a Savaunahian Writes a Few Points
on Life in Nicaragua.

a Savaunahian Writes q Few Points
on Life in Nicaragua.
Life in Nicaragua must be irksome to
L. Stibbs, formerly Of Savannah. to his
nephew, Charles E. Mallette, one of the
deputy sheriffs of the city court.
Mr.. Stibbs went to Crije, Nicaragua. two
or three years ago, to engage in gold min
ing, and has purchased some valuable gold
and copper mines in the mountains of Mica
ragua, which he expects to begin mining
soon Oh profitable and extensive scale, as
he has ordered improved machinery from
this country for separating the valuable
ores. There are no railroads in the vicinity
Of the property, and the ores have to be car
ried ''donkey-back" for long distances, and
the machinery, when it reaches its destina-
ton, will have to be taken piecemeal over
the mountains in this way
In a letter received by Mr.. Mallette last
week, Mr.. Stibbs says that the mail facili-
ties are something dreadful. He adds: ~
expect CO.. Estlil would put another feather
in his cap if he knew we value his paper so
highly. Sometimes we pay dollar to a
native to go to the postoffice, some twenty
five miles over the mountains, to get the
WEEKLY NEWS"
The writer says that garden seeds are hard
10 get, anu 10 Writes TO MS nephew to send
him some cabbage, beet, thyme parsley ard
sage seeds. I'VE suffer very much" he
writes, "for vegetables. We raise a few
with great labor. You could not buy such
thing as cabbage here if you were to
offer 81, 600 head for it, nor nothing in the
vegetable line except BEANS"
In giving directions how to send the gar
den seeds, the cupidity of the natives leads
Mr.. Stibbs to ask that great precaution be
taken to make the package look like news
paper, which the untutored Nicaraguans of
the mountains apparently do not think is
worth stealing. He says: Wrap the seeds
in a paper along with an almanac in the
English language, so it will not be suspected
that it is anything but newspaper, for if
they suspect the package contains garden
seeds they will confiscate it long before the
seeds reach us. Garden seeds are worth
their weight in gold here"
Gold mining is beginning to attract
q great deal of attention in Nicaragua
and many mines of gold and copper are be-
ing profitably worked by German, French
and English companies. Silver is found in
many places, but little attention has so far
been given to this branch of mining. Mr..
Stubs thinks he has good thing in his
Central American property, and while his
first few years have been years of hardships
he expects to reap a golden harvest in the
near future.
