OF lost treasures in the shape Of

old Newspaper man OF the Com
stock, spent much time IN search Of
the lost mining town Of Guaynopa,
supposed to lie somewhere in the
Sierra Msdre mountains, but he
never WAS able to penetrate to whore
the old town was said to be situa-
ted. Hundreds Of mon have lost
their lives while trying to find it.
About three yeras ago this city
was said to have been found by
Louis Proto, . French American
miner and prospector. Proto says
the old ruins are in tho Sierra Ma
drs, in the very heart Of the Apache
country. He went out alone and
prowlsd- through tho mountains
Indian fashion till hs found the re-
mains Of the old town. He found
the ruins Of buildings, furnaces. ar
rsstras and = stone church through
the floor of which large trees were
growing. The whole OF tho people
of Guaynopa were massacred by tho
Apachss over 200 years. ago, and
finally even knowledge OF its site
was lost. Proto returned to La
Trinidad, Sonora, the place whence
he set out, with his pack mule load
cd with tho richest ores OF gold and
silver ever seen in that place.
These ores were oonsideaed good
evidence that he told tho truth
about his discovery, Proto not

in tho old tannel about the ruin, but
also rich gold quartz and placer dig

The party OF searchsrs were pro-
vided with letters from the govern

/. The worst kind Of religion is no religion
at all, and these men living III lease and
luxury, indulging themselves in the amuse-
ment Of going without religion, may be
thankful that they live III lands where the
gospel they neglect has tanned the beastli-

Christianity, might long ago have eaten their
carcasses like the South Sea Islanders, or cut
off their heads and tanned their hides like
the monsters of the French Revolution.
When the microscopic, search Of scepticism,
which has haunted the heavens and sounded
the seast to disprove the existence of a Croa-
tor, has turned its attention to human society,
and has found a place on this planet ten miles
square,. where a decent man can live in de-
eeacy, comfort and Security, supporting and
educating his children unspoiled and unpol-
luted'; q place where age Is reverenoed, infan-
CIV rus ,eeted, manhood respected, womauhood
honored, and human life held in due regard
when sceptics can tDd such q place ten miles
square on this globe, where the gospel of
Christ has not gone and cleared the way and
made deceucy and security possible, 1t will
thenIbe in order for the sceptiea' literati tc
move thither and there ~ventilate their views.
But 80 long as these men are dependent upon
the religion which they discard for every
privilege they enjoy, they may we'll hesitate
. little before they seek to rob the Christian
of his hope and humanity Of its faith III that
Saviour who alone has given to mar that hope
of life eternal which makes life tolerable and
society possible, and robs death of it's terrors

farmer whose testimony was particularly da-

tions, asking many foolish ones and repeating
himself again and again, in the hope of decoy-

robbed and tell the farmer they have
been sent out by the company who
sold the rods, to see if they were all
in good order. They take battery
and make tests and of course show
that the rods are, according TO their
tests, unsatisfactory. Then they go
TO work and tear sections, replacing
them with new rods. After he job
is completed the victim is asked to
affix his signature, being told that
it is only receipt to show the firm
that they have done the job, and in
nearly every case the signature was
obtained. They then find that they

Richmond and others, of near By
numville, and Capt. Webster Nance of

before the county court this week
talking bridge. One faction wanted
the bridge to cross the Charlton east
of Vein, and the other wanted it to
cross opposite Bynumville, while
Capt. Nance is favorable to its cross
ing at the fish trap, a. point be-
tween the proposed Vein and By
numville sites. The Vein element was
represented before the court by c. B.
Crawley and r. C. Ford. while the
Bynumvillians' interests are looked
after by q. S. Hall. Capt. Nance
padded his own canoe. The testi-
mony offered before the court, set
ting forth the merits of each bridge
site was voluminous, and con-
siderable feeling has been engen-
dered among the advocates OF the
various proposed sites. Commits
sioner Wires was sent to investigate
the matter, and reported the Vein
site as being the best location for a
bridge. Wednesday afternoon the
court decided in favor of the Vein or
Buster site, but made no appropria-
tion for the bridge.

Kmires for Too.

Messrs. A. C. Yocum and GRAY
Richmond, two prominent citizens of
near Bynumville, got into an alter
cation on Thursday of last week
growing out of controversy over
the speeches of Messrs. US. Hall and
John M. London, the day before.
one of whom spoke in behalf of De-
mocracy and the other of the Peo-
pies party.
In the heat of the controversy be-
tween Mr.. Yocum and Mr.. Richmond
the lie was passed, and both parties
got out their pocket-knives, although
Yocum, it seems, did not cut at Rich
mond. Richmond thought he in
tended to do SO and made at Yocum
with his knife and cut at him twice,
but without effect further than bend
ing the point of his knife on Yocum's
suspender buckle. At this juncture
friends interferred and put stop to
the war-like demonstrations.

which there has been such wrangle
before the county court this week.
Mr.. Higginbottom, under cross-ex-
animation by Mr.. Hall. attorney for
the Bynumville faction, was asked if
he (Higginbottom) was not a Re-
publican and was Lot present in the
interest of Buster as a Republican.
Matters have come to pretty pass
when a mans politics must he drag
ged into a bridge controversy
Bridges are built for Republicans and
Democrats alike, and it is the rank
est kind of demagogery to try to
make a bridge political issue. Mr.,
Hall has again shown his true colors.
