domestic animals
belonging to the Spaniards who Were
here sacrificed by the victorious Arau-
canians. who took the city after siege
of over two Years. All the districts
now being eXplored-and notably that
surrounding Villarica-abOundm in mines
which returned large sums during the
Spanish occupancy. These mines viii
again be worked under different auspi
ces. and will lend their assistance ii
promoting the rapid settlement and de
velopment of Araucania, so long oecu
pied by the scattered bands claiming
dominion over it, but which now prom
