months trip to his mines in Arizona.

And over all the valley land
A gray winged vapor sails.

The sunset fires will burn,
The flowers will blow, the river flow,
When l no more return.
No whisper from the mountain pine
Nor lapsing stream shall tell
The stranger, treading where tread,
OF him who loved them well.
But beauty seen is never lost
Gods colors all are fast;
The glory of this sunset heaven
Into my soul has passed.
A sense of gladness unconfined
To mortal date or cline;
As the soul liveth, 1t shall live
Beyond the years of time.
Beside the mystic asphodels
Shall bloom the home born flowers.
And new horizons flush and glow
With sunset hues of ours.

MINES AND MINING.
AN IMPORTANT SALE OF AN ONYX
QUARRY.
1t Is Located at Los Tules in Lower
California The Argus Mountain
Mines-The Ragnarock
Claims.

The sale of the great onyx marble
quarry of Los Tules, Lower California,
of which mention has heretofore been
made in this paper, was completed sto-
day, SAYS the San Diego Sun of last
week, the money for the purchase hav-
ing been paid over to the owners by the
Consolidated National bank, in which
the purchase papers have been held in
escrow. This property was discovered
by G. Murillo nearly two years ago.
The public Will vividly remember his
cruel death at the hands of the crazy
steward OF the Carlos Pacheco near the
Santa Fe wharf about year since.
Jason L. Clark, Ex-Governor Eli
II. Murray and Geosge Foster
of this city, the partners of
G. MuTillo, and afterwards j. P. Alexan-
der of Louisiana, got matters in shape
to place the mine on the market. Mr..
Clark was given power to sell the mine
and he went east with samples of the
stone and began the work. He was sue
cessful, but only after convincing the in
tending purchasers of the real quality
of the stone and the immense extent of
the Lodges. 1t was pronounced far
superior to much of the onyx mined in
the United States. The price paid for
the 1000 acres of land which include the
mines is still kept secret, but it is un-
derstood to be at least $100, 900, the
widows share being sufficient to insure
her competency for the rest of her
days.
The general manager of the company
formed to operate the mines is Prof.
George S. Fellows of Washington, D. c.,
who is familiar with onyx quarries and
owner of several mines in various parts
of the west, but there are none, be AYERS,
which compare with the Murillo prop
erty in extent or quality. He arrived
from the east few days ago with j. L.
Clark, and they went down on the Pa.
checo's last trip to San Quintin, whence
they will proceed to the mines, 60 miles
southeast of that place. With them
went men from here, who will at once
be put at work opening the mines and
preparing for active operations and
improving the wagon road to the
coast, a distance of As miles, where
the onyx is to be transported
in wagons to schooners which will
bring it to this port. A contract has al
ready been let for hauling the stone to
the coast, and an arrangement has been
made with II. A. Howard for the use of
his schooner in bringing the onyx here.
Five carloads will be at once extricated
and sent east. 1t is Professor Fellows

property and this city, the base OF oper-
ations. A stock of supplies. costing
$1,000, has already been bought in San
Diego and forwarded to the mines.
Later 100 tons of supplies and machinery
will he sent down.
The deal is an important one and
means much for San Diego, as the prop
erty will be developed on good scale,
and all supplies as far as possible will
be obtained here. The onyx will be
shipped east via this port.

BIG MONEY FOR OLD STAMPS

The Russian Autocrat Has Collection
Worth $500, 900.
In Europe alone there arc several
million stamp collectors All sorts and
conditions of men and women seem to
take delight in philately, and it has
thousands of juvenile votaries. One of
the most valuable collections in the
world is that of u. Philippe de Fer
rari, son of the duchess of Galliera,
which is worth 5000, 900. French stamp
collectors have a weakness for Asistic
specimens. for the 1s47 issue of Mauri-
titus. and for 1912 examples of the
stamps of Bourbon Island. The former
are valued at $40 apiece and the latter
at $500 each! The stamps of British
Guiana QS5e) and of Hawaii (1S52) fetch
higher prices still. Among distin-
guished plilatelists may be mentioned
the car of Russia fwhose collection is
worth at least $500, ooO), the prince of
Wales, the duke of Edinburg, the late
prince imperial, Baron Rothschild. etc.
Certain stamps being so valuable from
their rarity. it, of course, occurred to
clever scoundrels to forge examples of
the same. Thus it happens that there
are many spurious stamps in the mar
ket. the detection of which is difficult
and wen-nigh impossible to all but eN-
perts. 1t therefore behooves stamp col
lectors to be very careful whom they
deal with. and this warning applies
more especially to amateurs who go in
