Nogales Herald: Last week an i'm
portant mineral discovery was mad,
on the Mexican side Of the line, about
one mile and a half from town. The
existence Of rastras there had beer
known for years, but as there
were no indications of mine in the
nelghborhood it was supposed the ore
had been brought from some distance,
but the workings were only few
yardsaway 10 being one Of the 'lost
mines about which there are so many
! legends existing in the far southwest.
Last week some mules owned by a
Mexican strayed away While search
ing for them and another animal the
rider came near being thrown on ac.
count Of Che plunging Of the horse, the
feet of which had become entangled.
On dismountlng and investigating the
Mexican found the animal had become
entangled in some mesquite tlmbers,
over which there was a slight covering
OF earth. When these had been re-
moved the mouth Of a shaft was dis
closed and the mystery OF the rastras
explained. Mr. Rodolfo Vasquez and
Or. Chenowith have become interest
ed in the mine and wilfAegln work at
an early day. Asfar as examined, a
ledge -four feet in width has been dis
closed, which will average 20 ounces
in silver and four tenths Of an oucce
in gold. Without any development
work It is calculated that there are
1000 tons of ore in sight. Fuel and
water are abundant i'm the immediate
neighborhood. The owners feel that
they have a good thing.
The experiment Of diyertlng the
Feather river, in California to secure
the gold supposed to be buried in its
channel, is certainly an interesting
one. The difficult work has been ac-
complished, the'river now flows for a
distance Of two miles in new chan
mel AID II will soon be determined if
there is gold in paying quantities in
the old river bed. The managers are
sanguine Of big results.
Stockman; The other day a
number OF cowboys were in the town
of Clayton and the justice Of the peace
declared ita "free day." suspended
law and order Joined the boys in their
little fun and had a gay old time.
Next psessshe VIII be Bielsiug at the
sheriff for not keeping a high priced
deputy to preserve order. Talk Of just
ice being bind, the justicea at Clay ton
gets as blind as proycrbial chilled owl"
on every slight provocatlon, but no
wonder when his principal diet seems
to be loco con carne de pero.
Prospector: The census cnumera
ion OF criminals sentenced to the pen
itentiary Of different states and terri
itorles during the year 1890 shows
Arizona to have sent 1853 males and
female TO prison. New Mexico with
double the population of Arizona sent
but l07. There is no state or terri
tory In the list that shows the same
percentage of criminals punished for
their crimes as does Arizona, and still
it has 2 reputation Of being a country
where crime goes unpunished.
From all parts of Arizona the news
comes to as of bountlful harvest.
Wheat and barley is already harvested
in most parts of the territory and
where threshing has been done we
hear of an unusually large yield.
Itappears that Mexico cannot pre-
vent the entry Of Chinese into the
United States for the reason that her
guarantees every man
right to enter and so out of the re-
public without passport. 1t would
appear from this that the constitution
OF Mexico is more liberal than that of
the United States, which is a rather
emphatic criticism of our boasted lib
erallty and freedom.
Albuquerque Citizen: The 'angry
tree woody plant, which grows from
ten to twenty five feet high, and was
formerly supposed to exist only in
Nevada, has recently been found in
both Eastern California and in Ari-
zona. If disturbed this peculiar tree
shows every sign Of vexation, even
to ruflle upits leaves like the hair Of
an angry cat, and giving forth an un.
pleasant sickenlng odor.
Coconino Sun: The peaks Of the
San Francisco mountains arc covered
with the "beautlful' this morning.
