Northern Chihuahua, an immense es-
tate belonging to FL Paso and New

angle of forty-fye degrees and evil
IDENTIFY following the richest ore streak
in zigzag manner. At the end of
this machine subterranean chamber
was found which had been fashioned
evidently with great labor and trouble
into regular Catholic chapel. The
chamber is some thirty feet in di-
ameter and about twenty feet high.
Seats have been cut from solid rock
running all around the chapel. and so
has been an altar and pulpit. The
whole was found neatly whitewashed,
and presents peculiar and weird as
pect. The ancient chapel could be used
at moments notice as place OF wor-
ship.
A tradition is found TO exist among
the natives living in the heighborhood
that many years ago regiment of
Spanish cavalry was stationed at the
preside Janos. some twenty-five miles
distant from the mines, and that the
Indians disclosed the existence of the
mine to the priest, who was in spiritu-
al charge of the regiment. This priest
went into partnership with the colonel,
and they employed the soldiers of the
command in the working mine. which
was found exceedingly rich. After
while complaints were made about
this enforced labor at headquarters in
Spain. and the colonel was called home
to answer the charge. Before leaving.
he and the priest divided the silver, and
the coloners share was suffic emit to
load eighty mules, which he took with
him across the country to Vera Cruz,
where he took ship for SPUN.
The whole country adjacent to the
Casa Grande and Santa Maria rivers
full of objects of interest TO the arch

ruins are found everywhere, many of
them clearly trceable to the Aztecs. but
others evidently antedate any anthem

exploration and investigation can not
be found anywhere in North America.
