Lost Mines of Arizona.

Lost Mines of Arizona.
From the Arizona Enterprise
The legends Of lost mines of fabulous
wealth in Pima county are almost number
less, and, it might be truthfully added, gen.
orally mythical The old-timers can tell of
them by the hour, and few have been
shown glittering evidences in confirmation
of the wonderful tales reluctantly recited
with superstitious dread of the consequences
of their perfldy by almost superannuated
Indians and MeKicans.
That the precious metsls were mined on
gigantic scale in the dim past the many
remaining evidences already discovered
fully verify, yet the investigation Of those

Some of the traditions told sound like
fairy tales, and one, however skeptical.
cannot but become deeply interested in
their recital. As sample Of the highly
plausible, well-authenticated, and ex-
tremely seductive narratives, one related
by Charles o. Brown of this city may be

of old-timers have visited it.. and. judging
from the vast work done there so long ago,
they concluded that great mine of some
kind had existed there, which had likely
been worked out. Many times has it been

complaint made.
The Richmond Terminal reorganization
plan will be submitted 10 security holders
ana the public early this week, the New
ork Herald says One OF the strongest
features IS the large reduction that will be
effected in operating aud administrative
expenses through consolidation of the sew
eral companies. The economies brought
about in this way will foot up many hum
dreds OF thousands OF dollars. Earnings
OF the system will be increased by the abol-
lshment Of competition between several Of
the roads, which, strange as it may seem,
has a. times been very sharp. The services
OF an army of freight solicitors, etc. will be
dispensed with and rates will be maintained
on more stable and remunerative basis.
The aim of the committee Ia readjusting
the securities of companies in the system is,
as was the case in previous reorganizations
effected by the Central Trust Company, to
issue first mortgage bond that shall be
absolutely good, while grading the other
securities so as to yield their holders all the
income TO which they are entitled.

Thc Devils Fable.

Many readers OF ''Notes for the
Curious" have heard learned friends
or travellers allude to the TeufeIstisch
and the Glass Palace without the least
idea of the interesting objects referred
to. 10 quickly come to the point we
will say hat the Teufelstisch is the
name given a large. fiat rock lying
nea Graefenberg, Bavaria. Trans
lated into English the meaning of the
word is Devils Table. Regularly at
midnight or the nigh: CT May J, the
ghosts of the ancient kings of France
used to assemble around the Teufel-
stisch and hold q fantastic banquet.
Later on some folklore writer's claim
that a glass palace, invisible to mortal
eyes, sprang up at that point with the
Devils Table in the center. From
midnight until daylight on the date
mentioned above. Gambrinus, the in
ventor of beer. sported around the big
fiat rock with others OF the shadowy
crew.-St. Louis Republican.

LIFE IN CHINA.
Seemingly Too Many People, and Then

..
Seemingly Too Many People, and Then
Such Awfully Queer Food.
How hard life becomes when e land
is over-populated, says a letter from
China. There are more than a million
souls in and about Annoy alone. They
are SO crowded together that when you
see them you forget they are human
larger scale than usual. They have to
live and they do it in a way hat would
astonish a citizen of the great republic.
Labor is a drug in the market. An eX-
pert joiner, carpenter, or metalsmith
receives % cents a day, $1.4O for a
week. or SIS. % for u month. A laborer
is glad to get 10 cents a day or So. so
a month. An old woman or small boy
receives 81 a month. But to live upon
these rates demands infinite economy,
and this prevails everywhere in China.
At low tide the beach is crowded with
men, women, and children.
They gather set moss anG convert it
into gelatine, seaweed, and change it
into a nutritious food, sea worms and
sea urchins, and by slow cooking trans
mute these into mysterious stews and
chowders. The driftwcod thrown up
by the sea is dried and utilized for
fuel. Even the tiny animals which
build little shell houses in the mud or
under rocks and powders are pried
out n by n and served up on the
dinner table. Two hundred scarcely
fill a small cup and require four hours
hard work to gather, but they are in
the market every day and sell for 8 or
4, cents a pound. The children are
trained to pick up dead leaves, sticks,
and straws and put them aside to dry
until disable as firewood. One child
keeps a family supplied by working
eight hours a day.
Necessity teaches them how to pre-
pare for food what we consider worth
less weeds. The tops Of turnips, car
rots, sweet potatoes, and onions, the
seeds of watermelons, squashes, sun
flowers, and fruits. the entrails OF ami
mails. the fins. and bones of fishes are
all utilized, and it must be confessed
made into very savory dishes. What
can not be digested by the human

DR.. Graves, Accompanied by Guards.
Visits His Sick Wife.
DENVER, Jan. 8.-Dr. Graves had an
interview with his wife. Her physician
had represented to Judge Rising that
unless DR.. Graves was allowed to visit
her, her life would be in danger, as she
was delirious and was calling for him
constantly. The judge granted the re-
quest, and the doctor, accompanied by
three guards, went to his wife's bedside.
The scene was a very affecting one and
there was not a dry eye in the room.
The doctor begged his guards to allow
him to be alone with his wife for a few
minutes, but his request was denied.
Mrs. Graves condition is very critical
end 1t is feared she will lose her reason.
