OLD AZTEC MINES.
Interesting Arch Gpingicpt Discovery Re.

A group of old Spanish or Aztec
mines have recently been discovered at

twenty five miles from this city, says
an Albuquerque (New Mexico) CORES

maHN Ncars have elapsed since these
mines were wnrh,nl that all irnc" If
their history has been lost and Tie
present inhabitants of the country
know absolutely nothing about them.
Prospectors recently got on the trail
of what hey thought WAS something
good. amt by pushing their investiga-
tion ca'nc unou unmistakahlr evidences
OF what were undoubtedly once rich
workings. #. a.'..'..
A very extensive system of under
ground work has now been brought to
light. The minerals discovered. while
not of the highest grade is rich enough
to pay handsomely. aud runs general
~ from $50 TO 500 to the ton. The re-
mains have hren found in several
places Of what were once furnaces for
smelling the ores. There are also large
quantities of Stag. and in several in
stances have been found what are
clearly remains of implements used by
the workmen. r. ...a
But what will still be more interest
ing to the general reader is that these
explorations have developed unmistak-
able evidences of the fact that the
work on these mines. which was per-
formed nobody knows how many cen
turtles ago, was brought to a summary
conclusion by an earthquake or gen
eral upheavei of some sort, for not only

He Loved Sausage.

A correspondent of the Youths COM
pGnioM sends from Michigan a true
story of Il farmers dog who has been
guilty of obtaining goods under false
prctrnses. =
He is extremely fond of sausage. and
has been taughs by his owner to 90

ten order in his mouth.
Day after day he appeared at the
butcher shop. bringing his masters or
der, and by and by the butcher became
careless about reading the document.
Finally when settlement day came. the
farmer complained that he was charged
with more sausages than he had order
ed.
The butcher was surprised. and the
next time Lion came in with slip OF
paper between his teeth he took the
trouble Ia look mt it. The paper was
blank and further Investigation show
cd that whenever the dog felt cruv.
ing for sausage he would look around
for a piece nf paper. and trotted off to
the butchers.
The farmer is something ont of pock-
ct, but squares the account by boast.
