range when all at once I saw an Indian
standing about twenty feet ahead of us.
He was drawn up TO his full height and
was in full war dress, eagle, feathers, paint,
etc, and was eylng us from under his
bent brows as if trying to make us out.
"My horse caught sight of him at about
the same time and began to rear and
plunge in such a manner as to preclude
all progress on my part, but Houston rode
on, though his animal resented it also.
watched the young man approach the
stately figure in the road, and then all at
once saw Houston shoot out of the saddle
over the horses head and fall in the road.
He lay perfectly motionless, while the fig
ure of the Indian vanished, even as looked
at it. then rode forward, and, dismount-
ing, looked at Houston, to find that he was
dead with broken neck. had to put the
body on his horse and lead him back to

This was in 1873, and misfortune at

to find the mine. Fred Lathrop tells of
meeting the old warrior resplendent in
war paint and feathers. II was amazed, /"
he adds, "that I was able to see objects in
the road beyond him just as if he had not
been there, though the figure, when looked
at closely, seemed as palpable as any other
thing about me. I paused, scared nearly
to death, as 1 do not mind confessing to
you, and too much bewildered to even
turn my horse around. The Indian then
came forward and took my bride in his
hand and led the animal about. While it
was held by the ghost the poor horse kept
starting and was bathed in perspiration all
over. The phantom continued to lead the
horse for the space of 100 yards, while sat
frozen with terror, unable to resist or re-
monstrate. When we reached a road that

them the ghost gave me a farewell wave

PHANTOM OF THE MINES.
An Indian Ghost That Causes Lots
Trouble.

Trouble.
Haunted houses are common, haunted
men have been reported occasionally, and in
the highest flights of romance the haunted
mine figures. But of all the "haunts" tes-
titled to by reliable witnesses that of the
''lost mine" in the Santiago mountains,
near Las Cruces, N M, holds its place
most persistently. Railroads and modern
science have no effect on it; the most skep-
tical white materialists realize the presence
Just as powerfully as the Indians did fifty
years ago.
The ghost is that of an old Navajo In
dian, who knew the location of the mine
and was killed by the first white pros
pectors for refusing to reveal it. His name
was Jacopo, or is rather, for he is still on
deck, and the latest view of him was by
Henry Williams and George Goggans, two
men from Milwaukee, who recently made
fishing and hunting tour in the Madre de
Dios, a small stream flowing through the
Santiago valley.
Two nights in succession both dreamed
of seeing a strange looking Indian. The
third night they watched and saw him in
the spirit or flesh. Next night he came
again in their dreams and warned them
not to seek the lost mine. They had never
heard of it before, and of course wanted to
find it at once. They started into the
mountains, but soon Mr.. Goggans fell and
sprained his ankle badly, whereupon the
old Indian issued from the rocks, laughed
in derision, and vanished like puff of
smoke" They had to ride back to Las
Cruces for surgical aid, and decided not to
hunt for the lost mine any more.
Colonel Jenkins and Fred Lathrop, of
Las Cruces, have also seen the Indian, and
the former gives this account:
II was accompanied by a young man
named Houston, Wat Houston, from Ten
nessee, who had no fear of ghosts. / had
heard of the phantom that haunted these
mountains, but put no confidence in the
story, feeling myself equal to any specter
that might see. Well, Houston and

fertilizers year after year and devote a
large part of their crop to the sustenance
of the soil on which they must depend for
their all.
Grass grows but sparsely, and it is poor
picking for the cows and horses. Cotton
is the principal crop, of course but during
the last three years, owing to short crops
of cotton and low prices, farmers have been
putting in more corn.
A southern corn field is a sad sight to the
eyes which are accustomed to northern
fields, where the stalks grow from three to
five in the hill. Down in this country each
stalk stands alone-a hill to itself. There
could be no more striking commentary
upon the poverty of the southern soil, upon
the disadvantage under which the agri
culturists of Dixie labor in competition
with their more fortunate brothers of the
north. The more honor to them for brave
ly and uncomplainingly maintaining the
fight.
Probably no northerner ever travelled
through the south without being impressed
by the lone and abandoned chimneys-
stones which mark the graves of dead
homes. They are everywhere. Almost
every bit of landscape has one or more of
them. In the south, you know, all country
houses are built with big outside chimneys,
with open fireplaces at their base. The
negro cabins and the plantation mansions
are alike in this respect. When the houses
are burned, blown or torn down, the Chin

interesting phases of life. human and
other, SO many little things which one
can see nowhere else, that it is impossible
to go through this region without writing
of it. Nothing that have to tell is ro-
mantle, picturesque or important. 1t is a
mere chronicle of commonplaces, a passing
reference to familiar scenes and objects.
AS soon as you get into Dixie the land
scape itself is different from that which
you saw in the north. First you are i'm
pressed by the redness of the soil. From
Washington to New Orleans, except in
limited areas, the ground is almost brick
red. 1t is a soil which runs to weeds.
Such a growth of weeds you never saw
anywhere else. What pity the weeds are
not cotton or the cotton like weedsl Then
the south would not be strugg1ing-s -strug-
CLING with might and main, with priva-
tion and heroism such as the farmers of
the north are not acquainted Within or
der to wrest sustenance from an unwilling
soil.
Clear fields in which nothing but the
crop shows, where the rank, weedy growth
has been entirely eXterminated, are com
mon enough in the north. In the south
they are sadly rare. Look at the soil where
the railway cuttings expose it, and you
see it is as thin as paper-a mere layer of
vegetable compound upon the subsoil of
red. No wonder the farmers must use

