OLD AZTEC MINES.
Interesting archaeological Discoveries
in New Mexico.


in New Mexico.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, March GA
group of old Spanish or Aztec mines have
recently been discovered at Las Plactas
of this county, about twenty miles from
this city. So many years have elapsed
since these mines were worked that all trace
Of their history has been lost, and the pres
ent inhabitants of the country know abso-
lutely nothing about them. Prospectors
recently got on to the trail of what they
thought was something good, and by
pushing their investigation came up
on unmistakable evidences OF what
were undoubtedly once rich work
ings. A very extensive system Of under
ground work has now been brought to light.
The mineral discovered. while not of the
highest grade, Is rich enough TO pay hand
somely, and runs generally from $50 to 500
to the ton. The remains have been found
in several places of what were once furnaces
for smelling the ores. There are also large
quantities of Stag, and in several instances
have been found what are clearly remains
Of implements used by the workmen. But
what will still be more interesting TO the
general reader is that these explorations
have developed unmistakable evidences of
the fact that the work on those
mines, which was performed, nob1dy
knows how many centuries ago. was brought
to summary conclusion by an earthquake
or general upheaval of some sort, for not
only are all the mine workings, smelters,
furnaces, etc., buried under some fifteen
feet of earth, but there has also been found
on the same level the ruins Of what was
once an aqueduct for bringing water to the
camp from source about ten miles distant.
The camp of Las Placitas, referred TO, is on
the eastern slope Of the Sandia mountains,
about twenty miles from Albuquerque, and
promises to become one of the most inter-
esting fields Of archaeological researches yet
discovered in this country.
