HER WEIGHT IN GOLD.

Mrs Jesus Castro, an aged Mexican
lady, now residing at American Flag, in
the Santa Catalina mountains, is perhaps
the only woman who, literally speaking,
ever cost her husband her weight in gold.
1t is said that in the carly gold-digging
days Of California she was a resident Of
Sonora, in which State she was born and
grew to womanhood. When about the
age Of II a paternal uncle, but few
years her senior, returned with his COM
panions, gold laden, from the Ell Dorado
Of the West, and became desperately en-
amored Of her. He sought her hand in
marriage and was accepted, but the
church refused, because of the near rela.
tionship existing between them, to sol,
emize the marriage.
Persuasion being in vain, lie tried the
power of gold to win the church his way,
and succeeded only by the payment of
her weight in gold, She at that time
weighed III pounds, and against her in
in the scales glittering dust was shoveled.
Her afiianced husband still had sufficient
of this worlds goods to provide COM
Portable home, and they were married.
They lived happily together, and she
bore her husband eleven children. In
the course of years he died, and she mar.
ried again, Mr.. Cestro being her second
husband. The above is fact and not
fiction, as living witnesses can prove