teered to 60 to the mountain retreat of
Chris Evans and John Sontag, the men
who are supposed to have robbed the South
ern Pacific express car on the night of Aug.
8 last. The world will probably never know
how much money has been spent, how
many wounds inflicted or how many lives
lost in the chase after these two men. Suf-
fee it to say that Mr.. Bigelow had to give
his assurance not to explain how he found
their retreat, that after long sojourn in
the mountains he found them and passed
some time with them, of which he says:
am permitted, however, to state that the
personal interview which had with the two
men took place Mt point north of Kings river,
and in the neighborhood of the town of Cen
terville, and that it was dictated to me in sub
stance at different times during the stay
made with them there at one Of their several
camps.
OF course the men were innocent" !"
Such fellows always are in the stories they
tell. Also, of course, they could prove an
alibi. But their accounts of the fights they
had had with detectives and trailers agreed
with the accounts of the other party just
as well as If they had been guilty. First,
there was fight at their home in the val
ley, when they killed two men, wounded
two and got wounded in return. They
then fled to the mountains, and in their
next fight killed Oscar Beaver an officer.
Next came the much discussed fight at
"Young's cabin" in which they whipped a
large posse.
So much for the story of the outlaws.
The point here made prominent is that
Journalist Bigelow sought and found them
in their retreat, staid with them several
days, and came out in good form with
good story to tell. And in conclusion he
says:
So after all, while interviewing may be

In the south they drive oxen, cows and

horses you never saw before The colored
men and women have come in all sorts of
conveyances and by all kinds of animals,
or on foot. The men are loafing while the
black women are selling fried chicken,
slices of ham, chinkopins and cookies
The colored women, like women the world
over, are thrifty. They scold too. "You
black, lazy niggahp' they say to their liege
lords and masters for whom they would
sell their souls.
A feature of life in the south is the white
girls who drive one horse gigs. AS rule,
they are pretty girls, with brilliant black
eyes and fascinating vivacity. Many of
them have red hair, and too many of them
powder their faces. Southern women O,
the better class are noted for their beauty,
but so far as have observed they are less
endowed with beauty than with chic, dash
fine eyes and a certain indescribable fascina
tion. They drive like mad through the
streets, over bitches and rough places
laughing all the while. The southern
girl, no matter what her station in life
never flirts on the street. She never
"makes eyes," though heaven knows she
could if she would, because she has the
eyes to do it with--eyes which send thrill,

ger from the north.

ney remains. How many thousand houses
have thus been demolished / do not know,
but the number is astonishingly large. l
could never look at one of these masonry
remnants of homes without wondering
what romance, what tragedy pertained to
the spots which they mark.
In the towns and cities houses are built
with inside chimneys, as in the north, but
every southern house that has any age or
pretentiousness has one unfailing feature
"a hall running straight through its Gen.
ter. If one were travelling in summer and
were to wake suddenly in the morning, not
knowing whether he was north or south,
he could tell in q moment by looking at
the farmhouses.
II he could see through the houses-in
the front door and out the rear-he would
know he was in the south. If at first
glance he saw in the country painted
houses, with we'll ordered fences and out
buildings in good repair, he would know
he was north.
The New England farmer paints every
year, think; the southern farmer paints
never. Put the thriftiest New Englander
on southern farm and doubt if he would
paint much either. Paint costs money,
and when we can grow but half a bale of
cotton on an acre of fertilized ground, and
must sell that half bale for from twelve to
fifteen dollars, he is likely to spend the
proceeds in the absolute necessities of life
and let paint go till the skies shine
brighter.
Near Charleston the owner of fine
olu n,ansion assured me he wouldn't
paint it for fortune. Then he showed
me where on one side bullets fired by oul
forefathers had lodged in the walls, and
where on the opposite side balls shot from
English cannon had imbedded themselves
In the portico he exhibited marks of Fed

won't let you go out of town without din
ing with him, without meeting his friends
and having a good time at his club.
Cotton is never out of ones sight in the
south. Four-fifths of the fields are planted
with it; along the country roads bits of the
white fiber fly in the air or are picked up
by your carriage wheels; the wagons you
pass are loaded with it; the platforms of
the railway stations appear to be burdened
with no other freight.
In the southland you see in every village
the sign, "White Mans Bar" No negroes
dare enter the saloon thus marked. On
the railways a car in every train is set
apart for the use of the blacks, though as
rule no objection Is made to the presence
of colored women in the cars occupied by
whites. A familiar and at the same time
sad scene along railway lines in Dixie is
that of half a hundred convicts in their
horizontally striped clothing standing by
the track side eating their simple dinner,
guarded by men with rifles in their hands.
At the railway stations in the south the
crowds of loiterers are principally negroes.
They are respectful to all strangers.
