The gall OF those individuals who

whose every interest and hope Of
success lies In the building up of

another man who has favored him.

les cream and cake were served at
the tables, and nearly $50 was rt-

New Mexico Is land of hidden
mines aud hidden treasures. This
10 true in the sense OF its veins and
bodies of mineral, but many are led
by the stories Of Natives. Indians
and ancient miners, to believe that
IL Isl real fairy land OF buried
treasures. There are in central
New Mexico according to tradition
many millions of buried Treasure.
AS well as numerous old, deserted
mines-left by the early Spaniards
or Indians, the shafts carefully con
cealed to prevent discovery, W hich
contain not only virgin silver or
gold. but also accumulated millions
of treasure. Almost every mining
district has one or more of these
ghost stories and there are men who
have maps and everything nearly
sufficient TO locate the spot, but

favor of the doubt. The people In
early days were poor and had crude
facilities for mining compared
with the present time, and while
treasure may have been buried
and no doubt was in different places,

easier and prospeetively more pro-
fltable, to expose ores In the legiii
mate way of mining than to fol.
low treasure will-'o-the- wisp.
