is situated in the bosom of the
Sierre's. But before we reached 1t
the tourists had their fret view OF
the San Pedro and the San Pablo
mines, which are situated thous-
ands OF feet up the mountains;
then the town of San Pedro, which
Is a few hundred feet below the
mine.
The scenery from that point was
the most Interesting that We be-
held.
At this point we stopped; the
engineer uncoupled the engine and
by the aid OF siding got in the
rear Of the train pushing us up to
the terminus of the road. This is
done to allow the engine to return
in front of the train, enabling it to
hold back in descending the noun

tains and under the oak, pine and
cedar trees, attract attention from
the tourists. Those jacals are oc.
cupied by the miners and their
families and were full of men, wo.
men and children. Some of the
latter were nude, and they ran
around as independent and as un-
concerned as the cool breeze that
blew down the mountain side.
After passing the water tank we
went up the switch track to the
electric light plant of Senior Jua-
quine Maiz, the owner of the San
Pedro mine. When we reached it
the tourists got out and examined
the plant and also the new cable
that he ts erecting from the rail-
road to the tower of San Pedro
which is to connect with the cable
from there to the mine. This
cable is 1926 feet long.
After examining the plant, the
town OF San Psdro which is situate
ed thousands Of feet above the
power house and frequently above
the cloud, was visited.

road and the lower end OF the
cable Of the Zaragoza mine. The
cable OF this mine is stationary
The buckets run on ground wheels
on the cable and they are worked
by a small cable from the mine.
AS the buckets coming down are
loaded with ore they drive the
empty ones up.
The Zaragoza mine is 1900 feet
above the railroad track, and the
length OF the cable is 1000 feet.
This is the terminus OF the Monte
rey Mineral Terminal railroad, The
grade at that end of the road is the
steepest of any railroad in the
world, being y degrees.
After examining the Zaragoza
cable line, we started up the gulch

Special Correspondence.
MONTEREY. n. L., June a.
The first thing tourists who came
to Monterey ask is "Where can we
find the most interesting points in
and about Monterey? We have
only a few days to stay and we
want to make the most OF it."
The first place that l direct
them to is the Topo Chico
hot springs and take a bath
from there go to Guggen-
heimer's smelter, from there to
the brewery, then the Bishops
palace, the market, the churches
and at night visit the. plazss and
enjoy the music. That will take
two days lid nights.
The most picturesque point In
and around Monterey is the San
Pedro, San Pueblo and the lara
sgoza mining districts, which are
situated at the terminus of the
the Monterey Mineral Terminal
railroad, sixteen miles away.
Last week / accompanied a party
of tourists to these places and
therefore having the scenery re-
newed before me, q say renewed,
because this was not my first trip
hither, but the first time / have
mentioned it in my correspoR-
dence) 1 will attempt to tell
what trip to these places is like.
AT 9:30a. m. we made our start
over the Monterey Mineral Termi.
nal railroad. The first thing to at
tract the attention of the. tourists
from Texas was the Smelter Noe,
then the orchards OF tropical fruit,
the Rio Santa Catarina, the Mon
terey brick works, the Saddle
mountain, the Sierra Madre, the
lesser sierras and the sparkling
brooks whose waters are pure and
clear as crystals.
AS the road is built near Saddle
mountain the tourists from Texas
had a clear view OF it. It's sides
are covered with timber while its
horn towers over 1000 feet above
the road and over 5000 above sea
level, and it presented a beautiful
- pre- that bright morning. 1t

Telegraphing Without Wires.

Telegraphing without wires,
which was demonstrated to be
possible for short distances, at
least, by w. H. Preece, engineer
in-chiet of the English Postal and
Telegraph system, has been prac-
tically employed at the Fastnet
Lighthouse. on the southwest coast
OF Ireland. Here the difficulties
in the way OF maintaining an in
sulsted cable on the exposed rocks,
subjected, as it would be to con-
slant, chatting, were insuperable
and led to the employment of this
method. The cables from the
Lighthouse terminate abruptly 60
yards from the shore and bare
wires dipping into the water from
the sh ore end form the other
